Even if it doesn't kill, the virus can destroy -

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2021/12/09/long-covid-work-unemployed/

The unvaccinated are the breeding grounds for new variants
that will each kill or destroy more people - people the
unvaccinated will infect without even knowing it.

 https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/08/opinion/unvaccinated-people-anti-vaxxers.html

But anti-vaxers are single-issue voters, just the kind
the GOP depends on stirring up to preserve minority rule.

Who are the unvaccinated?      The people who don't trust
government and other institutions.     And the people whose
lives involve much greater risks than covid.      There is
no sense of social contract and working together for the
common good - as there was in the 1950's after the horror
of WWII.        It's all about ME, not about US.

 https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/03/opinion/vaccine-hesitancy-covid.html

And don't forget the people misled for power or profit by
political and media figures.

Yesterday, covid virus seemed so far away...

 https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/south-africa-detects-new-covid-19-variant-small-numbers-2021-11-25/

Now it looks as though it's here to stay...

 https://apnews.com/article/coronavirus-pandemic-health-business-asia-stock-markets-7aa5c5acef16621e72d33212e77924f2

Omicron is not the last letter of the Greek alphabet!
It was predicted that there would probably be additional
variants arising as long as there was a large global
pool of unvaccinated to incubate them.  How many?
How communicable?   How severe?   How effective are
existing vaccines?   We'll find out the hard way.

By definition of evolution by competitive advantage, new
variants thrive if they are somehow better than previous
variants at propagating.

Despite travel stocks taking a beating today and the
lockdown stocks thriving, reflecting the opinion of GOP
financial leaders, do not expect any GOP political leader
to point out the obvious - that a global vaccination effort
would reduce the rate of new variants.

Despite our best efforts, we still get new flu variants
every year.   But we are somewhat protected (compared to
1918) by vaccines taken for the old variants.  We still
lose a lot of vulnerable citizens every year to flu,
but it's nothing like the 1918 flu.  Or the 2020 covid.

Depending on whether Russia and Saudi Arabia cut
production, the good news might be that gas prices might
decline.      The bad news is that under a new lockdown,
you couldn't go anywhere.

DeSantis believes in science!    Political science, of
course - what it takes to get Trump's voters and donors
to support DeSantis' presidential ambitions.

 https://apnews.com/article/coronavirus-pandemic-vaccines-natural-immunity-285ae319be9c3ea42dd7bb8400ea4888

But even if you've gotten some covid variant, you can still
be re-infected, and are even more likely to infect others,
because you might have mild symptoms or none.   The people
you infect might not fare as well as you.

But DeSantis is content to let you and they take their
chances with covid, in order to fare better than his rivals
for the nomination.

God will take care of me!

An old story that I've heard in French and Spanish too -

 https://www.michaelhartzell.com/blog/the-story-about-a-jeep-a-boat-and-a-helicopter

Easily updated to fit our time -

==

An Idaho family heard about covid.

They were told to mask.  They declined, saying God will
take care of us!

They were told to keep social distance outside and avoid
large indoor gatherings.  They declined, saying God will
take care of us!

They were told to get vaccinated.  They declined, saying
God will take care of us!

Eventually they were infected, and when they finally went
to an Idaho hospital, they were triaged into the can't
save category.     They all died, so in heaven the mother
asked God Why didn't you take care of us?

God answered, My faithful servants on earth told you to
mask, keep social distance, avoid large indoor gatherings,
and get vaccinated.    What more did you expect?

God might take care of you.     Don't count on doctors
and nurses any more.     They're quitting from the abuse.

God gave us reason and free will.       Use both of them.

The average voter doesn't get exponential growth.

 https://www.political-scrapbook.net/theory.html#exponentials

Translation for that voter:   by the time you realize you
should have gotten vaccinated months ago, it will be too
late - they will be intubating you - if you're lucky -
or else sending you home to die, as in the third world.

 https://apnews.com/article/health-coronavirus-pandemic-b0811d7287ef240ae619ba1e385e0a63

But at least you preserved your freedom to make your own
bad decisions - at other people's great expense.  What's
next, a social media movement to legalize drunk driving
without seatbelts?   What about restoring that freedom?

Biden says get out of the way!

DeSantis says no way!

 https://apnews.com/article/health-florida-coronavirus-pandemic-f7a383de8065b5824344a6a79aa1eece

Perhaps he means to stand in the schoolhouse door

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand_in_the_Schoolhouse_Door

George Wallace also had presidential ambitions.

The 1918 flu had three waves too -

 https://www.cdc.gov/flu/pandemic-resources/1918-commemoration/three-waves.htm

In that case, the second wave was the worst.      But
hospitals are creating temporary ICU's and morgues again
to be ready.

All politicians are re-calibrating their positions in
light of delta and whatever comes next.

 https://apnews.com/article/lifestyle-joe-biden-health-coronavirus-pandemic-ae53b5887b5f1ba83b05cf36373d0b2a

For some, it's an opportunity for statesmanship -
leadership in times of crisis, and boost their-relection
prospects by appealing to voters. .    For others, it's an
opportunity for showmanship - to perform for the Dixiecrat
Republican fantasy league, and boost their re-election
prospects by appealing to major donors.

What goes around comes around.

Nobody's safe until everybody's safe, so we export vaccines
that nobody will take here -

 https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-health-coronavirus-pandemic-dceebc8654a9b3d2596127ed38df9bd2

Such as in Tennessee, where only cows get vaccination
incentives -

But vaccination wasn't 100% for Graham though it helped -

India was doing well until it loosened up for mass
political rallies and religious festivals.     Sound
familiar?

 https://apnews.com/article/health-india-coronavirus-4b105300bbf93c97cc844ef9b44a462c

It's now got a double mutant that doesn't seem to be
bothered much by existing vaccines.

 https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/27/world/asia/India-delhi-covid-cases.html

So far fatalities are less than half the US, despite four
times the population.     What of the future though?

Don't think it can't happen to US!
