The first two paragraphs
Few Americans have received the latest vaccines against the coronavirus: Just over 7 percent of adults and 2 percent of children had received the shot as of Oct. 14, according to a survey presented on Thursday to scientific advisers to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The uptake is weak even among those most at risk of severe illness. Only one in five people age 75 or older has been vaccinated, along with about 15 percent of those ages 65 to 74, according to the survey of nearly 15,000 people.
Yes, the government is to blame. They are the tool of the ruling class in the class war, and the pandemic is being dealt with to suit the needs of the ruling class, at the cost of the lives and health of the working class. Since the government is failing us, we must be the ones to take care of ourselves and our communities. I hope that over time we can spread awareness to the rest of the working class, because even with the intended failures of the government, there's a lot that people can do to reduce their risk level and protect themselves and communities. And yeah, the whole situation is fucked for immunocompromised people for sure. It's still so weird to see non-immunocompromised people taking such risks though. Covid-19 kills and maims healthy and young people along with everyone else.
I'm still not the same as before getting it 3 years ago. And that's what i was most worried about when the whole thing started. 🙃
Yes. This is the case for so many people. And each reinfection is a roll of the dice. Each time people get it again, there's the risk of disability and death. Some health problems last forever. Sometimes when people get covid, it gives them a permanent condition like diabetes or a heart problem or an autoimmune disorder. The media acts like people who get covid get better, but that's not the case for everyone. We can't go back in time but at least we can try to not get it again and try to not spread it to anyone else. Best wishes to you, comrade. I hope you get better, and if not, I hope your condition does not get worse.
