2 strange surveys I saw this morning:
1) 12% of adults say they won’t get the vaccine (NBC News). This is amazingly excellent, and I’ve never seen numbers like that before.
2) 63% of black and Latino respondents state they have no idea where to go to get a shot. I’m not sure how that’s even possible. Literally almost every hospital, drug store and grocery store with a pharmacy offers them. Walmart, Costco, etc.

I think this is what they don't know. These are most likely people with limited education and not the sharpest tools in the shed. Just looking around everyday, it makes me wonder how some folks get through life each day.

Because about 2/3 of those with even mild cases or COVID have lingering effects.
This statement, completely unsupported by factual evidence. convinces me you are indeed merely a religious zealot following the preaching of your priests on the left. If they say it, you believe it because it must be true.

From an article April 12 in National Post of Canada:
Nevertheless, some of the most reliable data on “long COVID” comes from the “COVID Symptom Study,” a U.K. program that recruited thousands of COVID-19 patients to log their long-term symptoms using a smartphone app. Of study participants, only one in 20 reported any symptoms after eight weeks, and only one in 50 were still ill after 12 weeks.

These proportions become even smaller when considering the vast numbers of COVID-19 infections that have gone undetected. According to the U.S. Centres for Disease Control, for every one confirmed case of COVID-19, more than three cases have gone unnoticed — and this ratio has soared as high as 1 to 24 in some regions.

There are sections of most cities that do not have grocery stores, chain drugstores or the other things you and I take for granted. That’s why most towns have set up some sort of mass vaccination sites.

You are misunderstanding my point. I am not saying they still have symptoms. They are presenting with Covid like symptoms weeks afterwards. It doesn’t mean they are worse or going to need hospitalization but that there are still effects. I will post the article on the study when I find it.

There is plenty of BS stories out there to try to frighten people....but the facts are as stated...there is LITTLE or NO risk of long term effects. Statements to the contrary are fear porn...

Did you actually read the quote, by the way? It specifically contradicts what you stated...these folks are NOT presenting with covid symptoms, as you claim they are....that is precisely what they were measuring....

I heard on the news a couple weeks ago that a food desert is described as a place that does not have a grocery store with fresh food within 3 miles. I’m not sure I’ve ever lived anywhere that a grocery store was within 3 miles of me.

Where do you live? I think we have 3 in that radius.

In the Charleston SC area. I live in an upscale neighborhood of homes from $500k to $2.5m. The closest grocery store is 3.2 miles away - I know because I've run there. :) The next closest is 7 miles away. I've run there too, so I know the mileage well.

Except, as your link states:

Of note, those who had an outpatient visit were more often aged 50 years or older, women, non-Hispanic Black and had an underlying diagnosis compared to those without a recorded outpatient visit..

We are discussing what Joe Rogan said, which you described as crazy. He specified healthy 21 year olds.

Fail.
