30 Million Americans Vaccinated In 25 Days

Initially, I'd say ~50% of our pilots refused the vaccine. Not sure about the rest of the base.

Reminds me of the actor who portrayed the Frenchman in Hogan’s Hero’s. Go to Holocaust seminars. They talked about how the Jews got serial numbers tattooed on their arm. Someone always denied the Holocaust ever happened. He would calmly walk over to them and roll up his sleeve. There, right in front of the denier’s nose was his serial number, tattooed on his forearm. You can see videos of it.
Genocide is depressingly common, and insanely well documented. The "Never Again!" slogan sounds nice, but ......
Red Famine: Stalin's War on Ukraine - Anne Applebaum
Mao's Great Famine: The History of China's Most Devastating Catastrophe -Frank Dikotter, a truly fascinating fellow
Shake Hands with the Devil: The Failure of Humanity in Rwanda-Romeo Dallaire, (UN force commander in Rwanda powerless to stop it)
Three genocides within living memory, or at most one generation removed. I doubt one in a hundred random people in the US would know what you were talking about. "Deniers", in this context, are just willfully ignorant; so wrapped up in cognitive dissonance they can't see the forest for the trees.
Books help.

Humans are nowhere near as rational as you'd like to think; we decide what to believe/buy/invest time in first, then scour the sewer that is the internet to justify our "rational thoughts" second.

I highly recommend a "walkabout" to Angkor Wat and include Phnom Penh and the "killing fields"....that is ...when we reach herd immunity and we can travel again.

Totally unscientific, but we've found that if you've already had the rona, the first shot makes you sick and the second shot isn't bad. If you haven't had rona, it's the opposite. Intense sickness that lasts maybe a day or so....body aches, fever, chills. Our base is giving out Moderna.

Very interesting continuously updates graphs of Israel and their vaccination data (plus infection rates, by age group and more).
Israel has really been knocking it out of the park with the vaccines.
