The opposition to vaccinating and masks is a many splendored thing. Lots of people in the world don't vax or ignore precautions . Some of these are from your team, many are from mine. Here, from the peg o' your heart, the WaPo is an article that illustrates this conundrum. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/as-coronavirus-fears-spike-biden-e2-80-99s-ratings-sag-and-workers-split-on-vaccine-mandates-post-abc-poll-finds/ar-AAO6UpG Many who don't vax look at the vaxing demands to be. 1. Despite what the experts said, people are afraid of vaxing and still getting killed by Covid. This has been an news item.2. People see the effort as a governmental effort for control of the population. Given the progressive takeover of business and government, these fears are not insubstantial. Now what do I think about Biden's 30 billion? My response is...SOLD!! I am for it. I am not a libertarian. And I won't be one until we move to magic mass production tech like 3D printing and maybe Drelxer-stuff? Then, like Engel's & Marx spake, we will be able to have the means of productions in our own grubby hands. I don't think we can do Libertarianism successfully till that golden age. Sorry for the techno-economic diversion here. Yes, lets all vax, yes, lets fund for new badness to inevitably come.

Yes, everybody will need to get vaccinated, that's why the smallpox virus has gone extinct and why nobody needs to be vaccinated for smallpox anymore. They almost succeeded in making the polio virus go extinct too, but in Afghanistan the Taliban, just like Trump worshipers, don't like vaccinations and started killing the medical teams who were giving out vaccinations. So some children in Afghanistan still die or get paralyzed from polio. But Biden's $30 billion proposal wasn't meant to prevent any existing virus from spreading but from stopping a new unknown virus from turning into the next pandemic, after all 2 years ago nobody knew that COVID-19 existed, probably because 2 years ago it didn't. But Republicans felt that $30 billion was too much to pay just to prevent the next multi-trillion dollar mega-death producing pandemic, so they cut that figure in half, they figured our national security could be better enhanced by using the $15 billion that was saved and buy another aircraft carrier instead. We only have 20. John K Clark See what's on my new list at Extropolis xix -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
