Covid-19: Vax Americana

Yep, I couldn't care less if they choose not to protect themselves. They only strengthen my work-from-home argument. I do feel bad for innocent kids who can't get vaccinated, but hopefully the vaccines will be available to younger and younger people soon.

I hear there are now people going door-to-door to encourage people to get vaccinated. Could you imagine a worse job? I mean the level of stupidity these poor soles must encounter on an average day must be off the charts.

They also risk getting a punch in the face.

 

Yes, that looks interesting.

There have been a number of important advances during the past year, outside of the vaccine formulas. Both in alternative methods of delivery but also in terms of therapeutics.

I notice that report is from 2017, though. Did that not work out or was it thought better to work on the basis of giving people injections where you know the vaccine has been administered in a way that works? IOW it doesn't mean the patient maybe making a mistake in application.

 

I’d give it to you, but my Pfizer chip keeps making me delete it after I write it.

 

There's a construction guy up the street who's got a giant pickup truck loaded with compressors, jackhammers, massive tools, and whatnot. He's got a bumpersticker that reads, "Rudolph Steiner Made The World Think Again."

Ya just never know.

 

In my experience they won't call the cops on a POC, but they'll have other ways of keeping them out. They won't mind a POC if they're delivering mail or Amazon packages.

Though in the town I live in, a white woman did call the cops on a black guy claiming he was staring at her, but the backlash was strong that the cop who stopped him resigned.

 

Why are people vaccine hesitant?

coming soon to a street near you ....

 

The funny thing is, I know a person who taught at a Waldorf school (She calls it the Steiner School but we're splitting hairs). Incredibly sharp, genuinely nice lady, just wonderful. I've never heard any anti-vaccine rants from her.

In my experience, the older generation of progressives (The original hippies and such) are quite reasonable. It's the younger generation, such as those born in the 70s and 80s that tend to be more deluded in some areas.

 

Its still mainly the people on the right. Every poll I've seen show that people that tend to vote republican are about twice as likely to not want the vaccine or don't trust the safety of the vaccine compared to democrats.

Scoreboard
COVID deaths: 3.25 million
Vaccine deaths: 0

 

I'm as pro vaccine as anyone but that post is heartless.

Vaccine deaths are triple digit around the world. Not 0.

 

Belief in conspiracies are practically universal not just in western societies. I'm guessing a direct relationship can be determined between how powerless an individual feels and their proneness to belief in conspiracies.

 

As mentioned, it's the younger generation that has this streak. And it's folks who are into countercultural type activities. I see a bit of this in rock climbing and yoga, for instance. My friend (Yoga instructor) that had Covid last year admitted that until she had Covid, she didn't believe in vaccines.

 

In Minnesota, there was a guy on the co-rec volleyball team I played on: a mechanic who owned his own garage, voted republican about 9 times out of 10, had little patience for woo woo, but who swore by Rudolf Steiner's agricultural ideas ("biodynamics" IIRC), which might involve things like going into his garden at 3:00 a.m. to plant certain crops by the light of the full moon. I thought it was odd, but . . . damn fine tomatoes, carrots and basil, so who am I to judge.

 

there's been 2 deaths in Canada related to the AZ vaccine / blood clots.

 

Some of that is rooted in truth though.

Money buys political influence.
