One of the more distressing consequences of the push for universal Covid-19 vaccination is the emergence of in-group/out-group thinking. The vaccinated became the cool people (in-group) and the unvaccinated became the uncool people (out-group). This is distressing because witch hunts, systemic prejudice and totalitarianism all begin with similar thought processes.

The nursery rhyme, This is the House that Jack Built, captures a common — yet ultimately frivolous — way of understanding the world.

Charlie Sykes, shows what karma is really about. More and more, people who have ranted about mask policies and vaccines are … wait for it … DYING FROM COVID!
What is it about talking heads, be they on radio or TV, and those who listen to them? Will the deaths of three anti-vaccine/anti-mask radio zealots going to make a dent? What will the excuse be for those who were waiting for FULL FDA approval of vaccines to get their shots to renege and continue to endanger themselves, their families, their social circles, and their communities?
Please, if you know someone who has not started the vaccination process, share some of these stories with them. Let them know that people younger and younger are getting sick and DYING from COVID. If you yourself haven’t been vaccinated, ask yourself “Why?”. It is NOT about government control; it is about protecting yourself and your close circle and your community at large from becoming deathly ill.
Plus some other goodies from the Sykes Morning Shots Newsletter.
For those who say the unvaccinated only hurt themselves.
“Water utilities in Orlando and Tampa Bay have urged residents to cut back on water usage due to recent difficulties in obtaining supplies of liquid oxygen, which is used to purify public water.”

This is in addition to the hospital oxygen shortages. Reminiscent of India. Are we Third World now?
Biden administration proves Hanlon’s Razor.
Nothing more need be said.
Here is voter fraud that is real.
While Trump Republicans are looking for bamboo slivers in Arizona ballots, this is what fraud really looks like.
Portland’s Bizarre Experiment With Not Policing Proud Boys Rampage Ends in Gunfire

Since we’re having a pity party for the Proud Boys, let’s see what they got up to over the weekend.
So, it’s OK to burn the American flag…
Proud Boys leader gets jail for burning BLM flag
He got 125 days for possession of 2 extended magazines in DC. And then 30 more days for burning a BLM flag because it was a racist act. OK, now look at the picture.
Regarding the magazines, there was no associated weapon present nor ammunition, he was just delivering the magazines to a purchaser who he was meeting at the protest.
So we finally get FDA approval for a vaccine. Good news huh? Unless you are promoting vaccine hesitancy.
We finally get approval for a vaccine. Why are notable Republicans attacking this? Even Trump was booed at his own rally in Alabama for suggesting getting the vaccine. Meanwhile doctors and nurses are leaving exhausted and frustrated. I understand they should be after risking their lives for 18 months and still people refuse to get the jab or even wear a mask. Loonies are running the show now.
At last someone competent takes charge
Competent crowd management at last
And they’re happy to be of service
