Vaccine Rollout
-
New cases are down 39% from 30 days ago and deaths are down 68% from days ago. There are still between 1.7 million to 2.4 million people each day getting their vax. So sorry it doesn't match your or Mr. Brooks expectations.

We have an extended family member who wouldn’t get vaccinated, think young. We all told that person, that’s fine but don’t come around. That fixed it.
Wouldn't it just be easier to chase them down on the street and shoot them?
It's a two-fer. You put everybody out of their misery at once.
Just an old fashioned shunning would suffice.

I'm not going to shun them. Most people won't. Besides, who do you know who to shun?
Maybe we could make them wear a Scarlet "V" or maybe a yellow armband of some kind.
Visuals are cool...
Anti-vaxxers in London have been wearing the Star of David, so they're way ahead of you in claiming victim status. Assholes.

Developing countries will often have primitive belief systems. Once western education and cultural norms are in place, you'll see that those cultures will slowly begin to resemble first world cultures. But for the purposes of this discussion, I think we should be focusing on current first world cultures.

Well then you go right ahead and chase them down the street and shoot them. I don't think it is necessary and you'll get yourself into a heap of trouble.
I would just give family members, friends, acquaintances and strangers who come out as anti-vax or Covid conspiracy subscribers the cold shoulder. It suffices, they get the message and stay away.

If you are okay in the future with periodic lockdowns, temporary closing of businesses, less than full capacity at those businesses which are open, remote schooling for the kids, travel restrictions, etc. dont get vaccinated.
If the above bothers you, please get vaccinated.

Nope, not gonna happen.
Economies simply can't take many more protracted lockdowns, so you're going to have to deal with the virus. Besides, the vaccine does not give you immunity. You can - and many will - catch COVID after being vaccinated.
Remote schooling has been a disaster and kids don't carry the virus that well, anyway.
Would you shut the world's economy down for the common cold virus? The two viruses are related, you know.
I think with vaccination...BTW, if you really want to have some fun, herd Americans up and mandate vaccinations at the end of a bayonet, which is what it would take in the short term...Anyway, with vaccination, I think you can keep the virus down to a manageable level. Unless something radically changes, I don't think we will eradicate it.
For that, we can thank all of our Chinese friends down at the lab who weaponized this and then let it out the door...

Oh, that's coming no matter what. SARS 2002, H5N1 (Bird Flu) 2005, H1N1 2009, MERS 2012, 2014-2016 Ebola... Every couple of years a bug breaks through and causes a major scare. The next time a new virus breaks out (and it will, a virus has to virus, it's what they do), expect to see shutdowns and all the rest... Your COVID Vax is not going to stop that from happening. In November of 2022 somebody will sneeze and have a fever in Estonia, the doctors won't be able to nail down the virus, and off we go...

And THAT is where your vaccine-resistant strain will come from.
The antibiotic-resistant bacteria didn't develop from people not taking antibiotics...

And this tendency to refer to people as Anti-Vax is inaccurate and hurting your cause. Most people I know aren't 100% either way. Most that are waiting are simply waiting. They want to see how it goes. I know of more than one person planning on going in July, they just wanted to give it 6 months to see if there were any obvious health risks that appeared.
By the way, regarding the switch to PCP's and regular healthcare providers for the vaccine? https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp2106137

There are only a couple of groups who won’t take the vaccine so I am not buying the watch and wait. It’s mostly political, sorry , but the data shows it.

Told this before...One of the better infernal med docs I knew, bemoaned the fact that residents no longer made housecalls. His assertion was that he learned an awful lot about how to treat patients, just by entering their homes and seeing how they lived.
Doesn't matter if the patient says they don't smoke, when the living room smells like the Marlboro factory...

US counties with the lowest vaccination rates have one curious thing in common (take a guess):

This is because Joe Biden and his criminal friends have denied the vaccine to Trump voters.
The vaccine delivery routes have been gerrymandered to exclude republicans and people who love the United States.
The joke is on the democrats, the vaccine will soon begin to turn them all into Chinese communists. In fact this has already begun.
