Terry McAuliffe says he wants to “make life difficult” for Virginians who don’t comply with his COVID vaccine mandate. “Make it hard for people get on planes or go to movie theaters,” he says.
Why? If vaccination is meant to protect the person who vaccinates, it is that person’s business; if it is meant to protect other people who are unvaccinated, they have all had the opportunity to vaccinate. If you’re vaccinated, you shouldn’t care.
Bob says
Apparently this idiot doesn’t understand constitutional law or Hippa Law
It’s apparent that these vaccines are not working as more people are getting the variant or is this more bs being reported to try and get more people vaccinated .
Everything today tv programs, news outlets ( all of them) are spinning their views to get control .
None of today’s way of thinking is going to get an already divided country reunited.
VA Patriot says
Democrats want to control every aspect of our lives. Their policies make no sense except to perpetuate their power and control over the people. It was recently proven that natural immunity, i.e., that which comes from getting Covid and recovering, gives you 13x more protection from the virus. Also that immunity lasts forever. But the Democrats just bought, with taxpayer funds, 200 million more doses of the so called vaccine and demand that everyone gets the jab regardless of any damage, up to and including DEATH. In fact, they are punishing those who won’t get the jab by denying them the ability to work, travel, operate their businesses, get an education, etc. It is in the Democrats interest to prolong this pandemic fear so they can justify fraudulent mail in balloting and steal another election. Don’t fall for their lies. Your life may depend on it.

No it’s a pandemic among the unvaccinated. The unvaccinated can pass it on to other unvaccinated people and some vaccinated people so any action to prevent the infection spread should be welcomed
Paul Plante says
YAWN!
Robert, are you aware of what is called naturally acquired immunity versus vaccine-induced immunity?
Do you think vaccine-induced immunity uses a different immune system in the body than does naturally acquired immunity, which occurs when the person is exposed to a live pathogen, develops the disease, and becomes immune as a result of the primary immune response?
If so, dude, no disrespect intended, but you are totally lost in space and are very ignorant of how the human body functions.
Once a microbe penetrates the body’s skin, mucous membranes, or other primary defenses, it interacts with the immune system.
The very same immune system that the vaccine interacts with, so your comment about a pandemic of the unvaccinated is pure hogwash.
It really is a pandemic of the very unhealthy and obese people in this sorry nation with weak immune systems that will still be weak no matter how many booster shots they are given.
As I said somewhere else, this is a case of nature, which abhors weakness, culling the herd.
Happens all the time in the natural world, you know, and humans are not exempt from getting culled.
Stuart Bell says
You just keep doing what you are told. Good Sheep.
Paul Plante says
From the CDC:
Immunity to a disease is achieved through the presence of antibodies to that disease in a person’s system.
Antibodies are proteins produced by the body to neutralize or destroy toxins or disease-carrying organisms.
Antibodies are disease-specific.
For example, measles antibody will protect a person who is exposed to measles disease, but will have no effect if he or she is exposed to mumps.
There are two types of immunity: active and passive.
Active Immunity
Active immunity results when exposure to a disease organism triggers the immune system to produce antibodies to that disease.
Exposure to the disease organism can occur through infection with the actual disease (resulting in natural immunity), or introduction of a killed or weakened form of the disease organism through vaccination (vaccine-induced immunity).
Either way, if an immune person comes into contact with that disease in the future, their immune system will recognize it and immediately produce the antibodies needed to fight it.
Active immunity is long-lasting, and sometimes life-long.
Paul Plante says
Lumen Boundless Microbiology:
Naturally acquired active immunity occurs when the person is exposed to a live pathogen, develops the disease, and becomes immune as a result of the primary immune response.
Once a microbe penetrates the body’s skin, mucous membranes, or other primary defenses, it interacts with the immune system.
B-cells in the body produce antibodies that help to fight against the invading microbes.
The adaptive immune response generated against the pathogen takes days or weeks to develop but may be long-lasting, or even lifelong.
Wild infection, for example with hepatitis A virus (HAV) and subsequent recovery, gives rise to a natural active immune response usually leading to lifelong protection.
Paul Plante says
HEALTHLINE
Acquired immunity is different than innate immunity, which you’re born with.
Your innate immune system doesn’t fight specific germs.
Instead, it protects against all germs, like bacteria and viruses, by trying to keep them from entering your body.
Your innate immune system includes things such as:
* your cough reflex
* stomach acid
* your skin and its enzymes
* mucus
If pathogens get through the barriers in your innate immune system, specific antibodies in the rest of your immune system need to mobilize to fight them off.
