1. So today I want to write a thread I've been nervous to write. In January and February, according to CDC data, 42% of ppl who died of Covid were vaccinated. It's possible that in the near future, a MAJORITY of people dying of Covid may be vaccinated.

It hurts my heart how many US universities tell students to "prove to us that you will be an ethical, moral hero who will stand for what's right above and beyond all others" in their admissions essays just to get in, then will punish them when they do just that on campus.

I'll break it down: We told Biden 'Do not kill those ppl or we will not vote for you.' He went ahead & killed those ppl & still is. So we will not vote for him. His eventual loss to Trump will be his fault, and the fault of Democrats who refuse to nominate someone else, not ours.

If current trends hold, more than twice as many ppl in the U.S. will die of Covid (120,000) in the next year than died of AIDS in its deadliest year (55,000 in 1995). Why is there so little anger about this? So little urgency? Are those dying of Covid acceptably "disposable"?
