Simple, Inexpensive Solution to Open the Country, Increase Vaccination Rates, Overcome Vaccine Hesitancy and Get Back to Normal Faster

We are all anxious to get over the Covid pandemic as soon as possible and get our lives back to normal as quickly as possible.

I have a simple, inexpensive solution that will open the country faster, Increase vaccination rates, overcome vaccine hesitancy and eliminate confusion about the effectiveness of the vaccines and exactly how prevalent adverse effects are.

Every day the governors of the states and health departments broadcast the daily death and hospitalization statistics.

We all know and have seen that self-interest bests a sense of social responsibility towards your community. Health departments, CDC officials have run numerous public service announcements and pleaded with people to wear masks and maintain social distancing for the benefit of our fellow citizens without having people take responsibility towards their fellow citizens seriously enough to wear a mask.

The solution is right before us, simple and inexpensive and can be easily implemented by the doctors, nurses, first responders, and government officials who want the economy to get back in gear, see tax revenues rise, have happy voters that are ecstatic that their lives are getting back to normal.

What is this simple solution? Simply have the health and government authorities break down their daily hospitalization and death statistics.

All they need to do is break down the statics into the number of vaccinated people that died and the number of unvaccinated people who have died. 

All they need to do is break down the number of people in hospitals from COVID into vaccinated and unvaccinated. 

All they need to do is break down the number of people on vaccinators to those who have had vaccines and those who have not been vaccinated.

Let the numbers speak for themselves to people.

As an added bonus it will clear away the fog of disinformation that has been plaguing the average citizen who has questions about the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine. They have questions about whether they should get the vaccine that some falsely say is no worse than the flu.

There have been a lot of needless deaths and needless suffering. Let’s end it now with this simple solution.

The hospitals most likely already have this information. Some people may not want to share this information. We can have a third category of unknown but I think the results will show overwhelmingly the effectiveness and safety of the vaccine. 

The data can be anonymous like the current death and hospitalization counts so it doesn’t violate any privacy rules.

It’s simple, low cost and we can do this easily to end the needless suffering and deaths.

Trump’s Treason

Trump  must be impeached immediately. His attempted coup has failed. We have heard him float suggestions will declare martial law. We must make sure that we short circuit Trump’s attempts to destroy democracy.

Unlike Trump’s unfounded claims of voter fraud which were not supported by any evidence evidence of Trump’s muyoltiple crimes are in plain site and fixed in hard proof. 

Trump has egged on his supporters to be violent and has refused to condem their actions even when called upon by fellow republicans.

Trump must be impeached immediately before he is can create more damage. Did you see some of the damage caused by Trump’s rioters where the went through desks,  smashed windows, smashed doors, removed Congressional papers from desks and threw them all around the offices?

Would you want Trump’s hand to have any control over the nuclear weapons or military where he could cause more damage and chaos not only here in the United States but around the world.

Covid Graph Showing Stark Difference Between Democratic & Republican State

This animated graphic shows the normalized covid cases in the states since June. Normaized means that it is showing the number of cases per 100,000 so we are comparing on an equal basis no matter what the population of the various states are. The June date was chosen because before then the US was ambushed by the virus, but by the June 8th date we knew what public safety measures could help control the spread.the spread of the COVID virus – Wearing masks and social distancing.

In the beginning of the pandemic the east coast cities of New York and New Jersey were hit hard because we have 3 large international airports in the area. Some of the largest airports in the country – LaGuardia International Airport , Kennedy International Airport, and Newark Liberty International Airport.

Trump was telling everyone the virus was coming from China and the West coast airports closed to travelers from China. What he didn’t say was that travelers from China and Europe were still flying into east coast international airports while Trump banged on the China threat. He patted himself on the back for closing the door from China but left the door wide open for travel from China that went through Europe!

What this animated graphic show is in the beginning of the pandemic the highest states were democratic states But the democratic states took heed to what the medical experts, scientists and their Democratic officials were saying about the actions they could take to slow the spread – wearing masks and social distancing.

It was hard work, often people and businesses chafted at the restrictions

but it brought the infection rates down. Meanwhile, Trump was lying to United States citizens telling them the virus was a hoax and would disappear magically while Bob Woodward has the president on tape saying he knows the virus is going to be really bad.

Trump knew the virus was going to be really bad why didn’t he prepare the nation with adequate PPE and testing. Because he did not care about the American people and how many might die. All Trump cared about was keeping the stock market up which he saw as the only indicator he valued of his success. ‘

Meanwhile in the midwest Republican governors kept echoing Trumps claims the virus was a hoax, dismissed wearing masks or any of the other measures experts were suggesting to control the virus

In those midwest states, people followed Trump’s lead and their governors’ lead – they did not wear masks or social distance. The only thing they were demanding was that the states “open up.” Echoing the demands of Trump and the Republican leaders.

Predictably Covid started rising in those states.

How sad it was to read the article in the Washington Post from the South Dakota nurse who said she was treating patients who were denying the existance of Covid up to their deaths. They kept sayinging this can’t be happening. It’s not real.”

https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/11/16/south-dakota-nurse-coronavirus-deniers

We know why they were saying it’s not real – because that’s  what president Trump told them in multiple statements. That’s what their Republican governors kept telling them – it’s a hoax – its not real.

Have the lies from these government officials caused the death of someone you loved – your mother – your father – a sibling or someone ele they dismissed as having underlying conditions?

They were all loved human being who deserved a chance to live. They did not deserve to die to serve the needs of a narcissistic president who only cared about himself or republican governors who only cared about their careers.

Republicans Are Coming For Your Health Care

Republicans are coming for the Health care coverage that is currently protecting the health of millions of Americans with the Affordable Care Act. The Affordable Care Act provides millions of Americans with pre-existing conditions like diabetes, cancer and the long term effects of Covid19.

It’s obvious from the rushed hearing to confirm Justice Amy Coney Barrett for a lifetime  appointment to the Supreme Court that this takes precidence over all of the needs and wishes of the American people. The American people have spoken and overwhelmingly said that this should wait for the election on Novemeber 3rd so the American public and the president would have a chance to have their voices heard.

Many of the Republican senators at this hearing attended the Rose Garden announcement of Barett’s nomination that turned out to be a superspreader of Covid-19, infecting the president, cabinet members, republican donors and many others.

Yet in their rush to hold this hearing they would not even take the time out to be tested for Covid-19! They are sitting in a closed room for hours each day. They could be continuing to spread Covid-19 to other members in the hearing, staff, office and cleaning personel and others.

They refuse to say, like the president, when the last time they tested negative was. The White House refuses to implement a comprehensive testing and contact tracing program that would allow them to know who was infected, who was in contact with infected people and both know who was infected and help control new infections. Testing which shows the genomic variations as Covid passes from one person to another would show you how the virus traveled from person to person and pehaps save hundreds or even thousands of lives that will be lost. But the White House refuses to do comprehensive contract tracing.

A justice, once they put on their black judicial  robes and take on their role as justice are supposed to be able to just decide on the basis of the law and put all political, personal or religious biases aside

However Justice Barrett seems unable to put aside her political biases. Certainly Justice Barrett should have been at the Rose Garden announcement of her appointment.

But her political biases caused her to violate one of the most important roles of a mother – to protect her children. She knowingly brought all of her childern to the Rose Garden ceremoney where people were sitting close together,  hugging each other, and not wearing masks. She knowingly brought her children into a dangeous environment where they were exposed to Covid-19.

Scientific research has shown that young children can be very efficient spreaders of Covid19, spreading the disease to many others although the children themselves might not show symptoms  or be asymptomatic.

We know by her own admission that Judge Barrett had Covid during the summer but “got over it.” The question is was she tested? Did her test show she was negative? Were all of her children tested? Did they all test negative?

Being a Justice requires you to separate your beliefs so that you don’t allow a bias to infect your judgement.

Bringing her children to the Rose Garden ceremony which proved to be a Covid superspreader event was a huge lapse in Judge Barrett’s duty to protect her children. It shows her inability to put her political beliefs aside  and is just another example of why Judge Barrett is unsuited to put on the robes of a Supreme Court Justice.
