As predicted, nothing in Biden's plan will accomplish anything other than to further & dangerously divide the nation

Interestingly, some data from the UK came out today that refutes everything in his plan (other than increasing treatments which is of course good)

Let's look...

1. "Vaccinating the Unvaccinated" (mandates for workplaces)

Case rates are comparable or higher in vaccinated adults than unvaccinated.

Seems like it should be a personal choice given it clearly doesn't stop transmission.

2. "Protecting the Vaccinated"

Ugh, isn't that what the vaccine is for?

Anyway, the data looks decent, though nothing like what we were promised.

As the prior chart demonstrates, transmission is not stopped by the vaccine anyhow, meaning it offers personal protection only.

3. "Keeping Schools Safely Open"

Just open the doors and say "school is open"

Teachers are vaccinated (if they want it) and kids, vaccinated or not, have effectively zero risk -- certainly less than vaccinated adults as the chart shows.

4. "Increasing Testing & Requiring Masking"

Total case rates in 0-18 are comparable to that of 18-39 despite UK dropping masks on children while still recommending them to the general public. And given their mass testing of kids, you would expect the case rate to be even higher.

5. "Protecting Our Economic Recovery"

Just go away. That's all it takes.

There are currently 2.2 million more job openings than unemployed people, the highest number ever recorded. Ever is a long time.

I know this has nothing to do with the UK data. Sorry.

6. "Improving Care for those with COVID-19"

The only good thing on the list. And stolen from @GovRonDeSantis after first attacking him for it with a fake smear campaign.
