The theme parks should not be open yet. They are going to be the cause of the 4th wave in California. As a concerned citizen, it is going to be detrimental to the health and well being of everyone in the state with these parks being open. The vaccine is not guaranteed to do anything, it may or may not lessen or worsen the symptoms of Covid-19. The vaccine companies are released of any and all liability of their product. So if you suffer adverse effects your are pretty much out of luck and the companies are pretty much, oh well that sucks. It is a joke. You can very much still contract and transmit Covid-19 with being fully vaccinated. It is medically negligent for these theme parks to be open right now. I used to be an avid theme park goer and I am highly disappointed in the disregard to human life these theme parks have. If they cared at all about their employees and their park goers they would not be open yet. However they do not care, all they care about is being open again and making money. None of them are really enforcing the social distancing regulations, none of them are really enforcing the mask regulations.
Excuse me how would you know they don’t enforce distancing and safety if you haven’t gone? I have, I went for the food festival, and it was VERY safe. If you don’t feel comfortable going that’s fine, that’s your choice, but it’s open because it’s safe to do so, regardless of your anxieties about it
