Sometimes the person is still in jail, and can't go claim the car. Or in 30 days, has already gotten ahold of another car. The car may have some unpaid tickets.... Which could be thousands, and that has to be paid before the police will release it. I think the car has to also be insured, released only to the registered owner, and that person has to have a valid license. All setbacks.

No vaccine here! I know several people that have had covid and there not dead. I know several that have had the vaccine and there not dead. But I knew one old guy that got the vaccine three days later he ends up dead.

I'm going to take my chances, I don't trust the government! Besides that, I don't Bill Gates following me around.

When President Trump signed Operation Warp Speed, I was skeptical. There were rumors that it was just a scam to enrich his buddies in the healthcare industry, and enrich himself as a shareholder in those pharmaceutical giants who for far too long have lobbied Congress to manipulate pricing and MediCare billing. Then I thought to myself, almost every member of Congress is rich, and probably has a stock portfolio with holdings in healthcare. Only me, and maybe AOC, don't have any money to buy stocks with.
I also believed that companies like Moderna & Novavax, who have been in business for decades and never successfully brought a drug to market, couldn't be trusted because they didn't know what they were doing. I had doubts about a study with 40,000 participants, which included few minorities. I couldn't believe anything the Chinese said about SinoVac, or the Russians with Sputnik.
As the pandemic continues, I still wonder about the long term effects of an experimental drug. A lot of misinformation. It's all misinformation. Nobody has long term data. It simply doesn't exist at the present. Maybe in 10 years, a reputable scientific journal will publish results from a 10 year long study.
What I do believe, is that at the present, most of the Covid deaths are people who have not been vaccinated. It doesn't mean that with a vaccine, you won't get Covid, or that it can't kill you. But statistically, the vaccinated have a better chance of survival. I do believe that infections rates are higher in parts of the world where people are not vaccinated.
What I believe is that Covid will continue to evolve. The Pandemic is a fluid and dynamic situation. The virus could continue to mutate. As with the flu, vaccine resistant strains could develop. Scientist may have to develop a completely different approach to suppress Covid.
Worse case scenario is literally dividing and isolating people by Covid status. Prior exposure, no exposure, vaccinated, unvaccinated. Then forced segregation. Images of internment camps swim through my imagination. A radical worldwide effort to round up all of the people who refuse vaccination, and forcing them behind razor wire, into anti-vax camps. Or the government puts the vaccine into our drinking water, the way the infuse our water supply with fluoride.
Anyway we harvested our first heirloom watermelon today.
