The #covid19 vaccine is extremely protective against severe disease. There's growing evidence that it may reduce the likelihood of people being carriers.
People should resume essential activities but were being put off--like cancer screenings & dental screenings. (2/5)

It's probably fine to resume some non-essential activities, like going to the gym & out to eat. People should still abide by masking & distancing in case they can infect others. I'd still avoid crowded bars--& be extra cautious if others in your home are unvaccinated. (3/5)

What about grandparents who want to see their families? If the reason the visits didn’t occur before was concern for the elderly, then many families may decide it’s fine now because the grandparents are protected. Wear masks during travel & limit social gatherings before. (4/5)

Why not promote a message of social unity where everyone works together to get transmission as low as possible as quickly as possible, so that everyone can be safe? Vaccination helps get there faster; why present it as a free pass for those lucky enough to get vaccinated first?

The elderly have lost a year of the short time they have left on the planet. I’m all for them resuming their lives ASAP.

Thank you! The public really needs this kind of practical advice (and encouragement to get the vaccine). The experts saying we must all continue to socially distance until we reach herd immunity are being unrealistic, and underselling how great these vaccines are.

And will harm the effort to get to herd immunity!

I got both shots and continuing to wear mask, wash hands and keep social distance. No change in behavior until herd immunity.

For me, the tipping point is not herd immunity (which may never be reached given vaccine hesitancy and b/c some vaccines are not great at stopping mild infections) but when everyone who wants a vaccine has received it.
