All this stuff about them putting tracking chips in the vaccine, just going to say this; If you don't own a mobile phone and a few credit cards then the government doesn't think you're important enough to give a single, solitary fvck about, if you do own those things then they already have the means to track you, so get a grip.

Don't forget your Fitbit....But I think you can use NordVPN when you take your vaccine....it should hide your whereabouts.
UK Corona variant 30% more lethal, bloody worrying.
It's worrisome. But the key thing is that vaccines seem to be able to deal with it.
In reality, my largest worry about all of this is people fear for vaccines.
COVID-19 has literally come at one of the worst times and the worst locations. It didn't help that the virus originated in authoritarian China, where information was most likely not conveyed in a timely matter. It hit the world when populist governments were becoming stronger. It hit the US with the dumb **** of a President.....and it hit a time when anti-vax is all time high....the worst situation.
I already know two smart people I know who was not planning on taking a vaccine because it was too quick......

Also the South African variant may elude immune response believe it or not. I actually suggested this could happen months ago.

Well we crossed 40K deaths today (or was it yesterday?) and [certain types of] people are now upset because some doctors and nurses danced a bit to blow off steam if what has to be a stressful situation?Shocking, really. These same types of people had a problem with Michele Obama doing a dance routine (girl can dance too), called it "not becoming" and they threw a fit because AOC danced back in college and made a video.

What happens with taking a "it's not really happening" style of approach, now it's out of control, has been for a long time and it's going to take a long time to turn that around.
Dr. Anthony Fauci said Friday that the lack of truthfulness from the Trump administration regarding the Covid-19 pandemic "very likely" cost American lives.
"Particularly when you're in the situation of almost being in a crisis with the number of cases and hospitalizations and deaths that we have -- when you start talking about things that make no sense medically and no sense scientifically, that clearly is not helpful," Fauci, the chief medical adviser to President Joe Biden, said on CNN's "New Day" Friday.
Asked by CNN's John Berman if the lack of candor over the last year and lack of facts, in some cases, cost lives, Fauci said, "You know, it very likely did."
He warned that it's "not helpful" when "you're starting to go down paths that are not based on any science at all," adding that he doesn't wish to rehash the ways in which the Trump administration steered away from science. -snip

Imagine being Fauci and having to sit and listen to Trump and his nosferatu pet Stephen Miller try and handle a pandemic with their feelings instead of scientific data. Honestly surprised Fauci didn't quit.

He has always been a pushover. He was the same way under Reagan with regard to HIV/AIDS. I wonder how much better off the U.S. would be if there was someone in his position with a spine.
Anyone remember when Whirly, bragging because by first degree he is a biologist said, even for RNA vaccines mutation might cause a hurdle in reaching herd immunity?
Whirly remembers Voltron poo pooing this.
Well,
Earlier, footage emerged showing Matt Hancock, the health secretary, saying there was “evidence in the public domain” that the South African variant reduces vaccine efficacy “by about 50%”.
Originally posted by Old Man Whirly!Whirly also stated whilst usually mutations are less virulent and deadly, that is not a hard rule and we have no idea of the mutation rate. E mommy said the mutation rate for Covid was low, Whirly said we have no idea. We do not have enough data. Biological systems are much more complex to model than emommy and right wing newspapers applying economically statistical rules due to the randomness factor. Or words to that effect.
