If it comes down to it, society will just move on without them, and then they'll scramble to adjust their stance so as to not be left behind in a cloud of irrelevant dust. You ought to see how quickly the CA governor has changed his tune after the recall campaign really got going.

For sure on that. And in my little local bubble it wasn't just "Trumpers" signing the petition. I think Newsome started to figure that out.

several states put Airline crew in group 1B with other groups (NY and Illinois are 2 that I know of) other states are keeping it for elderly and healthcare workers.

All the “no’s” remind me of the difference between doctors and bureaucratic scientists.

You come into your doctor, in a few minutes have a prescription that most likely with cure your problem. If not, come back and we do some tests and/or try something different.

The bureaucratic scientist runs an exhaustive set of tests, right off the bat. Once the results come back, they are still not absolutely certain, at least not 100%. They want to study it some more.

Since when is any government rational? This entire episode has proven, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that government is anything BUT rational.

Even the ScYaNcE is starting to prove what we thought all along. The vaccines work like they did for nearly every other disease out there and do indeed reduce the spread as well as protecting those vaccinated against infection or at least severe symptomatic cases.

It's a matter of time before the stupid "keep masking and social distancing after being vaccinated" messages from politicians has to stop. They FoLlOw ThE ScYaNcE after all right?

Security theater continued even after we killed bin Laden. The terrorists are still out there after all, since we found and/or made more. Why should covid theater ever stop? It's fashionable to wear a mask these days. Plus it can't hurt, just like those thousands of man hours wasted on taking shoes off, etc. at the airport. If the government can prevent one death from covid, then it's worth it, right? Forget the fact it's killing everyone slowly. Such sheepish sentimentality will keep us in the $h!tter for a long time yet.

Excuse me, Sir Ma'am! I am appalled by your use of the dreaded "T" word. It inflicts physical pain upon my existence. The preferred word in educated circles is "Morlock".
