The Liberals Who Can’t Quit Lockdown
Progressive communities have been home to some of the fiercest battles over COVID-19 policies, and some liberal policy makers have left scientific evidence behind.
"Lurking among the jubilant Americans venturing back out to bars and planning their summer-wedding travel is a different group: liberals who aren’t quite ready to let go of pandemic restrictions. For this subset, diligence against COVID-19 remains an expression of political identity—even when that means overestimating the disease’s risks or setting limits far more strict than what public-health guidelines permit."
“Those who are vaccinated on the left seem to think overcaution now is the way to go, which is making people on the right question the effectiveness of the vaccines,” Gandhi told me. Public figures and policy makers who try to dictate others’ behavior without any scientific justification for doing so erode trust in public health and make people less willing to take useful precautions. The marginal gains of staying shut down might not justify the potential backlash."
"Even as the very effective covid-19 vaccines have become widely accessible, many progressives continue to listen to voices preaching caution over relaxation. Anthony Fauci recently said he wouldn’t travel or eat at restaurants even though he’s fully vaccinated, despite CDC guidance that these activities can be safe for vaccinated people who take precautions."
"Scientists, academics, and writers who have argued that some very low-risk activities are worth doing as vaccination rates rise—even if the risk of exposure is not zero—have faced intense backlash."

Idiot liberals are not why we don't trust the vaccine. What a terrible, nonsensical straw-man argument. Anyone with any sense at all realizes the "vaccine" is still in clinical trials, and only foolhardy dum dums participate in clinical trials simply because of peer-pressure.
And when this guy says "very effective" what is the effect he's talking about? The fact that it doesn't prevent you from contracting covid and becoming ill, but only mitigates symptoms? We already had effective therapeutics. Or the fact that it doesn't actually prevent you from spreading it either? Lol. Go science!

I sure do thank them for their sacrifice. Lol.
the capitalists and the govt htey own thanks you for working during a pandemic instead of taking financial support to social distance.
99.992% of fully vaccinated people have dodged COVID, CDC data shows
No vaccine is 100% effective. But the COVID vaccines seem pretty darn good.
“Cases of COVID-19 are extremely rare among people who are fully vaccinated, according to a new data analysis by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.”
“The numbers suggest that breakthroughs occur at the teeny rate of less than 0.008 percent of fully vaccinated people—and that over 99.992 percent of those vaccinated have not contracted a SARS-CoV-2 infection.”

How many who were vaccinated had had covid before? Oh, I guess we don't know that number. How many vaccinated people have been tested and how often? If their symptoms are mitigated, could they be the asymptomatic carriers we've been lied to, er, warned about?
I think I'll refrain from believing that I'm getting the full story about the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine from the people who are trying to force it on me. Thanks though.

Sorry if I hurt your feelings. I didn't mean to suggest all liberals are idiots. I was just echoing the attitude of the author of the article. He was calling the liberals who don't want to open up idiots, he was just more diplomatic about it.

That's not financial assistance, that's your money you were lending the government.

Now, give us a breakdown of where that money went once it was handed to the rich.
