Victor and Jack discuss the recent disasters in US policy on the eve of 911 in Afghanistan and on the vaccination. Is the whole policy untenable?

Victor, I think the goal of vaccinating 100% of the populace is ill advised. This virus mutates rapidly. All vaccines are designed to attack one specific feature of a virus, and eventually, a mutation will modify that feature and thus disable the vaccine’s ability to attack the virus. Natural immunity is not so specific, many features of the virus may be able to trigger an immune response, even if they are less likely than that chosen by the vaccine creator. By vaccinating 100% of the population, it is guaranteed that the successful mutants will be immune to the vaccine. And 330,000,000 Americans will provide far more mutation opportunities than a more localized vaccination program devoted to those most in need of the vaccine plus their care givers and family. If we are to protect those most vulnerable to the virus, we should minimize the exposure of the virus to the vaccine. This is the only way to prolong the effectiveness of the the vaccine.
The 100% goal is only valid if the mortality profile is extremely broad and if infections are relatively rare as compared to a respiratory virus. Sometimes there are no good solutions, only those that are less awful.

The Left does not care one bit about social issues. That’s their cover to distract and rile nuts up. They want to drain the Treasury and use America. Their behavior is psychopathic. I am not name calling. I believe this. They are people who will do anything for money. Let’s stop the pretense of social justice. Only 18% of black students can read at a fourth grade level. Whites, about 46%. Beyond belief. The Teachers Union is also greedy, immoral and incompetent. They partner with the Dems to keep their gravy train going. Any idiot can be a teacher and it shows. The Dems also encourage black anhialation. They promote violence and want to keep it going. And they love to see it affecting whites and Asians who are also targets. Destruction, chaos and theft. That’s the Left. By the way, how did all those anonymous, dangerous, poor Afghans get to the airport if OUR people couldn’t? I think they were rounded up in advance and brought to the airport. Treason! I have not seen one white, black, Asian or hispanic face interviewed. I thought we brought Americans home? This is just a Totalitarian takeover to bleed America dry. People always reference the Nazis and ask how the Germans could have allowed that, etc. Its happening now. Why haven’t Biden and his goons been arrested and jailed awaiting trial? No elected representatives or military officers care. All corrupt.
