Tucker Carlson’s latest opinion piece once again makes me wish Family Guy was on any other network. Look, Fox, we both know this marriage isn’t working anymore. The sex is only once a year, I don’t get along with your mother, and well… I’ve been having an affair with NBC.

The Aaron Rodgers debacle, coupled with recent comments from celebrities ill-informed about vaccination, is a reminder to quit treating athletes, actors and influencers as role models. Pick a scientist, a doctor, or a teacher instead. You’ll wind up smarter.

This is why, even now, I’ve never succumbed to hubris regarding the dangers of Covid. We REALLY want it to be “just a cold,” but it’s not a cold. It’s neurological, and it’s stealthier than us. Those who have friends with “long Covid” know it’s no joke:

Per the WHO and common sense: The longer people around the world remain unvaccinated, the higher the risk of a more dangerous variant emerging. You may think your vaccination status is a “personal choice”, but it affects the safety of everyone. Do the right thing. Get your shot.

Or, is this going to end up being like the flu, and it won't matter what vaccine you get, you will then get the version of Covid-19 that wasn't planned for.

Herein lies the misconception about vaccination. It’s not only about you, and it’s not just about now. A) Many people suffer from compromised immune systems, and do not respond to vaccination, which makes it incumbent upon the rest of us to vaccinate for their protection as well.
