Can a disease that is 99.7% survivable be said to be “thinning the herd”?
You may have won the internet today. That is indeed an excellent point. How can you thin the herd with a virus not powerful enough to actually....thin it?

Can a disease that is 99.7% survivable be said to be “thinning the herd”?
ah, now that the deadly Delta variant is proven to be not so dramatic...

Here's what you need to know about the lambda Covid variant
The lambda variant is becoming dominant in parts of South America, here's what we know about it so far.www.cnbc.com
Seems to me those who succumb to Covid at this late stage have no one to blame but themselves.
Did you read my post further back in this thread? I stated that people are making the decision to vaccinate or not vaccinate based on political affiliation. Of that I have no doubt. Still doesn't change the fact that the government ****** this all up. And it shouldn't matter if there are liberals or conservatives that aren't getting vaccinated. The fact that so few people trust the government should be the greater concern. They should try repairing that instead of ridiculing people. Shaming people won't work because about 95% of Americans have no shame.Then why the huge disparity between 70%+ innoculated states and the so called red states, severely lagging behind?
Spend 15-20 minutes watching right wing news sources, take your pick, any will do, listen to GOP politicians, or simply read this board here. Won’t take you long to figure out where the anti-vaccine sentiment is coming from.
It’s sure as hell not coming from Biden, the CDC or the federal government.
That is funny. Good one.
you may as well copy and save this so you can save time posting it going forward. it does not mesh with what Tibs is spewing, so he will 100% ignore it.Did you read my post further back in this thread?

I got vaccinated to protect my wife. If not for her condition, I wouldn't have gotten vaccinated either. There is far too much that is unknown about LTSE. You might be ok now, but what about a year from now? Two years? Five Years? It's a legitimate concern.
It's all good. There are getting to be fewer and fewer people in this country that are willing to bow just because big gov says so. People want to see proof. I mean yeah, that vaccine might be good to keep from getting covid, but what's to say four years down the line that I don't end up with a third nipple growing out of my forehead?you may as well copy and save this so you can save time posting it going forward. it does not mesh with what Tibs is spewing, so he will 100% ignore it.
Because the Military vaccinated us against Third Nipple Syndrome. Side effects include profuse swearing, addiction to Ripits and Jameson, and sudden urges to flip everything off.It's all good.

That’s not accurate at all. What was said early on by Kamala Harris and others was they wouldn’t take ‘Trump’s vaccine’ without CDC approval & reccomendation.
Oh, I can't wait for this to start. Gonna turn into a **** show real fast.
Papers please. Papers.
Sorry, Tim I meant 50%+. The 65-70% is closer to the goal, to begin thinking about herd immunity. We’re not there yet, but hopefully inching closer.
The disparity between states remains, hopefully the red states start catching up soon, and nobody gets left behind, figuratively & literally.![]()
Seems so simple, but for some tortured souls it becomes a sordid, twisted tale, causing great heartache and sleepless nights. Same with vaccinations. It’s just not that complicated, folks.

Face masks are the Nazi armbands of today? HmmmSuch virtue signaling bullshit.
You wear your masks for ideology. You wear them for idiocy (they do not work). You wear them because you are Liberal. It's an armband.
