Dirt, I get what you are saying, I follow that w getting consistent,accurate information to @335,000,000 people was always going to be a difficult,full time,24\7 job..without dredging through the cat box we know that didn't happen for over the first year of the Covid pandemic.
For many countries that look a little like the United States, the components again are similar. Rather than think that there is a magic potion available in the vaccine needle..that was never the case..the numbers are there..yes a young pretty girl died..but for the most part in the United States..old people,brown and black, the indigenous have been ravaged..so for those not in those groups the message of why to get the vaccine has not been told in context.
I feel like America as a whole has been subject to a Reefer Madness type scenario were the virus was portrayed in a Ebola, or acid on your skin story..and it's not true. Covid is a Wheel of Unfortunate..most people exposed are,were uneffected..so lots...millions of Americans are still not sure that the virus exists. Sad but that is where we are..Millions..10's of millions of Americans still thinking if there is a virus..for 1000's of reasons,but one for sure was that during 30 second or 2,3 minutes of TV interviews experts,officials didn't have a clear message.
my heart will be forever damaged by the Covid Task Force press conferences..early on they looked to be politically positive..keep printing political capital..but after a few missteps..the go to TV broadcasts were completely cancelled and seen as a political liability..and f-ck public health..
And if things could not have gotten worse..the federal government stated publicly..the responsibility for Covid-19 policy and national,international strategic planning should be done on a town to town basis nationwide..
in many U.S. tiny towns a stray dog or town drunk present a challenge to local government.and the feds said..on top of the stray dog,keep your citizens safe from the virus..
Then and now..that policy..the national strategy of not having a national strategy..was the dream of someone taking a huge hit off a crack pipe..
getting the vaccine has some basic tenants..protect yourself,your family,people in your community..and getting the vaccine also helps you protect strangers,people who you will never know or meet.
but if you don't care about one of all of those,don't get the vaccine and turn on Fox..or OAN..
