    There's going to be a HUGE controversy in 2021 about the vaccines. Remember the Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy anti-vaxxing thing, and the shitstorm that stirred up? It will be that times 100000000.

    So the first round of the vaccines will show up in January, and will be given to the old people, the healthcare workers, and those with major preexisting conditions. The vast majority of these people will take the vaccine and probably have fairly good results, and for the moment there will be optimism for the near future.

    Then it will become available in March or April for the general public, and all hell will break loose. The problems will be as follows:

    1) Adults will refuse to give it to their kids, seeing a realistic risk (side effects) but no real benefit (COVID rarely harms kids). The teachers unions will freak out about this because they are going to want the teachers in school safe from COVID, and will pressure lawmakers into requiring the COVID vaccine for kids to return to in-person school. Parents will say "fuck no", and there's going to be a lot of gigantic, ugly standoffs, perhaps with teacher work stoppages.

    2) Adults under 35 will refuse to take the vaccine. Remember the stat I quoted you last week that 99% of the COVID deaths are people 35+, despite the fact that people 0-34 make up almost half the US population? Expect that little-cited stat to become front and center during the vaccine controversy. Young people will simply not take this thing, and between them and the kids, we will have a very large portion of the country unvaccinated.

    3) Some people over 35 will refuse the vaccine. Remember my complaint that the media wasn't sufficiently explaining the difference of COVID danger between someone 25 and 45? That will come back to bite us. Healthy middle-aged people will underestimate their COVID danger, and decide to go with the young people and not take the vaccine. There will be a lot more vaccine compliance than with the under-35 group, but still a decent portion of 35-65 year olds refusing to take it -- at least until substantial time passes.

    4) Any harmful side effects of the vaccine will be magnified on social media, and all kinds of conspiracy theories and horror stories will spread. This will lower compliance further.

    Take all of the above together, and we're probably looking at half the population refusing the vaccine, perhaps more. This will prevent herd immunity from occurring, and COVID will continue to live on. This will also give it more time to mutate, as the flu does each year.

    At some point, the government will realize that we're not getting past COVID because of the stubborn half of the population who refuse to vaccinate, and we will start having talk of forced vaccination, which will cause a controversy involving individual rights and freedom like you've never seen before.

    If you thought 2020 was full of controversy, buckle up for 2021.

    Book it.
    Your timeline is true would occur even sooner. Healthcare workers are known for refusing flu vaccine at higher rates than the general public. When I worked in hospital they literally had nurses going to everyone's personal office to give you a shot in an effort to try and mitigate such a risk. I know splitthis is seen as a raving lunatic but she is not that far off the typical nurse.

    I'll likely be getting the vaccine early and will let you guys know if I become sterile so no worries.

    At least in CA, schools require proof of immunization from certain diseases/viruses as a condition for registration, so it stands to reason COVID-19 will be added to the list, and it will likely be required for continued enrollment.

    I just asked my wife, of the 50-60 people she supervises on her floor she said 2 people don’t get the flu shot. So they have to wear masks 100% of the time from like Oct-March. Will be interesting to see what those numbers look like for the Covid vaccine.

    There will be no mandate for schools. Good luck with that. As far as employers there will be trouble as well. People have the right to refuse vaccines for religious reasons.

    Won’t ever take the vaccine, am preparing my body for the viral war to come NATURALLY.
    Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

    The leadership of President Trump helped kill more than 250,000 people.

    Hmm.

    where did you hear anyones getting vaccinated before mid 2021?

    Every time someone has an adverse reaction the anti vax group will be posting it all over the place.


    They did it with that HPV one...I can only imagine the craziness that will ensue on the first case of guillain barre.

    Cuomo killing off multi-thousands of people in assisted living by planting covid patients among them was criminally negligent.

    Yeah, but you are taking out a real consideration with Rachel, she makes $15M a year, connected, and works in New York City. I mean, I would guess there is a 0% chance she does not have a ton on the side. She is about as liberal as liberal gets and for many of those folks its about exploring sexuality at all costs. She can easily say she is a sexual demon and no one woman can ever satisfy her. Years ago I had a few experiences with a married bar fly, she would routinely tell me one man or woman could never satisfy her, she needed it 4 or 5 times a week. Yes, I wore a rubber.
    4 or 5 times a week? Hahahahahahahahahahha!!! I would have fucked the bitch 4 or 5 times a day.

    What distinguishes the US from Asian counties is we have LOTS of fat people who live off of fast food. In Japan, most people live off of fish. In this country we have a McDonalds on every corner. And on the other corner a banner with a 5.99 pizza. This has nothing to do with Trump, or Biden for that matter. Old people and Fat people are in the crosshairs. If you are over 80, it's just the way it is in life, we can all agree on that. If you are a fucking fat ass get your BMI under 30 and you will probably survive the next wave. In other words stop eating a 2,000 calorie pizza every day.
    Canada's provinces are more powerful compared to their federal government than America's states, but they're doing better than we are. Of course, they have socialized medicine and we don't.

    Next stupid theory from Mr. Fancy NE School?
    At least 50% of American medicine is socialized.

    Great point, so what's your explanation for why America has been a complete clown show about Covid?

    Hint: it's Trump's followers. They're idiots, and he's making it worse by telling them what they want to hear instead of telling them the truth.

    "Trump should have told us to wear masks" is weak. And any other shit you blame on Trump was done far worse by the left. Why dont' you tell us how great Cuomo and Wolf and other democrat governors were in placing covid patients in nursing homes. That caused half the deaths.

    I agree there's plenty of blame to go around. That doesn't let Trump off the hook.

    Wouldn't visit a whorehouse, unless it's a legal one in Nevada and I was considering buying it.
