You don't think there is a gamble/bet when dealing with a vaccine?
there is a gamble with everything. there's a gamble that you would be killed in a car crash going to get lunch. Your brain does the math subconsciously every time you venture out of your home and determines if the risk is worth the reward. I'm not sure how the odds of being injured in a car wreck measure up against the odds of having some bad damage from a vaccine. My subconscious tells me they are similar odds.
Your odds of dying in a car crash are 1 in 103, your odds of dying from a vaccine are under 1 in 1 million. Dummy.
Please show your work to the class on how you pulled those numbers from your ass.
And why just count death? There are a host of no-death injuries cars and vaccines can cause.
Interestingly, one manufacture has a LOT more protections than the other... but I digress.

OAKLAND, Calif. — California has had some of the toughest restrictions in the country to combat the coronavirus, from a complete ban on restaurant dining to travel quarantines and indoor gym closures.
It hasn't been enough.
America's most populous state has become one of the nation's worst epicenters for the disease, setting new records for cases, hospitalizations and deaths almost every day. Things are so bad in Southern California that some patients are being treated in hospital tents, while doctors have begun discussing whether they need to ration care.

A small brush fire is relatively easy to put out.
Once it gets to a blazing inferno with thousands of acres going up, it's a bit more of a problem.
P.S. That's why it's best to catch it when it's still a brush fire. But we're too stupid to realize that.
Apparently the entire planet was too stupid too. Or, this is nature doing naturey things
Or everyone "got tired" and stopped doing the easy things that got this somewhat controlled over the summer.
That plus the predicted wintertime surge when everyone went inside and the holidays. The only way we could have lessened this was to get the numbers so low beforehand that it'd take longer for the wintertime "ramp up." But that might've required more limitations on activities than folks were willing to put up with.

As coronavirus cases surge nationwide, the flu has seen a remarkable dip. Reported cases of influenza reached record lows last week, with fewer than 40 diagnoses recorded during Dec. 13-19.
In week 51 of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's "FluView" data monitoring system, 36 positive flu tests were documented. This marks a steep decrease from last year's total of 7,703 cases during the same time frame. The positivity rate has sharply declined this calendar year as only 0.10% of tests taken this year came back positive. The five-year average is 15.80% positive.
The data comes in defiance of the "twindemic" concerns perpetuated by medical experts, or the idea that the raging coronavirus pandemic and the seasonal increase in reported flu cases would converge with catastrophic results. Dr. Brian Garibaldi, the medical director of Johns Hopkins University’s Biocontainment Unit, told the Washington Examiner that “we have to be concerned about the possibility of having a surge in flu at the same time as we're seeing a surge in COVID.”
“In any given winter, hospitals are taxed by the flu,” Garibaldi said. “There’s always a concern that our emergency departments will be overwhelmed and ICU capacity will be strained [due to the concurrence of flu and COVID-19 outbreaks], particularly with people who have coexisting conditions that then get influenza.”
Some elected officials acknowledged the possibility of a so-called "twindemic" and laid out their proposals to combat a shortage of resources. In September, Gov. Doug Ducey of Arizona expressed concerns about dwindling supplies, vowing he was taking preventive action.
“The overlap of COVID-19 and flu season presents a perfect storm, and we aren’t taking any chances,” Ducey said. “We are approaching this fall with a proactive mindset and plan of action to limit the impact of the flu and preserve hospital resources."
Other governors are taking disease containment plans a step further, shutting their states down for the second time since the COVID-19 pandemic began. States such as California and New York began their second rounds of heightened restrictions earlier this month.
According to the Johns Hopkins University coronavirus tracker, more than 19 million people in the United States have been diagnosed with the coronavirus to date, with more than 333,000 reported deaths attributed to the virus.
how many different ways can these news reporters make it sound as if there is only one ICU bed left in the surrounding area? Jesus, this shit has been going on for months now.

I'm jumping on the Tito Ortiz train after the recall.
Is he talking about running?
If the recall is successful and the GOP actually wants to take the Governorship they will need a star Candidate (like Arnold last time) to get behind.
Tito is honing his skills on the HB City council right now. Refusing to wear a mask and making false accusations against fellow councilmen. He is perfect.
