Unfortunately my younger sister and her two QAnon-influenced daughters are not planning to get the vaccine. I suspect they will become a statistic like many of that ilk. I told her that now is the time to protect herself with the vaccine and to not ask for my sympathy when they are shoving the breathing tube down her throat.
Recently Katelyn wrote how percentage-wise the unvaccinated are getting sick and dying at the same rate as we all were before any of us were vaxxed. The Delta variant was increasing this percentage. Then there is the emerging Gamma variant which has a 16% breakthrough infection rate. Also, in communities where the unvaxxed are largely surrounded by the vaxxed such as in Marin (90% vaxxed), its true that the breakouts are less likely to go anywhere although they do seek out everyone who hasn;t received the vaccine.
In Red States where the vax rate is low, the infections continue and spread just as before. The Trumpers are fooling themselves thinking that since many of us have been vaxxed, there is no need for them to that they are protected by herd immunity. The only herd immunity that will happen is when we achieve a 100% vaccination rate. Unfortunately, many of these Trumpers will get sick and a number of them will die.
The question I have - is will these Covid-killed Republicans be purged from the voting lists in Georgia? I doubt it.
The last time this country asked people to prove their metal as Americans was during the polio crisis. Families couldn't wait to take the vaccine; this nation showed it's strength and love of country.
The anti-vaxx folks of today that think it's some conspiracy to control them shouldn't flatter themselves. Oh those brave people in the medical field may give a crap about them, the people performing essential services may care if they eat and get toilet paper, and their relatives may love them, but Donald and Jared really didn't worry if they lived or died much less where they are currently located. Our government is of and by us people, so is our well-being these days. So thank you for getting vaccinated you decent and patriotic Americans and citizens around the world. It was the least I could do, you know, having a conscience and all.

Two excellent bloggers on the pandemic: betsybrownmd.substack.com by my friend Betsy Brown, and yourlocalepidemiologist.substack.com by Katelyn Jetelina.

I have written this before. Insurance companies should be relieved from Covid coverage for non vaccinated clients. Then see how many get vaccinated.
