The simple part is that more or less everyone wants the damn pandemic to be gone, to a reasonable extent, and so sensible people follow protocols to d...
Right, yeah, the day-after-downtime is common enough I think, often after the 2nd vaccination. It's usually advertised by those administering the vacc...

Quick follow-up, FMI. Suppose a family had decided not to let unvaccinated (or untested / unmasked / not following protocols) into their home. Would y...
My impression is that many places, like (elementary) schools and military, have used "vaccine passports" of some sort for a long time. Don't have numb...

, at some point I was interested in whether people learn from history, it's not like covid-19 is the first pandemic. Some commentaries out there (like...
I'm seeing some accusations of hypocrisy here, while at the same time committing a two-wrongs-make-a-right fallacy. Yeah, most reports show that more ...

I guess it's a social thing. Not the same as pizza with pineapple. There are social consequences to take into account as well. /uploads/files/2x/vf8z5...
