That is why you should get vaccinated to protect those people. They are also the people who may not generate a strong immune response from the vaccine. Don't be a Cuomo and kill vulnerable people.

Most of those vulnerable are already dead.

What, like all the people on chemo? Only a small fraction of vulnerable people have died. Where do you get this crazy information?

or just wear a good mask around them if you don't want to be a guinea pig for an untested vaccine. only a small percentage of that group will have virus symptoms requiring medical attention.

Yeah. That’s not true.

Recent studies show that it’s not really statistically less effective in older adults versus younger ones.

Sooo your plan is to let OTHER people do it for you? That's kind of you.

People on chemo have strict orders from their doctors to stay home and distance.

Are you saying that they don't listen to their doctors?

Masks don't work for viral transmission so if you think someone is vulnerable DO NOT rely on a mask to protect them.

They are a placebo.
