    That goes back to the fact our older population is unhealthy compared to Japan.

    We have an obesity problem in this country. It's no secret the majority of hospitalizations and deaths are those who are overweight.

    Couple that with age, it's going to be worse here than in a country like Japan.

    CDC says get vaccinated to prevent serious covid illness. At least exercising does much more for your physical and mental health than does just a vaccine that only works for 6-9 months.

    The dumb part of this is that the CDC already suggests exercising and eating right.

    Physical Activity
    CDC-funded state and local programs

    So what else are they supposed to do, exactly? When Obama tried to change school lunches, Republicans flipped out. When Mayors tried to limit gigantic sodas, Republicans flipped out. So we are pretty much left with suggestions, which is what we already do.

    It’s ridiculous that they didn’t do this. But hey, mask up, lockdown, keep schools closed…

    that worked well LOL. Yes you are way off on this one. Trump, CDC, Biden, have all been a disaster on covid. You keep thinking the cdc did a bang up job. I’ll be here in reality.

    Yeah, they did a bang up job recommending closing parks, playgrounds, beaches and pretty much anything to do outdoors. Good call…

    Your ignorance is showing. You don’t think there were antivaxxers before 2021 and people that were pissed about it? Are you really that clueless?

    Whether either one of us takes the vaccine has nothing to do with how ignorant your post was. Answer the question, did we have antivaxxers and people that were upset with them before 2021?

    Funny thing is, seems like the anti-vaxxers were the fringe ones and the conservatives were the ones calling them crazy for not getting the vax.

    If you think the vaccination passport today is nothing like what the Jews, and other undesirables, went through just to get round town in public then you are less intelligent that I first thought you were.

    All you have to do is look what's happening in Australia and New Zealand to know what's in store for us all.

    This is not even about the vaccine... it's about control...

    People have been preached to about the deadly effects of being obese for decades and the country keeps getting fatter. Telling people they need to lose weight would have done absolutely nothing.
