MD Gov: 8% unvaccinated - responsible for 75% of all the people that are filling COVID beds

from a couple of days ago, seems important -
"We have 92% of our state vaccinated ... but we have overflowing hospitals," says @GovLarryHogan on CNN. "So that 8% of the population who has not been vaccinated is responsible for 75% of all the people that are filling up our COVID beds in the hospital." https://cnn.it/3zgLNVL

"Brandon won"

There’s a guy on my flight wearing a shirt that says “Let’s go Brandon.”

I just politely told him “Brandon won”

They need to DO, not CONSIDER

NEWS: Very, very interesting letter from
@SenSchumer
. He is leaning into changing the Senate rules MUCH more than before. this is as far as Schumer has gone.

He says they will consider a rules change by Jan. 17.


Make no mistake: This week,
@SenateDems
will make clear what happened on January 6th is directly linked to the one-sided, partisan actions being taken by GOP-led state legislatures across the country. We can and must take strong action to stop this anti-democratic march.

There's a lot of things I don't know and I'll never know..

from my cousin in Mexico City - translated from spanish:

I'm vaccinated and no, I don't know what's in it neither this vaccine, nor the ones that gave me as a child nor I know which are the 11 secret herbs and spices of KFC, nor what Hot Dogs have, nor the secret recipe of Coca-Cola or Dr. Pepper or vaccines for babies or kids.

I don't know what's in the ink for tattoos, vaping, Botox and fillings, or all the ingredients in my soap or shampoo or even deodorant. I don't know the long term effect of cell phone use or if the restaurant I just ate at REALLY used clean foods and the cook washed their hands.

There's a lot of things I don't know and I'll never know..

I just know one thing: life is short, very short, it leaves us in the blink of an eye and I still want to do something more than go to work everyday or stay locked in my house.

I still want to travel, sing, dance, and hug people without fear and find a little sense of life we had “before”.

As a child and as an adult I've been vaccinated against measles, measles, polio, measles and many others; my parents and I trusted science and never had to suffer or transmit any of the mentioned diseases and I'm vaccine from:

* To not die of Covid-19.
* NOT require a hospital bed if I get sick
* Hugging my loved ones
* To help me travel easier.
*See and hug my family and friends.
*For Covid-19 to be an old memory.
* To protect us.
* To continue living
