Teedy Officially Shifts the Goalposts: % Vaccinated is the new metric for reopening.

And of course our Race Bait Doctor has this to say:

quote:
NEW ORLEANS — Mayor LaToya Cantrell doesn't appear to be in any hurry to reopen New Orleans soon after the state announced it was easing many restrictions on businesses and gatherings. In fact, it could take weeks or more before the city is ready to loosen restrictions.
At a press conference Thursday alongside community partners, she said that while the city's vaccination numbers -- 35% of the city has started the vaccination process -- were among the top in the state and the country at large, there would still need to be a higher threshold before reopening.
The city is under a modified Phase 3 order, which limits the number of people allowed to gather and puts some restrictions on venues and businesses.
And listening to Cantrell, it doesn't appear that the city will loosen restrictions any further anytime soon.
While not stating a firm number of vaccinations to loosen restrictions further, Cantrell mentioned that herd immunity is supposed to be achieved when 75 percent of a population is vaccinated.
If that is the number, or close, it could take a while. It's been more than three months since the first doses of the coronavirus vaccine began hitting arms in Louisiana, so even with additional doses in the form of the single-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine, there will likely be a long road ahead for New Orleans.
It could be months before the city reaches that level of vaccination, even with more robust options available.
And Cantrell said the city would be using those vaccination metrics going forward.
And of course our Race Bait Doctor has this to say:

In Orleans Parish, about 60% of the population is Black. But just over 40% of the distributed vaccines have made it into the arms of Black residents -- mirroring similar statewide trends.
"They have to be the way out for everyone, not just those with the fastest internet or most leisure time," Avegno said.

She has shifted the goal posts multiple times in the past 24 hrs!

You will always have a segment that simply refuses to get the vaccine.
Getting to that 75% threshold may never even happen. She's a loon.

If 20% of the population is kids under 17, that means only 5% of adults don’t have to be vaxxed and upgraded to 5G.

First of all, it can't even happen currently because under 16 year olds aren't even eligible to take the vax.

This is just another ploy by Libs to give y'all all the chip implant and to expand the welfare nanny state in order to harvest more votes.

What percentage of people get the flu vaccine every year?
Posted on 4/1/21 at 12:55 pm to Fun Bunch
Shame the City can't distribute the vaccine themselves with city vehicles and some healthcare workers.
If only the populace was peaceful or willing to accept the vaccine in these neighborhoods

I guess it's too much to assume they mean 75% of the eligible population. That would be giving them too much credit.
New Orleans area has 58 people in the hospital right now with Covid.
FIFTY EIGHT. I can't stress that enough.

Well that is just stupid.
The Phizer vaccine is only good for 6 mos. The rest are likely similar. She going to shut the city down and make everyone get vaccinated every 6 mos?

Pfizer announced today that it is good for AT LEAST 6 months...because that's the available data they have for a large enough group to make that call.
Sheesh

“we can’t open until y’all get vaccinated”
Seems a little tyrannical no?

Yup. And the Southwest LA Region with Lake Charles being the only large city, has 71.

She expects 75% vaccination with a majority population who is skeptical of government mandated vaccines due to past experiences.
No way in hell Orleans gets close to that number. Especially if it has to be refreshed every year.
