Ultra, first,foremost thanks for your service,thanks for avoiding bone spurs. Double thanks for completing a honorable career and saving vaccine protest stance to civilian life.
You and I can go back and forth,and too often stray from the issues,
Boiled down..my stance is that over a million people dying in the United States of anything is a big deal,of the up most importance to the country,definitely a national security issue. And not straying too far from one of your important talking points,it looks like the absolute origin of the virus,may never be determined, as diligent citizens, readiness is our only option in the event that Covid, or something like it or worse is introduced into the population on purpose. So the rebuilding of the infrastructure for pandemic and other threats,essential for all national security interests. Doing away with agencies and funding for pandemic response was myopic, misplaced and an obvious blunder for public health and national security.
million plus dead for me,means a huge deal call for immediate and emergency action
And as I said about our schools, some vaccine benchmarks need to be maintained so we don't revisit past historical scurges..
And currently there is a great debate about showing death as part of a journalists mission..again our kids and adults are dying, death in other countries,but the American system currently finds it in poor taste to show reality,instead choosing a G or PG version.. You find a number,over the top, when in my opinion,early reporting of stacked bodies,people gasping for a last breath, may have sent an effective Scared Straight type message that many would respond to..from what I have lived..Americans really do live by...seeing is believing..and we rarely saw anything..
There are a series of PSAs featuring folks who used cigarettes or smokeless tobacco products..their personal accounts of why not to, combined with a physical state of decline,disease, or despair are effective deterrent s in my opinion..
I understand that there is overall Covid numbness..but it doesn't lesson the danger
And maybe to your point or not..most prevalent variant looks to be vaccine resistant..
