Worth noting, we currently have a higher infection rate than the USA and a higher rate of vaccinated people. The US have more people dying and in hospital comparatively as well. The indication being that the vaccine provides some assistance in making you less ill when you get covid. Not unlike the flu jab.

In the US it's not so much medical it's being played out as the right to choose and individual freedoms, Plus the Jab like the mask, lockdowns and even if Covid is real is being divided by political lines.

Ironic that, following his election, he was praised for being "woke".

Still a step up from being criminally narcissistic, divisive and ignorant, IMHO

In RaWZ we trust....Amen.
The 675,000 Covid deaths now matches the figure for the Spanish Flu Pandemic of 1918/19.
Fully Vaccination rate is around 56%

The ban on UK & EU visitors is being lifted in November.

A low bar set there Stroudy. Besides, Trump has gone. Sleepy is in office now. It’s him we need to be concerned about.

Think the main difference Al is that Trump's VP was even more dangerous than he was - contrast Pence to eminently able and inclusive VP Biden has in Kamala Harris.
