Meanwhile, only a million or so Americans have died. Party on Garth! How life works, indeed. I find this take interesting. On the one hand we have Trump dealing with a crisis, working with private industry/government to develop a solution to an evolving problem. We have most states completely unprepared to deal with this particular type of problem, though it was predictable long before it commenced. Trump brings together the public/private sector, eliminates the roadblocks and hurdles that are in the way, routinely holds press conferences to update citizens and knock down confusion, and ultimately delivers the vaccines we had been told just a few months earlier would likely save the world. On the other hand, social-justice minded democrats are routinely found violating the protocols they’ve established, encouraging (or refusing to discourage) mass gatherings that contribute directly to the virus spreading like wildfire, and said gatherings often resulting in the virus returning to what were declared to be high risk neighborhoods. Ultimately, Kamala Harris spreads vax misinformation, leading to even more confusion amongst people at greatest risk, and shortly after taking office, Biden boots COVID management from his desk back to the states. Meanwhile, the “VAX VAX BOOST to save your fellow man!” mantra gets reimagined and the narrative changes to focusing on people who have received at least one shot. Finally, we see an increase in year over year COVID death counts on a Biden watch in spite of him walking in after virtually all of the solutions were addressed. Give me the crazy bankrupt guy who solves problems over the career bureaucrat who knows the best thing to do is make it someone else’s problem.

Get a book on medical statistics and come back with a cogent argument I’m honestly sorry you’re not feeling well. But somehow you’ve convinced yourself that you caught Covid at church, and that you must’ve caught it from an unvaccinated person? How you know either of those to be true is beyond me. You apparently found your own personal Patient Zero. I hope you feel better. Seriously

You apparently found your own personal Patient Zero. I hope you feel better. Seriously I think it's very likely, I got it at church. Could have been elsewhere. Could have been from a vaxed individual. Doesn't change the fact that early adoption of universal vaccination would have made the event less likely. kapisch? Edited January 20, 2023 by redtail hawk

Doc Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 40 minutes ago, redtail hawk said: OR (more likely) the anti vax holdouts have enabled the virus to become indigenous and now, even with vaccination on a massive scale, we're all still at risk and some of those people still die. (esp the old and infirm). Many vax holdouts were blacks, thanks in large part to what Kamala Harris and others said about not trusting the vaccine (because they knew it was coming out soon and if it came out before the election, like it should have, would have ensured Trump won). 34 minutes ago, redtail hawk said: It's a worldwide pandemic by definition. The time to eradicate it (like polio was til dummies stopped getting vaxed) was early. But by all means wring your hands and say further mitigation attempts are worthless and ignore people who have spent their lives studying infectious diseases and spec virology. "do your own research". Eradicate it? LOL! With 16 billion doses given to everyone right at the start? Even now it's a pipe dream.

Here's an anecdote. During the height of the pandemic in 2020 I was still traveling and doing demos at universities and corporations that allowed it. As you'd expect during 2020 the hoops I needed to jump through were extensive. I visited researchers in a variety of fields...immunologists, molecular biologists, virologists etc. All of them masked and 6 ft when I arrived and through the whole demo. One researcher however who is at a prestigious university in the southeast and also department chair in infectious disease, greeted me without a mask and offered that I take mine off if I wanted. He must be MAGA. Edited January 20, 2023 by BillsFanNC
