saw this earlier. there really is no stranger fiction than reality. and this isn't even the first time a popular show (or movie) has made an endorsement of vaccination, either! Star Wars did, as well as Lambchop, and many others (and of course Sesame Street has in the past as well)

There is vaccination in Star Wars?

I was thinking I didn't remember it in the movies, wasn't thinking about a PSA.

You'd have thought AVG or Malware Bytes or something would be more appropriate in their case.

What are Virginia’s covid death numbers? Didn’t look like republican deaths affected voting outcome. But let’s see red states in 2022

If you think fewer voters in rural counties/redder states actually matters to Republican electoral prospects—then you haven’t been paying attention.

 

[vi edit]

It might matter in statewide things like in Georgia, Florida and rust belt where Senate/Governor seats and even presidential elections can come down to a 10,000 votes.

I am sure Voter Suppression efforts will more than cover COVID losses.

So my antivax sister was bitching about having to quarantine for 20 days because her son that lives with her and her daughter who visits daily had covid. She was complaining how she and her daughter weren't going to have x-mas money because of the work they missed. Had they been vaxxed with no symptoms they wouldn't need to quarantine according to the CDC. Sometimes actions based on lies have consequences.

They do have an options and it's to ignore the quarantine which is what many people are doing this days.

You are really a piece of work, aren't you? Ignore a quarantine during a pandemic, great idea.

I highly encourage all current and future Republican voters to skip the vaccines and stand for freedom. I'd also support them not wearing seatbelts to protect their own personal liberties. Etc, etc.

Republican self-disenfranchisement. That's how we Make America Great Again.

I support repubs not wearing seat belts, or motorcycle helmets. Until we have this pandemic under control, I don't support them incidentally killing others because they're afraid of a vaccine.

Never forget this is the guy who said he wasn't getting vaccinated because he was totally self-centered, self-absorbed and only cared about himself, and who got himself a fake vaccination card. 'nuff said.

If we "like" the post, does it mean we're pro-zombies?

Way to insert yourself there sport . I am alluding that ucla knows his way around a medicine cabinet. The rest should follow.

All the experts agree, this isn't something tjats "going away", much like the flu. We as a society will build up various levels of immunity, but probably require annual shots (unlikely to be a different version unlike the flu shot due to slower rates of mutation) but it will be something that's just in the background.

We're not going to turn into walking dead but there will be flare-ups, especially in unprotected or otherwise vulnerable populations or groups.

We missed our chance at containment, that ship sailed a while ago. Will we get a more virulent strain? Hard to see how it can much worse than delta, which isn't as bad as measles or chicken pox but it's up there. Will it become more deadly? Possible, SARS and MERS were way, way worse (MERS has a case fatality rate of something like 30%, maybe higher).

If we get a strain that spreads like delta but kills like MERS, the population decimation will make the bubonic plague in the 1600s look pedestrian.

Get your fucking shots and mask up. Damn.

Most American are not wearing a mask, that train left the station long time ago.

I'm not so sure about that - I think if COVID were deadlier it would both scare more people into compliance and it would burn out much faster.

Speaking of trains leaving the station in NYC mask compliance is well over 90% on the subways in my experience. So here mask wearing is by far the norm.

Keep in mind that this anti-vaxxer piece of shit got scared shitless due to Delta and got the jab. He serves no purpose to society other than an example of a piece of shit.

I would expect no difference from NYC

I have also taken a pledge to never get another booster. Soon my protection will be under 50% and that is fine with me.
