Yanno..... I'm starting to get cranky that they are offering incentives to vaxidiots.

Rheumatic fever due to strep throat most likely.
These things matter a lot. To the people and their families of course. And combined all the advances of modern medicine have given us about 10 extra years on average. But the impact of these things is trivial compared to the things Summit listed. It's part of the party line that the medical industrial complex pushes--that we owe our lives to modern medicine. Childhood leukemia for example, as terrible as it is for the people it affects is a blip in the overall survival statistics.
Modern medicine has made a a lot of people's lives better--certainly mine, and likely longer as well. It's what I did for 40 years But life span statistics are a lousy way to measure its impact--and the basics still are and always will be more important in health, well being, and life span than all the high tech miracles.
Penicillin certainly qualifies as a medical miracle. But it came into use during WWII and probably saved more lives during the war than in all the years since* (especially since it doesn't work for most of the infections it was originally used for). Now think of how many lives would have been saved if the war had not happened. If people want to save lives, medical breakthroughs are a lousy way to do it.
*made up statistic, but you get the idea.

MISINFORMATION IS A PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS —SO LET’S TREAT IT THAT WAY
Infodemiologists will be new public health champions that can be deployed to any infodemic of misinformation.

KQ has been publicly shitting on supposed friends and neighbors this entire time for not doing what she wants when it comes to the pandemic, up to linking to websites and posting pictures of their farmstands (just one example) to try and shame them.
So this seems par for the course for strangers she deems beneath her.Live Free or Die

Golfer didn't want to get vaccinated. Tested positive. Lost out on some pretty major purse money. Haha, idiot.

Would that be an anti-incentive?

Went to my first post covid indoor restaurant yesterday. Went to Reno to pick up a friend at the airport than had a few hours before my son and his fiancee's flight arrived so we had dinner at some empty obscure strip mall Mexican place. Not exactly the grand re-awakening I had imagined--white tablecloths, tuxedoed waiters, etc. Actually, the food was good. No champagne--just a diet coke for me.
They're getting married at some out of the way wedding venue north of Truckee in August. An hour from Reno, an hour from Truckee. The rental car shortage is playing havoc with the logistics. I'm anticipating a lot of shuttling. (The other kid's wedding was a lot simpler--the two of them, my wife and I, the bride's minister mom officiating, on our deck, in a blizzard. Bride's dad couldn't make it due to the storm.) After the wedding fiasco I'll be ready for another shutdown. Bring on Covid 2021.

Canada will pass Israel this week to become the country with the greatest % of people vaccinated with at least 1 shot. I think everyone I know 12 and up has now had their first shot, and people are all getting their second now. I know 3 people who had their second just yesterday.
https://ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinations
The strategy of getting as many people 1 dose first looks like a genius move. While rolling this out while cases were still high, it kind of motivated everyone to go out and get the shot. Harder to convince the unvaccinated now that things seem to be on a massive decline.
