@clairlemon @BretWeinstein @HistoryBound @mtaibbi Are you are on a campaign to quash all discussion around possible long term safety issues with the vaccines or problems with relying them as the sole strategy for pushing covid-19 into the background? That is antithetical to science and society

On SW flight from DC to St Louis. Maybe 8 total masked out of 100+. A lot, and I mean a lot, of coughing and sniffling around me. Wonder how many tested today before boarding. I did. We reduce spread of this pandemic by doing whatever we can to be responsible citizens.
