Trends: Covid Down, Dictatorial Urges Up

Silverfiddle Rant!

Q:  What did Covid say to 9/11 at the beginning of 2020?

A: "You think you caused hysteria and made air travel miserable?  Watch this!"

Progressive propaganda outlets like Salon continue to preach their hysterical Scientism-Safetyism religion like an unhinged band of Millerites and Millenarians.  Soon after the vaccination rates stalled, they organized wild-eyed, screaming digital pogroms against the MAGA sinners and heretics who dare question the Orthodoxy of Experts. 

* - btw, we are getting a glimpse of health care decisions if the Democrats ever ram through government-run universal health care:  Your personal choices become everybody else's business, with imperious bureaucrats giving a thumbs-up or thumbs-down to your request for care based on whether or not you conform to the popular morality.

From Salon...

It's time to start firing unvaccinated people: Trump fans are overdue for a lesson in consequences

This from the crowd that pushes programs that perpetually shield people from consequences...

They applaud New York state's totalitarian governor for issuing an ultimatum to health care workers to get vaxxed or get fired:

And every other Democrat who wants to see this pandemic actually come to an end (which should be all of them!) should follow suit. Staffing shortages are a pain, especially during a pandemic, no doubt. But staffing shortages are a minor issue compared to the damage being caused by the unchecked spread of COVID-19, which is increasingly due to one cause: right-wingers who have made refusal to get vaccinated a culture war and identity politics issue. 

Four points:

First off, there is no "unchecked spread" of Covid.  According to the CDC Data Tracker, this spike is on the downward slide.  

(Pssst!  C'mere and look at this!  70% of New York People of Color have chosen not to get the jab) 

Anti-Democratic progressives who have politicized every last corner of our lives are the last ones with any right to complain about culture wars and identity politics.  

Finally, these are the same true believers who nod knowingly when Biden burps out idiotic nonsense like "We're going to protect the vaccinated from the unvaccinated!"

How are you doing?

Anyhoo, what this post was supposed to be about was, how are you doing almost two years into this new era of Endless Panic Pandemic?  Something had to replace the era of Endless Wars...

I'll start:

I got the J&J vax in May once all the elderly and infirm got their pokes.  I was never worried about Covid; I just wanted to get the mask totalitarians off my ass.  My family and I have continued to live our lives as normally as we can in this nutty environment.  Colorado, although solid blue, did not get too crazy.  We had mask mandates indoors for a few months, but that was it.

Still, I look around the nation and shake my head.  Forcing people to stay indoors, shutting down children's playgrounds, quarantining healthy people, forcing people to keep germ-sodden cloths on their faces all day...  

Most grotesque of all is the abuse humorless leftists are inflicting on our nation's children, continuing to treat them as the most vulnerable, when in fact they are the least vulnerable.  If anyone should be left alone to run free during this national panic, it's children, adolescents and young adults.

What say you?  Open fire! Tell us how you and yours have fared, regale us with stories, or just rant.
