Stay away from crowds.

I never leave my house anymore. But if I have to, I'll be wearing one for sure.

Maybe just lucky, but I've not had covid yet.

TN is not exactly a hotbed of vaccine activity.

It will take a lot longer than a few months for there to be few enough people vaccinated to cause millions to die. Unless there is a new virus that we have no immunity to. Covid took 2 years to kill a million Americans.

Those who are vaccinated against things aren't suddenly going to not be vaccinated. Sure with the law requiring insurance companies to cover certain vaccines, some might charge or not cover some vaccines, but insurance companies use actuarial tables and the data is clear that vaccines save money by preventing disease.

There's never been a virus that killed a million Americans in a season. Even with covid, before there were vaccines and when there were spikes, people changed their behavior. Even in red states this held true although to a lesser extent. Hyperbole isn't a particularly useful thing.

masking will be extra important.

Masking is something we should all be doing during cold/flu season anyway. I noticed during COVID that I stopped catching colds because I was always masked up when we went out in public. We still mask up when we go to the doctor's office or anywhere we will be inside in a crowded space. This will be extra important during flu season and especially if we can't get vaccines this year.

Get a flu vaccine or the proper flu vaccine and die from the flu, especially the elderly.

It’ll be even worse if there is a new pandemic.

Of people who are just as nervous and scared of preventable disease as you are.

Why not try to find people/doctors/organisations who are vaccine supporters and see what they plan to do. Maybe the US could build a citizens coalition to support those who want vaccines.

You have a nutter conspiracist as health secretary; he is not entitled to deny any person a vaccine if they want it.
