The good news is it is pretty clear at this point, pretty obvious at this point, that as soon as you get the vaccine, as soon as that vaccine kicks in, you know, two weeks, three weeks a month in, you should be able to go back to your regular life. This is becoming more and more obvious every single day. Now, members of our government are trying to prolong the agony because, again,

this agony is being used by President Houseplants and crew in order to push forward the

broadest spending bills in American history and they want to do more. But the reality is that

we are now in the waning days of the pandemic. According to Pfizer, they say that real world

data from Israel suggests that vaccine is now 94% effective, 94% effective in preventing

asymptomatic infections, meaning that the vaccine could significantly reduce transmission,

according to Reuters. Also, Pfizer says that the real world data out of Israel shows

its vaccine effectiveness is 97% in preventing symptomatic disease, all symptomatic disease, as well as severe critical

disease and death. Their release notes that 80% of the tested specimens in Israel were the

apparently very, very scary B-117 UK variant. So you've heard all about these variants,

the Mexican variant and the UK variants and the South African variant. The evidence thus far shows

that the vaccine is extremely

effective against the virus. And let's be real about this, even if we're not, we eventually are going to have to go back to our daily lives or eventually going to have to go back to work. This cannot last interminably. And by the way, we are now drawing near the end. We are at the lowest infection rates since the beginning of the pandemic. We are not seeing upticks. Spring break is happening in Florida. We're not seeing upticks in Florida.

If there are upticks, it's among people who are young and relatively invulnerable to COVID-19. The vaccines are going out at an extraordinary rate, a couple million a day at this point. We have now apparently purchased, according to the Washington Post, four times the number of vaccines as the number of adults in the United States. Because I don't know what we're going to use all those extra vaccines for it. Theoretically, we could just give them to allies or we could tranche them out as booster shots or whatever. But here's the reality. We're at the end of this thing. Okay. We're now very close to the end of this thing. And the data are clear. Once you get the vaccine, you should be able to take off the mask and you should be able to hang out with whoever you want, whether or not they are vaccinated.

And if somebody chooses not to get vaccinated that is their own problem if they then get infected that is their problem but people who are vaccinated should feel pretty invulnerable to COVID because statistically speaking they are pretty invulnerable to COVID you know who acknowledges this the CDC have been lying to you. So the CDC will say that if you've been vaccinated, you shouldn't fly. The CDC will say that if you've been vaccinated, you shouldn't get together with large groups of other vaccinated people. The CDC will say to you that you should not get together with people who are unvaccinated in larger than one family groups. All that is crap. You know how I know that's crap? Because the CDC says that if you're vaccinated and you're in a room with a person who then tests COVID positive, you don't even have to quarantine. Which means they're not worried about you transmitting it to others or getting infected. Which means that this thing is over for the people who are vaccinated. And we all know it. And now everybody's just lying about it. In the media at the CDC, they're all lying about this because they would prefer that the COVID crisis be prolonged so they can, quote, build back better. This is now being used as an excuse as it has been for the last couple of months by the Democrats in order to push forward world beating change. Gavin Newsom admitted this in California. He said the recovery is not just going to be a recovery. It's going to be world, we're going to change everything about the way California works, meaning we're going to blow out the spending, meaning we're going to blow out the taxation, because now is the opportunity for us to push our quote-unquote equitable solutions. Now, you may have noticed this pattern before from the political left. The political left has been using climate change as their big bugaboo in order to scare people into vast redistributionist

policies that crack down on free markets and free individual rights. The idea is that climate

change is such a vast threat to the American population and to the global population that we need
