LAST CALL: Take It or Leave It, For VACCINATION

A drastic measure to try to implement and one that presents obvious official obstacles, but how much longer can this situation persist? What's it going to take?

It's an enormous life and death issue especially in view of the rapid spread of new variants here and around the world. It comes down to fairness and survival. There has to be a limit.

If a 'deadline' could be implemented, then how would vaccinated and unvaccinated Americans co-exist without 'impacting' each other?

I don't have the answers, but it's clear that the health and welfare of the rest of the country CANNOT continue to be jeopardized by people who remain opposed and ignorant about the urgency of vaccination for Covid.

Vaccine incentives-- gift cards, sports tickets, and more have been helpful, along with outreach-- but is it enough?

TODAY Dr. Fauci stated on CNN's 'Face the Nation' Sunday TV program that, "we have more vaccine than we know what to do with." What a tragedy given the thousands, millions of people in the world in need of protection who would welcome Covid vaccines.

Comments, ideas and suggestions welcome. Not a big poster, I do follow information and perspectives. Thanks, A.Blue.

- 'Inexplicable' People Not Vaxed- Delta, More Vaccines Than We Know What To Do With, Boosters? Sunday, July 11, 2021, CNN, Face The Nation.

Dr. Fauci says, "its 'inexplicable' Americans aren't getting vaccinated despite data. This is a public heath issue that is life-saving for you, your family and your community. The Delta variant is easily transmissible, much more than other variants."

Fauci continues, "The data shows that 99.5% of Covid deaths are in the unvaccinated. We have more vaccines in this country than we know what to do with. We need trusted messengers, other than government officials to get out into the community to explain to people why it's important to get vaccinated. If you're unvaccinated, you have a high risk of getting the nasty, Delta variant."

who want and need the assistance. Sooner than later, survival time.

When you let people jerk you around, it plays right into their hands and never works out well, for you. Basic life knowledge..

Oh Yeah! s**thole countries

Perhaps the MAGATs would flock to the vaccine dispensaries to prevent it from going to those s**thole countries if it was phrased that way.

thing over and over and over, I admire him more. I don’t know how he continues it day after day without screaming from boredom and frustration.
