    Good thing we all actually care about our families, communities, and country so we all got vaccinated and boosted… Right???

    Doesn’t matter because we didn’t reach herd immunity. I bet COVID is running rampant in red states but they are refusing to report them to the CDC. Not like the CDC is tracking infectious dangers in America any more. So we’re fucked going both ways.

      Unfortunately, Bobby Brainworm and this completely unserious so-called “administration” is also doing what they can to disrupt access to the vaccines, even for the people that are not fucking crazy and/or antisocial assholes.

      With him rumored to ban them outright.

      Oh yeah it is. Walgreens has covid test sets right next to the pharmacy counter and I have to restock it all the time. Yet not single one of these assholes wears a mask.

      The big misunderstanding with the vaccines is that they prevent or reduce significance of the disease Covid-19. What was, very intentionally, taken for granted was that preventing the disease would thus prevent the transmission of the pathogen SARS‑CoV‑2 and thus stop the Covid-19 epidemic.

      That is not the case and it was known back in 2022. Herd immunity was never possible with it.

      With that said, COVID-19 is an incredibly versatile disease that can affect every organ in your body including your brain, immune system, heart etc. Getting the vaccine and avoiding getting sick is critical to your long term health and while it doesn’t stop transmission it can slow it. Especially when combined with other tools, like masks, quarantining, etc.
