In practice getting the vaccine if you’re age 12 and up is fairly straightforward: make an appointment at CVS, and check the box saying you’re in a high-risk group. I was asked no further questions by CVS, though I have heard some stories of people having issues with insurance.

      It’s true that there’s no cure for stupid, but there is a vaccine. What you do is don’t take the vaccine, and nature does the rest.

        The point here is that there is a vaccine, but the fucking imbeciles in charge of shit here have restricted access to the vaccine, which makes it way harder for normal, reasonable, civically-responsible people to get it.

          There is no herd immunity when only, say, 10% of the population gets the vaccine, and the virus circulating now is just enough different from the ones circulating a year ago that basically nobody has immunity to it.

            This is either sarcasm or disingenuous. More than 10% have the Covid-19 vaccine and while mutations make prior doses less effective, it’s not binary or on/off in effectiveness. I’m referring to vaccines as a whole and how extremely effective they are so long as everyone has them.

              85% in the region have one vaccination, which is useless after a year, and barely 15% has maintained annual vaccinations. And, no one is washing their hands after taking a shit any more.
