Spotify is losing two “famous singers” for one momentarily podcast? It’s worth it?

  TBH I have no idea who these two are. I'm not very musical but they seem obscure to me.

    Those are both 70's era rock and folk musicians who were and still are political activists.

    They are massive figures and are not at all obscure in the US, although I wouldn’t be too surprised if people under 25 might not know.

    Neil Young is definitely not an obscure artist lol. He's uber big.

      An artist seeming obscure to certainly doesn't mean they're obscure. It's just I'm very ignorant of anything musical.

According to Reddit, they were both polio survivors as kids.

  After they recovered, did they take the polio vaccine when it was available? Or did exposure and recovery do enough for them?

What annoys me is that if you wanted to see as few people in the US get vaccinated as possible, the best way would be to constantly tell people to get vaccinated and make a big political issue out of it. The people I know that are not vaccinated have nothing against vaccines. They are just the type that if you tell them what to do then that is exactly what they are not going to do.

  > They are just the type that if you tell them what to do then that is exactly what they are not going to do. I wonder what statistics has to say about the life expectancy of people like that. My brother-in-law is the same, he refuses to wear a seat belt because the law says he must. Not exactly the brightest bulb in the pack.

    -> statistics has to say CDC says recovered have better statistics than vaxed. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/wr/mm7104e1.htm https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/wr/mm7104e1.htm 'By early October, persons who survived a previous infection had lower case rates than persons who were vaccinated alone.' Statistics depends mainly on co-morbidities like being overweight. Children almost always recover without vax, according to statistics.
