WSJ<\/a> (might be behind paywall): town in Brazil does \u201cexperiment\u201d where close to 100% of adults get vaccinated, to \u201csurprising\u201d results<\/span><\/p>\n

I obviously use quotations ironically, because it\u2019s pathetic that American media is in this place where common sense is considered experimental, and the results are anything other than flagrantly obvious.\u00a0 The fact that this is happening in Brazil of all places in the world, and not anywhere in the United States is pathetic, sad, disappointing and all other pejoratives applicable to describe just how third<\/span> fourth world America acts sometimes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Needless to say, since nobody actually needs to read the article behind the paywall to take a wild guess at what happens, but when 98% of all adults in a population of 45,000 get vaccinated, coronavirus numbers plummet, and the town of Serrana, Brazil has officially become somewhat of a safe haven oasis from COVID-19, and life has basically turned back into a state of being prior to the pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n

The \u201cexperiment\u201d at this point can be considered a rousing success, and I can only wish that the legions of fucking idiot Americans would use this as a basis to follow suit, but we all know that that\u2019s never going to happen because we are basically the dumbest country on the planet, cumulatively.<\/span><\/p>\n

But yeah, a small town in Brazil; a mostly impoverished country, where they\u2019re mostly known for futbol, Victoria\u2019s Secret models, trolling League of Legends<\/em> and annually converging onto Disney World much to the dismay of those who work there, has basically shown the rest of the world that they\u2019re twelve steps ahead of the curve when it comes to handling the pandemic.\u00a0 They\u2019ve already declared check mate, while the rest of the world is still Googling what a Sicilian or the queen\u2019s gambit is.<\/span><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t like to give Brazil credit if I don\u2019t have to, but good on them for having the common sense to strive for 100% vaccination rates among adults.\u00a0 The rewards are obvious and palpable, and the rest of the world looks like fucking idiots for failing to exercise common sense in the most common sense of scenarios.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
