I guess I have to ask: Why would you not be willing to face up to your fears, and take actions that are so obviously low risk and of minor inconvenience in service to the people of this country?

By behaving like short-sighted selfish bratty children, which puts their families and their friends and their neighbors in danger, "conservatives" are showing us just how shallow and phony their "patriotism" is.


The United States is averaging about half a million new coronavirus vaccinations per day for the first time since June, officials with the White House covid-19 response team said Thursday.

During an afternoon news briefing, the team praised the nation’s vaccination progress. Task force head Jeffrey Zients noted that the average number of 12-to-17-year-olds getting the shots has doubled in the past month as students return to classrooms.

States with the highest virus case rates have made the greatest strides in increasing immunizations, he said. The average number of shots given per day has nearly tripled in Arkansas and quadrupled in Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi in the past month.

“We’re getting more shots in arms in the places that need them the most,” Zients said. “That’s what it’s going to take to end this pandemic: more vaccinations, more Americans doing their part and rolling up their sleeve.”

The vaccination news comes as the nation continues to experience an increase in coronavirus cases, hospitalizations and deaths. Ninety percent of U.S. counties are now experiencing substantial or high transmission of the virus, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Rochelle Walensky said.

“Those at highest risk remain people who have not yet been vaccinated,” she noted.
