You would think the booster shot announced would be big news and polarizing but everytime I turn on Fox News this morning they are only talking about Afghanistan.

Seems that way.
Not to downplay Covid in any way, shape, or form, but our laser focus on a virus here in the US has blinded us to what is playing out in the world around us and in the corrupt administration that operates against, and in direct violation of, the citizens' best interests.
Actually, Covid panic is restricted to the children now, keeping the anxiety level alive and kicking among that crowd. Keep them masked. Keep the fear mongering going. Keep indoctrinating and they'll fall in line. It's all about compliance and control. Meanwhile, I'm sure Fauci is somewhere, trying in vain to figure out a way to keep himself relevant, among the catastrophe that is playing out in Afghanistan.

Yeh right around the 6 month to yearly booster news is leaking. Or that at least one in big pharma hid data where in trials the vax barely had 50% efficacy. Or that break through infections are becoming the norm/majority.

This, too.
And the economy, inflation, gas prices, job reports, etc.
This stupid, stupid man and his minions in Congress need to be removed from power. I hope that people realize how badly they've been duped, and that common sense prevails in 2022 when they go to the polls to vote who represents their interests.

A sixteenth of a person doesn't have much voting power.

Many local station lag a little. They'll report new stories with 30 second mentions or a minute and half report. But after that it's either the politics of the owners or national network.

That's silly. People take precautions all the time to mitigate risk.

Insurance, seat belts, smoke detectors, sunscreen and lots of other things. Doesn't mean they are afraid daily that their house might burn down or that they will get sick, injured or sunburned.
