Only 60-Some Million To Go...

Joe O'Biden read off the TelePrompTer the other day that all but about 67 million of us are vaccinated.  Against the dreaded Wuhan Chinese Killer Coronavirus, if you've forgotten.

And he says those recalcitrant "few" should run right down and get the shot because, until then, they are a danger to the vaccinated.  Ummm, wha?  Now, that goes against science, but then again, so has a lot of stuff O'Biden has uttered.

So we'll just mark that one up as another gaffe.  In a sea of O'Biden gaffes.  Truth is, as we all know, the unvaxxed are no danger to the vaxxed.  They are most assuredly a danger to each other, but not to us (if you're fully vaxxed, that is).  In fact, I'd say that we're in a pandemic of the unvaxxinated.  They're infecting each other.  And will continue to do so until or unless we've actually achieved that elusive "herd" immunity, as Dr. "TV" Fauci used to talk about (why doesn't he talk about that anymore?), or the virus wanes and goes into hiding, only to possibly arise once again at some later date.

Like the regular old flu does every fall.

One could stand back and say that the first 200 million or so of us were pretty easy to get, starting with Trump's "Operation Warp Speed" last year.  That's where the vaccine came from, if you've forgotten.  In fact, O'Biden should bow down to Trump every day, thanking him for forcing through the development of the vaxx  and then its administration.  Without it his uber-rocky start would be made mucho worse.

So exactly who is it that's holding out, Mr. Chuckmeister?  Who is it that's refusing to get the "jab" and thus, we're told, putting all their friends and neighbors at risk?  Except the 200 million or so of us who are fully vaxxed (except those with compromised immune systems).  Well, fellow Patriots, the answer is not an easy one, nor is it easy to fix.  There's a lot of folks out there that are dead-set against the vaxx and so far has refused to get it.  Who are they?  Ready?  Here goes...  

     -  7th Day Adventists:  All 1.5 million of them.  They are against any form of medical intervention.  By anyone.  At all.  Including vaccinations.  They will never submit.  Live with it.

     -  The Amish (and all the others who drive buggies*):  Want to try and drag these folks in for a shot?  They don't even have TV sets.  There's another half million or so.

     -  U. S. Navy Seals:  600 of the 2,500 U. S. Navy Seals, whom we train at the cost of more than $1 Million Dollars each, are refusing vaccination.  And will be forcibly (and dishonorably) discharged from the service at the end of November if they don't get it.  Is this the dumbest goddam thing you've ever heard?  

     -  U. S. Service Members:  Millions of them.  See above.

     -  The Homeless:  Ummm, yeah.  How many of them are there?  100,000?  200,000?  500,000?  Who knows.  But they've got to be vaxxed in order to make Joe happy.  I can't wait for the White House's "outreach to the homeless" program to unfold...

     -  Nosocomophobia Sufferers:  A big word for those who are afraid of hospitals and shots and doctors and nurses and the smell of rubbing alcohol.

     -  Those Why Believe Carmala and Good Ol' Joe:  They convinced their followers last summer when they went all over TV and blathered that we should have nothing to do with this vaccine, or the nasty cheeseburger-eater who created it.  Stay away, she told us!  And a yuuuuge % of Black folks are staying away as a result.  

     -  Southwest Airlines Pilots:  Just a small percentage of their pilots deciding to get sick in the same week shut this airline down.  Can't wait to see what happens when all of them are on the ground. 

     -  Chicago Cops:  We're told that Mayor Lorie (Beetlejuice) Lightfoot's order that cops must upload their vaccination data via computer by the end of October, violates their Union's Collective Bargaining Agreement.  And some 30% of them are planning to stay out.  From a dramatically depleted force, due to previous defunding efforts and the Virus itself.  That should work out well.   

These are but a few of the many examples we're sure to hear about over the coming days and weeks.  Like I'm fond of saying, bring it on Joe!  Only by your continuing to prove yourself by your actions - and lack of actions - to be the single dumbest and least capable POTUS in the entire history of these here United states, will the idiots who voted you in to office come to realize the error of their ways...
