Well Biden said the vaccine will be available to everyone by April 15...7 days.

Most states are open to everyone 16+.

I don't understand why NJ is still at 55+ though and it's already April.

My state now has vaccinations broken down by zip code. My zip code shows 60% of the residents are fully vaccinated.

If you don't believe the Covid numbers look at excess deaths for 2020. I'll wait.

There have been lots of proven cases where medical professionals have falsified diagnoses in order to get higher reimbursement. The way COVID-19 money was thrown around, it is likely to be even more common.

Yes, a year ago Trump ordered enough vaccine to vaccinate every one in America more than twice. We are reaping those benefits now.

I won’t get the vaccine and I am 100% ok with the risk. Once everyone who wants the vaccine has the chance to get it, everyone should be able to get back to normal and live our lives.

It is an airborne virus which will be with us forever. Eventually you will get infected. If you are young and healthy without risk factors like high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, smoking, etc. you will get flu-like symptoms. If you do fit one of the risk categories you may spend weeks on a ventilator or die.

Yes, and you may get killed in an auto accident and die, you may get cancer and die, you may get killed in a random act of violence, etc., etc.

And, to the bold -- about 30% of people who who are infected don't have any symptoms at all -- so you are almost certainly incorrect will you say they "will" get flu-like symptoms.

(This has been very well documented for months, so I am surprised that you don't know this.)

P.S. I also think it is premature to say at this point "eventually you will get infected". Maybe that will prove to be true, but I don't think that everyone will be infected as they might die from other causes before then -- and who knows what further tests into some people having some kind of natural (genetic) immunity might reveal?

Or you may not, aamof, the probabilities are still in your favour, just not as much as the "healthy" folks.

Depends on how many people act like you do really. Youre depending on others being more responsible then you.
