Bidens visit Carters--maskless

[chevyontheriver]

So in other words, behind closed doors he's taking unnecessary risks; but out in public he puts on a good show; while he tries to tell others how to live their lives?

That’s good theater.

No, that doesn't answer the question.

In fact, it does.

Why would there be any difference? I mean the vaccination works or it doesn't. If it doesn't work; then one vaccinated person could carry the disease, and spread it to another vaccinated person.

No, you are mistaken that "the vaccination works or it doesn't". It is not absolute, I'm surprised you haven't heard that it is something like %95 effective, meaning both that with some few people, generally those with compromised immune systems, it will not work and with most everyone it will be at least partially effective, meaning if they do get infected, it will be less serious.

Furthermore, the amount of viral load a person is exposed to affects how seriously he gets infected. The greater the load, the worse the infection is likely to be, which is why younger, healthier doctors and nurses who got heavily exposed were more likely to die than those who had light exposure.

If it does work; then why would it matter whether or not a vaccinated person was exposed to someone, vaccinated, or unvaccinated, who was carrying the virus?

Again, it is mostly effective, but not entirely. It is not all or nothing.

Fire burns, right? A raging fire burns hotter and more completely than a mere spark, yet a spark can lead to a bigger fire under the right conditions. Wearing masks where a spark can trigger a major fire is a preventative - not perfect.

So in other words, behind closed doors he's taking unnecessary risks; but out in public he puts on a good show; while he tries to tell others how to live their lives?

No, he is following the CDC recommendations while trying to get people to do the same.

It must be dizzying to be a black&white mindset conservative. First, the autocratic socialists were going to force us to wear masks in perpetuity as they slowly crushed all facial freedom. Now, the sight of Biden (who used to wear the YUGEST masks) not wearing a mask sends them off into another irrational goose chase.

If only they could listen to Trump, a certified genius:

"I wear a mask when needed. When needed, I wear masks."

The CDC has helped provide guidelines for when one should wear a mask. As the situation in reality changes, so does the response.

Doesn't liberal mindset like being faced with it's own hypocrisy?

And the liberals who hate him so much accepted that as reasonable, right?

Trump? It’s not possible that liberals could accept that Trump could be reasonable about anything.

Fully vaccinated people do not need to wear masks around each other.

Why is this so difficult to understand?

Behaving differently before and after vaccination is not hypocrisy.

And the liberals who hate him so much accepted that as reasonable, right?

I don't think you'll find any liberals who told people to disregard Trump's advice to wear masks when necessary.

At worst, he was taken to task for the needless delay in his use of the bully pulpit to spread this beneficial message, after spending months downplaying the crisis.

 

[Aldebaran]

Behaving differently before and after vaccination is not hypocrisy.

Are you now claiming that the narrative about vaccinated people still being carriers in no longer true (or en vogue)?

I guess "Biden follows CDC guidelines" doesn't have the same ring to it.

If it were Trump, the headlines would be, "Maskless Trump endangers elderly former president". The first line of the article would read, "In another show of utter disregard for the safety of others during this unprecedented pandemic, President Trump and first lady Melania appear maskless once again during their indoor visit with an elderly and frail former president and first lady. In response, speaker Nancy Pelosi blasts the president once again for what she calls his 'wreckless and insensitive behavior'".

Maybe you can find some piccies of the guy actually wearing a mask at any time. There is a fair proportion of your countrymen who still won't wear one because of his intransigence.

Well, gee. You didn't actually need to go and look for a few. We all know that some exist (notwithstanding that a majority of those photos are of him at one event). But don't try to convince anyone that he was even ambivalent about whether people should wear them. He stressed on many ocassions that he wasn't going to wear one himself. Hence the vast majority of his supporters didn't either.

Maybe I didn't need to, but you indicated a desire for me to do so.

All hail the CDC.

It's the truth, but truth isn't as useful to Biden's enemies.

Who would you listen to for medical advice? A phrenologist?
