Fully vaccinated individuals now spared of masks in the casinos in Vegas

[blockman]

It's just a privilege for those fully vaccinated that they are allowed not to wear masks but if they still think that they have to wear them for their own added protection then they should wear them at all times. Someone might think that he's not fully protected through vaccine but it has a high efficacy that's why being vaccinated with a complete dose increases your immunity to the virus. And if a casino considers fully vaccinated people to be well protected and lessen the possibility of being infected and becoming the carrier, it's their rules inside their premises and for those vaccinated folks entering the premises, they're privileged.

I guess I missed on focusing that this concept is of the privileges of fully vaccinated customers. Although we cannot ignore the fact that even people who are vaccinated are still subject and susceptible to be infected with the virus but with lesser complicated symptoms. I just hope that when an outbreak occurs inside a casino, the management will take full responsibility of it.

It is a privilege because not everywhere can remove their masks so if you're in a place like Vegas and you're fully vaccinated or in a state where there's the same city rule that fully vaccinated people can freely remove their mask, you're just experiencing the privilege that other places don't have. Yes, you can still be infected if you're fully vaccinated but the chance is very little and you're not going to experience severe symptoms and you can recover eventually and that's why the cases are dropping down due to the vaccines effect.

I don't think that the anti-vaxxers will suddenly rush to take vaccines, if the casinos announce that they don't need to wear the masks. Many of them are refusing to take vaccines for ideological reasons and the measures from casinos may not be enough to convince these people to get vaccinated. One the other hand, IMO, measures such as the "vax a million" lottery recently announced by the state of Ohio will be having more of an impact (there was an uptick in vaccination rates in Ohio, after the governor announced about the lottery).

All coronavirus vaccines are currently experimental drugs with no data on the long-term effects of taking them. In addition, their effectiveness is in question, as well as the lethality of the virus itself. Therefore, I think it is wrong to call people who avoid using these drugs as anti-vaxxers. They make their tough, risky choices, but that doesn't mean they are the real crazy who deny all vaccinations.

[Silberman]

That is one way to see it, it seems I am looking at the glass as half empty while you are looking at it as half full, this could be a measure that could make people to get vaccinated in order to go back to their previous lives, but the issue is that many of those that are not vaccinated also want to go back to that but they will still refuse to take the vaccine so they will either lie about it or maybe even use forgery to create fake documents to make it seem as if they have been vaccinated, something that will be detrimental to the efforts we are all making to reach heard immunity.

I think that being fully vaccinated is not a ground to be allowed to not wear mask anymore, to ease up on protocols. A person is not guaranteed to be fully protected from being infected of Covid virus even if fully vaccinated. In my opinion, casinos and people themselves must abide to any possible layer of protection that there is to really protect not just oneself but also people around us.

And while I share your opinion there is nothing we can do as that is the reality, I think taking the vaccine itself is being used as an incentive, something like if you want to go to your previous carefree life then you need to take the vaccine and you will be allowed to move without a face mask and travel all over the world, and if you do not then you still need to follow the protocols and your ability to travel is going to be restricted.

I agree. If a person does not want to inject a vaccine into his body that has not actually shown results of use and possible results of long-term side effects because it did not come on the market that long ago, it rather speaks to his caution. The actual performance of each individual vaccine will only be known over the course of several years of statistical data collection and it is a risk to use it now.

The thing is that these newly developed vaccines, and I'm referring especially to those which are mRNA based, will finish their experimenting phase in 2023. This is basically a mass experiment on top of our bodies. My doctor wants me vaccinated soon but I'm waiting for my blood tests and covid antibody testing. After that I'll decide what to do.

speaking of vaccines being in an experimental state, in my country there were some rare cases of people who took the two doses of vaccines but were infected with this new variant of covid and are hospitalized in serious condition, I think the reason they have caught the vaccines and being hospitalized in serious condition is because maybe it takes some time for vaccinated people to develop immunity so I think it's dangerous for people to walk around without masks even if they are vaccinated

But it's small cases only, you can't sacrifice everyone because there are people who suffer serious illness because of covid-19, the vaccine may not work for everyone but if it works to at least 99% of people in the world, they'll take it as an effective vaccine against the covid-19.

There is some country that minimizes the restriction, and that includes not wearing a mask anymore even in public places and they were not criticized with that although it maybe true that there are some who got hospitalized even after they got the vaccine.

Our body does have in-built immunity but it would really be depending on how strong or good it is on fighting viruses or bacteria because we know that each person does have different health conditions.

Majority of vaccines are indeed on testing phase but it cant really be avoided that people would rush up on taking a shot because they are really afraid that they would get infected and would die

and seeing on the current number of deaths of this pandemic then you would surely freak out.Even myself wont really be that too confident on not to wear out any protective mask when you are in crowd.

And this is an especially big risk if we are talking about countries where there is no trust in statistics or statements by the authorities

I have been following the vaccination topic on Twitter and have noticed (like many other people) that a lot of people got infected shortly after being vaccinated. Apparently, the very fact of vaccination for a short time greatly lowers immunity and people who were healthy for two years before that fall ill.

Their decision not to get vaccines are mixed, some of them are misinformed, some of them are afraid some of them have phobias on the needle, I have a friend who wants to be vaccinated but have phobias on needle his family have to support him all the way to the vaccination to get vaccinated and there are some people who have a medical condition that cannot get vaccinated because of existing allergies from the ingredients of the vaccines, they are not anti vaccines but the condition they are having.

[madnessteat]

~snip~

I do not have any phobias or contraindications to medicines, but comparing the reports submitted by manufacturing companies and clinical trial documents "CoviVac", "Sputnik V" and "EpiVacCorona" I understand that the harm to my body may be many times greater than the benefits of these vaccines. There are simply no other vaccines available in my country.

[molsewid]

avoiding being exposed to the virus is better than we have to treat if infected, in my country they even seem to feel more afraid of being vaccinated than getting infected with the corona virus , and I don't know the reason why, many countries now require their citizens to vaccinate by adding punishment for residents who refuse the vaccination, in my personal opinion, by vaccinating us it does not mean that we will avoid the virus, so it is better to continue to apply the health protocols even though we have been injected with vaccinations to maintain our health.

That is why it is still advisable to practice proper health protocols even after getting a full dosed of vaccine. Fully vaccinated is not an assurance that you will be virus free or will not going to be infected but what is the good thing about having vaccinated is that your immune system is a lot more better to fight the probable effects of virus in your body than having not vaccinated. But if I were fully vaccinated i'd still going to wear masks not only for my protection but also for the protection of my colleagues in gambling establishments.

But I think you have noticed that for a long time there has been aggressive propaganda against people who, for one reason or another, do not want to be vaccinated. They are shown as the fiends of hell to blame for everything, although vaccination is still a voluntary matter and we must respect the choice of people, no matter what the reasons for this choice may be.

I've been thinking about this, and here's another angle to look from on Vegas casinos allowing fully vaccinated ppl inside without masks.

Scientists say 70% to 85% is needed to be vaccinated to suppress the virus, or, in other words, to reach herd immunity. Only 11.5% of the world population is fully vaccinated so far, and even in the US this number is below 50% currently. There are studies saying that "A significant portion of the U.S. population will likely refuse to get vaccinated.". Which means people should be incentivized to get the COVID-19 vaccine, and in that case Vegas casinos are doing a good job in this field.

That is one way to see it, it seems I am looking at the glass as half empty while you are looking at it as half full, this could be a measure that could make people to get vaccinated in order to go back to their previous lives, but the issue is that many of those that are not vaccinated also want to go back to that but they will still refuse to take the vaccine so they will either lie about it or maybe even use forgery to create fake documents to make it seem as if they have been vaccinated, something that will be detrimental to the efforts we are all making to reach heard immunity.

Yeah, unfortunately that's a possibility. Hopefully there are not many such irresponsible people who would buy a  £25 fake vaccine card and be going to public places afterwards. It's almost like terrorism, no? I would treat it like that, in position of authorities.

In the meantime, as many have stated in this thread, it's better to stay home and play online, especially when such things like with fake documents can happen.

And I personally disagree with that posture, when I have the chance I am getting vaccinated and I understand if the government is encouraging people to get the vaccine but to think badly of those that will not take it is a mistake, they are free to not do so and deal with the consequences of this, after all many countries will not allow you to travel if you do not have the vaccine and they will have to use face masks while those that are vaccinated will not be mandated to do so anymore and once they get the virus they will not have any additional help to combat it unlike those that took the vaccine.

Fully vaccinated individuals can now play normally without any masks in the gambling casinos and at the same time it goes for both indoor and outdoor locations in Nevada. The decision was made on May 3.

The Board’s agents will not attempt to confirm vaccination status of patrons. Consequently, unless circumstances change, it is not practical for the Board to attempt to enforce a mask mandate tethered to an individual’s vaccination status.

As a whole the decision was made on May 13. Some licenses might be more restrictive as compared to the others.

I do feel like there is another reason for you guys to be vaccinated! You can actually experience normal casinos like before pandemic if you do wear the mask and follow the protocols.

It's starting to seem like vaccine passports will soon be a thing in future. Most of Europe seem to be working towards that and if countries are willing to put that measure in place, requiring continued wearing of masks seems like an insignificant extra that will be mandatory. Until more of the worlds population is vaccinated and it is possible to get this rapidly mutating virus under control, it is the most sensible reaction and necessary to protect the weaker elements of society who cannot wear masks or get vaccinated. It is a very small sacrifice and allows some sort of normality, so hopefully people can keep it going for another year or two longer.

Now in Colombia they said on the television news snail that the safest vaccine is that of Pfizer, and people do not want to be vaccinated any more because it does not produce any type of safety or much less immunity, apart from the fact that the Pfizer vaccine published that they must launch a third vaccine to be able to minimize the effects of the new strains, that is, the vaccines are not reliable, the fact that vaccinated people feel totally immune is the greatest of all lies and they are exposed to being given the viruses and kill them, this is how it has happened in Colombia, now if traditional casinos implement that they remove their masks, the infections will be much greater.

This does not imply any kind of security, for now those who are vaccinated need to take much more care of themselves.

The day before yesterday, Macron announced the introduction of QR passports, without which you can hardly get anywhere in France (even hospitals!). This immediately caused a serious public reaction in the form of street demonstrations and clashes with the police. I hope such initiatives will be stifled at the very beginning, I think this is totalitarianism that has nothing to do with caring for the health of citizens.

I also believe that soon, vaccination will be mandatory especially now that lots of people are afraid of its side effects. In the coming days, they would require more people to get vaccinated because it's the only way that they see for us to go back to our normal lives. In our country, even vaccinated citizens aren't allowed to go out without wearing their masks. Physical casinos here are still in the process of recovery and people who have chosen to play safely have switched to online casinos.

There's a report that even a person got a vaccine, He still got infected by the virus and maybe that's the reason why facemask is still mandatory especially for the country that can't afford mass vaccination. I kinda worried having a shot by this vaccine since there's a small chance that you might encounter Side effects that fatal. I'd rather get vaccinated later on when vaccine reach the final stage of development. Playing casino online online is more fun than playing on physical casino nowadays.
