Thanks... yeah, still nothing about hospitalizations by age or vaccination status, unfortunately. Just everyone lumped together.

A little after the halfway point there is a section titled Healthcare settings. I didn't dive too deep into this yet but the first link under there looked like you could at least filter by age. Not sure if this is what you are looking for but thought I'd point it out.

Of course you have a right to privacy, nobody's disputing that. Nobody can compel you to disclose your vaccination status. But also, anyone citing HIPAA is stupid, and anyone who thinks merely asking if you're vaccinated is violating your right to privacy doesn't understand your rights to privacy. Feel free to decline to disclose anything, nobody's forcing you. But if I don't want to disclose my finances to a financial institution, they don't have to give me a loan. If you don't disclose your vaccination status to entities that have determined they require it for the safety of their other patrons or their own employees, they don't have to serve you.
I'm not saying an individual doesn't have the right to choose what's best for them, they do. And society as a whole can determine that individuals making these choices don't get to endanger the rest of us. It's your right to sit at home and get drunk; it's not your right to get drunk then get behind the wheel of a car. Eliminate alcohol and you still don't have the right to drive: you have to pass a test and pay car registration fees. We also don't let blind people drive, is that a violation of their rights? You can't smoke on a plane because it impacts everyone around you. The analogies go on and on, but nobody's forcing anyone to do anything, and the right to forgo the vaccine doesn't extend to endangering the rest of society.
Laughing at the stupid reasons people come up with to validate their desire to endanger the rest of society isn't incongruent with wanting them to be healthy and well, which I think would be a benefit to society. And I'm not out here advocating we turn into China and start welding anti-vaxxers in their houses. I just don't want them sitting next to my kids on a plane.
Tell that to people working in the ICUs around here. They're more crowded than they were at the previous peaks, and the healthcare workers are exhausted and traumatized from a year and a half of watching people die, holding up phones to them so their loved ones can hear their last gasps for air. What a great way to let this thing burn itself out "naturally."

So what is the best explanation in favor of this massively increased push for vaccination mandates in light of the recent discoveries that breakthrough infections and transmission from fully vaccinated people are higher than initially expected? I'm trying to understand the logic, because it seems rather contradictory.

You can totally have a free society where vaccines can be mandated - if you are in the US you are living in one.

(1) That is not what privacy means amigo. See Roe v. Wade (discussion on 4th and 14th Amendment). You obviously are just focusing on HIPPA. Thats not what I'm talking about.
(2) We are ultimately talking about lines to draw here. 99% (and better) survivability rate = not risky and not worth mandating. The balance here is not in favor of draconian measures (if we were talking about something more deadly, different analysis...This isn't it). If the government can force anyone to do anything that they deem unsafe (and that can be anything if we are considering things that have a 99% survivability rating), then you are giving up personal autonomy. Might as well be China with a social credit score.
(3) Its not endanger. If you are vaxxed, you are safe. PERIOD. If you are saying you aren't safe, then you don't believe in vaccines. And thus, they were right to begin with. As for your kids...well...you don't have a right to fly. As you said. Quite frankly, I don't think kids should be allowed on airplanes. My flights would sure be alot better. (Hopefully vaccines will be approved for them....and even if they got it...VERY LOW CHANCE OF ANYTHING SERIOUS HAPPENING). You don't get to dictate others people's freedom because you FEEL unsafe. You aren't. Not with a vaccine and kids are fine with Covid.
(4) I don't care how they feel. I didn't choose their job for them and I'm sorry ya know...sick people dying is a part of that job...in a hospital. That is not a reason at all to limit individual freedoms. And yeah, it should burn out naturally. Especially now that we have vaccinations. I think we should all do everything we can to educate and address misinformation...But in the end...if people want to roll the dice...effing let them. Why is it so hard for you and others of your ilk to let people live (and potentially die) by their own decisions? What else do you want to mandate for their own safety? The way you write, it can be absolutely anything. And thats the thing...I don't think they care. They just want them to do what they are told...they want that power...

The need for logic has died a long time ago I'm afraid. We're in a phase where they'll continually poke and prod us with new mandates and restrictions to see how we'll react and if we'll allow it. Science became a cult and there's no stopping whoever is manipulating it.

Went to my first clubbing event in UK at weekend.
Showing proof of vaccine was done in seconds (think ahead kids and download as a PDF!). Same with my ticket. Took longer to be searched for drugs.
Only thing that slowed things down was dopey youths unaware of this particular clubs policies, probably same little shits that claimed they were robbed of Brexit but didn't even know there was a vote on because they were too busy TikToking their dicks and fannies.

Yeah, that's what I suspect, but I would love to hear whatever the best explanation is and try to candidly evaluate it.
I mean, what we were hearing before this latest Delta panic was that everyone needed to do their part to get vaccinated to protect those who could not. And then it came to light that actually breakthrough infections are more common than we expected (at least with Delta) and vaccinated people who are infected can spread it just as easily as the unvaccinated, and that it seems like vaccine efficacy may be fading over time (Israel data), etc. etc. and somehow that all triggered this renewed vigor to go hardline on vaccine mandates and none of it makes a lick of sense.

LOL, you want to go a few rounds on this? Alright, lets go.
You cited Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 197 U.S. 11 (1905). If you were being completely honest here, you would have used the whole quote which states "It related to compulsory vaccination, and the law was held valid as a proper exercise of the police powers with reference to the public health. It was stated in the opinion that it was a case "of an adult who, for aught that appears, was himself in perfect health and a fit [*56] subject for vaccination, and yet, while remaining in the community, refused to obey the statute and the regulation adopted in execution of its provisions for the protection of the public health and the public safety, confessedly endangered by the presence of a dangerous disease." Lochner v. New York, 198 U.S. 45, 55-56
Moreover, the vaccination in question was for SMALL POX. According to wiki had a 30% mortality rate. See contra (Covid with less than 1% mortality rate). That is orders of magnitude different than the situation we have with Covid.
Thats not even getting into the other cases that distinguish Jacobson.
So shove that clean up your pipe on that citation. I never said the state CAN'T do it, I said that they shouldn't for lots of different reasons...including following the precedent you cited.

Not really sure what you're trying to show me with that as a reply to what I asked, but Louisiana does not look in terrible shape. Looks like your cases may have peaked already and your deaths were higher this time last year when cases were lower. Sounds like the vaccines are working to protect those who wanted it.

Hey, I know. Some people are uncomfortable with the jobs they chose that literally deal with death....Lets completely run a truck over each and every citizens' rights to personal autonomy in light of a disease with a less than 1 percent mortality rate. Certainly some folks feelings are more important that the U.S. Constitution and freedoms.

Sad anecdote that shows you really just never know, but a reminder that a total of 45 people under the age of 50 in England had died with the Delta variant from February 1st through July 19th.

You can keep setting up strawmen to justify the sociopathy or perceived tough guy routine you're displaying here but I'm pretty much done. Agree to disagree.

As long as the vaccines reduce chance of infection, they'll want people to get it regardless of the quality and duration of efficacy. After the Israel data came out there's been a steady push of news stating that 90% of hospitalized are unvaccinated. So I believe off of that they ramped up the mandate talks. But truthfully, they were going to come regardless of what the virus was going to do.
At this point it's still much less lethal isn't it? I saw someone in the thread bring up there is worry that hospital beds and ICU are starting to fill up again. So I guess that's the second trigger for mandates.
Raven117

Its nether of those things, and what you are proposing is far more insidious. its not as strawman either. You are the one that brought them up.
You are using these frontline workers as justifications not to question your motives of literally robbing people of their personal autonomy to choose a vaccine with less than 1% mortality rate. As I said, you may be well meaning, but you don't realize what you are doing. OR, you know exactly what you are doing, and want to be able to mandate a vaccine to control people the way you want to.

It's not a bizarre direction at all.
As you casually talk about taking away the rights of people for being "ignorant" it's obvious you don't know the consequences of what you're talking about. In your mind, you believe it's the deplorables that voted for President Trump that are going to get railroaded, but that's only because you don't know the data. What you're really doing is cheer-leading for kneeling on the necks of the entire black community. I don't think you're purposely being racist, but you're advocating for racist policy without a doubt.

If NY, CA, and other left leaning states have their way the black community is getting a one ways ticket to indefinite state dependency. Or perhaps that's the plan?

We already knew this for a long time. However, don't you find it interesting that once we relaxed Covid mandates, coupled with the fact that we have one of the lowest rates of vaccinations in the country our cases are exploding including the number of hospitalizations of those particularly not fully vaccinated?
Simply put, the best way to protect yourself and your community is to get fully vaccinated. Especially if you have any underlying health conditions.
At this point, I don't see any good reason why someone would not get the vaccine unless they are immune-compromised.

Great, just wanted to clarify that you believe someone is a "dumb motherfucker" for pointing out the parallels in requiring people (most often minorities) to show papers or be segregated/shunned from society, because we all know historically these measures have worked out splendidly.

Showed me. 250 deaths in a city of 500k over 3 years. Scale that up to the current US population and you are looking at 200000 deaths over 3 years. It's just on a completely different scale to COVID.

All that shows is the age data for the entire pandemic, I believe. I'm talking about the more recent weekly data.
No, because it's following a seasonal trend, and deaths are down year over year while cases are up (same thing we're seeing elsewhere with Delta).
Sure, if you want to get vaccinated for the extra protection, go for it. I am not trying to stop anyone.
Luckily for everyone, you're not the arbiter of what constitutes a good reason.

No, but salivating at the idea of shunning and segregating the unvaccinated while knowing full well that would disproportionately affect historically marginalized ethnic minorities quite possible is.

It's not meant to be a bait at all, but it is in line with that the Boston mayor is also saying.
Boston mayor compares NYC’s vaccine mandate to slavery, birtherism
The mayor of Boston said the city won’t be following New York’s lead requiring proof of vaccination at many indoor businesses, claiming the move is reminiscent of “slavery” …
nypost.com
I think it's dumb policy regardless of who gets disproportionately affected, but the numbers do paint a picture of who will be hurt the most by such policies, and it doesn't look pretty from my vantage point.
Anyway, I'll drop it since apparently it's too political and Zangiefy got banned already.
I don't think I ever said it was a good idea. There are far too many factors at play and it completely depends on your situation. That's why it should be left up to the individual and this talk of universal mandates is insane.
