time. now others are saying they have break through infections. now dr. fauci, cdc will pay attention to the science, pay attention to the data, natural immunity, hybrid immunity, combination of natural plus vaccined are more robust than two dose of the vaccine. maybe some of the shaming will start to go away? yeah. i would just say that dr. fauci has made it very clear for a long time now he has no interest in actually following the science and he is high on power. the idea he wants to punish people and prevent them from essentially seeing their family if they, because they can t get on a domestic flight, where is his authority to do that, especially considering everything that dr. saphier laid out about vaccinated people spreading it, also getting breakthrough infections? we were told a year ago, maybe longer, by airline ceos, that planes are the safest places that you can be when it comes to
