Can't see a way back from this, unless millions of Republican voters die from Covid.

These people have been there in the same numbers since Reagan. Reagan excited them, Bush not so much. Trump then said all the things they say. They showed up to vote.

BMA to issue damning critique of government over Covid crisis
‘We will not accept return to old pre-pandemic NHS, which was so patently understaffed,’ chair to say

Chronic neglect of the NHS, poor pandemic preparedness and flawed government policies have contributed to the appalling impact of the Covid-19 crisis in the UK, according to a damning assessment from the British Medical Association.

More than 130,000 people in the UK have died from coronavirus since the pandemic began, with non-Covid excess deaths up 12,000 last year, making the country one of the hardest hit among comparable nations, the doctors’ body said.

In a speech on Monday, Dr Chaand Nagpaul, the BMA’s chair of council, will warn that the country and NHS staff have never faced such a crisis before and urge ministers to take action to ensure the health service is better prepared to respond to pandemics in the future.

“We will not accept a return to the old pre-pandemic NHS, which was so patently understaffed and under-resourced, where nine in 10 doctors are afraid of medical errors daily,” he is expected to say. “We will not accept an NHS running at unsafe bed occupancy and without spare capacity.”
It does not affect the rich of course as BUPA is more understanding.

FDA Fauci and Lancet authors disagree on boosters:


Taken as a whole, the currently available studies do not provide credible evidence of substantially declining protection against severe disease, which is the primary goal of vaccination, said lead author Ana-Maria Henao-Restrepo from WHO.

"The limited supply of these vaccines will save the most lives if made available to people who are at appreciable risk of serious disease and have not yet received any vaccine," Henao-Restrepo said.

On that, millions of doses already went to trash from US drug stores because trumpsters won't take a vaccine.

I was taking a spin through right wing talk radio. The same two rancid canards featured prominently: 'It's a matter of defending our Freedom!' and 'It doesn't harm anybody else if I don't get a vaccine.' I hope they got their daily dose of ivermectin.

Americans serving with the US Armed Forces need protection from the dangerous infections that they can contract during training, based on occupation, during overseas deployment, or because of underlying health status. For over 230 years, the military health-care system has immunized troops to protect them personally and to help them accomplish their missions. Military researchers have invented, developed, and improved vaccines and immunization delivery methods against more than 20 diseases
.....

Immunizations have both direct benefit to the recipient and indirect benefit to the people in the community in which the vaccinee resides or works (i.e., “herd immunity”). In military settings, the indirect benefit takes on an additional dimension, insofar as an immunized service member is less likely to succumb to a disease that threatens his or her team's mission. By staying healthy, the immunized service member helps other team members to accomplish their mission and return home safely. Because of both direct and indirect benefits, most US military immunizations are required, rather than voluntary.

This is particularly ironic because the prime founding father of the USA, George Washington, ordered the mass vaccination of his troops in 1777. This measure arguably helped swing the revolutionary war in favour of the colonials, but today's anti-vaxxers unanimously ignore it.

Aborted babies come in once again.
After contracting COVID, Enyart ended up in the hospital after caring for his wife with the virus, and he lasted less than two weeks with the disease. The announcement was made by Real Science Radio co-host Fred Williams, the FriendlyAtheist reported. Williams posted the news on Facebook.

He was "one of the smartest, and without question the wisest person I've known," said Williams.

Enyart not only refused to get a COVID vaccine, he believed a false conspiracy theory that researchers "tested these three products [vaccines] on the cells of aborted babies." Testing vaccines on anything dead wouldn't work because there would be no blood to deliver the vaccine to the system.
