I have the hardest time trying to figure out Ted Rall’s point on most of his cartoons. And even when I’m satisfied I figured it out, I’m almost never sure.
Yes, considering Neanderthals have been thought to be extinct for the last 50,000 years, suddenly they (or at least their type of thinking) have been proven to survive to this day in the republican party. Now that’s conservative to the max. I had always thought that republicans wanted to take us back to the 19th century. Turns out, they really wanted to take us back an additional 500 centuries further. And Senator Blackburn (TN) is all fine with that. Proudly defends it even.
So nearly 50 million people have had at least one dose of some vaccine or the other. That means that for those 50 million, they have significantly reduced their chances of prematurely going to the grave by a substantial amount.
Just one of the two vaccine doses gives pretty good protection. Better than the average annual flu shot. It’s not certain how long that protection lasts, but with the second booster the protection becomes insanely high as vaccines go. So for the short term, at least, just getting any dose of vaccine is very helpful for the whole population.
