in the OP here has a clip from about 2-1/2 minutes into a story that ran over 3 minutes.

This is the video of the full story from last night's ABC News

https://abcnews.go.com/WNT/video/health-officials-sound-alarm-surging-covid-19-cases-79051670

and I've posted that in a reply in the other thread, telling people where to find the info on that Missouri hospital.

But fwiw, it wouldn't surprise me if they're doing this in other states. I've run across other news on people thinking they have to keep their getting vaccinated secret from RWNJ relatives and friends.

gotten vaccinated (One because his employer told him to get the vaccine or he can't work for their company.) These men are like pre adolescent boys who can't face the peer pressure of their little Trumper buddies. I taught kindergarten for 38 years and I have had students who could stand on their own against peer pressure better than these guys. Unbelievable.

Put a note on the card that says

'I know you refuse to put your big boy pants on, so here is a prezzie to prevent you from shit-staining your trousers.'

maybe toss in a pair of these

...all the guys I play amongst regularly (about 12 counting me) are vaxxed.
But, for months one guy kept saying he wasn't going to, no way, don't need it, never getting it.
He's vaxxed. Why?
My tough guy's wife made him get it!

...and feel it somehow hurts their pride to admit it and get the shot, so they get the shot in secret, then likely keep spouting off about “nobody should get the shot” in order to look like they are part of the group.

I doubt they would even know who Groucho Marx was. Probably think he was some sort of marxist, communist, socialist, globalist agent of the Deep State.

By the way, how can one be a socialist and a globalist? Those are diametrically opposed!!

That you would feel the need to hide the fact that you are doing a good thing for your fellow Americans.

Now over 160 million Americans haven't become magnetic or dropped dead after all, but that's just made those who see it as a test of political loyalty angrier. It'd make sense if more of their friends were sneaking one in while running errands now that vaccines are readily available at various places in town.

Why not just do that?

I'm pretty sure that's what the Republican bigwigs are doing.

that their friends and family will give them if they find out but maybe I'm reading it wrong or making an assumption.
