Vaccines work
The earth is round, and Trump lost the 2020 election. I just threw those last two in.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says 97% of Americans have some immunity to the COVID virus, based on vaccinations. So while COVID cases are rising (again, and right here as schools are revving back up), the danger of being infected by the virus is not what it once was.
That’s not to say we’re to ignore precautions or — if we catch the virus — that we can circulate out in the world if it was just a cold. COVID is not a cold. It can be something far worse, and a new, much-mutated variant has caught the eye of epidemiologists. But COVID is part of our lives now, and we are slowly seeing the tide turning.
That the virus is still with us is not great news, but that we are adapting to it is good news. For people who’ve held out and refused to be vaccinated, you are a big part of why we are still talking about this and I have nothing to say to you but WTF is wrong with you?
People who took the time to get vaccinated are to be thanked for their part in changing the course of this pandemic. Bless them, and I mean it.
Meanwhile my friend E. is commenting on my fb that he follows the science, and if vaccines were "real" you wouldn't need to take boosters, and....
Yet the “ louds” continue disrupting BOE’s with their anti-vax ranting, hell we even have 2 vax attackers running for Prez, RFK and that V guy! On a side note Medicare is now negotiating to get drug prices down. As Professor Richardson points out today this is happening even though not ONE Trumpublican supported the legislation enabling price sanity. Wondering if seniors still embedded in the cult will ever get it?!?
