44. I just don't understand someone like Trump or Magats that secretly get vaccinated

but continue the lies. My bet is that the Fox News talking heads are all vaccinated, yet they openly encourage their viewer to buy into nonsensical conspiracy theories, with the end result being some of those people dying.

When I look at the world, I am really concerned that a new variant of SARS-COV-2 is going to develop in places like Indonesia or Brazil. Both countries have pretty large populations, plenty of poverty and healthcare systems that were over-taxed even before Covid, now they have the Delta variant establishing itself in that volatile mix. Also keep your eyes on what I believe is the Gamma variant (came out of South Africa and has the capacity to evade the immune system), there are a couple of places where the Delta variant and the Gamma variant are circulating among the same populations. Imagine the potential chaos if a variant forms that has characteristics of the two?
