In Vain?

One thing that hit me back in March 2020 is that the discussion of medical matters by partisan Democrats was immediately incorporated into their constant political warfare. (The partisan Democrats I encounter are spewing rubbish on our Fakebook wall or participate in one of three forums I frequent, from two of which I’ve been banned). So, Trump mentions in one press conference that hyroxychloroquine might be a ‘game changer’ (based on on-the-fly use of the drug in France) and the idiots begin trafficking the notion that the President is promoting patent medicines. Ivermectin has been subject to the same treatment by these fools. Then there is the ‘trust the science’ bilge, which actually means being unquestionably obedient to the pronouncements of government officials drawn from guilds whose members rountinely vote Democratic. After their peregrinations over masks (the latest episode of which was the CDC director pulling a nonsense number out of her rectum and claiming that mask usage could reduce contagion by 80%) and the statement signed by a three digit population of public health specialists informing us that buts-to-nuts public demonstrations were fine and dandy as long as they were to protest the ‘public health problem’ of ‘racism’, no sentient person takes these clowns seriously. The vaccine is not sterilizing and the virus is not peculiarly contagious, so the analogy the idiots on our Fakebook wall keep drawing to early childhood immunizations does not hold. People under 25 are in almost no danger from this virus and people under 45 are in danger only if morbidly obese; there is absolutely no point in pushing the vaccine in schools. And, of course, it’s like a flu shot; it’s not that effective and it wears off. But they’re attempting to bully private enterprise and public employees into wearing masks and taking the vaccine against their better judgment. Terms like ‘progressive’ and ‘Democrat’ are now synonyms for ‘stupid asshole’.
