It's as if you disagree with my response. Explain.

Obviously, you aren't getting the sarcasm I have used to respond to your and LG's posts.

This might help let you know what I'm getting at:

It's hard to draw accurate comparisons when NYC alone has more deaths than the entire country of Sweden (23,000+ vs. 5,750+).

Then factor in other variables, age of population, cultural differences, density, living standards, general health of the population, how deaths by COViD are determined and by whom, etc., and it's difficult to accurately place fault or blame on responses, or lack thereof, by governments. To do so and think that you are being entirely fair, accurate and unbiased, is, well, just simply more politics than facts.

Why was it so hard to respectfully agree with my response to your question? I see more "unfair" comparisons from the Right than the left. Don't ever see you speak up then. I don't even need to ask you why.

Yahoo News and YouGov have been polling Americans for the past few months, and the most recent survey released this week finds that the public embrace of a potential vaccine has hit a new low. Only 42% of Americans said they planned to get vaccinated if and when a vaccine becomes available, which is down from 55% in late May, and 46% in early July.

Combining the number of Americans who said they wouldn’t get vaccinated with the number who said they were unsure (36%) accounts for about three quarters of the population. This is notable because estimates suggest that 70% to 90% of the country would need to be vaccinated to achieve the herd immunity needed to stop COVID-19 from spreading.

Pretty amazing stats.

They prefer herd immunity the hard way.

if you translated Australia's covid death rate to the US our total dead would be just over 3000. Instead its 50 times that. But hey, Trump says looks at the other charts. (As he tries to understand which side is up)

Why compare us to Australia? They're an island. It's much easier to isolate in a situation like that. Iceland and New Zealand have done very well too. See a pattern here?

Or, like me, as someone who has not been sick of any sort since I was 19, 25 years....no nothing, no colds or flu or runny nose or sore throat, nothing.

I am extremely healthy, and in phenomenal shape, carry around 8% body fat, work out 6 days a week for at least 2 hours a day.

I will not be getting any vaccine.

No, I took your point and asked about the country the Right seems to hail as "doing it right". It's almost as if your saying the less distance people have between each other the more infections that occur.

What does "the right" have to do with the conversation.

I think I see the problem.You have aligned your beliefs with a political party. I form my own opinions so I can see how that may confuse you.

Not really that amazing , it’s going to be a brand new vaccine with little to know studies done on human side effects . Are you going to line up to get it when it hits the shelves before you know anything about it ?

I’d actually prefer to wait and watch people like you line up to get your brand new cure and see what happens . I’m all for others choosing freely to be test sheeple for the betterment of society .

"...Indeed, asked on Thursday whether a vaccine -- 29 prototypes of which are currently being developed and trialed by multiple countries including the United States -- would arrive in time for Election Day on November 3, Trump bumped up his personal timetable, characteristically telling anyone listening exactly what they want to hear.

"I'm optimistic that it'll be probably around that date. I believe we'll have the vaccine before the end of the year certainly, but around that date, yes. I think so," the President said, agreeing that an announcement could boost his reelection bid.

"It wouldn't hurt. It wouldn't hurt. But ... I'm doing it, not for the election. I want it fast because I want to save a lot of lives."


Which one of you Trumpsters actually believes any of this garbage?

Complete and utter nonsense.

Hell no. I'm not getting the vaccine.

It's amazing that the vaccine won't actually solve the pandemic.

Sure you do, buddy. Please explain how partisan my belief is that social distancing works to curb the spread of the Virus. You alluded to distance between individuals as a factor in your post comparing countries.

Not that I don’t trust big pharmaceutical and their possible hundreds of billions to be made from being the first one with a vaccine, but in the end people will be a statistic , good or bad that’s what their lives will boil down to . If the stats say it saves more than it kills it will be approved . Right now I like my chances without taking a new vaccine .
