Vaccine experts "think" thrice vaccinated adults to be protected from the Omicron variant. Lets hope so.
Maybe it’s time to consider getting a vaccine, all. Get the information and make it your choice .
Recent update on political affiliation (by county) and Covid death rates (since May 2021, when the vaccine became widely available).
Nothing surprising here, sadly. Our country has a real problem:
NPR: Pro-Trump counties now have far higher COVID death rates. Misinformation is to blame.

Perfect example of the politicization of a pandemic, and the use of "journalism" / rhetoric to reinforce "confirmation bias"
It's shameful.
This 15 minute clip is a discussion of the danger of narratives fomenting distrust in politicians, government, and now "science".

"A truth does not mind being questioned. A lie does not like being challenged."
And political office holders,
Trump appears to have exposed dozens, if not hundreds, of people, including his 77-year-old opponent, to a potentially deadly illness. It was a remarkable demonstration of his selfish indifference to the health and welfare of everyone around him. And in the same way that he refused to act on his own infection — until it was almost too late — he also refused to act to stem a pandemic that, at the time of his positive test, had killed more than 200,000 Americans."

A perfect example of the problem alluded to in the YouTube clip. Political narratives reinforcing tribalism, from a mainstream publication.
"A truth does not mind being questioned. A lie does not like being challenged."
But Trump's action resonate not at all with some. Blame the messenger.
Yes, Trump has caused many to lose their faculty of reasoning, on the left and right. While he shares in the blame, so do those who don't have the mental acuity to remain unaffected by it. He does indeed appear to live in people's heads.
"A truth does not mind being questioned. A lie does not like being challenged."
As the death rate in counties that voted for him shows........
Chuck, your TDS and lack of composure are showing again.
"A truth does not mind being questioned. A lie does not like being challenged."
Not really. Metaphorically beating a 6-year old at chess isn't particularly fun.
"A truth does not mind being questioned. A lie does not like being challenged."
A fraud can't radicalize you if you don't let him. Curiously, that "fraud" was successful at radicalizing both sides - but one can't see that if they have a blind spot.
"A truth does not mind being questioned. A lie does not like being challenged."
Ignore the obvious? I pointed it out. Trump has no effect on my emotional state. I neither love nor hate the man. I agreed with some of his policies, and not others.
You are triggered into vitriol by him. Did he radicalize you, or exacerbate a previous radicalization?
He also seems to negatively affect your spelling, grammar, and ability to form cogent thoughts.
You'll have to decide which "Chuck" you want to be. One is capable of interesting discourse. The other sounds like a crazy man on a park bench, shouting nonsense at passersby.
I'd pick the former if I were you, but maybe that only comes in rare moments of lucidity - when you're not triggered.
