One of my friends told me today that he got his daughter vaccinated for her 12th birthday.
I told him "You seriously got your daughter vaccinated against a virus that she has a 99.992% chance of surviving?".
He asked me "You not scared your kids will get Delta?". I said they both had it. Ran a low level fever for a day.

He also appeared with and praised America's Frontline Doctors, a group of pro-Trump health care workers that has spread misinformation about the pandemic.
All righty then, let's talk about this august organization "America's Frontline Doctors". It's founder, Dr. Simone Gold, was arrested for, yes, participating in the January 6 insurrection. More about the good doctor Gold:
Gold has been criticized for her views surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccines. Jeffrey Koplan, an epidemiologist, vice president for Global Health at Emory University, and former head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said, "She and her organization show a willful ignorance of science and the scientific method, as well as a disrespect for accomplished scientific institutions and brilliant scientists."[4] Director of Columbia University's Pandemic Resource and Response Initiative Irwin Redlener called Gold a "toxic purveyor of misinformation, now actively contributing to rightwing extremist rhetoric that continues to rile up people determined to hang on to the most egregious Donald Trump lies."
