Dave Barry's Hilarious "2021 Year in Review" Explained for ESL Learners - Part 3

In this last portion of a 3-part mini-series, we discuss parts of Dave Barry's hilarious "2021 Year in Review" article. Barry is a Pulitzer-Prize winning humorist and satire writer. In this class we discuss line by line Barry's explanation of some of the contradictory ways Americans were viewing the vaccinations as of May 2021. See below:

... the CDC further relaxes its COVID-19 guidelines in response to new scientific data showing that a lot of people have stopped paying attention to CDC guidelines. At this point these are the known facts about the pandemic in America:

—Many Americans have been vaccinated but continue to act as though they have not.

—Many other Americans have not been vaccinated but act as though they have.

—Many of those who got vaccinated hate Donald Trump, who considers the vaccines to be one of his greatest achievements.

—Many who refuse to get vaccinated love Donald Trump.

What do these facts tell us? They tell us that we, as a nation, are insane. But we knew that.
