Yes, this country is one of the lowest vaccinated countries per capita among the industrialized nations, so I hear from a doctor friend. But for extreme politics and but for extreme political views clouding facts and common sense, this effective vaccine would have been a non issue. In fact if not for politics, this vaccine would have been widely accepted as a godsend. If, for example, this vaccine would have been for the flu and had been as statistically effective against the flu as this vaccine is against covid, this vaccine would have been hailed as extraordinary and someone would have been receiving the Nobel prize. President Biden had a real opportunity to be open, to be honest, to be humble and admit mistakes along the way with this pandemic, in short to create trust. But, he failed. He failed in his leadership and in his leadership team with Dr. Faucci. It is sad, really. The political division and poor leadership in this country has blinded people of both parties to truth, goodness, science, common sense, brotherly love, and many other virtues that seem to be dwindling.
