Mild Rants

 A higher up with WHO(not Canadian Rock group,  World Health Organization) is hanging his hat on a LAME ANALOGY.   He compares United States vaccine lack of generosity with steerage section of the Titanic which did not get any life preservers after ship struck iceberg.  For those not maritime inclined, the steerage section is group of poorer passengers including some workers and cheap ticket holders.  Leo DeCaprio won his ticket in a poker hand before his steamy banging Kate Winslet handprint on Windshield scene. Read Two Years Before the Mast by Richard Dana for more familiarity with ship life and vernacular.  Dr. Michael Ryan should stick to being damn doctor rathe than a moralizing first class versus steerage class kind of guy! Let's see Doc, the US did the R&D, absorbed the massive costs of production and distribution AND we are the bad guys!! Who gives a crap what your political views are when you are probably first in line for the booster jab...

 I wonder if the Cuban born business owner in Florida was a proud supporter of their head case governor who has repeatedly downplayed the effectiveness of Moderna's COVID vaccine until it was too late to save the very citizenry who elected the fool!  Frank Saks spent 65 hours a week at work probably exposing himself to the multitudes one too many times. One of his daughters indicated on radio that Dad was not vaccine hesitant but had heard of potential nasty side effect which deterred his decision to get the vaccine which would have given him many more years to be with his grandchildren. The side effect could not have been worse than his isolated death where his loved ones could not hold his hand.  Shame on Ron DeSantis for misleading Floridians!!
