If you are upset about empty store shelves and you haven't been vaccinated, you're part of the reason they are empty.

Sounds vaguely familiar sorta like: the system was blinking red, and the FBI did not share intel with the CIA and vice versa, and then 9/11 happened ~
It's like many Federal employees presume federal taxes are only paid to ensure that they follow through with Grover Norquist's wet dreams?

THE BLACK-WHITE VACCINATION GAP MAY BE GONE BUT REPUBLICANS, WHITES STILL HESITANT
By rmrd0000 on Thu, 09/30/2021 - 5:16pm |
The Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF), one of the best sources for medical statistics, published its weekly COVID survey data, revealing that for the week of Sept. 13-22, 70 percent of African Americans have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. The Black vaccine rate is virtually identical to the 71 percent of white people who have been at least partially vaccinated. The Hispanic vaccination rate has surpassed both groups at 73 percent.
Polling data is considered to be more reflective of vaccination rates because CDC data is only available for 60 percent of the country but KFF’s data isn’t an outlier. Pew Research’s latest numbers show 70 percent of African Americans are at least partially protected from COVID via the vaccine, with whites at 72 percent, Hispanics at 76 percent and Asian Americans at 94 percent vaccinated. The CDC’s National Immunization Survey found 73 percent of Black adults, 76 percent of white adults, and 78 percent of Hispanic adults are vaccinated.
----------
The article goes on to say that white Republicans and white Evangelicals are the most vaccine resistant

[Note: fixed - PP]
Any possible reason you would post this as a separate news item and hog space when there is clearly a specialized thread in the news section labeled "Covid News" only a few stories down?
Beyond not really wanting to share with a team in learning anything about the Covid vaccination issue, and not really being interested in Covid, really being more interested in racializing a public health issue any which way possible?
Is it more to make sure us dummies at Dagblog see it (yes it's insulting to the intelligence of the members that share this website with you) and don't miss each and very cherry picked "proof" of yours that most people with black skin are virtuous and good, and white people are the cause of the nation's problems?
Do you really think we and the few lurkers here are that stupid that we don't see what you are doing by refusing teamwork on news and instead constantly pushing an agenda? That everyone doesn't see what drug you're pushing? How you manage to make almost every news story about Afro-Americans no matter what it's about?
How you have shown virtually zero interest for years in any news or history or entertainment about people with other colors of skin unless it is about how they are negatively affecting Afro-Americans?
Do you have even a scintilla of understanding about what it means to HONESTLY communicate with others? Or do you fantasize your preaching and condescension will be famous someday and not be considered as idiotic as it is now? Do you understand the phrase "lay all the cards on the table"? Do you even get the concept of integration? Are you an agent in support of segregation? Or racial seccession? You sure as hell never show any evidence of interest in learning about other tribes aside from 12.4 % of the U.S. population that you presume in your small racist bubble are all alike.

Merck says its new experimental COVID-19 pill cuts risk of death and hospitalization by half
German pharmaceutical company Merck & Co. said on Friday that findings from a recent study showed its experimental antiviral pill molnupiravir reduced hospitalizations and deaths by half in people who had recently been infected with COVID-19. The company says it will soon ask health officials around the world to authorize its use. If approved, it would become the first oral antiviral treatment for COVID-19. The study results, which were released by the company, have not been peer-reviewed.

Depending on which total you believe, we have either beat the death total from our Civil War, or are close to it. The percentage is different, of course.
We passed the American casualties for WWII a long time ago. And more than 12 times the American deaths from Vietnam..

I'd certainly be wary of being a guinea pig for this, I'd guess they don't know what the fuck they're doing and patients are truly guinea pigs. The thing to keep in mind with "novel" treatments is that these specialists aren't usually wholistic types and don't give a second thought to quality of life. You see glowing success stories in the media, i.e. "this quadriplegic can walk again" or some such, and those stories are the results of p.r. agents and they don't promote the stories of the treatments gone wrong, where the patient has a way worse life with more complications after the treatment than before.
(for some strange reason, though,.plastic surgeons don't get this benefit, people seem to love the stories of plastic surgery gone wrong, I guess that is schaudenfraude over the vanitas issue.)
