I do wonder if we would be able to eliminate diseases like polio and tetanus today though. There is so much mis-information. Just one person can cause harm by going around and spreading it on social media.

The 600,000 + deaths is greater than combat deaths in WW1 & WW2, combined. We as a society dont believe bad things will happen to us, until it punches us in the face. It took far too long for America to get its collective shit together about the AIDS epidemic. No one cared until it got into the blood supply, by then it was way too late.

The Republican party thinks that they can take back the House next year, but I’m not sure there will be enough republicans to win an election. Look at a political map and a covid map. The deep red states are low vaccination, the opposite for democratic states with high vaccination rates.

The stubborn, gullible, and stupid are now the ones who are dying from covid. Every covid death right now can be avoided.
