13. You too SheltieLover!

Seven months after the first COVID-19 vaccination in Tennessee, only 42.4 percent of the state’s residents have received at least one dose. Only 38

percent are fully jabbed up, according to the state’s latest data. Tennessee’s vaccination rates are among the lowest in the country.

I wish FDA would approve boosters. Israel has, for high risk folks.

2. Well they decided to pray instead of get vaccinated

They could do both, but noooo

15. I have said that Delawareans are like salmon.

We may go out to sea or other parts of the country for years, but we return to the stream we were spawned in. 😁

[SheltieLover]

Great analogy.

We’ll probably be right behind you.

Stay safe!

5. At least our Republican governor is not insane.

[Diamond_Dog]

9. No .... he is somewhat sane.

But I think he’s delusional if he thinks more money giveaways are going to encourage vaccinations among those who have not gotten one by now.

[LisaL]

11. They have been paying a $100 per vaccination at some locations.

It actually got some people to come and get vaccinated.

[Diamond_Dog]

16. Glad to hear it!

We need more, though! We’re still at, what, around 50% here?

[LisaL]

17. Just under 50%.

12. My sister is a Republican

And has told me that Biden “is NOT her President”. (and she’s a church-going Catholic,go figure)

But even she is pro Vax and pro mask and has no patience for people who refuse it.

[SheltieLover]

14. Glad she is pro vax!

Sorry to hear she is a qpuke though.

Stay safe! 😷

20. I remember how proud American Catholics were of JFK. What happened?

The abortion issue has been political from the beginning. When Roe v Wade came down in 1974, and the Pope against abortion, the Republicans coldly decided that that would be the best way to peel the Catholics away from the Democratic Party. The whole issue has been cruelly exploited ever since. I don’t think most people realize this. They think it’s always been a moral issue. When it never has been

[SheltieLover]

23. I recall very well how proud they were of JFK!

Qpukes are just plain toxic.

What DeSantis do to catch up??

[d_r]

30. I dont think

we even do testing anymore unless someone goes to the doctor sick. We used to have drive through testing from the health department but haven't had that in some time.

31. We live in one of the Redist areas in Tennessee .Fifty miles from Tipton Cp.

We have considered leaving but Every state that touches us is just as crazy. We would have to move pretty far North. We are southerners. We have children in Chicago but when I visit there and go into a store every head raises when I speak. That is when you realize how different you are. Many see us as uneducated rednecks.

[SheltieLover]

36. So sorry you experienced that in Chicago

I'm originally from the Chicago burbs. I can't recall ever hearing anyone speak in a Southern accent in the 50+ yrs I lived there. Lots on international accents, though, which always intrigued me. I'd tell people they have a cool accent, ask where they're from & try to learn about their original culture.

Btw, we are practically neighbors!!! I live in Shelby!

Meey up sometime when it's sane?

32. I wonder why?

No cafeteria science for you believers!!! It's all or nothing, baby!

[tanyev]

33. Oh, wow, even the Nashville area?

They’re more blue than the rest of TN, right? Still a lot of right wing nutsos, I guess.

[SheltieLover]

47. I think so.

Cases are way up in Memphis region too. Very blue area, surrounded by red.

[Volaris]

34. Now that doesnt make any sense at all;

,

Clearly, theres some democrat propaganda happening here. EVERYONE knows theres just NO covid in TN at all anywhere,because they all prayed and now they have Jesus Immunity.

[lagomorph777]

38. I have Jesus Immunity.

I am completely immune to Jesus.

[Volaris]

40. Uh huh..that's right heathen, laugh it up.

Enjoy those horrid blasphemies while u still can...as soon as his holy god emperor trump is returned to us, you'll regret the day you embraced all that dirty commie liburl 'comedy' you like so much...

And you know as well as I do, that if they COULD punish us for it, they damn well WOULD, 1st Amendment be dammned.

[lagomorph777]

41. The only good Amendment is the 2nd.

Well, the 2nd half of the 2nd Amendment; first half is to be ignored.

[Volaris]

42. Well well, you might not need to go to the Happy Camp, after all!

[lagomorph777]

44. Good, because I am not a Happy Camper.

[Volaris]

45. That will be evaluated during your processing lol.

[lagomorph777]

37. Yay, Tennessee! And bonus points for screwing the kids!
