About that pandemic of the unvaccinated...all children under 12 are not #vaccinated ,and try as you might to twist yourself into a pretzel of denial, kids are getting really sick with #DeltaVariant:
#DeltaVariant is the tip of the variant iceberg. It will take a multilayered strategy to stop this. You may think throwing caution to the wind is your individual choice, but it puts all kids (and more!) at risk.
What will it take for our federal government to do the one thing it is supposed to do: protect our people?
We need a federal mask mandate and nationwide remote learning until we can suppress #DeltaVariant
"...research also shows that even if masking is required in all schools, if there no other mitigation strategies, she still expects 40% of elementary school students to be infected within three months."
This (as well as rise of faux-populist Trump) is what happens when DNC manipulates primaries to ignore base, squash the left & wking class, & support/promote only centrists. #NotMeUs saw this coming from miles away because we'd been on the ground talking to voters since 2016.
When I asked one Obama voter about other candidates during 2020 Sanders campaign, she told me Harris was "like new Coke. You can't try to fool people that she's like Obama any more than you could fool people to drink new Coke." I've never forgotten that.
I really really really really worry about midterms.😲
So, if I were the president, here's what I would do about Covid:

1. Pay people to get vaxxed. This is cheapest, fastest way to get numbers up. Consider it another stimulus tied to vaccinating. (and retroactive!) If corporate America balked, I'd tell them to sit down.
Next, I'd just completely stop trying to squash ivermectin. Other countries use it for Covid. Pretending half the country doesn't know about it (& possibly already have it) is dumb. Drs use drugs off-label all the time. It has a 40 yr safety record. We need all weapons for delta.
Some ways to survive the next few days without going insane.
