The vaccines were never intended to stop transmission.
And the more shots you get seems to improve your chances of contracting it. Funny, no?

HONG KONG—The governing body of the city’s oldest university removed a statue commemorating the victims of the Tiananmen Square massacre, felling one of the most prominent monuments to the incident on Chinese soil.
The Council of the University of Hong Kong said in a statement Thursday that it made the decision based on legal and risk assessments. It said that no party had ever obtained approval from the university to display the statue on campus.

Makes sense, since Kingpin is showing up in Hawkeye.

Elkhart, Indiana:
“I can't believe you lived this close and you're not a Notre Dame fan,” Warren joked.
“Not big on watching football,” Ash said. “You know that. I always appreciated the beauty of figure skating over the jocks beating each other silly.”
“I was a jock.”
“So was Michaels. I think his helmet was faulty. Why the SUV?”
“Kate prefers it to her old car. It's easier on her with Aaron and easier to load groceries and whatnot in.”
“What did you do with Kate's car?” Ash's gaze was out the window watching the landscape slip past.
“Gave it to Jen. Bike is good when it's warm. Four tires are better when the snow flies.” He glanced at her. “You okay?”
“Would you believe me if I said I'd rather be heading into a battle with all our enemies at once?” Warren reached over and squeezed her hand. “I really appreciate you taking the time for me.”
“Any time. You know that.”
“I don't like putting other people out,” she said.
“You aren't. You never have.”
Ash turned and smiled. “Thanks. Up there on the right. The gray house with the red van.”

Swords require metal blades, hilts, and hand guards.
Not lazers, lazors, or lasers.

That has been the popular defense (and dont get me wrong; I like the sword thing, too, but I also acceot that it is entirely,because I think the anachronism is very cool. Then there are the "rule of cool is uncool" guys, and I accept that, too), but having been forced to watch most of the movies, I am exceedingly certain that a light saber would puncture a hull, etc, wtc, decompression.
A lightsaber, by definition, is not a sword.

I understand why there are lightsabers in Star Wars; the Jedi Order is (or was) a part of the setting. But there are other examples of swords in scifi. Klingons have the bat'leth. The Narn and Centauri have their own blades. Traveller, Warhammer 40000, and Halo all include swords in their arsenals.
But why? Swords aren't used in combat nowadays, and they aren't about to make a comeback in the battlefield anytime soon. Why would they make a comeback in the far future?
The Traveller rpg has some explanation: Swords are used instead of guns to prevent damaging internal systems when fighting on board a starship. They are a feature on sword & planet stories, so those get a pass. Otherwise, they don't seem to fit in the genre. Maybe there is some technology in the game/fiction that is preventing firearms or lasers from functioning.
Any ideas on this, besides the "swords are cool" trope?
Swords/blades can't breach the hull and cause explosive decompression.

It's an op-ed piece. Don't think the WSJ qualifies as "alt-right".
Oh, and Unclev Lad, about alt-right, "The term is ill-defined, having been used in different ways by alt-right members, media commentators, and academics." Pretty much kills your opinion in my mind.
And if any of you have ever really noticed, what I tend to post here is done without comment. Have a nice day.
