I've booked my booster shot for Dec 16.  I will be less likely to catch Covid, be much less likely to get bad symptoms or 'long covid' if I do catch it, less likely to die from a breakthrough case of covid, less likely to pass it on to my immune-compromised partner, less likely to be the 'petri dish' for a new mutation.  The possibility of long Covid symptoms alone should be enough to make everyone want to be as vaxxed as possible.

Reducing all these risks is the only sensible thing to do.

Dave
Yeah but you wont be 3 times as likely to die from covid as those from red counties in the US. You won't be owning the libs and you won't be taking one for the team...

Vast Majority of Republicans Won't Get Boosted

Assuming they're even vaccinated...
"In the new Kaiser poll, just 36% of Republicans overall said they would get the booster. This is significantly less than the 77% of Democrats."
"For comparison, the same Kaiser poll found that 85% of all Democrats were fully vaccinated and 55% of all Republicans were."
"This means that the partisan gap on boosters was 11 points higher than it was on becoming vaccinated and that spread was already pretty wide."

Chris Cuomo over at CNN........

Posted By Rod Kaufman

And why was Cuomo fired? He gave advice to his own brother! OMG! Obviously guilty in the court of CNN! 
Of course, the cons and Faux News had no problem with Jeanine Pirro running to Donald Trump for what was one of his final official acts when she got him to pardon her hubby. At least the guy had already done his time. Given what the propagandists at Faux News serve out on a daily basis, cons have no business pointing fingers...
PS: IF anyone doesn't think the GOP is politicizing the coronavirus, they're out of their gordes...

GOP Rep Dan Crenshaw Drops Hammer On Trumptoids In Congress

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"There's two types of Members of Congress: There's performance artists and legislators. The performance artists are the ones that get all the attention, the ones you think are more conservative because they know how to say slogans real well, they know how to recite the lines that they know our voters want to hear."
"He then goes on to cite data suggesting that Illinois Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger, an outspoken critic of Donald Trump, was actually one of the most loyal supporters of the then-President's agenda in 2017 and 2018, during the 115th Congress when Republicans held both the House and Senate majorities."
"Then Crenshaw drops the hammer, noting that the House Freedom Caucus members were some of the least loyal to Trump's agenda. "All of them," Crenshaw insisted."

The Fastest Economic Recovery In History

And then they actually dropped the unemployment number to 4.2 or 4.7 or some idiotic number because they ignored the fact that 4 MILLION Americans completely dropped out of the workforce which they no longer count.  

They are snowing economic illiterates everywhere out there, and then they lie and say "well, hourly wages are UP".  

Sure they are, but they are offset by the massive inflation that is occurring which isn't "temporary" as Joe Biden and his folks have lied about.  Real wages are going down because costs of EVERYTHING in life is going through the roof.

Autos, food, heating, building products, gas, every type of energy, you name it and its gone up, and not just piddly amounts.  We're talking 10, 20, 30% and more.

When leftists tell you inflation is at 6%, its really at about 15% or MORE across the board because they've pulled so many commodities, goods, and services OUT  of the inflation calculator over the past decade that they are giving YOU and those like you a smokescreen which you happily buy into.  

Even Janet Yellin admitted that this massive inflation isn't anywhere near temporary.

Honest estimates are that we won't recover from the Biden tax and spend (more than any other President in history) policies until the end of 2023,  at which point Medicare will most likely be bankrupt, because they are estimating that to occur by 2025, and leftist economic fools like You and the rest who haven't the brainpower to get it, think we can just keep adding people to the public dole continuously until the end of time.

Get a clue and educate Yourself instead of listening to the lies that you're being fed and buying into Biden's bullshit.  wink

 
If medicare goes under, it'll be the GOP's doing and they'll pay dearly for it. And nobody's going to believe your BS that it's somehow the fault of the Democrats. We wouldn't even have medicare if it weren't for the Democrats. Meanwhile, the supply and demand issue, which directly affects inflation, is now easing:

The Fastest Economic Recovery In History

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Oh Itchy Richie:
Breaking news: "Weekly claims for unemployment benefits dropped to a new, multi-decade low last week, the Labor Department reported Thursday."
"At 184,000 claims, adjusted for seasonal swings, it was the lowest level of initial claims since September 1969, when the figure stood at 182,000.
It was also a lower count than economists had predicted. It's further proof that America's jobs recovery is pushing ahead this winter, with employers vying for staff and workers having plenty of jobs to choose from. Companies are still have a hard time keeping up with the buoyant demand for goods and services, not least because they are struggling to find workers."

The Fastest Economic Recovery In History

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"Under Biden, the American economy has recovered from its Trump-era lows with remarkable speed. Just a year ago, the unemployment rate sat stubbornly at 6.7 percent. Today, only 4.2 percent of Americans are out of work. Similar economic recoveries have normally taken three times as long."
"More important for Democrats is that this isn’t a “paper recovery,” where unemployment rates fall because more Americans simply give up looking for work.

Fourteen GOPSenators Join Dems To Break Filibuster On Debt

Posted By Rod Kaufman

And do the right thing:
https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/09/politics/republicans-broke-debt-ceiling-filibuster/index.html
"McConnell faced pushback from former President Trump — who blasted him saying the “old crow,” his preferred nickname for the GOP leader, “is a disaster.”
What, for raising the debt ceiling to cover the mega spending that Trump initiated?
 I guess in Trump's view, sinking the economy in a catastrophic default is a sure way to get elected...
