    That's an image that will stick in my head. Just don't go smarting off to Satan or his minions.

    No, she got booked on all those talk shows because of the two big things she had going for her.

    Neither, but closer to the former.

    Seems like swing states are the biggest increase in cases, while Trump counties have the biggest increase in deaths.

    I guess depending on who is getting sick in swing districts, it could help one party or the other.

    All anecdotal, obviously, but I'd disagree that they were any louder than the religious fundy zealots about this.

    I rarely if ever heard anti vaccine stuff from religious zealots. Usually the religious types were all screaming at us how everything was a sin.

    In my day the hippie types more raved on about antibiotics than vaxx. People only started talking about vaxx once they had kids

    Marcus Lamb died of COVID. His wife asked for prayers to raise his oxygen level and to help him coming home again. After his death his family wrote a note that their beloved father/husband etc went home to his god. Too few or too many prayers received? Those prayers seem a difficult thing.

    Anyway, hopefully this is the end of that Daystar shit show.

    Yes. See the Bojo regime.

    It's a feature of popularism.

    Thus, my anecdotal caveat.

    Well... I s'pose.

    TBH, with the bunch of misanthropes and misogynists on this sausage-fest I thought it was rather obvious :D

    A lot of you are about to get what you wished for...

    Anyone who doesn't have their booster might as well go get one now, even if the 3-month window hasn't elapsed yet. We've found a clinic doing walk-ins that will take us on the 16th.

    "WND"? Yup, that's a "Brilliant" source there, Dutch.

    I read it and, frankly, he does not say much.

    I should note:
    He has been spreading COVID-19 (and vaccine) misinformation for 18 months.
    He was one of the people testing a combination of Hydroxychloroquine and Pepcid AC (a heartburn medicine) as a "treatment" for COVID-19.
    He has been spreading stories about ivermectin, the horse paste.
    He lied about the FDA not granting approval for the vaccine.
    He has appeared on Steve Bannon's podcast, spreading disinformation about the vaccine.


    May I provide a more reliable source, sir?

    The Vaccine Scientist Spreading Vaccine Misinformation
    Robert Malone claims to have invented mRNA technology. Why is he trying so hard to undermine its use?

    Did you watch the video where he actually speaks?? Why attack WND when all they do is quote his words verbatim.

    AFA him spreading "misinformation" I would think the inventor of mRNA would know a littlebit of what he's talking about

    "Why attack WND when all they do is quote his words verbatim"?
    WND is not a reliable news source at all. It is a combination of right wing nutcases, conspiracy theories and evangelical crazies.
    They have peddled right wing conspiracy nonsense for two decades.
    The fact that you chose this source as your source to buttress your insane ramblings and "merely asking questions" nonsense really speaks volumes about you.

    He is NOT the "inventor of mRNA" and says as much in the video.
    I quote from the article: "He explained that he didn't invent mRNA..."

    He should know what he is talking about, but he is spreading lies and disinformation.
    I have no idea why he is doing this.

    Ask yourself why he is ONLY going on far rightwing media, Glenn Beck, Tucker Carlson, and Steven Bannon, as he lovingly discusses in the video?

    He spends much of the video bitching about "freedom," versus vaccines.
    I quote from the video: "Do you believe in those fundamental rights that are in the Bill of Rights or do you want to live in a collective like in China?"
    That is the absolute epitome of right wing disinformation and the false choice they are spreading.
    It also has NOTHING to do with the vaccine whatsoever. It is a right wing canard and has no business in any serious discourse about health and health policy.

    Please read the article I posted in The Atlantic.

    I am moving on from this conversation.

    Illinois reported 11k cases yesterday which is crazy but also had a huge number of tests and a lower positivity rate than the day before. Probably some backlog bumping the at number up, but cases are definitely on the up. It really is no surprise since I’m fairly certain that masking is not happening outside of urban areas, and even in urban areas bars/nightlife is back to normal with no masking going on.
