    Quite the vaccine. Rolled out in early 2021and then cases spiked in the summer of 2021. Then it just went away as people stopped taking the vaxx.

    I haven't had a cold or the flu in 2 years. I had Covid 3 times before that each time after partying my ball off in Vail. I took the 1 and done, non-.MRNA shot just to go to a fing football game and no other shots and will never take another. I'm not sure I've gone a single year let alone 2 without a cold in my life prior to this lucky run.

    This is what we were and still are faced with. Imagine thinking you were on the side of SCIENCE when you didn't bother to learn a phucking thing about the chicom crud and put your faith in untested mRNA vaccines that would never have been approved in a sane environment. Rogan knew more about the crud and the vaxx than St. Fow Chee. Remember the winter of severe illness and death that never materialized? Good times from the dementia patient's administration.

    IS THE NEW YORK TIMES A LIBERAL NEWSPAPER? OF COURSE IT IS: Is It Time to Stop Snubbing Your Right-Wing Family? The column was written by David Litt, a former Obama speechwriter whose smugness is almost as overwhelming as his boss:

    Not too long ago, I felt a civic duty to be rude to my wife’s younger brother.

    I met Matt Kappler in 2012, and it was immediately clear we had nothing in common. He lifted weights to death metal; I jogged to Sondheim. I was one of President Barack Obama’s speechwriters and had an Ivy League degree; he was a huge Joe Rogan fan and went on to get his electrician’s license. My early memories of Matt are hazy — I was mostly trying to impress his parents. Still we got along, chatting amiably on holidays and at family events.

    Then the pandemic hit, and our preferences began to feel like more than differences in taste. We were on opposite sides of a cultural civil war. The deepest divide was vaccination. I wasn’t shocked when Matt didn’t get the Covid shot. But I was baffled. Turning down a vaccine during a pandemic seemed like a rejection of science and self-preservation. It felt like he was tearing up the social contract that, until that point, I’d imagined we shared.

    Had Matt been a friend rather than a family member, I probably would have cut off contact completely. As it was, on the rare and always outdoor occasions when we saw each other, I spoke in disapproving snippets.

    “Work’s been good?”

    “Mhrmm.”

    My frostiness wasn’t personal. It was strategic. Being unfriendly to people who turned down the vaccine felt like the right thing to do. How else could we motivate them to mend their ways?
