Michigan to tie reopening to vaccine rates

https://www.wxyz.com/news/coronavirus/covid-19-vaccine/covid-19-restrictions-will-lift-in-michigan-based-on-vaccination-rates-state-announces

Basically when 70% are vaccinated all restrictions are lifted.

This is a pretty interesting strategy because the message to anti-vaxxers is “if we can’t open the state up, it is because of YOU not doing your part. “

We’ll see what happens because the selfish fuckers aren’t going to get a vaccine and will just sue the state instead.

its quite evident that Democratic states are generally hitting their targets for herd immunity so that at least 70% will be fully vaccinated by mid-July and 85% about a month later. The problematical states are generally identical to the states won by Trump in the 2020 Electoral College

John Edwards was wrong. There are Two Americas. One that relies on science and another that does not

It’s where I live and I know too many “vacowards” that complain about the restrictions. Now I can show them THEY are the problem if we don’t get back to normal.
