Zero Risk / Assumed Risk

[GromsDad]

The kooks on the left don't seem to grasp the concept of assumed risk. Their fixation on Zero Risk due to their politics and their panic over the woohoo flu has reached the point of total absurdity. Its time for everyone to ignore these kooks.

Experts: CDC’s Summer-Camp Rules Are ‘Cruel’ and ‘Irrational’

“The CDC’s recommendations are, frankly, senseless. Children cannot be running around outside in 90-degree weather in a mask. Period.”

I can tell that you've never been in charge of the safety of large groups of people before.

Is it just you and your mom at the toner shop?

Dems simply can no longer credibly claim to be the party of science.

Did you read those rules?

 

[GromsDad]

What of the following has greater risk?

Kids swimming at summer camp and drowning.
Kids not wearing masks and getting the sniffles.
Kids wearing masks in 90 degree heat and keeling over.

Do any of those have zero risk?

Make up some numbers and let us know.

No, but I'm guessing they are over reacting to avoid lawsuits.

I think there is under reacting and over reacting going on all over the place.

This fragile society is not set up to respond well to pandemics.

I hope you guys are right and this is whole covid thing is a nothing burger.

I dread teaching in the fall with a mask on.

Ask yourself this...

if you are vaccinated, why are you wearing a mask?

Here's a simple reason - from a practical point of view, there are far too many retarded assholes who would be walking around without masks claiming they are vaccinated when they aren't. And it would be impossible to differentiate between them without the dreaded vaccine passport. So we all suffer (an incredibly minuscule amount) in the meantime until vaccination rates are high enough and infection rates are low enough to make it safe for everyone to walk around without one.

Are you vaccinated? If so, why would you need to wear a mask?

Also, in most areas anybody who wants to get a vaccine can get one now can get one. Certainly by fall anyone who really wanted the flu shot had ample time to go and get one. Given that fact why should anybody be required to wear a mask next fall? Goes back to the topic of this thread.......what is the standard going to be? Zero Risk or the basic principal of Assumed Risk.

If you're vaccinated what the hell difference does it make? Your explanation defies logic. People who've had the opportunity to get vaccinated and choose not to assume their own risk. They are no danger to you if you've been vaccinated.

The same people screeching about masks are also afraid of caravans coming from Central America and we need to build a wall.

I was explaining why masks are still required for vaccinated people, thus many vaccinated people continue to wear them. Not very difficult logic to grasp, but pretty much exactly what I expected out of you for a response.

Btw Grom. Vaccines first became available for people under 50 in my area less than a month ago. I got mine the first day possible. Still can't get the second dose for a few more weeks. Then it takes two weeks after that to become effective. So, your premise that everyone is just voluntarily assuming their level of risk is flawed from the start.

Anti-mask logic: walls don’t work. Immigrants still get in.

No kidding. GD continues to be the dumbest f****** this board.

At what point do you give up this faulty logic? You do realize that there will never be 100% compliance with these vaccines......don't you? Based on your logic you're going to want everyone to wear a mask forever.
