Do Your Best, Darwin

[douglas9]

In this week's glass-half-full/half-empty news on COVID amidst a "staggering" global surge, about half of Americans have now been vaccinated while all adults can be soon, and thousands of raving, babbling, superspreading wingnuts gathered this weekend at a "Health and Freedom" summit in Okalahoma's Broken Arrow - a town that voted four to one against recommending, never mind mandating, mask-wearing, and an apt military termfor a nuclear weapon being lost, stolen or mistakenly detonated - to spread some really dumb, weird, dangerous follies about what is, thanks to the obstreperous likes of them, our ongoing pandemic, like arguing that "vaccinations" are in nefarious fact "experimental gene therapy" aimed at “programming a person’s cells.” Explaining these sordid truths was a not-quite-renowned roster of garbled speakers like the Pillow Guy, Sidney Powell, Michael Flynn, Dr. Rob Marsh, "Promoter of Faith, Family, health and medical truth," Pastor Greg Locke, an "unashamed pastor (who) refuses to bow to the politically correct idols of our culture," Nurse Erin Olszewski, "COVID is 100% Treatable," David 'Nino' Rodriquez, a heavyweight boxer "who unapologetically loves our country and who could physically dismantle me" (according to the program), a former Project Veritas worker who's "all for public hangings," and actor Jim Caviezel, who once played Jesus Christ but is now obsessed with the left's "adrenochroming of children," a forced removal of adrenaline he calls "the worst horror I’ve ever seen. The screaming alone, even if I never, ever, ever saw it, it’s beyond - and these people that do it, umm, there will be no mercy for them.”

2. I am not bothered by the moronic minority. Here's why:

The republiQan party's numbers are falling. They now comprise 25% of the population. Of that, a recent poll said that 43% refuse to get vaccinated.

43% of 25% is 10.75% of the population. That is well below the number that would prevent the rest of us from getting herd immunity. Also, they tend to band together, like lemmings.

So if they choose to get themselves killed, so be it.

3. Sooooo much proof right in our hands that science is real

and absolutely zero proof their invisible sky god even exists, let alone gives a flying f%$#.

4. When the armed anti-maskers besieged the Michigan state capitol,

the governor should have told them, "Now, a lot of you are going to go home and start spreading the virus in counties where it had no presence before."
