Long-Haul COVID

Some good news, vaccination rates are up in NoVaxx land.

Half a million shots were given just on Friday, the highest daily tally since July 1, deputy White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said at a briefing Friday. This was also the third week that states with the highest numbers of coronavirus cases also had the highest vaccination numbers, she said.

Vaccine-hesitant pockets of the country turned hot spots, including Louisiana, experienced a 114 percent increase in uptake, according to the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Arkansas recorded a 96 percent increase, Alabama, 65 percent, and Missouri, 49 percent.

Perhaps President will get a WIN out of the vaccination race after all. Sad truth is a lot of them will get vaccinated incognito and we would never know the overall immunity level.

Do you think those poor simps in Arkansas, Alabama, and Missouri hear the bus coming?

21,000 cases today in Florida...some of those poor souls will not make it...
they could have easily gotten the vaccine.

Just a walk into a drugstore. Here in California Albertson's has the vaccine.

In America it is free.

Of course having a governor who constantly downplays the virus doesn't help.

S'plain this;
Vaccine=personal choice, my body. Demonstrable public interest with easily transmissible virus.

Planned Parenthood bad.
Personal decisions on family planning federally prohibited. No demonstrable public interest.

Whoever said that things get worse before they better said no truer words ans we are witnessing. Fortunately for those of us who have been vaccinated, hoping we survive this next GQP induced Covid-19 onslaught.

On the bright side though, this will persuade private business businesses, especially those in travel and entertainment to mandate or demand vaccinations in their ecosystems.
