One out of three isn't bad, I guess. The experts can't agree on Pandemic strategy. The science is telling us that masks are only 10% effective, if you wear the blue and white surgical mask variety, or a cloth mask, because they don't form a sufficient seal. Even N95 respirator masks are only 50% effective. If that is true, why are there battles being fought everywhere over mask usage? The only rational strategy so far is vaccination. Yet, only 50% of us are getting vaccinated? Sure, vaccination with a new technology is risky. But, life is about balancing risk, isn't it? So, let's not fight over the masks. Let's follow the science and get vaccinated. I like those odds. I remember the surgeon telling me that my bypass surgery had a 98% chance of success, and I told him I liked the odds. A vast majority of medical professionals are saying the same thing about vaccines. Yes, we don't know the long term effects of the vaccines. But, we certainly know the short term effects of COVID-19. Pick your poison.
