Dr. Fauci: "It's not only about you"

Kevin Drum:

I am in Rome and only barely following current events. Nevertheless, I can summarize the latest COVID-19 news for you:

* The Delta variant is bad. It spreads very quickly.

* However, all of the vaccines are very effective against it. They strongly reduce your chance of contracting Delta; and if you have the bad luck to get it anyway, the vaccines massively reduce the severity of COVID.

* So get vaccinated if you prefer not to die. The vaccines are extremely safe.

* And just suck it up and wear a mask unless you're at home or in uncrowded outdoor settings. Is this overkill? It might be. But then again, it might not be. We don't know for sure. So just do it.

That's about it....If you don't want to die, get vaccinated. Nothing has really changed.

The ad Fox News didn't want you to see

Rob's comment:

That Fox turned down $184,854 is a measure of how good this ad is about our country's death cult, proto-fascist political party.
