IMO, treatment is the more productive focus at this point in time.

Itās all treatment. The vaccination program should continue with better messaging.

Instead of trying up be cute and clever why not just say vaccine mandates?

There is no silver bullet messaging. If trump and oreilly canāt convince the non vax group, nothing will.

Apparently everyone except the Bidenāsā¦
They claim nobody saw omicron coming. Which is fascinating because they were warned.
Now Biden has ordered half a billion test kits which we might have by the end of January. At the rate omicron is burning thru the population it will be on the downward side by the time the test arrive.
Just another Biden failure.

No, thereās no silver bullet messaging. There is however a lot of bad messenging - mandates and threats being a big one.
Trump isnāt trying hard enough. Maybe the interview with Owens is the start of something new.
Brandon Inc sucks at messenging.
Oh and retire Fauci.

The vaccine is highly encouraged in Florida as a first defense. But, thank God our governor didnāt get wrapped up in the one shoe fits all line of thinking.

ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā FL bought their own. The LMSM accused him of buying it because he had stocks in the company. If it was the same as everywhere else it should be easy for you to provide monoclonal Antibody treatment sites data in every state starting back in July.

What do you propose would be a better message for vaccination?

Voting is already easy. Mail in ballot only with ID and confirmation of request, ballots must be mailed 2 weeks before the election. Registration only with ID and confirmation. 10 Day early voting, beginning on a Saturday.
All 50 state have that? And there are plenty of polling places on all 50 states, so people do not have to wait in line for hours?
Why did many Republican majority states create new laws regarding voting?

That it is an effective prophylactic therapeutic. Like Trump did with Owens. He needs to do a lot more of that.
No more talk of mandates. No more talk of shunning and shaming.
And change messengers.
Oh and retire Fauci.

Stuck on hindsight, not on foresight.

Maybe just remember that what you post creates a record and when you take a different view, a simple āI changed my viewā would be a good example of intellectual integrity for the whole forum. Itās OK. We all grow and learn and that requires changes in our view sometime.
So are you in favor of a president being chosen by the national popular vote or now⦠now?

Welp, that is starting to catch on.
Ask Biden what it is and I doubt he has a clue much less be able to even pronounce it coherently.
Good luck with that. True colors have already been on full display. I can understand ignorance but I cannot condone the double down on stupidity.

How about we just make them irrelevant?

Iām grateful that there are a lot of people smarter than Brandon et al.
I only mention Trump because heās in the last two elections, which I used to illustrate my point.

I take your meaning now, although I donāt know that agree. For example, do you really suppose that there was an additional 6 million Republican voters in California that could have offset their Democratic counterparts?

Florida was buying and setting up treatment facilities while other states were locking down and promoting the vaccine as the only option.
Folks who have kept themselves informed know the likelihood of the virus mutating and the vaccine becoming less effective.
I wonder if the virus represented the stock market. Would you just invest in one stock or spread the risk/reward?
Florida was using assets from Uncle Sugar to do all of this and balked when the Feds were wanting to distribute to other States in need.
Very poor planning
