I’ll assume Sonic will not come in contact with any high-risk demographics as he selfishly waltzes through his vaccine-free life.

Head and neck cancers are starting to rise to a point where now they are going to start vaccinating boys as well for HPV. Look at the end of the day it likely other countries are going to declare you have to have it to enter. Their country their rules. Airlines aren’t gonna let you sit at home for the rest of your career with pay because you don’t want a vaccine.

As far as "The News," I get mine from multiple centrist sources. You?

Do much this none of us at the big three can survive this long term. As soon as the first one collapses the other two are in serious trouble. If one goes CH7 we are all in deep trouble as all of the other twos assists would be worthless the next day. Couple that with the stock beating you will take and we may be gone. Or we can take a shot act like adults and get the world moving again.

We have good, well tested immunizations against illnesses that - for the healthy (enough to pass a class 1) under 65 age group as a whole - are even more deadly than COVID for that demographic. Things like Diptheria, Tetanus, Hemophilus B, influenza....
Immunization rates - exclusive of those in the military - are fairly abysmal for these things.
Influenza Vaccination
- Influenza vaccination coverage for the 2016-17 season among adults aged >19 years was 45.4%, a 1.9 percentage points increase from the 2015-2016 season.
- In the 2016-17 season, coverage among white adults aged >19 years (48.2%) was higher than that for black (38.5%) and Hispanic adults (37.0%).
- Influenza vaccination coverage among adults aged >19 years with high-risk conditions was 59.7% in the 2016-17 season, similar to estimates for the 2015-16 season.
- Among adults aged >19 years with high-risk conditions, coverage was higher among white adults (61.4%) than Hispanic adults (52.0%).
Pneumococcal Vaccination
- Pneumococcal vaccination coverage among adults aged 19-64 years at increased risk for pneumococcal disease was 24.5% in 2017, similar to the estimate for 2016.
- Pneumococcal vaccination coverage among adults aged >65 years was 69.0% in 2017, similar to the estimate for 2016.
- Pneumococcal vaccination coverage among white adults aged >65 years was higher than that for adults of other racial/ethnic groups.
Herpes Zoster Vaccination
- Herpes zoster vaccination coverage was 34.9% among all adults aged >60 years, similar to the estimate for 2016.
- Compared with the estimates for 2016, herpes zoster vaccination coverage increased 10.0 percentage points among Asian adults but remained stable in all other racial/ethnic groups.
- White adults aged >60 years had higher herpes zoster vaccination coverage compared with adults of all other racial/ethnic groups.
Tetanus Vaccination (Td and Tdap)
- In 2017, the proportion of adults aged >19 years reporting having received any tetanus toxoid-containing vaccination during the past 10 years was 63.4%, similar to estimates for 2016.
- Among adults aged >19 years for whom Tdap vaccination could be assessed, Tdap vaccination in the past ten years increased from 2016 to 2017 overall and by age group.
- Among adults aged ≥19 years, white adults had higher coverage compared with black, Hispanic, and Asian adults for any tetanus vaccine and for Tdap vaccination.

It is unlikely the rate will be better for COVID -19 in children and young adults.
