“We still have about 60 million people in this country who are eligible to be vaccinated who have not been, and that results in the dynamic of virus in the community that not only is dangerous and makes people who are unvaccinated vulnerable, but it also spills over into the vaccinated people,” Fauci said on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday.
:surprised-pika:
This brings back memories from February:
"As my mother would say, with the grace of God and the goodwill of the neighbors, that by next Christmas I think we'll be in a very different circumstance, God willing, than we are today," Biden said. "A year from now, I think that there'll be significantly fewer people having to be socially distanced, having to wear a mask."
:biden-troll:
No shit Joe, you told everyone to give up on non-pharmaceutical interventions in July so you could have your big wet summer of fun, no one is social distancing or masking up anymore you utterly useless sack of cum
Like half of unvaxxed people in the US have attempted to have at least one shot but have run into scheduling conflicts or couldn’t find childcare/get time off work. It’s not all antivax.
That said, misinformation should have been cracked down on sooner. The recent declaration that nurses can lose their certs for promoting antivax disinfo was badass. Doctors’ associations should do it too. And fuck it, mods should remove it more aggressively on this site too.
The mods certainly try to take down any anti-vax content as soon as it pops up.
There's a huge political incentive to spread misinformation. Weird, how we have created a culture in which individuals reap outsized rewards for advancing a nationally self-destructive public policy.
