Forget Mask Mandates. Vaccines Are the Only Answer for Fighting Covid-19.

Someone in a major publication saying something real instead of blue state scoldy people shit. Good to see.

We know what works in our battle against Covid: vaccines. We tried lockdowns, we tried mask mandates, but numbers only started to drop to endemic levels in some areas when vaccination became mainstream. Our society incentivized vaccination as a condition of a return to normalcy, and millions of Americans signed onto this social contract. We need increased vaccination rates in order to keep Covid at bay, and reneging on the agreement to return to normalcy with the ready availability and acceptance of vaccination would have the opposite effect.

This is exactly right. What’s the point of vaccination if nothing changes? It means millions and millions will not get a jab. Of course, the lockdown lifers would love this but as for the rest of us whose brains haven’t been eaten by worms this is a terrible outcome.
