My point is why is everybody ignoring immunity through natural infection as if that is no valid. Everybody is acting as if vaccination is the only way to obtain immunity.
Who's ignoring? Natural immunity has always been great, as long as you can survive it with no long term effects.

Millions die from car crashes. Everybody stop driving your car!!
It's not binary. What people usually end up doing is choosing something in between, like taking a preventive measure, like wearing a seatbelt(or taking a vaccine).

The MSM and almost all of the governments across the world are ignoring it.
What would you like them to say that's not being said?

Wajahat Ali: 'Republicans Have Become A Pro-Death Party'

As unvaccinated Americans make up the majority of Covid-19 hospitalizations, Tennessee has halted outreach for all vaccines, including Covid vaccines, to minors. Daily Beast columnist Wajahat Ali joins American Voices with Alicia Menendez to discuss what this reveals of the impact of the politicized pandemic and what this says about how far Republicans will go to keep their base.

A while ago I made a comment about how many Greek letters there are (24) and that leaves a lot of letters to be used for variants of Covid-19.
Well, we now have another letter being used, leaving 21 more available for use.
A major Texas hospital system has reported its first case of the lambda COVID-19 variant, as the state gets fucked up from the delta variant.

Houston Methodist Hospital in Texas, which operates eight hospitals in its network, said the first lambda case was confirmed Monday.
The lambda variant was first detected in Peru in December 2020, according to the World Health Organization and makes up 81% of COVID-19 cases sequenced in that country since April 2021, according to a June WHO report. Currently, WHO designates lambda as a "variant of interest", which means here comes more shit.
Fuck me, I'm very tired of this.
Enough already.

Try to stay safe, wear a mask/get vaccinated & stay away from Texans (they suck anyway, your not missing anything :) )

US life expectancy in 2020 saw biggest drop since WWII

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. life expectancy fell by a year and a half in 2020, the largest one-year decline since World War II, public health officials said Wednesday. The decrease for both Black Americans and Hispanic Americans was even worse: three years.

The drop spelled out by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is due mainly to the COVID-19 pandemic, which health officials said is responsible for close to 74% of the overall life expectancy decline. More than 3.3 million Americans died last year, far more than any other year in U.S. history, with COVID-19 accounting for about 11% of those deaths.

Black life expectancy has not fallen so much in one year since the mid-1930s, during the Great Depression. Health officials have not tracked Hispanic life expectancy for nearly as long, but the 2020 decline was the largest recorded one-year drop.

The abrupt fall is “basically catastrophic,” said Mark Hayward, a University of Texas sociology professor who studies changes in U.S. mortality.

Killers other than COVID-19 played a role. Drug overdoses pushed life expectancy down, particularly for whites. And rising homicides were a small but significant reason for the decline for Black Americans, said Elizabeth Arias, the report's lead author.

Other problems affected Black and Hispanic people, including lack of access to quality health care, more crowded living conditions, and a greater share of the population in lower-paying jobs that required them to keep working when the pandemic was at its worst, experts said.

Lol sounds good, until you extrapolate that into over 600,000 actual humans dying, some of which might be your loved ones, lol.
I'm a results guy. I try not to jump to conclusions. I like to see all sides of an issue before measuring the good and bad. Sure six hundred thousand less Americans means less cars on the road, less fresh water used, less trash in landfills etc, etc, etc. All things I have been promoting most of my life. But since the son of a bitch killed John Prine I have had a hard time seeing the good in this pandemic.

A couple of three days ago I was searching the truck radio for something to listen to. Came across Glen Beck on Fox News, so I gave him a few minutes. He said that President Joe Rob was so smart and such an evil man, he knew the GOP faithful would do the opposite of what he said, so he is actively trying to kill conservatives by telling them to get the vaccine. Hard to counter that kind of logic.
