Vaccine reluctance.

Trump and Melania got their vaccine, but hide it from the public. Why? Odd don't you think.

"While the numbers have been improving among some demographic groups, skepticism has stayed stubbornly high among one big cohort: Republicans. As of Monday, 42 percent of Republicans said they did not intend to get vaccinated, according to polling by Civiqs. Only 28 percent said they planned to. These numbers have grown slightly worse since the polling began in November.

By contrast, only 6 percent of Democrats said they would not get vaccinated, versus 66 percent who said they would. Among independents, 43 percent planned to get vaccinated; 30 percent didn’t. Breaking it down by race, 56 percent of African-Americans and 57 percent of Hispanic and Latino respondents said they planned to get their shots, compared with only 44 percent of whites."

Long Covid-19 is a good reason to stay safe till most are vaccinated. Mask up folks. This too shall pass.

The proof my friends is in the pudding. Our second vaccine is tomorrow and according to many the second has more negatives for a few days. We'll put up with that to be safe and so America can return to normal. Many friends and family have already had both shots, one brother has had the J&J single shot. Science isn't always right but it is a better guide than online conspiracy and fake news. Hopefully you all stay safe.

An example of fake news:

"In short, the FunVax rumor originated largely with a filmmaker who sought to create a documentary of the same name about the “FunVax conspiracy.” The only evidence supporting the rumor is a YouTube video of questionable veracity and an unsourced document that purportedly describes the project. The entire concept of FunVax (which was supposedly already secretly developed, produced, and tested on unwitting Americans) hinged on a “God gene” theory that has yet to pass peer review or yield any known applications. Furthermore, this unproven gene theory supposedly inspired a wide-scale vaccination program involving technologies heretofore unseen in all other areas of working medical science. None of these related technologies (including vastly simplified and effective dispensation of vaccines) has ever been applied or even piloted in any areas of science or medicine before, and are so covert they are virtually unknown in documented pharmaceutical technology. Taken alone, these objections would cast the rumor into the territory of science fiction; all together, it’s pretty clear the claim is impossible on many levels."

My wife and I have had second Pfizer shot. Slight reaction but not much, seems to depend on individual but overall including friends and our large extended family, no real issues and others have had Moderna and Johnson vaccines. So all is good and hopefully this is a one time vaccine like polio. I'm not big on vaccines today. The live Shingles caused several issues for instance. In the military they shot you with all sort of vacs with guns yet. The vets will remember that. And guess what, back then no one said no. Today Americans seem to have gotten dumber and more easily led! Why is that?
