The 300+ people still dying every day could be practically zero if everyone eligible got the vaccine. https://t.co/4Mbp5jyUeR
And I leave you with this:

Solinger had a tough (really tough) spot to fill in SR. Though I didn't really care for their output post-Bach, I admired him for his role in keeping the band afloat. And, in retrospect, I think he was a better fit than their new singer. Sad for his family and friends and fans.
Oh, and vax and cats. Nuff sed.
