I am the only person at the company that is not vaccinated. they attempted to bully me into getting the vaccine. i am extremely lucky and grateful that i found a good job as quickly as i did. i let them know today that i would be moving on. they countered with "we would be willing to let you work from home to keep you." i declined.

feels good. stay strong but also stay smart.

Especially when "herd immunity" was what, 70%? Proof that the vaccinated are crabs in a bucket.

This 70% keeps floating around for different states. IMO lies. I think there are a lot of people refusing.

There's no way herd immunity is 70%. I believe herd immunity is in the 30-40% range, at its highest, and around 20%. This depends on several things though, like how contagious a bug is. Think about what they are saying with herd immunity being 70%, they believe 7 out of 10 people will have or had the bug. If 7 out of 10 people were visibly sick, recovering or coming down with it, instinctively, you would start to change your habits to avoid them.

That's just insane.

I only started hearing about "herd immunity needing 80%/75%" when it was being reported in the mainstream media. Prior to that, it required 90-95% of the "herd" to be immune.

Further, the requirement increases depending on how infectious the virus is. Delta is supposed to be highly infectious.

Vaccinations apparently rapidly decline in effectiveness. However, as has been shown in other coronavirus infections, naturally acquired immunity also rapidly declines in effectiveness. We've evolved to treat this type of virus as an ephemeral threat, not worthy of devoting resources to long-term immunity.

The only way to get through this without losing our minds will be to stop freaking out and get back to business, soldier on, and take the losses as they come.
