I know I'm going to try to be first in line, but what about the rest of you? I'm not sure if the death count is where the science community wants it to be, plus Birdbrain hasn't been sworn in, so I expect there will be delays, but that's beside the point.

I think you are doing some unmerited projection.
There might be some who take an 'active' stance against vaxxing, but it seems more that the bulk of those unvaxxed at this point are just unmotivated to so much as lift a[another] finger for the benefit of people who badmouth and lie about them anyway.
They've already done a shit ton of compliance and sacrificing, and everyone else is still more interested in their own resentments and petty battles and dishonest narratives than anything productive.
It's not feelings or active resistance so much as exhaustion and disengagement with the whole drama. [Reply]

It doesn't help that arbiters of truth are proving time again to be inept at parsing the truth. It doesn't help that those arbiters of truth no longer try to be objective and actively use their power to further an ideology. My intuition tells me its more of a scamdemic than pandemic. I want to participate in that scamdemic as little as possible. [Reply]

By early April, the Strategic National Stockpile had been depleted, and around the same time President Trump invoked the Defense Production Act to have manufacturing chains across the U.S. focus on making vital medical equipment such as ventilators and masks.
Fauci continued to say that they wanted to give as many masks as possible to front line workers and emergency personnel.
“We wanted to make sure that the people, namely the health care workers, who were brave enough to put themselves in a harm way, to take care of people who you know were infected with the coronavirus and the danger of them getting infected,” Fauci concluded.

Just saying....
Fauci acknowledged that part of his reasoning for not recommending masks in early March was the paucity of PPE during the 60 Minutes interview. [Reply]
