To hear the full episode, become a patron at petriam.com slash death panel pod.

Considering the fact that is now difficult to ignore that there is breakthrough transmission,

even if it's not leading to fucking severe disease and death, like it's still moving throughout the population.

And there are still young children who can't get the vaccine people with cancer

older people immune compromise people who the fuck knows plus the more that it spreads the more

evolution it has a chance to do and i'm not even like factoring that stuff in i'm just talking

baseline covid never changes again which is literally impossible but like let's say COVID never evolves again from which is literally impossible. But like, let's say

COVID never evolves again from this point forward. It's still a huge problem. Right. And I think,

you know, as we're seeing with, and maybe this is actually a good moment to transition to talking

about the eviction warrant war. But I think the way that asymptomatic and symptomatic cases within the vaccinated

population come to be understood is going to be incredibly important over the next couple

of months because I think that's ultimately going to dictate what kind of response we see.

You know, is this going to become sort of like HIV AIDS where it's endemic and your class

dictates the care that you receive and your ability to become infected or not or your protection

from infection? Like, absolutely a possibility. It all depends on what meaning we make of these

breakthrough infections and the meaning of what those are right now, I think,

is really being challenged. Well, and I think worse than that, I think that's the baseline.

And to have it not be that would require active, affirmative, specific effort.

That is clearly not happening.

So anyway.

Right.

And I think that this is a nice kind of transition point to talk about the eviction
