Of the vaccine’s capabilities and an especially good to illustrate the effect of the delta variant on breakthrough cases.

and if they don't, they might want to because it's got some pretty nasty side effects.

People killed themselves with aquarium cleaner, too.

People are frightened enough to do this insane shit, but scared of a vaccine that millions have taken with few serious adverse reactions?

I will never understand people who will consult anyone but doctors about their health.

Their way of thinking is so foreign to me.

I'll never be able to understand how a person can possibly come to the conclusion that vaccines are dangerous "because we don't know what's in them" but bleach and sheep dewormer are magical cures. If scientists tried to explain to them what's in vaccines, it'd only result in blank stares.

The newest symbol of the decline of human civilization is now the anti-vaxxer protesting in front of a hospital.

Re last sentence, treasonous bastard’s post on stupidity (five general observations) gave me some ideas about how this happens.

Then when you have the disinformation feeding into it...

Science has done an amazing job for us, and it is very hard to see so much of the population disregard it, to the very severe consequence of not just death, but a miserable, lonely death.
