The difference being, I think it's funny.

If SC hits 50% I'll be amazed. A large part of the population didn't care before the vaccine. They still don't. 

Masks are a thing of the past. Half the population isn't getting vaccinated. The numbers keep dropping. It's quite funny.

You think it is funny. I think it is sad. 

We'll see if the numbers keep dropping, in a look back 4-8 weeks from now. If vaccine uptake gets better, I expect them to fall. These vaccines are one of the few miracles that most people have ever seen. It is literally staring us in the face, and too many people are ignoring it. John 11:35. 

This meme is true for me: 

I have an opinion on the subject of vaccines and the use of PPE/masks. I'm not going to address that. I would suggest that the meme thread isn't where we should discuss it. 
 

Let us not forget who our hostess is. We care about her and want her to be happy.

Same. Mortality rates around 2% for us (https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality) and everyone goes "oh boo hoo only a 98% chance you'll survive."

People don't understand statistics or probability. A 2% chance that you lose electricity that day means you'll be without electricity for over a week every year. People would be rioting. A 2% chance you'll die of a seasonal flu would mean that you're almost certain to die of the flu in your lifetime. We'd all stop driving if we had a 2% chance of dying in traffic accidents (fatalities would go from 33K to 120K annually). 

I'm in SC and I do not get it. The same guy walks into a gas station to buy food, stops for a McRib on the way home, smokes a pack a day, and won't take a vaccine because he doesn't know what's in it.

Too soon. But the lifecycle is short for Rennbow puns.

There's a meme about that too, but I won't post it.

I don't have a proper meme, but I couldn't help sharing a pic of my desk right now...

...and the funny thing is, it largely echoes the meme. I know the coffee mood won't last, but hopefully by then I'll have accomplished something.
