Don't worry. Ashish Jha is here to tell your NPR listening relatives(like, all of mine) that the new COVID variants aren't anything to worry about. He's also here to tell you that he might not keep getting vaccinated. You know, it's annoying and inconvenient, but, he'll "probably continue". What stellar leadership 🙄

@BE I searched for 'long covid' in that article -- it's not there, though I suppose if covid is now merely inconvenient and annoying the risk of long covid from all those mild infections isn't worth mentioning.
@BE Nothing to see here. Move along. 😡
@BE gotta love how 150 years of progress in public health just evaporated with this pandemic. Probably won’t come to haunt us any time soon.
