The Reasons that Puerto Rico has the Highest Vaccination Rate in the Country
Puerto Rico has the highest vaccination rate in the United States with 73% of its 3.3 million residents fully vaccinated, according to the US Centers for Disease Control. It also has one of the lowest Covid transmission rates. That's an amazing accomplishment for one of the poorest regions of the country with a relatively thin healthcare infrastructure. Moreover, they have done it while suffering through frequent power outages and earthquakes. There are several reasons for P

Biden's Bold Decision is Legal, Popular, and Will Save American Lives
To a majority of Americans, President Joe Biden's decision to mandate the Covid vaccine for a large portion of our population is just common sense. Most of us are tired of the inane excuses and bizarre conspiracy theories, and understand that the unvaccinated are the reason that the virus has space to mutate into increasingly dangerous forms. And, if I meet one more person who tells me that the vaccine is part of a plot to sterilize white people, I think my head will explode.

New Survey Shows the Great Immunization Divide in America
NBC News just completed polling to determine who has been vaccinated in America and it sheds quite a bit of light on the anti-vax problem in the country. Overall, 69% of Americans have received the shots so far, but that is still far short of the 85% that many scientists now say we will need to dramatically reduce transmissions in the population. Most Americans who have been following the science regarding Covid are dumbfounded by the anti-vax nonsense being peddled on social

It's Simple; Your "Liberty" Does Not Include the Right to Infect Other People With a Deadly Disease
The truth is that the vaccinated population is fed up with the litany of inane excuses that unvaccinated people have for not getting the shots. No one wants to hear one more word about microchips and weird sterilization myths. At first, it was mildly humorous, but now it's preventing us from reaching herd immunity within the overall population and forcing the rational portion of the country to strap on masks again to protect ourselves from the idiots. Enough already. Because

Ron DeSantis is Putting His Political Ambitions above the Health of Floridians
I was in Florida last week as Covid cases spiked again and opinions about the state's Governor, Ron DeSantis, seem to be equally divided. Some believe he is protecting their right to make poor decisions about their health, and others think he is willing to sacrifice lives to further his political ambitions. The later stance was captured yesterday by Dean Obeidallah, of MSNBC. MSNBC: "There should be a special place in hell — or potentially in prison — for politicians who put

Craziest Right-Wing Conspiracy Theories of the Week, the Trumpist Death Cult Edition
Most sane Americans hoped that after Donald Trump was sent to the ashbin of history, we could all return to some sense of normalcy in our political discourse, discussing the issues of the day based on science, reason, and solid research. Boy, were we wrong! Since the November election and, especially since the January 6th insurrection, America's right-wing has amped up the nonsense to unprecedented levels, concocting new plots and conspiracy theories on a daily basis. They ru
