Fuck Rand Paul, that perfect example of how fucked up the GOP is
That's what happens when narcissists think they're experts at everything. Working in congress isn't so different from being a manager, where the job should really just be about delegating and making sure those you delegate to have what they need to be successful. The only thing an eye-doctor-turned-politician has any business doing is asking someone like Fauci to explain the situation, not to effing challenge him on it like he knows anything about viruses.

The ex-Pfizer scientist who became an anti-vax hero
Michael Yeadon was a scientific researcher and vice president at drugs giant Pfizer Inc. He co-founded a successful biotech. Then his career took an unexpected turn.
Late last year, a semi-retired British scientist co-authored a petition to Europe’s medicines regulator. The petitioners made a bold demand: Halt COVID-19 vaccine clinical trials.
Even bolder was their argument for doing so: They speculated, without providing evidence, that the vaccines could cause infertility in women.
The document appeared on a German website on Dec.1. Scientists denounced the theory. Regulators weren’t swayed, either: Weeks later, the European Medicines Agency approved the European Union’s first COVID-19 shot, co-developed by Pfizer Inc. But damage was already done.
Social media quickly spread exaggerated claims that COVID-19 jabs cause female infertility. Within weeks, doctors and nurses in Britain began reporting that concerned women were asking them whether it was true, according to the Royal College of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists. In January, a survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF), a non-profit organization, found that 13% of unvaccinated people in the United States had heard that “COVID-19 vaccines have been shown to cause infertility.”

One person can cause so much damage.

Disastrous Trump Covid Response Runs Deeper Than Mere Mismanagement
Rachel Maddow looks at how on Trump official, Michael Caputo, not only scandalized the CDC by corrupting their communications on Covid, but also turns up in connection to Russian efforts to manipulate the 2020 election in Donald Trump's favor.

Here we go again, exponential growth, seeing more and more reports of vaccinated people testing positive and spreading covid to relatives and friends. The vaccines seem to make it less deadly but infections continue, so much for getting back to normal.

Things getting worse fast again in NL too. 
That’s without latest update of: 7400 cases, almost double of daily amount a month ago. Only 2 mil jabs so far (on 17 mil people). Lockdown and evening curfew still in effect, non-essential stores still closed. Major contributor is having opened schools again in combi with british variant.
Last year the first wave ended in May, but people were more scared and careful back then. Despite the slow start, it’s expected everyone (who wants it) will be vaccinatedby July. The new dutch vaccin (Janssen) will make that target just slightly more realistic... or less unrealistic.

ICUs in France are full again, the average age in them is 55, so much for it's just killing the old. Quick, someone get me a puppy and a pic of a rainbow.

I can beat that.
How about Fred Rogers wearing a Bob Ross shirt getting a hug from Steve Irwin under a rainbow?

As the old are vaccinated it will give them enough protection to stay out of the ICU with the new strains, some of them are more virulent than others and the average ages in ICU's should go down too. The average age of ICU patients going down seems to prove vaccines are effective with new strains since many of the elderly were vaccinated or were first in line.

Vaccine roll out in Canada and Europe is a fraction of the US numbers, expect different results. Joe already has 100 million vaccinated and there were 25 million infected (natural immunity), we are in a race against the variants.
