Mayor Bill de Blasio just announced that you can now dine indoors in New York City after receiving only one vaccination shot:

In other words, since a vaccinated person immediately after one dose poses the same risk as an unvaccinated person, WTF is the science behind a passport anyway?
Nate Silver says this, “kind of defeat the purpose of a vaccine pass.” You think?
This kind of defeats the purpose of a vaccine pass. De Blasio seems to think it's just a cute incentive for vaccination. But it's *mainly* a strategy to let vaccinated people socialize more safely and for businesses and their staffs to remain open safely.https://t.co/VeFZa1UWEi pic.twitter.com/Lw6qij03Jp

The science isn’t on de Blasio’s side:
Case in point: a Dutch music festival that let you get in the *moment after you were vaccinated* produced a fairly big outbreak. By contrast, Lollapalooza, which required full vaccination, resulted in rather few cases.https://t.co/X3LxfgPgfA pic.twitter.com/Sv5hKWPtut

It’s “a dangerous farce,” even:
Everyone who wrote about & applauded De Blasio's indoor activities vaccine policy should also be talking now about how it's actually now a dangerous farce. https://t.co/Zp6DmNPO8Y pic.twitter.com/zrsJ7k23h1
