peddling denial. but you do get that is not the whole story, right? you understand the vaccine is not a cure-all. it won t get us out of the pandemic, not anytime soon. there are so many out there, i hear you on the radio, i see you on social media, i get your responses to the show. biden s doing a good job, take the win, why do you keep saying the situation is so dire? because it is. vaccine, biden, not enough. he s not trump. he s not going to tell you he s one move away and only he can fix. too many americans insist on falling short. so yeah, the vaccine s a step forward. but we re taking a step and after back. here s the proof. after weeks of steep declines, infections are rising again by more than 10% in 14 states this week compared to last. more states are reopening. is that good or bad? look, i believe it s how you do it and how you handle it on an individual basis. the opportunity is going to be there. what do you do with it? there will be more risk if you don t fly,
