talkpoliticsPresident Biden failed to meet his (ambitious) goal of getting 70% of the American people vaccinated against covid-19 by July 4, but a surge of interest in the vaccine this week is bringing his country closer to that 70%.
"On a single day this past week, more than half a million people across the United States trickled into high school gymnasiums, pharmacies and buses converted into mobile clinics. Then they pushed up their sleeves and got their coronavirus vaccines. These are the Americans who are being vaccinated at this moment in the pandemic: the reluctant, the anxious, the procrastinating."
They Waited, They Worried, They Stalled. This Week, They Got the Shot.

I'm sorry that so many people in America have such high distrust of their government thanks to right-wing propaganda and Trump mouthpieces who do not seem to understand basic science, the purpose of mass vaccination, or the duties of citizenship, and need their mothers, friends, employers, and public schools to cajole and force them to get their shots.
Better late than never, but honestly, pathetic. What a spoiled lot people have become. People in many countries are begging for these vaccines and lining up for hours in the hot sun. I guess we can keep cutting off our noses and complaining we can't breathe, but how about some common sense instead of wilful stupidity for a change?
People are being bombarded with so much information and misinformation by a multitude of different sources and have been fed so many lies by conservative pundits, it's no wonder that these poor folks in the US South and Midwest are now realising they've been duped. I pray for my fellow human beings in America to just PLEASE GET VACCINATED, for you, your family, your friends, and your country.

Date: 26/7/21 10:00 (UTC)I've meant to ask in previous post but could someone please share a link to a video of one of these evil white supremacist nazi conservatives advising people not to get vaccinated?

Same goes for Brian Kilmeade who apparently thinks a third shot isn't necessary if the first two worked:

Date: 26/7/21 17:54 (UTC)Sounds to me like he's making an observation, and asking a question.
It's ironic that the 'party of science' and people that 'believe in science!' don't like these 2 things (I can point out later why this is ironic if anyone needs me to, but I hope it isn't necessary)

Date: 26/7/21 18:55 (UTC)Like when Trump asked if Covid wasn't a Chinese hoax, and then added, "who knows". I'm sure he was just making an observation.
And I may or may not be Dizzy Gillespie. Or am I? I mean, just look how goggled my eyes are. Of course this is just an observation.

Date: 26/7/21 19:12 (UTC)We are talking about who - if anyone - is telling people not to get vaccinated. I'm still waiting for an example.

Date: 26/7/21 19:47 (UTC)I never accused you or anyone of that - I didn't and haven't made any assumptions. I just asked if it happened. It wasn't a trick question. It wasn't a gotcha question. It wasn't a strawman.
It was just a question.

It's also possible I was looking for answers.

(no subject)
Date: 26/7/21 21:53 (UTC)A handful of folks after that seem to think the premise of my question is flawed because it isn't happening.
Obviously there isn't a consensus (if only there was a discussion forum nearby!).

Date: 27/7/21 05:49 (UTC)You and I, we must be having a very different understanding of what the purpose of a discussion forum is.
Are we going to be talking about talking for much longer?

It took a near-death experience for him to change his mind.
But yeah. These are people who only trust anecdata. So they've got one bit of it here.
