This was a great column from Stacy Rudin on Medium. If you question the efficacy of masks, “you want to kill grandma”, “you’re ignoring science”, “you’d kill people to revive the ecomony”, “you’re a Trump supporter”, etc.
Not really. We, the thinking people, have questions, as we should.
Yes, having fun is the worst possible thing you could do now. Traveling? Especially to Vegas? Even worse. You’d be “gambling with your life” according to Pro Publica.
Breaking news: There is inherent risk in LIVING. Getting on a plane that might crash, sitting next to someone who, even before March 2020, could give you God-knows-what disease. Drinking too much in Vegas. Hooking up in Vegas, and getting God-knows-what disease…Blowing the house payment on the penny slots…
Enough, already!
Of course the journalists writing this and the doctors they interview for the story have not lost a paycheck. As usual. Why don’t they talk to some business owners who have lost everything? Get their thoughts on things?
In an interesting blog post, this comedy club owner and native New Yorker clearly outlines why he believes NYC won’t come back from the economic and societal changes caused by the pandemic. He makes some great points, many of which apply to Vegas, I’m afraid.
What he fails to mention are the economic policies created by liberal politicians who made the lockdown worse, and recovery less likely, as wealthy people have fled the high taxes and see no need to return.
There’s more and more talk of “tracking” people who’ve had Covid-19, had the vaccine, or haven’t had either one, through biometrics.
This is a great opportunity for those who want to track our health and possibly our movements, to be able to justify it under the guise of what’s best for “public health”. You may not care about what happens in Third World countries, or the feasibility of tracking people with no access to clean water, much less the Internet, but Immunity Passports may be the next requirement for travel.
So much for ever seeing Israel! And I really wanted to go, too.
Are they serious? A couple of medical “experts” from Case Western University submitted an editorial to USA Today where they clearly outlined their vision for the vaccine that isn’t even here yet. Getting the rushed-to-market vaccine is “patriotic”, and religious objections will NOT be allowed. “Personal preference” objections violate the “social contract”. I see.
This would seem outrageous and impossible to enforce, if it weren’t for the implications of not being allowed to go certain places or hold a job if you aren’t vaccinated. Others have called for that, too.
These clowns want people to carry “immunization cards” to prove they’ve been vaccinated. For what, a virus strain that will go away and be replaced by another one in a few years?
And what about people like me, who’ve already had Covid? We’re off the hook, right?
Who will be forced to get the jab first? Medical professionals? First responders? TEACHERS? Hairdressers? Anyone who works in hospitality, like CASINO and CRUISE SHIP workers? Serious questions we need to be asking.
I harbor no ill will toward any adult who wants to add or subtract a body part or take hormones. That’s a choice they should be free to make, although extensive research has proven they’re not happier after surgery. Suicide rates are higher among transgenders, etc. That being said, it is EVIL to allow children, who cannot consent to anything else, to become medical eunuchs. Regardless of how you feel about it, government shouldn’t be paying for ANY of this. But that’s California – what do you expect?
Nothing to see here. Just Bill Gates talking about the part of the brain linked to “religious fanaticism”, and how it could be altered with a vaccine. Preferably a “respiratory or flu vaccine”. Would this just apply to the guys in pajamas, and stop them from blowing everything and everyone up in the name of Allah, or does this apply to anyone of faith? I have some questions…
Here’s what I don’t understand: If you want to wear a mask, do it, (most places require it anyway), but clearly you cannot HIT a complete stranger for not wearing one. If you’re that concerned you’re going to DIE if you get near someone not wearing a mask, stay HOME, or stay AWAY from them in the store! I thought that 6 feet thing was supposed to protect everyone?
This guy. While so many people are STILL waiting for their unemployment benefits, he’s taking advantage. We should allow the Nevadans who’ve gone without ANY assistance to decide on his punishment.
Who’s surprised that Chinese censorship affected the information we needed here in the States? That’s why it’s more properly called the China Flu, whether or not people like it.
