re: LSU requiring proof of vaccination or negative PCR test for games

It depends on which vaccine you received. Last I checked moderna was 67% effective and the others were in the upper 40% range for delta. That was initial data so I am guessing you have something more recent.

I have seen about 20% of our positives in vaccinated people in clinical setting. Considering the vaccinated have similar viral loads (although not as many total days at that high viral load) it doesn’t make sense to allow vaccinated in without a negative test. Yes it is less risk but even if your stat is correct at 4x less likely that is still a high risk. So instead of 500 vaccinated people walking in with Covid you will have 125 vaccinated people spreading Covid to unvaccinated people.

If you allow vaccinated to get in without a negative test you will be having a lot of positives entering the stadium who could infect the unvaccinated.

While I know the vaccine helps (I received it) I don’t believe in mandates. Especially when you are dealing with kids and pregnant women which the vaccine wasn’t tested on in any RCT.
