I almost some days that the people who know how all the various technologies work that keep our society functioning would just...step back...for a couple of months.
Let all the Internet experts shoulder the load for a while, see how that goes.

I could imagine in an alternate reality where a lot more people were vaccinated, masks might not be so important. Unfortunately we have anit-vaxxers like RFK Jr., Fox news, others around their social media circles and right to choose bunch promoting Covid disinformation around the vaccines and boosters that we all have to pay the price for. I don't know how many more of them will have to die or get ill before any of that changes, if ever.
Enough people in my state are vaccinated. Those who choose not to get vaccinated will pay the price. The rest of us should not have to.Quote:

But that will never be a norm for most if test kits are near $30 and hard to find of course.
Did I say that Fox news was anti-vaxx, or that they were the source of disinformation? Though I don't know what others might say. You can google Tucker Carlson as easy as me and believe it or not.Quote:

I've personally never paid any attention to Tucker Carlson so I'm not sure what he believes, but have watched/listened to the network's hard news segments and have never heard anything other than vaccine support. I'd never considered that people would equate one person for an entire network.
Oh, ok. Yes I knew that stuff at a summary level. Unfortunately I listened to too much of the live Fauci versus rand Paul congressional hearing. I only listened to it because it was a beautiful evening and I was driving around in my convertible.Quote:
