Why so much skepticism? Think about all of the negative things you’ve heard about the vaccines:

– They aren’t 100% effective.
– Vaccinated people may be contagious.
– The virus variants may make everything worse.
– Don’t change your behavior even if you get a shot.

The messaging by our terrible, compromised media has been appallingly bad, and the anti-vax nutters have not helped either. The reality is that all the vaccines available in the US are remarkably effective and safe. Everyone should get one as soon as possible. If not, there should be no public life for you.

Pfizer vaccine estimated 89.5% effective at preventing coronavirus INFECTIONS, whether symptomatic or not, according to new pre-print study conducted by Pfizer and Israel's Health Ministry. This would point to a huge cut in transmission. pic.twitter.com/o2yMJjccDE

Remember that “expert” a few months ago who said this was impossible, that no vaccine did this? Ha.

There will be no spring/summer Covid resurgence, variants or not.

Yeah, all these doom-saying predictions about the variants are going to prove to be wrong for this (and other) reasons. There won’t be another enormous Covid wave.

Remember that when the lockdown lifers are advocating for eternal lockdown that there will always be some new variant, or some new pandemic even, just around the corner. This will never not be the case. In their way of viewing the world, it is filled with constant peril and getting worse, so we must be ever-fearful and hide inside just in case.

I am worried that they’ll win and we’ll treat completely from the social. They certainly seem strong now, and from them we might get a Surrogates world. Resist this now or it’ll be too late.
