DELTA deals red states a REAL wake up....hope the talking heads of those states SEE the reality of the risk.

How should this get solved? Mandatory vaccinations? Reimpose lockdowns and bring back masks?

Education about the benefits of vaccines? Stop the spread of disinformation about masks and the vaccine?

Something has to happen, Fred, because we're headed for another wave unless the vaccine is implemented further. Every state has a surge of infections. Why do you suppose that is happening?

FYI...even if u are vac. they r suggesting masks should be worn.....the surge of the July holiday. NOW,
just think,what will Labor day and back to school bring?

In a normal year only about 45-55% of Americans get the flu vaccine. In the US, we are close to 70%, even though these vaccines have been rushed through testing and are still labeled "experimental". So can America truly be called vaccine hesitant?

Guillen-Barre showing up in a very small percentage of Johnson and Johnson vaccine users. This has happened with other vaccines in the past. I know one man in South Park who was paralyzed from the neck down. Fortunately he was able to get back on his feet thanks to physical rehab.

The original misinformation came from Fauci when he said the masks wouldn't do any good and the media (and Fauci) who said there was no way we would get a vaccine by the end of 2020. Information changes constantly and the public is getting tired of the bullshit. Reminds me of all the climate predictions that we were supposed to accept as gospel yet continue to changte.

Have you read the stats on the virus spreading in schools? I think you will be surprised.

In the end, the virus doesn't care what your political leanings are and science does change as new discoveries and information becomes available.

Mask-wearing has helped in unintended ways.

A study released this month in the Journal of Hospital Medicine, led by researchers from Vanderbilt University Medical Center, found that across 44 children's hospitals, the number of pediatric patients hospitalized for respiratory illnesses is down 62%. Deaths have dropped dramatically too, compared with the last 10 years: The number of flu deaths among children is usually between 100 and 200 per year, but so far only one child has died from the disease in the U.S. during the 2020-2021 flu season.

Adults aren't getting sick either. U.S. flu deaths this season will be measured in the hundreds instead of thousands.

bolded....couple of things u r neglecting...the PROPER MASK,not just some piece of cloth sewn from a pattern. recommended medical masks that are specific in nature and quality. the vaccine is STILL
NOT FDA APPROVED......emer use only status....so WHERE is the misinformation? BEING SPECIFIC
IS REQUIRED.
