+1. Could not have said it better.

All these people afraid of the vaccine, afraid of getting "microchipped", reading and hearing of it makes me very sad.

Not me, I like to troll them, and feed their fears; give them nightmares, like telling them it's not the vaccine that has the microchips, it's the water out of their tap, and beer & soda cans are designed as antennas to increase the range.

Even the best efficacy is 94% - 95%...that means it's statistically possible 5% to 6% can still get the virus. BUT, if they do, it is 100% effective on preventing severe reactions and hospitalizations. They have been working on the delivery method for decades, it's not a "rushed vaccine". Future vaccines will also be quicker, using the templates. No guinea pigs, that was the people in the tests before it got authorized for emergency use, if anyone.

It's getting to the point where unvaccinated people will be the biggest threat to other unvaccinated people. With all the hesitant people, conspiracy theory people, and religious refusers we will not get to herd immunity. In California 51.1% are fully vaccinated, and 12.8% are partially vaccinated. Assuming the partially vaccinated get the 2nd shot, that will mean soon there will be 63.9% fully vaccinated...approaching the minimum 70% needed. And now there is $116 million in incentives for people to get vaccinated, so hopefully that will remove some of the hesitancy...Of course, we are not an island and some states will never get close

I believe Melinda Gates will get 1/2 the micro chips in the divorce...

To bring us back to good news. There was a mass vaccination event at Twickenham Rugby stadium yesterday which was extended to anyone over 18. It was absolutely packed. Two of my great nieces had their first jabs there and they had to queue for over an hour. They did 15,000 jabs in total and had to turn people away an hour before it was due to finish because they ran out of vaccines. It just shows that , in the UK anyway, there is still great support for the vaccination program even among the young.

Ice hockey World Championships end tomorrow Sunday (or rather today Sunday, it's 02:20 / 2:20 AM for me already). My greatly beloved and missed native Finland plays against Canada for Gold medals, and Germany, my adopted home country against USA for bronze medals.

In screenshot, the quarter final, semi final and final games. Please notice, that the ROC means Russian Olympic Committee; because of systematic, long running, state managed and controlled doping culture, Russia as a state was not allowed to participate, but Russian team was allowed to participate under the the flag of Russian Olympic Committee (ROC). Showing Russian flag or emblems were forbidden, the team having Olympic rings instead of flag in their shirts.

I am sorry, Canadians. We won the final and gold medals in 2019 against you, and as 2020 games were cancelled due the pandemic, we will now take the second World Championship in a row!

Go hockey players!

There, that should be a winner
