I think they’ll say anything to get you vaccinated. We know, and even the CDC has said it, that it is less virulent but spreads faster. Sounds like a good case for Herd Immunity.
Vaccination should not be a partisan issue. It hurts the Republican brand that many conservatives embraced the anti-vaxxer movement, which is lunatic fringe rooted in bunko faith healers and the like.
Remember that Trump got us the vaccines, not Biden.
As for Fauci protecting a ChiCom laboratory where the breakout occured, he needs to be held accountable.
