CV and mad panic behaviour

[Mav]

Trump actually went out over his skis when he told his followers at a rally they should get the vaccine and the booster like he did. They booed him and he backed off quickly and told them it was a personal choice and everybody should do as they wanted. This was a demonstration of what George Conway from the Lincoln Project noted about Trump's relationship with his followers: he was so successful because he was able to understand what they felt and he just reflected that back to them. He was a lightning rod for disaffection rather than a leader who is capable of persuading them to change their thinking. The vaccine "misstep" was a rare example of Trump misunderstanding what his followers felt. (That's not to say he was blameless in creating that attitude - he got that bandwagon rolling with his assertions about hoaxes and the like, but once it gathered momentum he was incapable of changing its course).

Here's another reason to vaccinate in order to minimise the damage Covid might do to us:
