I'm reading The Demon-Haunted World right now and I agree with the premise which is that there are millions of people who are curious about the world but are exposed to bullsh-t instead of science. They are fed a diet of garbage and they latch on to that because they know no better. What we need is a multi-trillion dollar education of the public: start teaching the difference between science and pseudoscience in kindergarten, teach rudimentary logic and empiricism as part of every subject. Declare war on the mental pollution of the public by superstition and bullsh-t. Eradicate conspiracy theories like they were disease.

Other than the CNN article and a couple it references (and that reference it), I can't find anything approaching a real authority on that "Pfizer is only 60% effective against Delta", and I've seen a few experts questioning its origin.
The fact is, vaccines work, and they work well. If you are vaccinated, you are extremely unlikely to contract COVID short of being in an India-like hot zone, and you are even further unlikely to develop a severe case.
4/4 people something something contract something something is a sample size so laughably small as not to be relevant, and shame on the media for this.
Last April, the Chief Infectious Disease doctor at the hospital I work for said "I have two pieces of advice: First, where a mask. Second, ignore the media."I gotta little bit of smoke and a whole lotta wine...

Yes. And include in that curriculum the science behind confirmation bias. With the way information is fed to the vast majority of people now, I think that particular awareness has become critical.
You have to vaccinate people so they do not catch the mental diseases that are floating around out there. They have to be able to build their own logical antibodies.
It's not magic. Anything you and I can do 90% of the public can do. Maybe not as quickly or easily, but their brains have the capability if they are nourished.Cornell University

It will be interesting where the CDC goes from here. I would like to see intervention now so things don’t get completely out of control but that hasn’t been the American way when it comes to Covid.Originally posted by BobbyBrady

Do you think Delta is being overblown and isn’t a concern? I would like to think you are right.
it’s a concern but as far as we know, you’re going to be ok if you get it and have been vaccinated. Red states can pass delta around al day long and I’m not going to freak out unless it somehow mutates to something scary.
my only real concern here are kids and compromised people who can’t get vaxxed yet.
