MA deaths:

March - May 2020: 7046
June 2020 - present: 10,792 = 1,542 deaths/M

Still worse than Sweden.

Why the need to trash Sweden?

Sweden is a monoculture. It's very hard to argue it should be a model for anything. Not putting it down but when the DNA is mostly the same it's easier to treat things. Like it or not but the US has been much more welcoming to immigrants.

The sad thing is this was delayed a year due to covid. The bride says if it's delayed again they just won't do it.

It's behind a paywall what is the summary? I assume it has to do with bidens mandate. It might get stopped by the supreme court and this video is good analysis of it.....https://youtu.be/7QFRlRfsz-4

Same in my case...it was delayed by a year. This time, they didn't want to wait, and in fairness had all reasons to believe that the summer of 2021 was going to be different.

Yes, it is about the mandate. And uh, good (?) luck challenging it. The darling of the right, ACB, has already set the precedent in upholding Indiana University's vaccine mandate for students.

That's Amy supreme court women. She was always a fraud. Trump was a idiot for appointing her. Bidens mandate will be stopped. You need the legislature part of the government to issue something like that. It was known she was for forced vaccinations.

Postal workers are exempt from the mandate they deal with election ballots.

Yeah, Strike 2 against ACB, I suppose, in the eyes of the right. Strike 1 was when she, along with the others, turned back Trump's ridiculous election challenges. Didn't she get the memo, that she was supposed to stay indebted to MAGA for life instead of interpreting the constitution?

"When the DNA is mostly the same?" Do you know of some ethnicity-based treatment of Covid that no one else knows of?

Sure you can. Two of the most popular wedding planning websites, The Knot and Zola, have the option to upload vax cards and test results as an option. Lots of brides and grooms are insisting on it.
