Someone needs to give Biden’s COVID Response Coordinator Jeffrey Zients a lesson in public relations and common courtesy.
Also a lesson on how to speak to us plebes in flyover country because we do not take kindly to people threatening us or acting all high and mighty.
Zients had the nerve to tell the unvaccinated they face “a winter of severe illness and death for yourselves, your families, and the hospitals you may soon overwhelm.”
I will drop my Yankee mannerisms and use the Southern translation: BLESS YOUR HEART, ZIENTS.
Zients makes it better by admitting you can still get sick with the vaccine and booster:
Our vaccines work against Omicron, especially for people who get booster shots when they are eligible. If you are vaccinated, you could test positive. But if you do get COVID, your case will likely be asymptomatic or mild.
Zients issues an end-of-the-world warning to the unvaccinated but don’t panic:
We are prepared to confront this new challenge. We have plenty of vaccines and booster shots available at convenient locations and for no cost. There is clear guidance on masking to help slow the spread. And we have emergency medical teams to respond to surges as necessary.So, this is not a moment to panic because we know how to protect people and we have the tools to do it. But we need the American people to do their part to protect themselves, their children, and their communities.
So do the vaccines and boosters work or not, bro? If they worked then no one would get it at all, asymptomatic or mild. Which one is it?
Stop trying to appeal to everyone. Anyone with common sense knows that the vaccines, like the flu and pneumonia, are not 100% guarantees you will not get sick.
Why? Because it’s a virus. There are so many strains out there. That is why people with flu and pneumonia shots still get sick. They just got a different strain than the one in the shot.
If you get the COVID vaccine to protect others then I hope you’re also getting the flu shot and stay updated on other vaccines like measles and mumps.
