I don't think any perfect choice exists. You get the vaccine you might have side effects. You don't get the vaccine you might get sick from covid. Only way to avoid all of this is be a hermit up in a cabin all alone until its over. But who would want to do that.

So everyone just rolls the dice one way or another. With Delta I am glad I am vaccinated. With Lambda if that hits hard I might regret it. Assuming Lambda can evade the vaccine. And the one after that if there is one? Who knows. I might start looking for that cabin at that point.

I was a manager at a pharmacy chain out of college. I had no special training for working there but they wanted people who at least had the ability to complete college.

So yes the data shows a lack of education and vaccine hesitancy go together. Sorry that touches a nerve. Sometimes the truth hurts.
No they don't. You stated that and said the numbers were from the Census Bureau which I proved to you isn't true.
You just ignore and continue to repeat .

So yes, I would call that a black boycott. When the highest risk demographic of dying of covid is the lowest vaccinated, that’s called a boycott.

Liberals think we blacks are permanent helpless victims, so it’s now blowing up in their face when they complain that we can’t even get a vaccine.

Why aren’t blacks getting vaccines? Because we don’t trust Biden. Period.
Your example was totally bogus. You know that. Now since that didn't work its time to blame Biden. I don't like Biden and how he is dealing with the pandemic. Its no better than how Trump dealt with it which was rightfully criticized.

You may not get the vaccine because of Biden but if Trump had remained in office the numbers would have been just as bad. Black people tend to not trust white people and the government which is run mostly by white people. You think that black people who mostly voted for Biden would trust Trump more? Most are not conservatives like you. Truth is the majority of people not vaccinated in America are white. And that is because 60% of the population is white.

But like I have said. I don't care about changing anyone's mind on the vaccine. Let it rip through the country and whatever happens happens.

Its from census data. You keep saying the census bureau. Why try to argue that? Its easy to take official census data, like income and education by zip code and compare that to vaccination rates in each zip code. More educated zip codes have higher vaccination rates. What is so hard to understand about that?

We heard that asymptomatic or mild cases can develop heart/lung issues 8 or 9 months down the road, but that information has been silenced all of a sudden, we are only hearing most of serious illness/hospitalizations are the unvaccinated. Will the mild case vaccinated be admitted to hospitals around Sept/Oct from the January vaccines from heart/lung issues?

Im A-. I never tested for covid. I work in a hospital as a CT tech and xray tech. I literally touch covid sick patients, hands on. Many times not even knowing if they are sick. So I have for sure brought it home. Our family has been spared from it all.
I'm a runner. Well..not so much the last couple of weeks sense I started working 3rd shift. It's hard to adjust.
Covid spreads primarily by exposure to respiratory droplets and aerosols, expressed by an infected person. In 2020 I had routine blood work done, a mammogram, ultrasound and a CT. In all cases, I was required to be masked as were the techs. Unlike me, the techs wore N99 and N95 masks.

They also wore gloves and gowns. In a few cases the techs also wore face shields.

Most healthcare professionals who comply with their employer’s PPE protocols do not become infected by patient contact.

There were no lockdowns in the US.

Heck, no one exposed to or who tested positive was forced into isolated quarantine, unless incarcerated.

People have been free to go outside for a walk, a run, a bike ride, skating etc., all along.

And did you actually do that? Look up the figures on 42,000 (approx) zip codes, the income and education levels and vax rates?
Are you a programmer by any chance?
I'll take back all that I said if you did since you said it's so easy.

Really ? And just who has this crystal ball that is predicting the future for a virus and vaccine that has never been used before and has no history ?

Think about that for a moment.
