@fletchermalenkos3301 Covid-19 is both more lethal, and leaves more infected people disabled, than polio did. Yet everyone got vaccinated for polio.

@arceusthomas2447 Yes, his numbers are a bit low. According to Augusta University and the University of Georgia, between 98% to 99% of Covid-19 deaths are in the unvaccinated. According to a study done in May 2021, only 0.8% of Covid-19 deaths were in vaccinated individuals.

@dontpanic1812 I wouldn't call it substantial funding, but sure, the FDA does require processing fees, from pharmaceutical manufacturers, to help defray the cost of determining if a drug is safe. Just like businesses have to pay to get an LLC, and you have to pay a fee to get a driver's license.

I'm happy Walensky has taken communication lessons, to better perform her job. Science may be exact, but public health combines science with mitigation of human behavior. And human behavior is often illogical. Walensky can't just remove a pump handle, to stop this pandemic, she has to convince irrational people to behave in a rational manner. One would have thought, when we were offered free, safe and highly effective vaccines, everyone would have quickly become vaccinated. Sadly, too many people are incapable of making a rational risk assessment, and doing the right thing, and the pandemic rages on. So now this woman, trained to think in a logical manner, has to communicate to very illogical, highly obstructive and obstinate people. No wonder she felt she needed help.

No matter how clearly rules and regulations are stated, there are always fools who don't understand. Have you looked at the CDC website. It's pretty clear to me.

No, there are known-unknowns, not unknouwn-knowns. You're trying to be clever, and failing badly.
