Florida has done well on COVID compared to most other States because we have the highest average age of persons and the wisdom that goes with that. Vulnerable elders and the acutely compliant understand there will always be incorrigible people who will refuse to do the right thing, be it wash their hands, stay home when sick, wear a mask inside assembly spaces, observe social distance, or get a vaccination if their doctor says it is safe to do so. Of course don't get the shot if your doctor tells you not to get it.
But this speech is an indication that the eradication of polio and small pox and tuberculosis has been so thorough in the United States that no one has any memory of what a blessing the polio and small pox and tuberculosis vaccines were and are. I had an aunt who spent her life in a wheelchair after getting polio. The guy who helped me start my business died of COVID. Now we have a culture of politicians and their supporters who do not understand public health nor really care. We, of all nations, with an abundance of vaccines and economic power, had a chance to snuff out or very significantly suppress COVID and get this disruption over with and our lives in a better place. Others seem to have found a new cause for disrupting the nation and dragging this ordeal out for political gain. If you can, get the shot, keep up on the other virus countermeasures, and let's get this over with.
