Fauci: 40 to 50 Percent of His Agency’s Employees Are Not Vaccinated
Quote:
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the head of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), said that about 40 percent of his agency’s employees have not received the COVID-19 vaccine, while a deputy at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said the agency is reporting similar numbers.

Hmmmm, so about 40% of both NIAID and FDA employees HAVE NOT been vaccinated. Since it is a given that the vast majority of employees of the US government in Washington D.C are democrats, why do so many republicans democrats refuse to believe science.
Morons

Why are so many democrat morons that work in government "health" agencies NOT getting vaccinated??? Do they know something we don't????

Well, at least fleaswatter thinks that people who don’t get vaccinated are morons!

Played poker at the local card room for the first time since February 2020. Felt great! I managed a slight gain in spite of some mistakes and oversights due to lack of practice. Need some more seat time to get my game back.

Not that anyone here cares, but the game changed a since last year. They found a way to make bomb pots even worse. In a regular 1-2 no limit holdem game they do bomb pots, double board pot limit Omaha every round of the button. I managed to sit most of them out. They live for those pots.

I'd sit out of any bomb pot hand
Too many and I move tables
Becomes a custom then I won't play
I actually dont like to gamble
Just like to play cheap games
Bomb pots is gambling, no interest from me

They have to get their vaccination rate up. I don't think there's any other long term solution that would work other than a completely isolated island nation.


You can lock down to try to slow otherwise overwhelmed hospitals, but that's not going to work forever.
