The US has now had over 55,000 children hospitalized with Covid, most in last couple months

Very sobering numbers.

That's the cdc pushing for earlier vaccinations for kids under 12

@ElwoodBlues Joe screwed up covid just like he screwed up Afghanistan. And he started with a vaccine. What a worthless POS
@carpediem [quote]Joe screwed up covid [/quote] Interesting. What do [i]you[/i] think a president should do about those who refuse vaccine?
carpediem · 61-69, M
@ElwoodBlues You fool. He had a vaccine to start his presidency due to Trump. He screwed it up by limited access in the initial stages to the very people who are now getting it and spreading it. More people now have it than under Trump.

But... he had a plan. THIS is the plan? He said he'd get a handle on it. He screwed it up just like the border, just like Afghanistan, just like everything he incompetent boob touches.

@carpediem Actually, the vaccine most widely available in the US, the Pfizer vaccine, was not developed with Op Warp Speed money. Pfizer developed it on their own, tested on their own, and sold the final product to us.

And the vaccines were [i]all[/i] distributed to states according to population. Each state made its own decision about the order in which different groups would get it. The states acted similarly with their allocations, but there was no central control. I have [i]no idea[/i] why vaccine refusniks tended to be white conservatives, but my data says they are.

@ElwoodBlues @ElwoodBlues Was there a vaccine when Bumblin' Joe took office? Yes. There were three. So where are we now after he implemented his "plan"? We're worst off than before. But feel free to blame EVERYONE else.

Biden screwed it up. You can pretend all you want. But I know it, you likely know it but are too much of a committed lefty to admit it, and everyone else knows it. Let's face it....he screwed up everything he touched. Border being the first, Afghanistan being the latest.

And I don't blame Bud for blocking you.
@carpediem [quote]. So where are we now after he implemented his "plan"? We're worst off than before. [/quote] No, we're far better off than before. The people filling the hospitals are 29 to 1 unvaccinated.
[b]CDC [/b]study: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7034e5.htm?s_cid=mm7034e5_w
[b]Here[/b] it is in the popular press: "Unvaccinated individuals are 29 times more likely to be hospitalized from COVID-19, CDC says"
https://www.foxnews.com/health/unvaccinated-individuals-29-more-likely-hospitalized-covid

As WV Gov Jim Justice says:
[quote]“We’ve got to someway realize that we’ve got to get vaccinated for all – not just for you, but for everybody – we’ve got to do this,” Gov. Justice said. “We can stop a lot of this terrible, terrible carnage.” [/quote]

The only people who are worse off than before are those who politicized the vaccine.

@ElwoodBlues LOL... we're worst off based on numbers. WAY worst off. Joe had a plan remember? The people spreading and being hospitalized are largely the vast numbers Bumblin Joe didn't open for vaccination initially.

YOU are politicizing the vaccine. Biden and the left politicized the virus AND vaccine. Perhaps you recall Kamala Harris claiming she'd would get it because it was developed under Trump.

Come on kid. Get with the program. Pay attention. Joe had a plan. More people are getting now under the worst Trump situation BEFORE there was a vaccine. 🙄
@carpediem [quote]we're worst off based on numbers. WAY worst off.[/quote] What numbers would those be?

My numbers say total US infection rates now are 150K per day; under Trump they peaked at 250K per day. What do [i]your[/i] numbers say?

@swirlie he tried to tease me, and I was rather enjoying teasing him - in a friendly manner, of course! He kept trying to tease, but he couldn't take what he dished out. Couple weeks ago he told me I was dead to him. Then he started responding to my posts again and I asked if I had risen from the dead to him, LOL!!

Alas poor Buddy, we hardly knew ye!

@iamonfire696 And was that, in the immortal words of Jane Austen, "a consummation devoutly to be wished"?

@ElwoodBlues Why is Biden permitting the illegal aliens to be sent all over the US without being vaxxed?
