Vaccine Rollout
-
I'd happily not receive any more government stimulus checks if it pays for this.

$15 - $20 cost per dose
500,000,000 x $16 (low end estimate) = $8,000,000,000
$8,000,000,000 / 141,000,000 US taxpayers
= about $56 each
No, you and I are paying for 4-5 each... Soros and Bezos are pulling their resources for 1 shot...

the black community has a better vaccination rate
Meaning higher?
Yep. New Orleans got their attention, IMO.

Don't know. Got a link?
Over 99% actually. But I hear ivermectin is a miracle drug.

When you got nothing else....Cuz' I got my doubts about Remdesivir...

When somebody would rather take Invermectin or HCQ than get vaccinated, you've got to think there's something amiss....

Agreed. But the two should not be exclusionary.

Agree. And it’s very important for other countries who have much less access to the vaccine.
In the US, however, the vaccine is the clear winner by a country mile.
It’s unnerving to see the anti-vaxxers spread all this nonsense that makes it look like alt medicines are a better path. I also wasted some time this weekend looking at the wild fire spread of magnet nonsense with the vaccine. Worse yet one should watch the HBO documentary on Q Anon and 8 Chan. The people imvolved speak for themselves and one quickly realizes these people are about as uneducated to reality as it gets but somehow have tapped into the reptilian brain of a subset of people…almost schizophrenia…where people see and hear things that are clinically insane.

Agreed on the taxpayer part. But, this is one bill I’m happy to pay.
Exactly. I think this is great what the US is doing. The world is so combined now, that the quicker the total world gets back to normal, the better it is for the US. And somewhat joking (but not really) US total spending Sept 2019 - Sept 2020 was USD$6.55 TRILLION. USD$8B out of that is about 0.1% (if I did my math correct).
The amount of positive economic effects, foreign relation effects, etc. are much more "bang for the buck" than many of the things that the US government does.

This!!!! How can people not realize that the reason the US is able to "open up" is due to the vaccine??

Plenty of those uneducated types where I live:
