With such a high percentage of vaccinated, why is there a mandate to show proof of vaccination at gyms, restaurants, bars? What’s that going to do for anyone?
SamSeptember 19, 2021 - 1:41 PM - 1:41 PM
Because it’s not about a virus. Never was. It’s about communism.
ChunkSeptember 19, 2021 - 1:47 PM - 1:47 PM
there is no point in proof of vaccine – since the vaccines dont stop transmission. Both the vaxxed and unvaxxed trasmit the virus.
AnonymousSeptember 19, 2021 - 2:33 PM - 2:33 PM
Because the “vaccine” isn’t a real vaccine and does not provide sterilizing immunity like real vaccines.
We will never have a situation like polio, measles and TB, where the germ was 100% eliminated in the United States. We will never reach that point because COVID will continue to spread between the “vaccinated” and “unvaccinated” alike.
The “vaccine” is therapeutic, but it does not prevent transmission.
MeSeptember 19, 2021 - 5:27 PM - 5:27 PM
And here comes the lies. The measles is still around. Should do some homework. And polio is still around. Just not in the US. The vaccines will stop transmission in most cases. Not all but most. And will help the hospitals.
The want proof because not everyone is from here. Out of county and state.
@Doogie,
It kinda makes you wonder why the vaccinated are so afraid of the unvaccinated.

So 85% with one dose, close to 80% with two doses ….
What is the percentage of the population unable to get the vaccine for medical reasons?
Decreasing cases, hospitalizations, …
And yet our *cough* trusted *cough* health department wants more control over us by mandating we show proof of vaccination. Hmm …. I wonder why. The only reason I can think of behind control is that they are trying to scare us some more. See if we need to show proof, maybe they want us to believe that covid is really bad still …. If we have to show proof, we keep covid up front and in our face. A scared population is easier to control … hmm,
JuanSeptember 19, 2021 - 1:52 PM - 1:52 PM
Shocking… the recall election is over and covid is getting better… just like that the state health department has re loosened up their admission requirements for Covid, their mandatory “guidelines” for care of patients in hospitals…
Funny. Same thing happened in February…
Don’t get me wrong… I’m pro vax. I have been vaccinated and that’s my choice. You can do what ever you do or don’t want to do… but if you don’t see the scam then… ooooh boy… you have problems.
Yay! The proof of vaccination mandate is obviously working. Oh, wait. It hasn’t even taken effect yet. Well, hopefully it’s only going to be until we reach herd immunity, which is at 75%. Wait, what?
Bob KazamakisSeptember 19, 2021 - 2:08 PM - 2:08 PM
How much lower is the hospitalization figure when we account for patients with little to no Covid symptoms, but were hospitalized for something else?
It’s on the horizon, Bob, people are realizing and these health directives are losing credibility. Thanks for the article. I read recently in LA county that 30% of those’ hospitalized with covid’ were incidental findings after pre-op work ups for patients going in for other surgeries. I found this interesting conclusion statement in your referenced article…
“As we look to shift from cases to hospitalizations as a metric to drive policy and assess level of risk to a community or state or country,” she told him, “we should refine the definition of hospitalization. Those patients who are there with rather than from COVID don’t belong in the metric.”

Still waiting for the day people on this site will realize the reason Contra Costa’s transmission and hospitalization rates are going down is because the county is staying ahead of the curve. Yes we shut down sooner, yes we had mask mandates sooner, yes we are now required to show proof of vaccination or negative test to enter indoor spaces where we go maskless, and all of this has kept our mortality rates much lower than the rest of the country. It’s not that it’s not as bad as everyone says, it’s our government and health department doing an above average job at taking mitigating steps. But keep crying “oppression” and “control” while in other states people (including children) are being hospitalized and dying at alarming rates.
SamSeptember 19, 2021 - 4:58 PM - 4:58 PM
You don’t really believe that. It’s impossible to be that ignorant.
MitchSeptember 19, 2021 - 5:51 PM - 5:51 PM
The hospitalizations and cases have been falling for weeks, it has nothing to do with the health department.
If it was important for only vaccinated people to eat indoors, why did they wait to announce it until the recall was wrapped up?
Politics.

Yes, we are being oppressed and if you care to emerge from your rabbit hole of mainstream media and enter the real world, you’ll see the pandemic is done.
Malingering is a psychological term used for those who are no longer sick but don’t want to move on because they derive a secondary benefit from being crippled. Even early philosophers recognized this concept – noting that Hell is a destination of one’s own choosing.

You are right Matt. And anyone who says otherwise is straight of blind. You have so many people that live in fear thinking everyone is out to get them. It’s a joke. They talk about how “My Body My Choice” “My Freedom”
Freedom is not a right it’s a catch phrase…we have freedom of speech but its regulated . Freedom of movement but it’s regulated. How can you go on thinking we live in a free society You pay for everything . You may even be asked to pay for this non existing freedom with your life.
@Yoyohop
That is a lie. As you can see in windows all over the bay. Masks are still required for a lot of indoors things. It’s even posted in windows. A lot will ask you to put one on. Even if it’s not a mandate. They can still kick you out.

As for Masks; yep they are ‘required’ and ‘poisted’, but they are not ‘enforced’ in the bay area. Costco on Monument is not enforcing them and many other small businesses. Check out the 7-11’s throughout the county, most people that work there are NOT wearing masks and most people walking in are not either. So how is Yoyo lying, how? Or do you not see those places because you choose to live in fear?
ChuqSeptember 20, 2021 - 8:56 AM - 8:56 AM
People have the freedom to not get the vaccine. They are just not going to be able to dine in restaurants for a while. There is DoorDash and takeout that will allow them to have those same meals at home.
People have the freedom to get blackout drunk if they want to, they aren’t allowed to drive a car while doing so. Why do you suppose that is when it’s a clear abridgement of their personal freedom?

“Something happened, therefore everything preceding it must have caused it.” Wow, how scientific. Why did cases fall precipitously in late winter when no forecasters predicted it would do so? Why did they rise this early summer? Was that also because our officials did such a good job?
We have high levels of vaccination, and combine that with the naturally acquired immunity, COVID is not a big deal for CoCo County anymore. So in that sense I agree. But the conclusion to be drawn is not “therefore we should keep COVID theatre forever”, but “this isn’t a crisis anymore and we shouldn’t be ruled by public health emergency orders anymore.”
GracefulSeptember 19, 2021 - 3:26 PM - 3:26 PM

I read an article today that said that the Chinese government is reducing the time Chinese children can play video games from 9 hours a week to 1.5 hours a week. And then only on weekends.
I can’t vouch for the validity of this article.
I just wonder when similar restrictions will turn up here.
The health care mandates have nothing to do with the virus.
It’s all about controlling the people.
Once they got control, as they do now, they’ll never give it up.
Willingly.
Bob KazamakisSeptember 19, 2021 - 11:53 PM - 11:53 PM
Personally, I’d say that the government would neither have the ability to so stop people from playing video games so much https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tVkfnTJSA68
Nor would they want to, since it helps to keep many of us passive while they violate our rights. From having people under stay home under house arrest (Quarantine of healthy people) to much more blatantly violating our rights. Bread and circuses and all that.
Get out of Kleptofornica if you can. I did am I M not regretting it a bit. If you want to be part of the 1984 Project go ahead.

I’m sick of getting medical instructions from lying politicians and lying media outlets. Is this really to much to ask for? I think not. In a real world situation, Tony Fauci would have been fired years ago for his AIDS failures. The world is not as real as it should be. Therefore I demand proof and evidence. Watching hollywood stars and politicos and media run propaganda ain’t selling me nothing. GIVE ME THE FACTUAL EVIDENCE if you can.
