California Mask Guidelines to Stay in Place Until June 15

masked womanPress release from the Humboldt County Joint Information Center:

California will keep its current indoor masking guidance without making any changes until June 15, the California Health and Human Services (CHHS) agency announced today.

CHHS Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly announced the continuation of the existing guidance in a virtual news conference this morning. Dr. Ghaly said California reviewed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidance and decided to stay with June 15 as the date those who are fully vaccinated will no longer be required to wear a mask.

June 15 marks the day Gov. Gavin Newsom said the Blueprint for a Safer Economy restrictions would be lifted.

If the vaccinations work why the hell do they have a mask mandate? Everyone who wants a vaccine can get one at this point and those that choose not to take that responsibility on themselves.

This has nothing to do with the scientific process. It’s political theater.

I think progressive are just scared to take their masks off because they’re scared someone will think they aren’t a progressive. Someone might even mistake them for a MAGA supporter, which to them, Is the only fate worse than dying from covid. I would suggest using a pacifier to help ease the stress from the transition of mask separation anxiety.

Congratulations, you win the OCD comment of the day award.

4.5% infection rate after a year and a half of this nonsense, and a wildly inflated .03% mortality rate, yet you’re upgrading your mask…

Yet the masks aren’t to protect you, they’re to protect everyone else.

That is so noble of you!

You’re probably even vaccinated, aren’t you?

I’d say more but I’m choking up over here at the thought of people like you who are willing to put aside common sense, rational thought, and their own dignity in a misguided belief that they’re saving an old immunocompromised gent like me from something I have an infinitesimal chance of even being affected by.

I suspect that there will be a whole collective of PostCovid Syndromes that won’t fully show up for 20 years or so among younger people. Nasty viruses have a tendency to do that. Viruses like influenza, chicken pox, herpes, etc do that and, while it’s too soon to know for sure, sars-cov-2 seems to have all the earmarks of being even worse.

That may very well prove true.

That doesn’t mean the vaccines are risk free, doesn’t mean they have no serious side effects, doesn’t mean there will be no unforeseen long term consequences.

To underestimate the virus’ or the vaccines’ risk, would be foolish.

Both must be weighed carefully in regards to the individual.

There must be no risk placed upon anyone to satisfy the needs, wants or insecurities of any others, while this treatment is under an EUA, and maybe not even after FDA approval, if it proves to be unwarranted.

Mandated injection should never be taken lightly, if ever.

Each person faces a different risk associated with CoVid19 and of the potential vaccine side effects.

This should never be overlooked.

The Connecticut Department of Public Health has published the Ingredients list for the Moderna COVID “Vaccine” and that data sheet confirms it contains a chemical “SM-102.”

The SM-102 Material Safety Data Sheet describes this chemical as “NOT FOR HUMAN OR VETERINARY USE”

Here is the information published by the Connecticut Department of Health about the Moderna COVID Vaccine, which lists its INGREDIENTS:

https://portal.ct.gov/-/media/Coronavirus/Community_Resources/Vaccinations/Print-Materials/Fact-Sheets/Ingredients_English.pdf

According to the manufacturer, Cayman Chemical Company in their filing with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), this chemical causes “Acute Toxicity “Fatal in contact with skin.”

In that same OSHA filing, the manufacturer declares SM-102 “Causes damage to the central nervous system, the kidneys, the liver and the respiratory system through prolonged or repeated exposure.”

Those hazards are the chloroform it was distributed in. Chloroform isn’t good for you. The MSDS sheet is for the whole product as distributed, 10% sm-102 dissolved in 90% chloroform. Here’s a MSDS for plain chloroform for you to compare:

“In that same OSHA filing, the manufacturer declares SM-102 …” is factually inaccurate. The MSDS is for 10% SM-102 in 90% chloroform. The things the manufacturer declares are for this mixture, not for SM-102. Anything dissolved in chloroform is going to be toxic and have a scary MSDS, without saying anything about the safety of that thing itself. That HotCoffee misrepresented this was unlikely to have been done accidentally, hence the intentionally misleading part.

But you see Bushytails, I have already observed behavioral changes in the people I know that have been vaccinated, and I’ve mentioned it before knowing anything about SM 102.

Now it’s adding up.

It changes people.

It’s not as noticable from the inside looking out, it’s more noticable from the outside looking in.

In other words, you won’t necessarily notice what it does to you, but other people that know you are more likely to notice the changes in you.

I’ve noticed it changes people.

They start making less sense, and do weird things, like parking on the freeway and turning their motor off, and acting like it’s perfectly normal, then resist when you prod them to get off the road, and then they take off down the road.

How reassuring is that?

Then, later, they try to insist getting the shots is the only intelligent thing to do.

Kinda makes you wonder, doesn’t it?

If it doesn’t, it should.

Anyone can have an opinion however rude, ill formed or wrong. Even assign opinions to others without justification. Does not make it right. And in this case, it’s really, really wrong to make up inaccurate information, pretend only you see through the misinformation you generate then attack the people who are not misinformed at all.

“As of May 4, more than 105 million people in the United States have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, according to the CDC. During this same time, the CDC received 9,245 reports of vaccine breakthrough infections. That’s less than .01% of fully vaccinated Americans.

Vaccine breakthrough cases are expected. In the original clinical trials, none of the vaccines were 100% effective, nor have they ever claimed to be. No vaccine is 100% effective at preventing illness, according to public health experts and the CDC.

So the vaccines are actually performing better in real-life situations than expected in some regards, according to the public health experts we interviewed.” https://www.ijpr.org/health-and-medicine/2021-05-13/no-the-death-rate-for-vaccinated-people-is-not-higher-than-that-of-unvaccinated-people

That’s funny Auntie Ovine, that’s exactly the same number of breakthrough cases (9245) as of April 26, at which point they said there were 95,000,000 fully vaccinated.

So, 10,000,000 more fully vaccinated and not one more breakthrough case?

You also fail to mention that the CDC clearly stared that these
” …reported vaccine breakthrough cases WILL represent an UNDERCOUNT.”
(emphasis mine)

What you are asserting is not even close to being accurate.

It’s just more bullshit propaganda.

Why should those businesses have to reduce their capacity because of the irresponsible dweebs who refuse to get vaccinated? As an added benefit, it would exclude stupid people who think they’re smarter than everyone else and are a general PITA.

When you stop, you (in the generic sense) stop pushing your (in the generic anti vaxxer sense) medical advice that is so irrational, you will never hear from me (in the generalized sciencephilic sense) again. For the anti vaxxers to be right that they are not a threat to public health, their nonsense about covid being the flu would have to be believed. And that huge numbers of doctors, heads of state and ordinary people are lying in concert about covid being dangerous. And that spreading it does not happen. Since all of those things are on the order of Hollywood fantasy, nothing is likely to change until enough people are no longer getting sick to minimize the chances it will get out of hand again.

If preparing for an indoor sit-down is too much trouble, either sit outside or order to go like people have been doing for about a year. I chose an outdoor table in the sun today, and I’m fully vaccinated.

I think you entirely missed my point.

Part of why states are continuing to require masks even for vaccinated people is because of the difficulty of identifying vaccinated people. Lone Ranger has several times on these forums bragged about how he lies that he’s vaccinated – and this is the problem. The CDC says that vaccinated people do not need to wear masks for everyday activities, while unvaccinated people do. The problem with this policy is people like Lone Ranger who will go without a mask, then claim they’re vaccinated so it’s what they should be doing.

So, the state has two options… Either require everyone to wear masks, despite the CDC guidance otherwise, so the liars still have to wear a mask, or implement digital vaccine passports to require people to prove they’re vaccinated if they don’t have a mask on. Either way, the result is the rest of the population suffers, either by increased restrictions that may not be needed, or by being subjected to serious privacy issues, because of a few dishonest people.

The last study I saw, https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(21)00947-8/fulltext , found the vaccine was 96.7% effective at preventing death. This means it did not protect 3.3% of people. This does not mean it didn’t work – rather, as medical treatments go, it’s exceptionally effective – just that it’s not perfectly 100% effective.

Of course some people get Covid after vaccination since it is only ninety whatever percent effective. But since people getting sick does not prevent all of them from getting sick again, by your own words herd immunity does not work either. Still much better odds on vaccination.

You get my point. Don’t be purposefully dense. Forget what I said about HIPAA then. Everyone’s health should be public record. We should only be allowed to hang out with people who have the same vaccines. If you have herpes, leprosy, AIDS, or any communicable disease, or refuse COVID vaccination you should be put in a colony. Compliance should be mandatory, dissent should not be tolerated. The Fisrst and Second Amendment should be eliminated as they are dangerous to peace and order. I also believe we should be assigned numbers so we don’t have these individual names. Individualism divides, we need unity. Also, what if your name is better than mine? That would be highly offensive.

Then good luck with that. The biggest fires in history have been in places where there was plenty of water. Any place that has forests or vegetation will burn in the right conditions. So you’ll have to live in a place without them. Cities of concrete I guess. Although that’s no sure thing either.

Our area has one of the highest outbreaks in the state.
I will continue to mask so I don’t spread it or bring it home to the people I love and take care of who are more vulnerable to this disease.

The reality is that people who have an inflammatory or autoimmune condition and take medication for it have trouble with getting a high level of antibodies either by getting sick or vaccinated. I wonder if pot smoking has the same effect. I’ve read both that it can suppress immune system reaction, which could help in an acute covid-19 infection, but also that it could prevent a sufficient immune reaction and allow reinfection. I suppose someone will study it as much as current partisanship divides allow.

You all are missing the point that Hillary won, and that everything else you can imagine is a baseless claim without merit, and a big lie/insurrectionist/everyone with apparently only white skin color is a terrorist plotter that is a Russian asset, but not Marxist/Bolshevik/Commie (because those are the retro-new good guys, because they sound rad to freshmen and professional grant writers who fail upward.)

Hard to reply to something so semi-coherent, but the “big lie” is the one being embraced by the Qanon Trump cult, that the Donald is still president. Orwellian, isn’t it? To lose the election is to win the election.

Thanks for trying to follow my fairly poorly edited post.

I suggest for your next Two Minutes Hate prep, you email Hillary in order to determine if she’s updated on what percentage of Democrats still fantasize that Russia stole the 2016 election for Trump.

If you’re feeling really naughty, ask Madam Would-Be what percentage of Democrats believe the 2020 election was stolen FROM Trump.

Also, be sure to find out what percentage of Republicans report even knowing what qanon is.

“I know that one! None! What do I win?!”

*Oopsy-doops! The correct answer is closer to 20-30%. But, you demonstrate some decent doublespeak potential. You’ll be a full-fledged DNC chatbot in no time!

“Yeah, they’re still trying to pretend it’s a secret, but everybody knows.”

*Hard to tell at this early stage in the conversation whether your greatest strength is ignorance, willful denial, prevarication, or delusional thinking. Anyway, something like 52% of Republicans report being unfamiliar with whatever qanon is/was. Not many claim to be very familiar. Perhaps I should predict that your conspiratorial imagination will supply a prefab retort attacking the reliability of poll results of any description, but you could reasonably do an exercise in busting yourself by using an internet search engine. When you do, please be sure to come back and post your losses for us all to see.

Oh, I almost forgot! It’s good of you to avoid—rather than deny—how bizarre (not to mention, “baseless” and “false”) that Democrats could still imagine that Putin must’ve somehow stole 2016 for the Donald. Whatever you do, don’t go looking for polling data on numbers of devoted adherents to that cult.

The key words “Republicans REPORT” not being familiar with Qanon. I would be ashamed to admit it to following such a crackpot fantasy, too. Thing is, even those who have never (or profess to have never) heard of it still spout the talking points of hardcore Q-ers, because they circulate in the Fox/OAN/Newsmax echo chamber.

As to your unreferenced claim that 20 to 30% of Democrats believe the Big Lie that the election was stolen-my Google must be broken because I cannot find anything to back that up. Feel free to give the far-right basement blog source. I’ve never heard a Democrat say that, anywhere, any time.

Most of those who seriously look into the Russia connection (for instance all 13 intelligence agencies) have concluded that Russia tried to influence the election, and that the effect, largely manifested by Russian troll farms was probably not that great. But give them credit for trying, right?

Unity is mandatory. Dissent must not be tolerated. We need to round up all those dissenters and anti-vaxxers and put them in camps already. Carve out a section of New Mexico and put them there

But both Costco and Walmart (among others) have said they will go with the CDC and NOT require masks for the fully vaccinated. Does this rule supersede their company mask policies? Does this mean that the fully vaccinated still need to wear masks in Eureka’s Costco and Walmart?
(I’m not here to argue. If it makes everybody much more comfortable I’ll wear the stupid mask because I’m not in public much, it’s not that much of a hassle for me and I don’t need to rile up my neighbors who may be worried. I’m actually proud of us locally how we keep our fights online and not in public places- other areas have had terrible disrespect to each other)

Actually Costco has said they will follow the government guidance in their locality. So you’d be wrong again. “Customers who live in areas that have state or local mask requirements may still have to wear masks – regardless of vaccination status. ” https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/shopping/2021/05/14/costco-mask-policy-no-masks-fully-vaccinated-cdc-guidance/5100196001/

Thanks for that info. That’s what I was asking for- some clarity on our local stores. But what am I wrong about…again? Or are you just addicted to telling people they are wrong? I know- that attitude is going around more than covid!

Yes. I’m afraid it has become a bad habit due to do much really poor information being promulgated here. Anyone who expresses a reasonable doubt about vaccinations should have a place to say so. And be willing to discuss it specifically.

It’s just that having gone to a link provided in one of the comments about how bad vaccines are, I was shocked to find that, beside misinformation about that, the site touted similar paranoia and misinformation about the military, food, race, politics, etc. It was not just a mindset on vaccinations but repeating of every dubious paranoia theory in the world. Everything was a plot to these people. Which can account for the irrational repeating of the specific misinformation here. So when I see a similar remark, it makes me tend to assume the writer is buying into the whole delusional package.

Wearing a mask while shopping is not a hardship, but I do miss being able to chow down on samples at Costco.

What’s so smart about “getting back to normal”, if “getting back to normal”means cram packing together swapping snotty air with a bunch of mouth breathing snobs, getting spoon fed off the same plates and being brought their bottles and drinking from where so many other lips have been and then leaving a big mess for someone else to take care of?

Back to normal is how this shit spread out of control all over the world, so yeah, it’s the real smart ones that are chomping at the bit to crowd on airplanes and in airports and get back at it.

Insanity is doing the same shit over and expecting a different outcome.

Thinking that getting stuck with a syringe so you can hurry up and do the same shit over that got everyone sick in the first place is the answer is a special kind of stupid.

How anyone figures the way of life that everyone has become accustomed to is somehow normal is beyond me.

How is anyone that demands to be served at a higher level while thinking others should be relegated to the outdoors or ushered down the road not a PITA?

Yeah humans are meant to be dominated. The freedumb thing was totally abhorrent. We must destroy dissent at all costs. Unity is the most important thing. Religion, education, and prosperity must be done away with. People need to go to work, do whatever job their place in society dictates, and go home. They will be given food rations and that’s it. They must pray at the Alter of the State twice per day to give thanks to the over-lords who are so generous as to let people live in such a peaceful and orderly society. Countries and ethnicities, as well as any mention of race must be done away with all in the name of Equity, your new god.
