"After vaccination burnout, Delta variant spurs countries to speed up shots"

WHAT a stupid tagline to put in an article title— “vaccination burnout.”

What does that even mean? It implies that everyone who takes the vax road needs to get jabbed weekly or even daily. Hence...BURNOUT! AH, no. Honestly now, there are only, at most, two shots total to any vaccination.

The Reuters article is good mind you. My only quibble is with that phrase in the header. OK, that and the pretty girl model pic, crying as she gets her jab. OH please! The shot wasn’t any more painful than any other damn one. In fact, I didn’t feel mine at all. Is the column editor an anti-vaxxer and looked for the most heart jerking photo he/she could find? Something that could reassure his/her fellow anti-vaxxers that their choice to spread a potentially lethal disease was, like, totally understandable?

At its current, declining pace, 70% of the U.S. population (we won't have hit the 70% goal) will not receive a first dose of vaccine until Dec. 1, according to the Reuters analysis of Our World in Data vaccination figures.

Canada, Chile, the United Kingdom, and eight others will reach that benchmark (70% vaccinated) before the end of the month. And if the current pace is maintained, five more countries will hit 70% by the end of August. (source)

At least 70% of the population needs to be vaccinated in order to achieve herd immunity—we may never reach that.

States like Tennessee lead the self-culling charge by making it illegal for healthcare folks to provide medical info—like immunizations—to kids between the ages of 14 and 18 without parental consent. COVID is targeted but other medical issues aren’t excluded. (think measles and polio vaccines)

I wonder if the Trumpists know that their lord and idiot got vaccinated months and months ago? The turtle got his jab too .

If the health department must issue any information about vaccines, staff are instructed to strip the agency logo off the documents.

Additionally, the health department will take steps to ensure it no longer sends postcards or other notices reminding teenagers to get their second dose of the coronavirus vaccines.  (source)

Fer fuck’s sake, how short sighted can you be? Tennessee’s a red state. If you kill off your future voters how much longer will you have a high paying, low effort gig?
