Mike Rowe, the Dirty Jobs guy, was asked about the COVID vaccines. As always, he goes with common sense and skepticism. Via Nick Arama at RedState:
Rowe: Yes, we have a new variant,
and from what I’ve read, it’s highly contagious, but far less virulent –
especially if you’re vaccinated. According to the CDC, just one 1 in 27,000
vaccinated people have contracted it. That means if you’re vaccinated, you’re
more likely to get struck by lightning than contract COVID. And yet, people are
once again calling for more lockdowns, more restrictions, and more compliance from
those who already got their shots.
The fact is, millions of reasonable
Americans have every right to feel confused and skeptical. Those people you
refer to. . . – the ones now telling us that we can “get back to normal just as
soon as everyone is vaccinated” – those are the same people who said, “two
weeks to flatten the curve!” Those are the same people who told us that masks
were “useless” before they told us they were “critical.” Those are the same
people who told us that a return to normalcy would occur just as soon as “the
most vulnerable” among us were vaccinated. Then, just as soon as “half the
population” was vaccinated. Then, just as soon as we achieved “herd immunity.”
Those are the same people who told us they wouldn’t trust ANY vaccine developed
under the last administration. Now, those very same people are belittling the
skeptics!
