I hope they lateral elsewhere. San Francisco has become an even bigger shithole.

"Of SFPD specifically, about 5% of staff members, including 76 police officers, remain unvaccinated. SFPD has a staff of 2,117. Thirty-five fire department staff and 39 employees in the sheriff's department are unvaccinated, as well. A further departmental breakdown was not immediately provided by SFDPH."

https://www.sfgate.com/bay-area-poli...y-16536031.php



"While about 72% of adult Californians and 64% of Los Angeles residents 16 and older have received at least one vaccine dose, only about 51% of LA firefighters and 52% of the city’s police officers are at least partially vaccinated, the Los Angeles Times reported Saturday.

Fewer than 30% of Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department staff have received vaccine doses through employee clinics, and about 54% of state corrections employees are at least partially vaccinated."

Yes!! It only means more people are being vaccinated.

95% vaccinated in the SF police dept is pretty close to 100%. It should give herd immunity.
When is the civil war starting, & is it going to be on TV?

Man it was horrible ten years ago.
People defecating on Market in broad daylight, and San Franciscans just casually walking by. Can't imagine how it is today.
Aside from the weather, I don't get the draw to the west coast-at all.

It's even worse now. Much like Seattle, it looks just as bad as Los Angeles and is surging in crime as well.

I don't know, have you looked up the meaning of virulent yet? Less virulent means the characteristics of the virus have changed making less deadly which is not the case. That is way different then being less contagious/infectious. Yes, there is a lower viral load in vaccinated people and their bodies clear the virus faster, both meaning vaccinated people are less likely to infect others. You simply avoided my first question...

Excuse me, sir.
I put good time in to answer your question. If you put in equal time to what I did, you will know that this is a very hard stat to nail down. The articles I read said that we need better tracking to answer your question.
I tried to satisfy your inquiry by giving related info. I failed to find exactly what you want, but how does that bear on the bigger vaccination questions?

The best answer I found said that some of the virus shed from vaccinated folks consisted of some dead, weakened, & thus less virulent virus particles. Hence, on the whole the shed would be less virulent. To prove this you would have to culture many viral samples, which we don't do.

I didn't ask a question! You were the one who stated that being vaccinated makes the virus less virulent and posted threads which did not back that up. The virus spread by vaccinated is unchanged by the vaccine.

I have never disputed the benefits of the vaccines and its ability to reduced transmission. I'm asking you to prove/back up the less virulent claim but as usual you somehow deflect.

You asked me to clarify my post. I tried a few times, & then admitted I failed to satisfy you.
I understand your upset with my use of 'virulent'. I didn't use the word in a strictly proper way. But I subsequently tried to explain what I meant.

And I asked you a question, pls. How does this mattter in the big pic?

If this was an "attempt to clarify" it is a poor one and basically your only response to me.

Can we please stop with the virus crap? I would REALLY hate to see this thread get locked because a few people *still* do not comprehend that BP no longer offers a Politics & Religion section and does not welcome those topics any more.....

It's nice to see that cooler heads are prevailing in the U.S. Supreme Court.

Naw. We've veered off the path before, but we self-corrected. I think we'll be okay.

It's back to work later this afternoon. A gangster was shot twice in the leg last night in my patrol area. I wish the other gangster had been a better shot and his grouping was about two feet higher.
