Ever look at the COVID numbers lately? You should.
Then tell me how great Biden is doing and how great the vaccines are...

I had a discussion with a friend about this yesterday after I said the vaccines were clearly a major disappointment.
He barked back that he disagreed and thought they were fantastic. He went on to compare them to flu vaccines which also only last about 6 months. He pointed out that in the case of the flu that's OK because its seasonal and you need a new one every year anyway. Covid may be seasonal but it's always spreading somewhere in the country. So this a tougher virus.
I told him, "all true, but he was grading it on a curve. The flu vaccines are adequate, but they don't work very well either".
I told him, "Some of the vaccines we get as children last a lifetime, the tetanus vaccine lasts 10 years, Shingrix for shingles lasts 5 years, etc... Those vaccines work better, last longer, and have very good or great long term safety profiles".
Notice how they never compare this mediocrity to vaccines that actually work really well.
