It appears Tom King may have let slip the less-than-shocking news that James Gunn will be directing Superman: Legacy:

I think it was hinted at in the press conference with Gunn & Safran that they hoped Gunn would be able to direct, but that wasn't final.
David F. Sandberg won't be at the Shazam premiere due to catching COVID. I wonder who could have given it to him...
At this point... anyone. Even Democratic Governors have given up on masks.David F. Sandberg won't be at the Shazam premiere due to catching COVID. I wonder who could have given it to him...
Well one of the two people in that photo is a COVID denying anti-vaxxer so I know who my money's on.

The only risk at not being vaccinated is that you can get possible more sick. You are not more contagious if you are not vaccinated.
It's interesting how people get confused about that.
Yes, the entire concept of vaccination was to make people a lot less sick. So, less death and also a lot less of a strain on the healthcare system.
I agree
Which is why vaccines work together with masking and social distancing, rather than being a replacement for them. Like seatbelts and airbags, or parachutes and crash helmets.
Still, if you're vaccinated, you're less likely to get sick in the first place, and thus less likely to transmit. Also, someone who doesn't believe in vaccination would also not believe in masking or distancing and would thus be more likely to infect others through reckless behavior.
I could be wrong but I thought you don't have to be sick to transmit the virus. My wife "gave" my son the virus but she wasn't sick.
You can be asymptomatic, but you are a carrier. Vaccination plus masks plus distancing together reduce, not eliminate, the risk.
Which is why I said "likely," not "possible." Like most things in life, it's about probability, not a simple yes-no choice. The likelihood of infection is proportional to the viral load in your body. If you're vaccinated, your viral load is likely to be lower if you do get infected, since your immune system is fighting back against the virus and it won't be able to reproduce as freely. Thus, you get less sick and are less likely to make others sick. That doesn't mean it will never happen, just that it will happen in fewer cases.
As with most forms of risk abatement, it's about reducing the degree of the risk, not eliminating it completely. You can wear a seatbelt and still be killed in a car crash, but it will happen to fewer seatbelt wearers than non-wearers.
Plus, of course, if you're sick, you're going to be coughing and sneezing, which are a large part of the way viruses transmit themselves. That's why they evolved to trigger that kind of immune response in the body, because it helps them spread. Which, again, is why it makes sense to wear a mask in public. In Asian countries, people with colds or other respiratory infections routinely wear masks out of simple courtesy to others. It's bizarre that Westerners don't.
Flawed and unhelpful analogy is flawed and unhelpful.
That your analogy is flawed and unhelpful? Yes. I do agree.
