Will America Be The Shining Vaccine City On The Hill?


.

The video, above, shows a certain septuagenerian country singer touting her COVID vaccine proudly and very publicly unlike, say, a similarly aged former president:

Former U.S. president Donald Trump and his wife, Melania, were vaccinated for COVID-19 in private during their last days in the White House in January, even as other leaders tried to set an example by getting their vaccines in public...

****

Why does stuff like this, and further efforts from folks like Ms. Parton (who also Weird-Alified her hit 'Jolene' to 'Vaccine') to encourage everyone to get jabbed, matter?

Well, Americans are now putting vaccines into 2 million arms a day. Thus, the Biden administration seems to have dealt with the vaccine supply problem, so much so that the current (still barely) septuagenerian president recently predicted that they will have enough stock to jab everyone in the USA by the end of May.


But...

Unfortunately, it appears that a significant proportion of certain segments of the USian population are signaling that they just may refuse to get the vaccine:



If those refusals really do occur in significant numbers the situation in America could shift from a supply problem to a demand problem.

And with variants circulating, and mask mandates being prematurely rescinded, that just might lead to big, big trouble, indeed.

Jolene cover?....This!
As for our Canadian vaccine supply problem that we wrote about yesterday....The single jab J&J vaccine has now been approved...

the proof is right there. Let the GOP have there way and the end result will be a lot less support for Trump in there next election. They are not bright so there will be no big loss. I really think that there has been a lot of inter-breeding of family members in that party. GOP stands for good old papa you know like the Trumps.

The info. on chart of unsure/will not take the vaccine, could also apply to the groups that consistently and repeatedly vote or don’t vote at all against their own interests, at all levels of govt., despite the glaring inequities that affect the well being, prospects, life expectancy of the individual and their respective communities.
