Anecdote:
One of my colleagues, 55 yo male, good health, got Moderna booster on Monday. Said it kicked his ass. Much worse than shot two. Effects lasted 48hrs. I'll be due for booster late Sept / early Oct.

Holy. Fucking. Shit.
How can this be?
I realize that I speak graph, but how could that be made any more obvious? This needs to be a clarion call.
Holy fucking shit.
Plain as day.
Wake the fuck up.
Only explanation is that this was a genetically engineered virus released by the Chinese to specifically target the superior “Nordic stock” genes of the former president’s devotees.
…clear as day.
It is a bit like Clarke's third law- Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
For many people because of their lack of education, lack of curiosity, this all seems like magic. They want to burn the witches at the stake.
Or on a more sinister note from HG Wells 'Time Machine', the morlocks ate the ewoks. In many respects, the morlocks have been eating the ewoks in our country for a while.
Except that the uneducated are but a subsegment of this cohort. The mind boggles.
That said, I suppose it's not unlike having faith when one is a student of logic. One well-respected and well-liked philosopher once explained how he reconciles being a philosopher, in a relentless pursuit of logic and cogent analysis, and being a follower of Christian faith. (I forget which denomination.) Whilst eloquently and empathetically presented, it still made no sense logically, but it did make sense as a human perspective. All too human.
I know many people who are 'well educated' but use the internet for confirmation bias. It's a self reinforcing loops... It is like uneducating yourself....
(I have this tendency and try to be vigilant.)
But I think most of this is people realizing they are Ewoks and they are sick of being eaten by the Morlocks.
Where is that graph from? Reddit? Or NYTimes/MIT? What county does it refer to?
Teach more science in public schools. Please get vaccinated and encourage others to do likewise.
I believe you’re preaching to the choir here. There have been questions asked about the vaccine and some quality debate but I don’t think anyone here (or very few) have expressed real skepticism about the vaccine.
The next debate will be the booster shots, which seem inevitable but have the possible ethical questions about wealthy nations vs non-wealthy nations who have less access to first or second doses.
The near futility of contact tracing with delta….

Delta halves the time from exposure to symptom onset. Most don't seem to be aware of that. At least the girl, in the video wasn't. If you're infected on a Fri and symptomatic on a Sunday (testing on a Monday), as my wife was, it's tough to do effective contact tracing.
