Which always was and always will be the case. That's why they said vaccines were 96-97% effective, and not fool proof. This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

Re: New COVID-19 Vaccine / Negative Test Mandates
 

Just like with any other vaccine for respiratory viruses. Cmon.

Re: New COVID-19 Vaccine / Negative Test Mandates
 

It's amazing how stupid you are.

The vaccine has never been about not testing positive for the virus or spreading it to others. It's about preventing serious illness, hospitalizations so hospitals don't get overrun and deaths.

Have you not seen the real numbers that over 99% of deaths in the month of June were unvaccinated people.

Fuck off pal.

Re: New COVID-19 Vaccine / Negative Test Mandates
 

This was wholly unnecessary.

Re: New COVID-19 Vaccine / Negative Test Mandates
 

1. Covid with vaccinated people is less transmissible to others than unvaccinated people.

2. The vaccine saves lives.

Re: New COVID-19 Vaccine / Negative Test Mandates
 

Lets say without this mandate-
10000 people attending. 3000 people not vaccinated. 1000 of them test positive, get sick and end up in the hospital, 25 of them die.
7000 vaccinated- 750 of them test positive...... 1 or 2 end up in hospital, none of them die.

With this mandate-

10000 people attending, 1500 test positive, 2 or 3 end up in hospital, none of them die.

Those that are not vaccinated....and test positive..... we know they likely wont be spreading the virus to anyone else..... but them attending is at their own risk, and possibly could get the virus and end up in a hospital. (because yeah, theyll probably ignore the recommendations and WONT wear a mask)

These ignorant, unwilling to do what it takes to end this pandemic, people are being thrown a bone by these venues allowing the unvaccinated to attend with a negative test.
The vaccinated are not sitting in ICU's and dying. Period.

No it wasn't. Read that person's initial post.

Re: New COVID-19 Vaccine / Negative Test Mandates
 

“Mandates” sounds so cold and impersonal. I don’t like it.

Re: New COVID-19 Vaccine / Negative Test Mandates
 

I don't really care what his initial post was. Calling him stupid and telling him to fuck off was juvenile and out of line. Try to act like an adult.

Re: New COVID-19 Vaccine / Negative Test Mandates
 

I'll try a rewrite.

Dear currupt3d**,

It's amazing how uninformed you appear to be.

The vaccine has never been about not testing positive for the virus or spreading it to others. It's about preventing serious illness, hospitalizations so hospitals don't get overrun and deaths.

Have you not seen the real numbers that over 99% of deaths in the month of June were unvaccinated people?

Please educate yourself, pal.

Re: New COVID-19 Vaccine / Negative Test Mandates
 

The only reason so many of you are happy about this mandate is that it will disproportionately keep out people of color. I shouldn’t be surprised.

There it is, the worst post ever on Ants.


Seriously, fuck off.

Re: New COVID-19 Vaccine / Negative Test Mandates
 

:lol :lol :lol Have you ever been to a DMB show?

Re: New COVID-19 Vaccine / Negative Test Mandates
 

I assumed it was just an over the top joke. As someone that's been to 50 shows, the numbers of times I've seen more minorities in the audience than in the band was....zero.

Re: New COVID-19 Vaccine / Negative Test Mandates
 

So you're trying to do this in multiple threads and just kind of seeing what gets traction?

Re: New COVID-19 Vaccine / Negative Test Mandates
 

There is literally no chance that was a serious comment :lol. A stupid troll obviously. When the PHJB guested with DMB, there were legitimately more people of color on the stage than the crowd of 10,000 :lol

Re: New COVID-19 Vaccine / Negative Test Mandates
 

I saw a funny joke one time--something along the lines of "a strange irony that Dave Matthews is in a band with several black guys, yet he is the only African American."

Re: New COVID-19 Vaccine / Negative Test Mandates
 

He made the same post in like a dozen threads. He's a shit posting troll and he's gone now.

Re: New COVID-19 Vaccine / Negative Test Mandates
 

Wouldn’t a logical “solution” be that everyone attending needs to have a negative test result regardless of vaccine status?

Re: New COVID-19 Vaccine / Negative Test Mandates
 

best to do them right at the venue, just to be sure.

Re: New COVID-19 Vaccine / Negative Test Mandates
 

Open with a test, close with it, get one a few times in between.

Re: New COVID-19 Vaccine / Negative Test Mandates
 

Yes

Re: New COVID-19 Vaccine / Negative Test Mandates
 

Would that make the anti-vaxxer whining shit heads stop being whining shit heads about this? Cuz, if so, sure, I'll take a test before a DMB show despite being vaxxed already. I did it before WPB. Some skin off my nostrils but no skin off my sack.

Re: New COVID-19 Vaccine / Negative Test Mandates
 

How about womandates? It’s a little more romantic.

Re: New COVID-19 Vaccine / Negative Test Mandates
 

They’d simply put themselves in a smaller box and complain about false negatives/positives. YOU KNOW THAT HAPPENS, RIGHT? 62% OF COVID TESTS ARE FALSE POSITIVES*

For people complaining this has nothing to do with health and well-being, and everything to do with them being inconvenienced.

The logical solution is to get vaccinated, or get a test, or don't go.
