Sorry, Democrats. Tulsi Gabbard Says Elderly Should Get COVID Vaccine First - Facebook Safe

Now that we have vaccines for the coronavirus, there is a debate about who gets to go first. The CDC has its guidelines. Some have a broad definition of what essential worker means. There are also governors like Andrew Cuomo. People might say he has a questionable sense of priorities. I have many more opinions on the matter. Please note the words "Facebook Safe" in this title. There could very well be another version of this post somewhere on this site. Sadly, we still need to parley with the Facebook censors for the time being. That sentence might be another clue.

For now, let's focus on these direct comments from Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard. Unlike some of her colleagues, Gabbard said she is going to wait her turn for the vaccine. She also has what some may call a crazy idea that our most vulnerable should go first.

Because the vaccines have not been scientifically established to prevent transmission of the virus, vaccinating large numbers of young people before our seniors will likely hasten the spread of the disease. The only way to prevent this disaster is by vaccinating frontline healthcare workers/first responders and those over 65, before vaccinating over younger, healthy workers; and by clearly informing every individual that getting the vaccine will not keep them from being able to infect others.

"Clearly informing" is the sticky wicket here. The belief over most of 2020 was that the vaccine would be a miracle cure. Some of that I feel can be blamed on the people building it up as such. Some of it can also be wishful thinking on the behalf of people who want their lives back. Most of you reading this probably find that understandable. If you're not in that group yourself. 2020 has sucked eight ways from Sunday. We all want to get back to normal.

That's not how vaccines work. Don't quote me on this because I'm not a scientist. But I'm of the impression they don't cure you as much as they make it easier for your body to fight off viruses. That's why people like Tulsi Gabbard feel our elderly should be among the first to go. If only there were sciencey people who could explain things to the American people better.

Sorry, Liberals: Florida and Georgia Show a DECREASE in COVID-19 Cases

Sorry, Liberals: Florida and Georgia Show a DECREASE in COVID-19 Cases

If you've watched cable news or know any leftists on social media, you've seen a lot of angry posts about Georgia and Florida, particularly their Republican governors, who are recklessly ignoring science to reopen their states and not caring that they're making the people who live there at risk of catching COVID-19. AKA the New York City Virus (see REPORT: LOOKS LIKE NYC MIGHT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SPREADING COVID NATION-WIDE and BILL DE BLASIO GETS CALLED OUT FOR BEING A FAILURE IN HANDLING CORONAVIRUS).

There was going to be a SURGE in 'rona cases thanks to these conservative Christian MAGA-loving Trump-supporting Southern governors who care more about the stock market than about people's lives. "THEY JUST WANT HAIRCUTS" is another popular critique that gets tossed around. Here's the rub, though. At least as of now, the facts and science don't back up the liberal attacks. It's actually been the opposite.

Some of the states that skeptics were most worried about, including Florida and Georgia, haven't seen the rise in total cases that some experts feared.

Florida's new cases actually declined by 14% compared to the previous week, and Georgia's fell by 12%.

Here's a theory for leftists to disregard completely. Maybe the people who run Florida and Georgia have a better sense of what needs to be done in Florida and Georgia than someone from outside Florida and Georgia. At least more so than a blogger from Park Slope or anyone who works for the media in Washington, D.C. Maybe, just maybe, it's possible to look at the NEW data that has come out over the past month and decide that maybe it's time to reopen some places of business at 25% capacity if the people who go there wear masks. Or don't. Choices.

Because again, Georgia and Florida (as well as other states) didn't just turn the economy back on and tell everyone to go wild out in the streets. They're still being overly cautious and slowly getting things back to normal. But it's time to get back to normal. The REAL normal. None of the "new normal" jive.
