We can't trust the government now. We couldn't trust it before either, but we also can't trust it now.
The sad thing is, there actually used to be some areas in which you could trust the government. You could trust the CDC for health information, the FDIC with your money, the FDA for food regulations, the USPS to deliver your mail..
Nowadays, everything good about government will be getting axed and everything bad amplified. But what can you do~
I used to not trust the government.
I still do not trust the government, but I used to, too.
You especially can't trust it now.
We can trust that they will do the absolute worst thing instead of not knowing if they will or won't!
Very true.
I would wait for a Canada or EU approved vaccine.
Will they require people to be vaccinated to travel if they're explicitly traveling there to be vaccinated?
Fun question. Unfortunately, I assume yes. They used to check your vaccination status before granting you entry at the border/airport.
What with how Trump is pulling out of WHO and deregulating the chicken industry, if the avian flu becomes transmissible to humans, it will make COVID-19 look like childsplay. At which point things may get so dire vaccine hesitancy is likely to get you killed, and I'd probably recommend a quick plane trip to Canada to get vaccinated, if that's even still an option..
I'd be surprised if they offered any vaccine.
Oh, you won't have to worry about that. With RFK Jr. running things, there won't be a vaccine.
Well, it won't be Covid-25, it'll be H5N1 bird flu, which so far has a mortality rate of 50%-60% in people and damn near 100% in birds and 70% in cats. Covid-19 was around 1% and killed millions.
Even if bird flu is more around 30%, that's an insane number.
The bird flu vaccine has mostly been developed and iirc is available in some European countries. We have a vaccine here too but it hasn't gone to trial.
If you get that vaccine or not may very well be life or death.
Herman Cain Award will prove you wrong, along w people believing this is like Moses and the mark on the door - they won't think they will die from it. There are just people who cannot acknowledge reality.
