Just playing hypothetical here; Can you imagine if Trump said, "If you catch COVID and survive, you won't have to be vaccinated."
I reckon it would have caused quite the uproar.

Oh
Is there a reason she wasn't? It seems like she would be one who should.
Then it is really Great she is doing well. Glad to hear that.
Still bet your brother feels awful
She was going to get exposed at some point anyway unless you locked her in her room. Since you failed to do that, you are partially responsible for her death if it had occurred.My brother is anti-vax. He gave my mom some guff over her being careful around him. Then she caught it from him. I'd like to whip his *** but you know, that would not be welcome in the family. Ha... or maybe not ha.
My mom is 86 years old. That is an underlying condition in and of itself. She is ok with some lingering but manageable issues a month later (her exposure was on Jan 10th).
But what if she had died?
Anyone here have an opinion on how I should have handled it with my brother?
At her age your mom could die from a bad cold or the seasonal flu. Would you whip your brother's *** if he had given her the cold or flu that did her in?My brother is anti-vax.

No one is suggesting this. Better reply is if you had Covid, no immediate need to be vaxxed, but it does offer slightly more protection than not. For the unvaxxed who hasn’t had Covid, vaccines for 40+ is strongly recommended. For folks with health issues, even stronger recommendation. And, here is the hospitalization rate by age and weight. Find your spot on the graph and see how much risk you are willing to take.
Here is the problem with mandates: no one in government feels it is necessary to persuade. There is no persuading if all you have is a mandate. Thus, no persuasion or studies to support persuasion was done.

I suggest handle him exactly how you would have handled him in the above hypothetical.
There was no vaccine then, so what’s your point? They knew by January 2021You forgot the chart.
Do you think they "knew" that the body would develop natural immunity after recovery back in 2020?
I understand that very well.I get your meaning but my feeling is he was reckless because he has a burr up his *** about COVID. I actually believe he would have been more careful in pre-Covid years because the mandate argument wouldn't be in play.
You are speaking to my point that your brother would have been more careful in absence of mandates and with much more information supplied by the government concerning risk with age, etc. Since government only cared about mandates, they never really tried to persuade your brother.I get your meaning but my feeling is he was reckless because he has a burr up his *** about COVID.

I'm sorry but unless I'm missing some sarcasm, this is a total assholish response.She was going to get exposed at some point anyway unless you locked her in her room. Since you failed to do that, you are partially responsible for her death if it had occurred.

CDC was purposely vague on natural immunity because they thought people would be more reckless. In absence of a vaccine, the best path forward is actually herd immunity up to the point it overwhelms hospitals. I am supportive of modest methods to suppress viral transmission to prevent hospitals being overloaded (in the hope that a vaccine will be developed), but in absence of that, there is no basis to impose restrictions.But they wanted people to wear masks, social distance, stay home and there was talk about getting vaccines out. So should they have said something about the immunity that would be "available" if they caught it and survived it?
Hawaii completely shut down their tourist industry for a year (required 14 day quarantine). They should have had charter flights with folks who had natural immunity. A positive test result should have sufficed to get on the plane.But they wanted people to wear masks, social distance, stay home and there was talk about getting vaccines out. So should they have said something about the immunity that would be "available" if they caught it and survived it?
To what end? Zero Covid or prevent overrunning hospitals? These are not the same. The CDC pursued policies of the former, not the latter.But they wanted people to wear masks, social distance, stay home and there was talk about getting vaccines out. So should they have said something about the immunity that would be "available" if they caught it and survived it?
Separate note: is he above civil lawsuit?You'd need some kind of probable cause to arrest him and pretty substantial evidence to actually charge him.
Folks who had Covid shouldn’t have to wear masks on airplanes. The mandates are just ******* stupid. Even your brother can sense that.But they wanted people to wear masks, social distance, stay home and there was talk about getting vaccines out. So should they have said something about the immunity that would be "available" if they caught it and survived it?
1/ Labs leak viruses all the time. Fauci knew this research was being done in a lower level safety lab. Criminal.You'd need some kind of probable cause to arrest him and pretty substantial evidence to actually charge him.
Well, given Depends, QueMala, Pelosi, Schumer, AOC, etc, we elected crazies, so perhaps the unelected bureaucrats making decisions based on the crazies is somewhat understandable.On the other end, the paranoid have no bias to make a rational judgement. They should be ignored completely but government is making decisions based on the crazies.
Odd behavior. I mean I expect that treatment. I'm a sooner liberal. It makes me stronger.Same, that is not credible at all.

I'd think you would receive better treatment.
Yes. It’s science.Do you think they "knew" that the body would develop natural immunity after recovery back in 2020?
Should have had a clear honest message from the beginning. That’s how you build credibility and minimize hysteria. Now, the CDC has little credibility and created more hysteria.
