As political this already is, the left has no end game. Don’t see how they’re looked upon highly.

Over a year before the 2022 elections, so they might get away with this quietly fading into the background.

But the Dems and their media are hammering - HARD - that this is all anti-science MAGA voters.  Reality is there are A LOT of minorities and young liberals that aren't getting vaccinated.  Gotta manufacture the narrative that, if you fail, it's because of those dumb Trump fans!

The evangelicals are far and away the largest no-vacciners. But you're right that there are others, and as usual it's not the simple good-versus-evil that the polititard class always wants it to be.

Folks aren't sufficiently terrified, it's time to release the lambda variant...

I initially read this as the La Bamba variant and got excited for a moment. Too bad...

The variants will keep coming into perpetuity.  We need to be able to move on with our lives.

I've heard a lot by the Democratic party about how Covid has disproportionately affected the black community, yet surveys show only 36% of blacks have gotten vaccinated. What kind of bullshit is that - that the black community is somehow compromised here?

I, too, was shocked to learn Trump has so many black supporters.

According to Biden, this is due to the “Tuskegee Airmen.”

I've heard that. Biden bumbling aside, I know the syphilis study is one of the excuses given for this. If someone doesn't trust "the medical system" because of this, that's their perogative. Of course that is hard to reconcile with the fact that "the medical system" has administered the shots to tens of tens of millions of non-black members of society. Seems to be a fairly stupid strategy for secretly poisoning black people by "the medical system".  


If most black people don't want the vaccine, that's their business. But I won't listen to one more word of bullshit about how Covid has disproportionately affected their community. Race-baiting crap.

Yep, everyone of them will be OK once they understand that they don't matter.

Not a whole lot… I still don’t understand why people vaccinated are being tested with no symptoms. Wtf.

The amount of testing is absurd. If you don’t have real symptoms (especially vaccinated), then you shouldn’t get tested.

Given that the vaccines seem to protect just as well against serious illness with Delta, I'd probably agree with you.  It's important for people to know that they might(?) spread this if they are around vulnerable unvaccinated.  Doesn't really seem like that tough of a concept to communicate, but gubmit....

But the at-risk elderly that may need a booster...if breakthru infections continue to increase, I'd consider a test before seeing my parents Thanksgiving.  Right now, no, but I'll see what the data says in 4 months.

Very anti-poor of you. 

Unrelated. For as much as people obsess over Covid, why is it so hard to find a rapid test for free? Tons of PCR but you wait 2 days.

I don't know, but 409 died this week.
