SHOT:

““After all this time, the president still does not have a plan,” Biden said. “Well, I do. If I’m your president, on Day 1, we’ll implement the national strategy I’ve been laying out since March.””

‘No miracle is coming’: In acceptance speech, Biden rips Trump for Covid-19 mismanagement

“The president keeps telling us the virus is going to disappear,” Biden said. “He keeps waiting for a miracle. I have news for him: No miracle is coming.”

CHASER:

“Covid-19 has proven to be an enduring threat even in some of the most vaccinated places, many of which are confronting outbreaks again now, as the world prepares to live with and manage the disease for the long term. In Europe, parts of Austria, Germany and the Netherlands have imposed new restrictions in recent days after Covid-19 cases rose and hospitals came under strain.”

U.S. Covid-19 Deaths in 2021 Surpass 2020’s

The pandemic continues to exact a huge toll, with the Delta variant and low vaccination rates important factors in the higher count. The milestone comes as cases and hospitalizations move higher again in places such as New England and the upper Midwest.

Nobody has said the vaccine is 100% effective, Mr. Strawman.

Shit, i'd be happy if it was actually a "vaccine" ?

But we’re not talking about that are we?

Some folks are:

The PCR tests are literally not scientific, says the guy who invented the PCR test. Oh and he was a Nobel laureate in chemistry. Oh and he knew Fauci personally and called Fauci a liar and a fraud. Oh and he died in 2019 about four months before we know from email records that workers in a Wuhan virology biolab complained of health symptoms.

Some folks are:

That was also irrelevant, although Fauci absolutely is a liar. Stop derailing the thread.

We're at the point where certain government officials (usually Democrats) are using COVID-19 "risk mitigations" as a lever to pressure people into getting the vaccine - both from a policy and a peer pressure standpoint.

Also lost in the shuffle - masks only work when combined with other NPIs, the most significant being stay at home except for essential stops orders, and even then only certain types of masks.

Gov DeSantis (R, FL) has taken a lot of heat lately, but I applaud his efforts to pursue policy and encourage legislation that prevents discrimination of people based on vaccination status.

Masks only work when you stay home. Translation: masking is and always has been pointless theater

So, this is good...right?

Masks only work when you stay home.

Actually, the main place of transmission has proven to be where people don’t wear masks (home) showing that they work.

I’d like to think you’re better than that.

I’d like to think you’re better than that.

It’s settled science that they work, and pretty obvious when you think about where the majority of transmission occurs (when people are unmasked and in close contact inside).

See the Swiss cheese model for reference.

90% of car accidents occur within a mile of home, which shows both that homes cause car accidents and that masks prevent them.

I’m old enough to remember when it was “settled science” that you only needed two shots of the vaccine.
