I've said it over and over again, a second year veterinary student could have handled this epidemic better than Fauci et al.
I think it was handled the way they wanted it handled. The whole thing was run very effectively in my opinion.
I remember how the vax was rolled out. First there was not enough, oh, everyone wanted some. But the authorities had to ration it only to the most vulnerable! Some rascals fibbed a little to sneak a dose and get theirs!
There were PSAs endlessly. Then the authorities breathlessly announced that they were opening up the vax to more categories! Oh, hallelujah!! People waited fearfully, praying at night that their category would soon be approved for the vax.
Finally, it was opened up to all!!! Throngs of people waited hours to get their shot. Oh, we’re saved. Then the PSAs started targeting people by culture. The first where I’m at was an old cowboy with a southern drawl. Next was the American Indian... talking about how he maintained the chain of oral history for his people and how important it was to get the vax for his community.
Then the kids were authorized, there was less fanfare.
Then the bribes, lottery ticket for vax, sports tickets, $100.
Then the threats to your lively hood came. The social stigma.
Next come the beatings in public.
This whole thing sounds like a dystopian movie!
But Delta and Omicron both popped up in regions with low vaccination rates.
