I think the networks have ordered at least 13 more shows.

.@DLeonhardt does some math

He suggests that the risk of a breakthrough infection on any given day is about 1 in 5000

I think its closer to 1 in 10,000

And if you live in a lower infection state like MA or RI, its probably closer to 1 in 20,000https://t.co/lMJO3yL6zb

The data keeps getting clearer. If you’re vaccinated, the odds of testing positive for Covid are minuscule. The odds of having to go to the hospital are about one in a million. https://t.co/9uHZs2erpX

Or you can sue the hospital to use ivermectin because you consider the vaccine "experimental."

"For the vaccinated, Covid resembles the flu and usually a mild one.... The risks of getting any version of the virus remain small for the vaccinated, and ... of getting badly sick remain minuscule.... That risk is so close to zero that the human mind can’t easily process it." https://t.co/ZbzKxf2n7N

Which makes this even more terribly sad:

"If the entire country had received shots at the same rate as the Northeast or California, the current Delta wave would be a small fraction of its current size. Delta is a problem. Vaccine hesitancy is a bigger problem." https://t.co/ZbzKxf2n7N

And if frogs had wings...

"By talking as if everyone, given enough time, will eventually choose the shot, public-health agencies may have understated the urgency of the matter and invited the vaccine-hesitant to dwell on the decision indefinitely. Sorry. Time’s up." @TheAtlantic https://t.co/ewiVaXtt6f

The majority does rule, right?

GALLUP: Majorities of Americans now favor businesses mandating proof of vaccination to travel by plane, stay in a hotel, attended crowded events, eat at restaurants and go to the office.https://t.co/3j4LWqE40Q pic.twitter.com/csMkAhqrku

Or is that the tyranny of the majority?

Vaccine mandates are un-American.

This will, of course, come as quite a shock to all the school children and college students and members of the military in America.

1. George Washington vaccinated his troops against smallpox, which is how we won the revolutionary war, traitor.

2. The Supreme Court found that vaccine mandates are, in fact, American and appropriate, dunce: https://t.co/Dq3QDAtQsq

Having introduced Jordan, and Washington, to the discussion, I have no choice but to offer this:

No idea; none at all. 

There is a reason we have eliminated smallpox and nobody in America fears polio anymore. Unfortunately, there is no vaccine against stupid.

Everything was going fine until we had to take a modicum of responsibility for each other. Whose crazy idea was that?
