    So... you really think Germany is installing dividers in grocery stores for vaxxed and non-vaxxed people? That's a really simple yes or no question.

    I texted my good friend who lives in Frankfurt to confirm this for me. Will let you know when he answered me. I’m having a brewski at the moment with my boxing crew, ready for the fight between Devin Haney v Jo Jo Diaz.

    Agree to disagree here. Looking at the demographics and numbers of poor and HS graduates or less who aren't vaccinated, you can't dismiss that group as all proud Maga hat wearers.

    I don't follow Western Euro news as much, but do they each have a Trump of their own to decribe similar vax rates? Shouldn't they be better off with their centralized healthcare/welfare systems? Or is the "head start" with America being first in queue the offset? It's already been months past those vaccine shipment delays in Europe...but the narrative hasn't shifted to us being a lagging performer.

    The current numbers and the lack of improvement elsewhere just doesn't corroborate with the message that's been repeated for half a year. A lot of old Cons and boomers took the shot because they didn't want to die, but still bellyached at the thought of being forced rather than it by choice. Then you have the mid-thirties and under who "aren't political" and don't give a flying **** about an old person's disease and would rather skip the sick days from the pin pricks.

    And historically, you don't have civil servants walking into South Central, Chiraq or 8 Mile Detroit promising treatment or care, unless you consider people with badges and guns as the civil servants I'm thinking of. For chrissakes, they practicall use the ER as their Once a Year doctor's visit and can't even get Dominoes delivered at their doorstep.

    It's just a complete and concerted blindspot by the American people, corporate media, and calculating politicians. Almost in our cultural DNA to deny attention on the less merited.

    Are you going to apologize for posting that completely false German fencing BS? Or better yet just delete it?

    You really think this is possibly true. Weird.

    I haven't skimmed too many of that poster's post, but I'm like 99% sure after seeing a handful that it's a level.

    Sure the availability of vaccines isn't even or as good as we would like but that is a logistics problem that is being addressed by the widespread of availability of the vaccines. That the are available not only at most clinics but also at CVS shows that nearly everyone who wants one can get one. That we have problems in availability is largely due that we have problems with access to health care in general but the vast majority of Americans can get the vaccine.

    Europe started vaccinating later than the US and has had issues with supply chains and problems manufacturing vaccines. The Astrozenica vaccine is the most widely used vaccine in Europe and they have had manufacturing problems. That said Europe also has an ideological problem with distrust of the vaccine among both Far Right groups and immigrants groups.

    More evidence that Republicans are killing their own voters.

    https://www.npr.org/sections/health...isinformation-trump-counties-covid-death-rate

    [​IMG]

    At our current death rate of 1000 per day, you're talking about 700,000 people between 2020 and 2022 elections. If 75% are GOP and 60% are voters, you're talking about a net 200,000 votes lost for the GOP relative to Dems. If it continues to 2024, that could be the difference between the GOP winning or losing states like GA, AZ, WI.

    Wow, 2.7 times more Covid deaths in Trump supporter areas is a lot. What's even more significant is that the reddest tenth of the country has had 6 times higher death rates and still 5.5 higher death rates since October. They are killing off their voters with the misinformation and propaganda about Covid and vaccines that those gullible fools who support them still believe.

    They already don't believe in elections, so if they lose those states, they'll just become more radical.

    That video backs up everything that I said and nothing of what you're claiming.

    The doctor said that she's seen patients with milder symptoms. She said that could be because the virus tends to get milder as it evolves. The virus does better when the host lives.

    She also mentioned that the vaccines appear to be working because of the milder conditions.

    This isn't a report or scientific and medical community lying and trying to scare people.

    I have not claimed in any of my posts that vaccines aren't available to our poor neighborhoods, rather they don't trust the system to actively seek a free readily available vaccine. For them, it's why bother since they rarely rely on medical services in the first place.

    If you don't try to understand the mentality and struggles of these poor groups who aren't vaccinated, isn't that the issue when libs parrot what is commonly reported and assume the matter on that front "is settled"?

    Btw, those manufacturing probs in Europe are resolved, but i see we more or less agree on Europe...now ask youself why it's so hard for them to increase vax rates when normally Big Brain Experts preach that we should be more like Europe.

    Is this fake like some of your other unaddressed but proven false twitter pastes? I guess someone else could do the homework again but probably easiest for us to just ignore your posts in this forum, sadly. Disinformation is literally deadly. Not funny.
