This is not nature\u2019s judgment, it\u2019s not a sign of irresponsibility, it\u2019s not a sign that she\u2019s been watching Fox <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a> or listening to Joe Rogan (although she probably should \u2014 she could learn something). It\u2019s not a sign of anything except that everybody is getting this mothraforking virus, vaccinated or not.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, but also it\u2019s maybe a wee small indicator that AOC\u2019s views of how the virus works have been given the REJECTED stamp by the Celestial Commissar of Irony. Get well soon, Congressperson!<\/p>\n<p>Being young, fit and vaccinated, Ocasio-Cortez is likely to suffer very little from COVID, and I certainly hope that\u2019s how it turns out. But it\u2019s as clear as the mask on your face that the virus is not going to be confined. Like Al Franken, its dirty little hands are everywhere. <\/p>\n<p>Whether you live in a red state or the bluest district of the bluest state and merely spend your Christmas vacation in a red state because that\u2019s the only way to have fun anymore, the virus will probably get you, just as everybody catches colds. Defeating the virus by shunning the unvaxxed is not an option. Note that the copiously vaxxed are superspreading the thing at BuzzFeed parties. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/AOC-5.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Rep.

Even in sophisticated, please-let-government-run-everything Europe, vaccine uptake has stalled out: at 75% fully vaccinated in France, 71% in the UK and 68% in Switzerland. It\u2019s at 62% in the US. <\/p>\n<p>The US is and always has been more individualistic and liberty-loving than other countries, so we\u2019re never going to get near 100%, and we\u2019re also younger than other countries, meaning fewer of our people actually need the vaccine against a disease whose impact varies hugely by age. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"998\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/AOC_maskless_04.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Rep.
