(why rona has a different impact on domestic animals.)
1- Different animals respond differently to each bacteria or virus.
Salmonella can kill us. In chickens, it is a natural probiotic that helps their digestion. Same bacteria, different animal, different result.
2- if rona killed one out of every thousand cats, are you sure you would you notice? I don’t think I’ve even seen 1000 cats in my life. We just care more when something kills people.
(why rona knows to leave you alone when eating or on planes)
3- rona doesn’t leave you alone when eating, or on planes. If the guy upwind of you at the restaurant breathes out rona, you are breathing it in. Same goes for planes.
(where did the flu go?)
4- We have no flu this year because we killed it with masks and distance.

We have seen examples of people buying into things they previously didn’t when the messaging is delivered by right person in their eyes. Same message different speaker. Remember the polls amongst republicans that showed they disapproved of Obamacare but liked the ACA? Lol!

The situation developing in Europe is a bit of a train wreck, with rising cases, high vaccines skepticism, and the AZ vaccine now paused in many countries. It's gotten so bad that EU officials are now talking mass vaccination with Sputnik vaccine imports.

Trump deserves credit for the vaccine deals, but it will be a long time before the left here will admit it.
Of course, it will also be a long time before the right is willing to blame trump for undermining the basic public health measures, though he deserves that, too.

Democrats Want 'Vaccine Passports' Required To Attend Concerts, But No IDs Required To Vote
The left seems intent on removing voter ID, but is simultaneously flirting with the idea of mandating Coronavirus testing and vaccine passports.

Sputnik is actually on track to be the dominant vaccine world wide thanks to the tumble of az. It’s easier to handle than moderna and Pfizer and j&j put its eggs in the us approval. The Chinese vaccine has been viewed with more skepticism and reports are Sputnik may even be effective against the South Africa variant. It’s the likely dominant vaccine for Brazil, India, South Africa in addition to the moves from Eastern Europe to adopt. It’s also the likely lead vaccine for Mexico so if it doesn’t work or the data has been tampered with we are in for a huge mess just south of the border. Russia has also shown a willingness to let go of its supply despite the Russian population not being at full immunity (something politically in feasible in the us).

Support for Covid-19 Vaccine Passports Grows, With European, Chinese Backing
Many international travelers will likely need to prove they are vaccinated or free of Covid-19 if they plan trips later this year, after the European Union and China both said they would move ahead with plans for “vaccine passports.”

From a covid perspective, the vaccine passport is a good idea. Expect ticketmaster to require it for a year or so. Ticketmaster knows that mom buys the tickets, and Mom is not going to buy tickets if she thinks Susie is going to get sick at the concert.
Argue with mom if you like. It won’t change anything.
Well, it looks like my wife and I, and all the morons will need to stay put somewhere. No Vax, no travel which actually means the world controls your ass. Plus, it looks like some states will be just like China and the EU. Texas here we come. I better learn how to sell over the phone.If you plan to travel, keep your vaccination records handy......

So the very same party that has a fit regarding voter ID...and in their big bill basically want to outlaw voter ID, will now advocate for essentially and ID to travel. In this case proof of vaccine.If you plan to travel, keep your vaccination records handy......

A disease mind you that is not a concern health wise to the VAST majority of the population.
Some kernel or truth here...the early pro-lockdown US Covid stars have been all knocked down a peg or two (some more than others): Cuomo (scandal), Whitmer (scandal), Newsom (recall), Birx (retired), Fauci (while still very respected he's no longer universally admired, and he's 4th of July statements/vaccinated people statements were probably a bridge too far for most). True also of such European countries that had praise gushed on them such as Germany and the Czech Republic.

We tried the low intrusion methods of controlling disease. People like you refused to help.
What did you think would happen? CDC would watch a half million people die and send a tweet saying “the virus will virus”?
That is not how bureaucracies work.
I dunno about this. This is one of those thing like the economy which I'm very much in flux on and see two very different stories developing. Only about 1/3 of moms care already and don't want little Susie going out of the house. Another 1/3 know the vid probably isn't going away, the vid isn't harmful to little Susie, and Susie's probably going to eventually get it if she hasn't already. This 1/3 is ready to move beyond it, and if there's a choice (e.g., Disney isn't requiring them) I think the market is going to push them away from those with restrictions, particularly since for kids vaccine skepticism will run higher than for adults (while I'm perfectly fine getting an mRNA vaccine, I wouldn't stick it in my kids as long as it has an experimental label on it).
Europe tried the higher intrusion methods of controlling disease. It didn't work. The EU is a ss.
I agree that the bureaucracies came under enormous pressure to "do something" so they did things which in the end may have only helped a little, and at a tremendous cost. That's what happens when people panic. Vaccine passports are different. We're now moving into the phase of how can we force everyone to vaccinate (possibly repeatedly vaccinate) given that they can't use force so long as the emergency use label is on the thing...where it gets ugly is when they turn to kids and try to force it, but the ability to have that fight is still a bit aways, hence this more soft power projection.
