I agree with Ilhan Omar. I can't believe that actually happened. She is critical of lawmakers including AOC for getting the vaccine ahead of others. Couldn't agree more. Those people should be listed in the dictionary under unessential. They should be dead last to get the vaccines.

So whats the story on the Mutant Chinese virus going around Europe.?
Will it possibly make the vaccines less effective ? or even render them useless if it makes its way here.?
They are saying it has made itself much easier to get and travel. ?????

Sounds like it's just more infectious. They usually don't mutate into anything more dangerous because that wouldn't make sense. The virus dies with the host so those mutations wouldn't be as likely to spread. It hasn't been in an environment with the vaccines so it isn't likely to mutate in a way that makes them ineffective. So it's likely just going to spread faster and easier. But that's been hypothesized before with other mutations when we had the surge this summer.

Good for Ilhan.....even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Robert Bentley, disgraced former governor here is getting the same criticism for getting the vaccine. He doesnâ€t fit any of the immediacy groups either.
No longer GroupThink 'woke'. but it was fun while it lasted.

The adjectives that describe the majority of politicians after they've left office.
Yes, redundant to say the least.

Do you wear a tinfoil hat all the time, or just when you are posting on this site?

I don't really mind high profile politicians getting the vaccine because it helps instill public trust in the product. It's a miniscule amount of the overall supply, anyway.
Now that the vaccine rollout has begun, I wonder how that is going to impact public interactions. You'll have a minority of people that shouldn't be required to wear masks anymore and stores and the mask Nazis of the world aren't equipped to handle that.
I think Ohio was said to have 500K doses by the end of the year, so with the waiting period, by mid-January, we'll have 250K people that shouldn't need masks. That's over 2% of the population. While not huge, it will be noticeable.
