marjaerwinOkay,
1st of all, lockdowns can work. And they have worked in Tasmania and New Zealand and they can slow things down elsewhere.
2nd, less drastic social distancing can slow things down.
3rd, mass gatherings tend to speed things up.
4th, vaccines can work, they aren’t absolute protection, but they reduce the risk and severity of infections. Not everyone can get vaccinated, not everyone who can’t can get through any special bureaucracy, but those of us who can get vaccinated should to protect those who can’t.
5th, apart from health-care workers, it’s more important to get vaccines to poorer countries than 3rd booster shots in richer countries.
That said, the cops shouldn’t be beating either side up.
Trigger warning for police violence:
