It didn't have to be that way.

4. This is very compelling evidence that the vaccine reduces the chance of severe illness.

Fascinating. RIP.

5. Let's hope his family

heeds his words of warning.

It's the least they could do to honor his memory.

6. One hopes

That those on the right who survive COVID realize that their choice in media (“news”) had lied to them and lies to them about everything else. But one also hopes the Jets learn to play football. Neither one is likely

7. How many of the have to die before the rest finally get it?

Serious question. How much carnage is too much for these nuts?

8. I said something the other day about people not getting vaccinated as being stupid.

My friend raised his hand and said I was insulting him because he had not gotten vaccinated. I left the room. I'm not about to apologize for telling the truth. Getting vaccinated was not even a question with me. I got stuck as soon as possible. By that time nearly a million people had been stuck so I wasn't worried about side effects.

9. K&R, and just wanted to add this passage...

Bobby’s troubled by misinformation spread about the vaccine. The other day, he said, someone came into the shop saying she was sorry Billy died. She then told Bobby her girlfriend’s boyfriend said the vaccines have tracking devices.

Bobby said he told the woman to leave and did not mince words.

“It’s people like you, repeating stupid (crap) from stupid people that keeps people from getting vaccines,” Bobby said he told her. “And she probably tells 20 people a day the same (stuff).”
