Great ad but sadly 30% Americans will find fault with it.

Are a thing anymore. Maybe in hospitals and such, but I haven’t seen one in 20 years, maybe more.

"Get vaccinated!" Great!
I question the other-underlying theme that says get vaccinated and we can open up and all will be normal again.

I question this obsession on this site with seemingly wanting the pandemic to go on forever.....maybe some don't have kids or grand kids or enjoy living an active life or believe science?

Geez....it is over in the US, other parts of the world are not so lucky. For those of us who have been vaccinated, its over. We have been living totally normal lives for 2 months now.

The vaccine is very effective, those who are vaccinated but extremely high risks are free to also wear a mask. But life has returned to normal for anyone who chooses that. Our kids have their friends again, go to their tournaments again, we socialize again.

And as a person with an MS in Microbiology with friends still in the industry, the variants are not going to be a issue. Just 2 days ago a solid study showed the vaccines are 86% effective from serious illness to even the most transmissible of the variants.

Only 20% vaccinated, pretty inept roll out of the vaccine. Watching the French Open is a joke when the poor spectators are still masked and have to leave at the curfew every day.
