Dying in the Name of Vaccine Freedom | NYT Opinion

In the video above, Alexander Stockton, a producer on the Opinion Video team, explores two of the main reasons the number of Covid cases is soaring once again in the United States: vaccine hesitancy and refusal.“It’s hard to watch the pandemic drag on as Americans refuse the vaccine in the name of freedom,” he says.Seeking understanding, Mr. Stockton travels to Mountain Home, Ark., in the Ozarks, a region with galloping contagion and — not unrelated — abysmal vaccination rates.He finds that a range of feelings and beliefs underpins the low rates — including fear, skepticism and a libertarian strain of defiance.This doubt even extends to the staff at a regional hospital, where about half of the medical personnel are not vaccinated — even while the intensive care unit is crowded with unvaccinated Covid patients fighting for their lives.Mountain Home — like the United States as a whole — is caught in a tug of war between private liberty and public health. But Mr. Stockton suggests that unless government upholds its duty to protect Americans, keeping the common good in mind, this may be a battle with no end.

Texas's power disaster is a warning sign for the US

America's power grid is not ready.Subscribe and turn on notifications (🔔 ) so you don't miss any videos: http://goo.gl/0bsAjOIn February, extreme cold and an unusual winter storm left millions of Texans in the dark. Many went without power or water, in subzero temperatures, for nearly five days. It was a disaster; dozens died. But even though that storm hit much of the country, the power outages were mostly limited to Texas. That’s because Texas is on its own electrical grid, separate from the rest of the country, which means it can’t easily get power from other states in an emergency.But Texas's grid itself is not what failed. Power went out across Texas in the first place because energy sources across the state were unprepared for severe weather. And that didn’t have to happen; Texas had been warned about this exact scenario, and had actually experienced versions of it twice in the last 30 years. But they didn’t prepare.Now the rest of the US faces the same issue. Climate change is making severe weather disasters more and more frequent. And the American energy system is not ready for it.Read more about what happened in Texas and about the US electrical grid: https://www.vox.com/22289517/texas-storm-uri-weather-power-outage-snowAnd check out more coverage of the Texas power crisis from the Texas Tribune: https://www.texastribune.org/2021/02/22/texas-power-grid-extreme-weather/Vox.com is a news website that helps you cut through the noise and understand what's really driving the events in the headlines.

Why South Africa is still so segregated

How centuries of division built one of the most unequal countries on earth.Subscribe to our channel! http://goo.gl/0bsAjOFor decades, South Africa was under apartheid: a series of laws that divided people by race. Then, in the 1990s, those laws were dismantled. But many of the barriers they created continue to divide South Africans by skin color - which in turn determines their quality of life, access to jobs, and wealth. Racial division was built into the fabric of cities throughout South Africa, and it still hasn't been uprooted.That's partly because, while apartheid was the culmination of South Africa's racial divisions, it wasn't the beginning of them. That story starts closer to the 1800s, when the British built a network of railroads that transformed the region's economy into one that excluded most Black people -- and then made that exclusion the law.Sources and further reading:If you want to learn more about the railroads and how they impacted Cape Colony’s economy, check out this paper by Johan Fourie and Alonso Herranz Loncan:https://academic.oup.com/ereh/article-abstract/22/1/73/3930943?redirectedFrom=fulltextTo understand segregation in South Africa’s major urban centers, take a look at this paper about segregation and inequality: https://www.seri-sa.org/images/SERI_Edged_out_report_Final.pdfFor more information on post-Apartheid cities, you can read this paper by Edgar Pieterse (who we feature in the video):https://www.africancentreforcities.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/post-apartheid_geographies_pieterse_15dec09.pdf To explore the history and legacy of District Six, visit the District Six Museum website:https://www.districtsix.co.za/Thanks for watching and let us know what you think in the comments!Vox.com is a news website that helps you cut through the noise and understand what's really driving the events in the headlines.
