The P&R Plague Thread (Covid-19)

I guess the strategy now is to just let it rip since masks, vaccine passports, the Governor being the face of the vaccination drive, and not holding Trumpist super spreader events are off the table.  Let's just hope a slew of deaths don't follow.

Yeah France, those f#&%ing commies...

 

So obviously this won't fly in 'Merka but how about just paying people to get vaxxed. Would $100 do it?  $500?  How about free tickets to Trump's next holy revival, truth telling, own the libs MAGA event? 

 

Whatever works, it's gotta be cheaper than the next surge and the toll on the economy.

Really? Like the US government hasn't experimented on black populations before? I am not saying we shouldn't all be vaccinated, but I understand why certain populations, given past history, do not trust the government when it comes to this stuff. 

 

Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuskegee_Syphilis_Study

 

Are they experimenting on black populations now?

we should be nearing herd immunity by now...but noooooo....the anti vax crowd apparently wants this to continue.  and somehow the right wing propaganda machine figures this is a good thing.

That tells me it's a specific concerted effort by a few people with ulterior motives.

 

Hmmmm.....wonder what that would be.

I still don't understand what the End Game is...how does it benefit anyone (politically) to have people getting infected again and/or the small possibility of dying?

Ya, me neither.

If we shut down again, how long until another round of stimulus checks come out?
