About half of the people I know, including nurses, seem very reluctant to get the vaccination. Surprisingly, this includes different political demographics. What better way to settle it than by coming to a Saints message board.

edit: Geez I somehow allowed people to pick more than one answer on a yes/no poll. Doh!

It would be interesting to see if attitudes have shifted any by conducting a new YES/NO poll. Something along the lines of: "Going forward, do you intend to get any COVID vaccine shots (any variant, initial shot or booster shot) when they are offered?" You up for it, Dre?

It's interesting to observe how different cultures react to similar situations.
I spent 2019-2021 in the U.S., while my wife and younger son stayed in MX. In the U.S., the pandemic quickly got over-politicized. In my home State of Yucatan, there were no political sides taken, there were no conspiracy theories or wild claims about drinking bleach or taking horse medicine, except for a few social media attention-seekers who were very much translating into Spanish tweets and FB posts from anti-vaxers, QAnon, etc... people here couldn't get the vaccine fast enough; many traveled to the U.S. to get it. The 2 biggest vaccine controversies were how long it was taken to distribute the vaccines and people refusing to get the Cuban vaccine.

The government in my home State went all out on social distancing; one of the convention centers was turned into a covid hospital with 400 beds. Because of the government efforts and people following guidelines/getting the vaccine, hospitals here never were overflowing with Covid patients. That makeshift, 400 bed covid hospital never reached even half the capacity...

There were still deaths, sure, and the government had a report, both in Spanish and Maya, every day of the number of deaths, the conditions of the people who died, and every day stressed vaccination, masks, and social distancing... for the most part, covid was pretty much controlled. It would've been better if it weren't because the State is a big tourism destination and has a large expat community.

My wife is from Taiwan and their story is similar. It's common practice for a vast majority of citizens to wear
masks in public every flu season. They treated the pandemic the same way. The hospitals like Mexico were
never overrun. There were no large organized protests about mask mandates. People died of course, but it
was nowhere close to the % of the population of the U.S.

The Ms. coast has a large community of Vietnamese Americans. According to the stats they were the least
affected ethnic group during the pandemic. The main reason was Vietnam like Taiwan Have the same
practices during regular flu season.

Wife is from Korea, similar story there. I definitely would like to move there someday. Maybe after I retire. Possibly sooner if certain things happen. We'll see.
 
Robert F Kennedy has claimed his anti-vaxx interviews are being censored by YouTube and Google in a new lawsuit which accuses the big tech behemoths of being “state actors”…….

Mr Kennedy’s lawyers alleged in the court filing that his misinformation about Covid vaccines was being censored through “overt and covert” means.

“Under these circumstances, YouTube is a state actor and it violated Mr Kennedy’s First Amendment rights by engaging in viewpoint discrimination.”

Mr Kennedy’s anti-vaccine crusade and penchant for spreading fact-free conspiracy theories have seen him run afoul of the content moderation policies of several digital sites.……

A person who doesn't like people would say that the gene pool stands to benefit from such a situation.
 
Many people in my extended family have covid now after attending a funeral last week.

About 2/3 of the people who went to the funeral have symptoms, 4 of them got tested and were positive, so the rest assume they also have it.
