Herd immunity is apparently no longer a thing.
The Spanish Flu went away once about 70 percent of the population was exposed/got antibodies. We're FAR beyond that point now, otherwise these packed NFL and college football stadiums would result in tens of thousands of deaths, and they're not.
At this point, Covid is a total money grab. "They" are going to mandate 100 percent vaccine compliance, and boosters every 6 or 12 weeks, from here on out. At $16 per shot to pharmas, you can see who is in charge here.
This I agree with. The money grab by big pharma along with the irrational fear by a loud minority is what’s pushing the remnants of covid hysteria. The vaccine is highly effective (something like 99.99%+ in preventing serious hospitalizations or deaths) and is widely available free of charge to whoever wants it.
Fortunately, and I think the recent elections show this, Americans are starting to have enough with the covid fear peddling, restrictions, mandates , etc and are voting in a way that reflects that. Red states are already back to normal and blue states are getting back slowly (and dragging their metaphorical feet). What we need is a huge “red wave” in the midterms to really serve as a wake up call and to break the rest of America (especially at the federal level) out of this Covid fear haze
Yep, completely obvious 2022/2024 wedge issue. Let Brandon and all the idiots hang themselves. Talk about political suicide.
My thought is they'll let off the gas with the mandates, as we near 2022 elections and they can see the impending buzzsaw of Dems taking a huge L.
