Most people come to the UK by air as did the Brazilian and Indian variants, the UK government's response to the developing changes has been too slow on every occasion.
Our government under Trump obviously botched it in the most horrible way, and now many stupid American people who refuse to get vaccinated are making matters worse.
Holy smokes!!! In the states, we've been hearing they are shutting down vax sites due to low traffic. I forgot what percentage are still unvaccinated but there is a huge anti-vaxxers movement here. In fact, I know a few conservatives that have written Trump off because he promoted (and his narcissistic *** wants the vax renamed "Trump").
That statement isn't contradictory to that unknown outcome. The general idea behind the anti-vaxxers that think that is the clinical trials were rushed through to get them developed as soon as possible. They believe that first or second tier won't develop problems for a few years so it's too early to know if it's TRULY safe and effective.
What about the nurses at Houston Methodist who got fired for not getting vaccinated? And they are going to sue because they refused to put the safety of their patients and coworkers first.
Yes. I try to make the effort to understand people that think differently than I do because I strongly believe the only way to resolve problems is to talk about them. So stepping in those moccasins, it does seem very suspicious they are bribing people to get it.
I guess the average person in the US is an idiot. And about the bribery? It's working with some of them. So they wouldn't go get the vaccine on their own, citing the rumored dangers they read about on Facebook from other uninformed peoples' posts, but if you give them money or booze they will get it. Ridiculous.
Well, yeah. I wasn't trying to make it make sense. It doesn't. I am just saying that I understand the vaccine hesitancy.
I don't understand the hesitancy. Not at all. I just look at the statistics and facts. There are fewer hospitalizations and deaths in vaccinated people. People who are not vaccinated make up the majority of cases resulting in hospitalizations and deaths. And most places in the US haven't gotten the Delta strain in their regions yet. Oh, and the Delta variant is targeting younger people, who in the US make up a good percentage of unvaccinated people.
First, the most vulnerable population, seniors usually don't have smart phones and/or access to the internet. They get all their information from the nightly news, local newspapers and word of mouth.
The majority of seniors in the US got vaccinated, they aren't the ones who are balking at it for the most part. Most of the people who don't want the vaccine are younger.
