Needless to say the situation with viruses is not getting better, in fact cases are on the upward slope.
The situation two weeks with influenza when the west and southeast were getting hit hardest.
COVID-19, also two weeks ago.
RSV from the same time.
But what’s the current situation?
Influenza, COVID-19, RSP and norovirus are all rising – but why? For the first three there’s a low vaccination rate. As to norovirus, who knows, but we’ve had friends get it and it’s nasty. Currently we have a friend at Whitefish Point with COVID-19, and she’s vaccinated.
Bottom line, mask up when in crowded places and make sure that you’re up to date with your vaccinations. Both Susan and I are currently topped off with vaccines so should be OK.
Now, back to some political cartoons from January, 2019 before the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.
The mythical vaccine that causes autism. Fortunately, the scientist who published the fictional agenda-driven data was put in prison. But the damage is done, and the current US administration won’t be helping especially since they’ve already withdrawn the US from the WHO.
And now – death helping spread vaccine conspiracies that they’re bad for you and make things worse.
I guess some things never change.
More later…
