Only silver lining is most of Blue America vaccinates so we'll see yet another drop in MAGAts dying (and young ones, this time!).

Bad news, tons of kids will get sick, become crippled, or die, plus anyone relying on herd immunity. Honestly even with all my hate for vaccine deniers, that collateral damage isn't worth all that.

More hosts to allow for mutations that screw everybody. Even if you want them dead, you should still want them vaccinated more.

Yup, that too. Harming you and yours just to let out anger is a right wing playbook, so obviously I'm not exactly celebrating.

I think flu shots protect the elderly more. So more govt savings on social security, and the next generation can be brought up as loyal trumpians.
