@JLeslie Let’s get to the root of the issue. CDC guidance says nothing about vaccinated persons being willing to take a small risk. Here is a direct statement from this citation:
“Fully vaccinated people can:
Resume activities without wearing masks or physically distancing, except where required by federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial laws, rules and regulations, including local business and workplace guidance
Resume domestic travel and refrain from testing before or after travel and from self-quarantine after travel
Refrain from testing before leaving the United States for international travel (unless required by the destination) and refrain from self-quarantine after arriving back in the United States
Refrain from testing following a known exposure, if asymptomatic, with some exceptions for specific settings
Refrain from quarantine following a known exposure if asymptomatic
Refrain from routine screening testing if feasible
For now, fully vaccinated people should continue to:
Get tested if experiencing COVID-19 symptoms
Follow CDC and health department travel requirements and recommendations
People who are immunocompromised should be counseled about the potential for reduced immune responses to COVID-19 vaccines and to follow current prevention measures (including wearing a mask, staying 6 feet apart from others staying they don’t live with, and avoiding crowds and poorly ventilated indoor spaces) to protect themselves against COVID-19 until advised otherwise by their healthcare provider.”
Since we just had 3 Politicians that left Texas to go to Washington DC that came up positive for Covid-19, we can see that they were not wearing masks, not social distancing, they resumed domestic travel, did not test before flying and those that did not test positive because of symptoms did not quarantine. They entirely followed the CDC guidelines. It seems those guidelines did not stop the spread of the disease.
That is the crux of my question. The CDC guidelines for vaccinated people didn’t stop the spread of the disease and may even have resulted in others getting sick. You are talking about unvaccinated people and how this impacts them. What if those politicians that had Covid have come in contact with unvaccinated persons and spread it to them? Is that acceptable guidance?
