4. General public

They're anticipating that the general public should have access in the Apr-Jun timeframe.

Children still TBD (need to do trials).

So, category 4, the General Public, is about 125M. In other words, once you get through the top 3 categories, you have covered two-thirds of the population. Is that right?

How about you show us the study showing us the vaccinated are unable to spread the virus?

This vaccine stopping spread is far from a given: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nyt...ntion.amp.html

There's obvious overlap in the categories, so the net number of individuals will be less than the sum of the first three categories. Lots of overweight Americans, but some of them are nursing home residents, doctors, nurses, bus drivers, even pilots.

Don't know how big that overlap would be. SWAG? Something like net 50% of the population in the first three?

No data, for or against, has been released with regard to viral shedding after vaccination.

I will give them the benefit of the doubt and treat this like 99 out 100 vaccines that do stop viral shedding.

They know what they are doing.

I thought WutGate was a fan of Fauci. Perhaps not.

Boy things like nuance just go completely over your head, don't they?

From the article

Quote:

“I can feel more relaxed in essentially not having the stringency that we have right now, but I think abandoning it completely would not be a good idea,” Fauci said.

It's going to take the better part of a year to vaccinate everyone. It's not unreasonable to taper the restrictions and monitor the results-as-you-go.
