Is there some number of seniors that intend to get vaccinated but haven’t yet? If so, what are they waiting for? I’m hopeful seeing the Villages Health is now inoculating their members.

We have our share of AntiVaccine folks. As they die from Covid, we will move closer to herd immunity.

Agree. "I don't need the vaccine", they said while enjoying life without polio, rubella, measles, mumps, tetanus, whooping cough, smallpox, diphtheria, rabies, and a bunch of other 1800's stuff.

Women who marched to gain the right to vote, black Americans who marched for equal rights and those who marched to end the Vietnam War - would all disagree with you.

There were more strong, stalwart, independent thinkers who didn't march, but stood for themselves and supported themselves and taught us and nursed us and led us. My grandmother and my husbands. My daughters husbands grandmothers. They were the first to drive cars and deliver babies and run a business. Their husbands married them in part because of their strength and their clear and good ideas on things.

Marching itself has very little to do with social activism. Nowadays it causes more trouble than it helps the cause. Marching is a form of propaganda that people are spoon fed these days. Madame Curie didn't march.
