It is ironic that of all of those jerks who resisted medi-care for all, none were willing to pay for their own vaccinations.  Conservatives fought the Affordable Care Act by tooth and nail for a decade, but none of them are worried saving money for the government by paying for their own vaccine.  Why is a guy like Tucker Carlson taking the vax for free if he is so opposed to community access to medical care?  

Think of the herculean effort it has taken to get 68% of this country to go get a shot and then two weeks later return for a second dose. 

Now, remember a few years ago when there was a shortage of flu vaccines and the stories of people cheating to get the shot?  Or during the SARS outbreak when Manhattan socialites were going to their doctors asking to hoard the unproven treatment in case of emergencies?  Maybe if they made it cost prohibitive for the poor, then conservatives would have jumped on board and demanded two shots and a booster for everyone who ever wanted to enter a building. 

I say for the next pandemic we market a gold plated vaccine that costs $10,000.00 (as well as free dosages of the equivalent vaccine for all).  Place the viles in a sheepskin case wrapped in alpaca delivered by Tesla with a digital lock made by Apple.  And every egotistical sport figure, toxic male, and affluence seeker would cover the cost of vaccinating the rest of us.

In many European countries, the situation is getting out of control once again. Denmark had to introduce restrictions again after their freedom day, and some regions of the Netherlands have trouble coping with all the hospital admissions.

In Germany, not even 70 % of the population have been vaccinated. This means there are still more than 25 million people without protection. There are a lot of anti-vaxxers, especially in the eastern states and in Bavaria. The latter declared a state of emergency today because the hospitals have run out of intensive care beds. In one region, the 7-day incidence has risen to over 1100.

Politicians are of course helpless and they didn't see this fourth wave coming ...

Worst off is Saxony where the virus already ravaged the most last year.

The media happily reports every breakthrough infection of "celebrities" so these anti-vaxxers feel vindicated in their decision to "swim against the stream", as they call it.
