The best vaccine reporting I've seen is David Begnaud on CBS. He interviewed two people in their hospital beds very sick with Covid. They wish they had gotten vaccinated. So why not??

They made their choices---people do not seem to have to deal with their choices--they get better treatment than people who are doing the right thing. People in the hospital with Covid are between 90% and 95% non-vaccinated. People with other issues needing hospitalized are being turned away because of how many there are.
And the only reason any of them wished they had gotten vaccinated is because they became infected. As long as things don't happen to people like that, they don't give a shit.

What is the big deal about getting preventive shots? Here they are required for public - and most private - school attendance and MORE shots for summer camps. As for the military everyone leaving the US had some sort of innoculation! Sometimes questionable as my dad being seconded to Great Britain received yellow fever shots, but perhaps there could have been a crisis somewhere else that needed him!

That's what I want to know -- what's the big deal?? There's a vaccine you need . . . you get shot. I know only one strongly anti-vac person. Don't know her very well. (She's my dog's breeder. On-line relationship.) She claims couple relatives had bad reactions to a vaccine (not covid) so she's NOT getting covid vaccine. I question that. She's just not a person you tell -- YOU HAVE TO.

Joan Didion, the revered author and essayist whose precise social and personal commentary in such classics as “The White Album” and “The Year of Magical Thinking” made her a uniquely clear-eyed critic of turbulent times, has died. She was 87.

Sorry to hear about John Madden but he surely had a good life. I said more about this in the Football Pool thread.

Betty White, TV's perennial Golden Girl, has died. She was 99.
"Even though Betty was about to be 100, I thought she would live forever," her agent and close friend Jeff Witjas tells PEOPLE in a statement on Friday. "I will miss her terribly and so will the animal world that she loved so much. I don't think Betty ever feared passing because she always wanted to be with her most beloved husband Allen Ludden. She believed she would be with him again."

What a grand life full of generosity and grace. Was there ever a time that she did not put a smile on our faces? Thank you Betty White for all the joy you brought to the world.

We were scheduled to go to her Bday party celebration on her 100th bday, Fandango event at AMC theaters. I hope they still have it and make it a tribute.
I have met her at least 3 times, Went to one of the final tapings of Hot in Cleveland and have met her thru Actor and others for animals. Went to a roast they did for her. She will be missed <3

I read probably on Twitter that more people would be toasting to the life of Betty White tonight than to the new year of 2022, so we toasted to both, just to have it covered.
