Covid Related – 11dec20

George Rebane

With major ongoing national issues, I’m starting what would appear to be bespoke issue-dedicated sandboxes.  Let’s see how well/long this works out.

A reader sent me a link that supports arguments I and others here have made as to why the US has its reported Covid case and mortality numbers.  The Left has effectively screamed all summer long and into the fall that these were due to President Trump’s mishandling of the nation’s C19 response program.  Well, they were wrong on multiple accounts, but with the lamestream’s help, this continuously broadcast message convinced enough people to give us the currently reported and contested election results.

The actual reason for the difficulty in reducing our numbers to that of smaller, more culturally cohesive countries is that we are a large polyglot nation, now highly polarized, and of many cultures, ethnicities, and political persuasions.  Belgium, a much smaller nation of 11M, but otherwise similarly afflicted also demonstrates even higher C19 rates (more here and H/T to reader).  And it doesn’t look like this level of America’s ignorance will be surmounted any time soon – especially now that K-12 schools are starting to embrace ‘critical race theory’ big time.

How eugenics ended up on COVID a related, I haven’t a clue. Its probably all Dr. Rebane’s fault. At this point, what difference does it matter anyway. Another inspirational person sent to the guillotine by the Woke Mob. One can NEVER be woke enough.

TIME's Harsh Take on Helen Keller: ‘Just Another… Privileged White Person’

“Leftists fervently complain about how the American History taught in schools is always insufficiently progressive. This week, Time writer Olivia Waxman expressed disgust that students taught about Helen Keller learn about her childhood, and not her activities as a leftist adult activist, co-founding the American Civil Liberties Union, as well as being an early supporter of the NAACP and birth control. She was a member of the Socialist Party and read her Karl Marx.”...

“[T]o some Black disability rights activists, like Anita Cameron, Helen Keller is not radical at all, ‘just another, despite disabilities, privileged white person,’ and yet another example of history telling the story of privileged white Americans,” TIME reported Tuesday.

“Critics of Helen Keller cite her writings that reflected the popularity of now-dated eugenics theories and her friendship with one of the movement’s supporters Alexander Graham Bell,” TIME added. “The American Foundation for the Blind archivist Helen Selsdon says Keller ‘moved away from that position.'”
Conservatives fired back. Mary Vought tweeted: “You’ve got to be kidding me,” said Mary Vought. “The woke mob is now going after Helen Keller for being white. Never mind the advancements she worked to achieve for those with disabilities.” Donald Trump Jr. replied to Vought: “[T]hey’re now canceling Helen Keller for being white. You can’t make this crap up anymore. You can never be woke enough.” Ted Cruz said “INSANE.”

‘Shameful’: Ilhan Omar Takes Apparent Shot At AOC Over COVID-19 Vaccine‘

“It would makes sense if it was age, but unfortunately it’s of importance and its shameful,” blasted Omar. “We are not more important then [sic] frontline workers, teachers etc. who are making sacrifices everyday.”

“Which is why I won’t take it,” she declared. “People who need it most, should get it. Full stop.”

“Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) was similarly displeased with the COVID-19 vaccine line-jumping by healthy members of Congress. But unlike Omar, Paul called out Ocasio-Cortez by name.

“I was asked about getting vaccinated with others in Congress: It is inappropriate for me – who has already gotten the virus/has immunity – to get in front of elderly/healthcare workers,” he wrote Monday via Twitter. “Same goes for AOC or any young healthy person. They should be among last, not first.”
——-
Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) said she will not be getting the vaccine until “our seniors” have and likewise encouraged all other members of Congress who are healthy and under 65 to wait.

“Heartless, arrogant, unelected CDC bureaucrats have decided that the lives of elderly Americans don’t count. They’re recommending 100 million ‘essential workers’ (i.e. healthy people working at liquor stores or phone companies) can get the vaccine before our grandparents,” argued Gabbard. “This is immoral and bad health policy. I had planned to get the vaccine but will now stand in solidarity with our seniors by not doing so until THEY can. I urge my colleagues who are under 65 and healthy to join me.”

The good news is that Kamala Harris vowed not to take the Trump vaccine. Can’t trust it if it is associated with Trump. Like, did Trump spend millions making the vaccine in the basement of the White House with Hunter Biden helping by adding a little base to the brew.

Looks like Kamala will just have to wait for the Biden vaccine. Always a silver lining as Kamala must prove she is as good as her word. Err. She has proven she is as bad as her word so far.

“ I am well past please. Wear a mask or go to a holding cell with your fellow non maskers. Stay there for 96 hours, automatic go to the end of the line for hospital care.” Doug Keachie.

This is the kind of ridiculous shit that shows why conservatives truly believe that the liberals would throw conservatives in jail for their beliefs. 🤷🏻‍♂️

That isn't ridiculous shit. That's evil shit. Nazi shit. Stalinist shit.

Critical Theory shit.

Keachie shit.

And he was a teacher?

[Barry Pruett]

Yes Greg. It is a slippery slope. Progressives will swear that that won’t happen when they achieve socialism. Lol. It is a lie. People are figuring them out now...and it is nice to see.

[Barry Pruett]

These comments from Keachie on Pelline’s blog pass unchallenged and encouraged. It is a sad state of affairs.

So, the Mayor of Los Angeles is pleading for all down there in LaLa Land to cancell Christmas. He is the same dude who ran for mayor on the single issue of unequivocally abolishing homelessness in LA in ten years. Take it to the bank.

Do not ask any questions about this. Because in “science” if you challenge any assumptions or want more data, you don’t believe in “science.”

Its getting too crazy out there -

LANCASTER, Calif. (AP) — An elderly man hospitalized in Southern California for treatment of COVID-19 was fatally struck by a roommate who became annoyed when the victim began praying, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said Wednesday.

The 82-year-old victim was struck with an oxygen tank on Dec. 17 while housed in a two-person room at Antelope Valley Hospital in Lancaster and died the next day, the department said in a statement. His name was not released.

The suspect, Jesse Martinez, 37, was arrested and charged with murder and other crimes, the department said.

The LIBS "hero". Now,,,, ADMITTED LIAR.
https://dailycaller.com/2020/12/24/anthony-fauci-coronavirus-covid-19-vaccine-herd-immunity/

"Dr. Anthony Fauci reportedly said in a phone interview that he has been deliberately changing his public statements regarding the COVID-19 pandemic because he didn’t think people were ready to hear his true beliefs, according to the New York Times.

Fauci has been slowly increasing the number of Americans he says need to be vaccinated for the U.S. to reach “herd immunity” in public statements, the New York Times reported Thursday morning. He reportedly told the Times he has done so “partly based on new science, and partly on his gut feeling that the country is finally ready to hear what he really thinks.”"

Just like when he stated, that masks were useless.. Then all of a sudden they were.

‘New York Gym Owner Gets Huge Court Win Over Cuomo’s COVID-19 Restrictions’

“Western New York gym owner Robbie Dinero won a court victory over the state of New York that will allow him to open his gym at full capacity. State Supreme Court Judge Paul B. Wojtaszek allowed the gym to open at full capacity. The judge said there was a “right to normalcy” and he threw out the state’s 25% capacity limit. Owner Robbie Dinero was naturally thrilled with the outcome,”

“The whole idea that government officials that are still getting paid, that pay no price for being wrong, can force law-abiding, legal businesses to shut down with no compensation is monstrous. It never should have been allowed to happen and business owners like Robbie Dinero are doing more to fight for freedom, protect our rights, and make this a better country than any government official trying to “protect us” from COVID-19.”
