If they had just gotten the vaccine and worn a mask, we’d be pretty much over this by now. Their selfishness and ignorance is why we’re still dealing with it.
And a lot of it is willful ignorance. They’re listening to Trump and people who are lying to them, and they are believing the lies without taking the slightest bit of impartial investigation for themselves to learn the truth.
The cult of ignorance is literally killing us.
And it’s especially frustrating when you get health care workers objecting to the vaccine. I don’t remember them objecting to getting a flu vaccine in order to work, do you?
Look, a health care worker should lose their job if they don’t believe in science and health. An astronaut should lose their job if they think the earth is flat. A biologist should lose their job if they don’t believe in evolution. A lawyer should lose their job if they refuse to pledge to follow the law. A cop should lose their job if they belong to the klan and therefore don’t believe in protecting the citizens.It’s a job requirement.
Don’t like it? Get another job. Stop putting the rest of us at risk because of your delusions.
A cartoon from 100 years ago that is still relevant
Proud Boys: OMIGOD can’t they keep this sexual stuff off the comics? I don’t want to know about their private lives, I just want to see them fighting! Why do they have to shove this crap in my face?
No, it’s the perfect time to fire anyone who refuses to get vaccinated and who could thus infect vulnerable patients. You want this to end? You need to get the people transferring the virus away from those who can get infected.
The hospitals know this. The doctors know this. The lawyers for the hospitals know this.
But I guess the meme is right: He’s not a smart man.
Things have been crazy lately — been very busy and just not up to talking too much politics, so excuse me for not updating the blog as often as I should.
So today, I’m just going to have a bit of fun. I saw some meme where you assign points to things you’ve never done in your life, and there’s a lot I haven’t done that most other people have. So I’m going to waste your time listing a few here just for the fun of it, but also so I don’t go too long without updating the blog.
Things I Have Never Done (and don’t want to):
Have a hangover
Go skydiving
Get a tattoo
Smoke a cigarette
Take hard, illegal drugs
Get into a fistfight
Break a bone
Cheat on my wife
Go to a strip club
Go to Las Vegas to gamble
Buy lottery tickets
Eat a variety of rare meats
Watch a football game from start to finish
Attend a Mariah Carey convention
Binge-watch the Kardashian TV show
Participate in a riot trying to overthrow an election
“We can’t afford 3.5 trillion over the next ten years to invest in our families and infrastructure and to fight climate change and to give people free college!”
“Guess you’re right. Let’s work on the military budget instead.”
“Sure. That’ll be 7 trillion over the next ten years.”
