Fireworks! Goodie!

Ice Cube sees more value in his life than the completion of his $9 million movie contract. That should be a wake up call to a few of the believers.

Good to have Cube on the team. Big fan of his since his ‘Bomb Squad’ days in the 90’s…

One of the biggest idiots at the New York Times –and that is a title with plenty of competition–is Paul Klugman. Here he conflates all sorts of unrelated stuff. But most egregious and glaring, is the idea that the republican governors opposing vaccine mandates are anti-vax crusaders. As far as I know, all of them have urged people to get vaccinated, and have made it very easy to do so. Vaccine mandates are not to be confused with vaccine campaigns. What they oppose is the federal government making it mandatory to be vaccinated.in order to keep your job.

He writes: After all, a successful vaccination campaign that ended the pandemic would have been good political news for Biden.

And yet. The vaccine campaign has supposedly reached the goal they told us would achieve herd immunity. There is now scientific evidence (that even Paul Krugman and the NYT must acknowledge) the vaccines do not in any way stop the spread of Covid. Right there is the end of the mandate discussion, freedom or not.

And he also conflates opposition to the vaccine mandates as GOP. Maybe people are or will be driven that way, but that is also a lie. And: He is calling out many police, firefighters, first responders, nurses, as cowards? Are you kidding? Where was his dumb ass seated for the last 20 months? At home in his pajamas with his laptop, bet on it.

Of course now they are making the argument, presumably with a straight face, in one of the links today that the unvaxxed must get vaccinated…to protect ourselves from the vaccinated!! I didn’t think it could get more insane, but I was wrong.

PAUL KRUGMAN: The cowards, not the crazies, are destroying America

PAUL KRUGMAN: The cowards, not the crazies, are destroying America

In July, Kay Ivey, governor of Alabama, had some strong and sensible things to say about covid-19 vaccines. “I want folks to get vaccinated,” she declared. “That’s the cure. That prevents everything.” She went on to say that the unvaccinated are “letting us down.”

Three months later Ivey directed state agencies not to cooperate with federal covid-19 vaccination mandates.

Ivey’s swift journey from common sense and respect for science to destructive partisan nonsense–nonsense that is killing tens of thousands of Americans–isn’t unique. On the contrary, it was a recapitulation of the journey the Republican Party has taken on issue after issue, from tax cuts to the Big Lie about the 2020 election.

When we talk about the GOP’s moral descent, we tend to focus on the obvious extremists, like the conspiracy theorists who claim that climate change is a hoax and Jan. 6 was a false-flag operation.

But the crazies wouldn’t be driving the Republican agenda so completely if it weren’t for the cowards: Republicans who clearly know better but reliably swallow their misgivings and go along with the party line. And at this point crazies and cowards essentially make up the party’s entire elected wing.

Consider the claim that tax cuts pay for themselves. In 1980, George H.W. Bush, running against Ronald Reagan for the Republican presidential nomination, called that assertion “voodoo economic policy.” Everything we’ve seen since then says that he was right.

But Bush soon climbed down, and by 2017 even supposed “moderates” like Susan Collins accepted claims that the Trump tax cut would reduce, not increase, the budget deficit. (It increased the deficit.)

Or consider climate change. As recently as 2008, John McCain campaigned for president in part on a proposal to put a cap on U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. But at this point Republicans in Congress are united in their opposition to any substantive action to limit global warming, with 30 GOP senators outright denying the overwhelming scientific evidence that human activities are causing climate change.

The falsehoods that are poisoning America’s politics tend to share similar life histories. They begin in cynicism, spread through disinformation, and culminate in capitulation as Republicans who know the truth decide to acquiesce in lies.

Take the claim of a stolen election. Donald Trump never had any evidence on his side but he didn’t care; he just wanted to hold on to power or, failing that, promulgate a lie that would help him retain his hold on the GOP.

Despite the lack of evidence and the failure of every attempt to produce or create a case, however, a steady drumbeat of propaganda has persuaded an overwhelming majority of Republicans that Joe Biden’s victory was illegitimate.

And establishment Republicans, who at first pushed back against the Big Lie, have gone quiet or even begun to promote the falsehood. Thus this week, The Wall Street Journal published, without corrections or fact checks, a letter to the editor from Trump that was full of demonstrable lies, and in so doing gave those lies a new prominent platform.

The GOP’s journey toward what it is now with respect to covid-19–an anti-vaccine, objectively pro-pandemic party–followed the same trajectory.

Although Republicans like Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott claim that their opposition to vaccine requirements is about freedom, the fact that both governors have tried to stop private businesses from requiring customers or staff to be vaccinated shows this is a smoke screen. Pretty clearly, the anti-vaccine push began as an act of politically motivated sabotage. After all, a successful vaccination campaign that ended the pandemic would have been good political news for Biden.

We should note that this sabotage has, so far at least, paid off. While there are multiple reasons many Americans remain unvaccinated, there’s a strong correlation between a county’s political lean and its vaccination and death rates in recent months. And the persistence of covid, which has in turn been a drag on the economy, has been an important factor dragging down Biden’s approval rating.

More important for the internal dynamics of the GOP, however, is that many in the party’s base have bought into assertions that requiring vaccination against covid-19 is somehow a tyrannical intrusion of the state into personal decisions. In fact, many Republican voters appear to have turned against long-standing requirements that parents have their children vaccinated against other contagious diseases.

And true to form, elected Republicans like Ivey who initially spoke in favor of vaccines have folded and surrendered to the extremists, even though they must know that in so doing they will cause many deaths.

I’m not sure exactly why cowardice has become the norm among elected Republicans who aren’t dedicated extremists. But if you want to understand how the GOP became such a threat to everything America should stand for, the cowards are at least as important a factor as the crazies.

OMG Share it!

Libtards like Paul Krugman make it seem as though a year is a very long time to wait until my next opportunity to vote straight-ticket Republican.

About those “needle free vaccine patches”… maybe more than you think. What could go wrong.

”
Storing medical information below the skin’s surface
Specialized invisible dye, delivered along with a vaccine, could enable “on-patient” storage of vaccination history to save lives in regions where paper or digital records aren’t available. ”

Are they trying to “chip” us? What could go wrong? Can’t believe I’m asking the question, but here we are.

Perhaps this is a re-post, but for those wrestling with employer mandates, some legal thoughts coming from Hawaii Family Forum:

He might be referencing the biodistribution studies — such as the one given to the Japanese government. Lipidnanoparticles + luciferase — https://www.pmda.go.jp/drugs/2021/P20210212001/672212000_30300AMX00231_I100_1.pdf#page11

More about the MIT vaccine patch micro dots development. If they can be used to record vaccine status, what other information could they record if desired? Those patches have lots of tiny needle points.

In the future, tiny glowing dots could record medical records in your skin

Fund, I’m on a treadmill trying to type.

My apologies if this has been posted already, Needle Points, a bit of a anit-mandate, pro-vax, anti-novel voice of reason, well written. Needle Points:
“If we didn’t get to have a properly open scientific process, what did we get instead? Government enmeshment with legally indemnified corporations, public health officials misleading Congress, multiple honest regulators leaving the FDA because of inappropriate approvals, FDA heads taking Big Pharma jobs directly related to products they had just been involved in approving, a possible lab leak that couldn’t be discussed as such for more than a year so that it couldn’t be clearly disconfirmed, faceless social media platforms admitting that they control what we see and don’t see, and institutional censorship of many kinds.
If you were trying to create the perfect conditions for public skepticism about vaccines in the midst of a pandemic, could you have done any better than this?”

we’re all foxed up regardless, django.

@ chooch
These days, Pfizer/Moderna biodistribution studies could be performed on vaxxed cadavers — no need to use animals. (It’s disgusting, but dead is dead, and as long as living family doesn’t object, etc., I don’t see an ethical problem.)

True enough tdk. Does anyone else feel strange having to go about their daily business with this sinister plot being realised all around us?

“Genocide,
Racketeering,
Psychopathy,
Entitlement,

And an almost fanatical dedication to the Pope.

They’ll never expect.

I guess that leaves the new question: why is Europe speaking the language of the only nation that’s not a member? France will be all over this. (They already are)

You’re right, that’s an astonishing crash-scene of NYT random. Is this some new method? Like there being so many lies to cover, you can’t possibly address even two of them? Some call this sea lioning.
