I’m covering the Sarah Palin/New York Times trial set to start today in the SDNY. Judge Rakoff says he learned last night that Palin has tested positive for COVID. “She is, of course, unvaccinated,” the judge notes.

1. Well isn't she special!

[xmas74]

2. Isn't this her second round of covid?

Seems like she had it a year ago and said it was awful.

[Voltaire2]

15. Natural immunity sucks it seems.

[Farmer-Rick]

95. Yeah, that's the problem with depending on natural herd immunity to a virus

It evolves very quickly and changes. Well, I guess idiots like Palin don't believe in evolution either.

So you may develop immunity to one type of the virus. But once it evolves into another type, your immunity is long gone or doesn't recognize the newly evolved virus.

That's what happens when you're too dumb to think things through. Too bad she has already reproduced. Her genes will be of little value to human kind.

[Bristlecone]

74. I recall this also

[PatrickforB]

77. Oh my God. She HAD it once before and it was awful?

And yet, like a good little right-wing lemming, she chose NOT to get vaccinated, believing in 'herd immunity,' and now here she goes again. I just cannot wrap my head around why someone wouldn't get vaxxed. I mean, yeah, if you're pregnant or something, then hold off, but get it done as soon as you can, you know?

[vanlassie]

87. VERY important to get vaxxed if pregnant.

VERY.

[Maru Kitteh]

99. ALL pregnant people SHOULD GET VACCINATED.

Unless they have an extraordinary medical reason not to and are advised by their OB not to - - EVEN THEN, I would STRONGLY suggest getting a 2nd opinion.

COVID during pregnancy is DANGEROUS. The vaccine is safe.

[mikeysnot]

3. Wonder if Laura igraham will clap?

[Voltaire2]

17. She has the clap?

I did not know that.

[leftieNanner]

26. I see what you did there

[Chainfire]

4. The hard core right just don't have the sense to get in out of the Covid rain.

[tanyev]

5. Gosh, when you don't get vaccinated, it's like you put a crosshairs on yourself.

[elias7]

21. But if you point that out, you're liable for libel

[barbtries]

31. blood libel.

dontcha know

[SergeStorms]

73. She can see...

the ICU from her front porch.

[EYESORE 9001]

6. Of course

Goes without saying. That’s a given. Unvaccinated is the default deplorable condition.

[TheBlackAdder]

7. I bet she's one of those who are vaxxed and say they aren't.

[rainin]

20. My thoughts exactly n/t

[Walleye]

98. 👆Lying is their strongest characteristic

[MontanaMama]

8. I'm surprised she would even test at all.

Unless she’s visibly sick.

[hlthe2b]

9. I'm sure she was required to--both to fly and appear in court.

[doc03]

10. Well I saw one of our DU members quit DU and

the entire Democratic party this last week. He/she said we were dancing on COVID victims graves so I won't comment.

[Voltaire2]

14. These fuckers are literally killing people

with their antivax bullshit. So please comment away.

[gab13by13]

36. Yeah but after dancing

can't we say, thoughts and prayers to make it right?

[pandr32]

70. Good suggestion!

[The Jungle 1]

49. It is not dancing on their graves.

It is disgust with stupidity. They disgust me. I also find maggots disgusting and dung beetles. At least those bugs serve a purpose
These fools put us all at higher risk. My disgust is well placed.

[ProfessorGAC]

53. Pathetic

If that person can't make the necessary distinctions, that's on that person.
Quitting because everyone won't think just like them is weak-minded & simply ridiculous.

[obamanut2012]

63. This

[WestMichRad]

56. People willfully behaving stupidly...

…deserve to be called out when it blows up in their faces. While I don’t celebrate their deaths or severe illness, I sure don’t feel sorry for them.

[Crunchy Frog]

57. Which one? I saw a troll flame out and get banned over it, but probably not the same poster.

[obamanut2012]

62. I missed that GBCW post

[ecstatic]

80. No one is dancing on her grave

yet.

[AngryOldDem]

92. Well, bye.

Sorry, but I have 0 sympathy for people who willfully ignore science and what is best for society as a whole, and further, take victory laps over their dumbassery and selfishness.

Karma, and all that.

[UpInArms]

11. Didn't she say she would rather die than be vaccinated recently?

https://www.salon.com/2021/12/19/sarah-palin-on-vaccines-it-will-be-over-my-body-that-ill-have-to-get-a-shot_partner/

"It will be over my dead body that I'll have to get a shot," she added. "I will not do it."

Palin encouraged others to "rise up" by refusing to be vaccinated.

Be careful what you wish for, Sarah.

[TreasonousBastard]

18. Well, they don't give shots to dead bodies. They just say you...

got what you asked for.

[lagomorph777]

35. Here's hoping, Sarah.

May you get exactly what you wished for.

[Eyeball_Kid]

59. Perhaps with this current infection,

Sarah will be too exhausted to get out of bed to take a piss. That's what COVID does to the lucky. If she ends up in an ICU, she also has the opportunity to say "over my dead legs." Amputations are sometimes needed to save lives.

[DBoon]

102. a virus can only infect a live host

once it is "over my dead body", you will not be infected again with Covid

[Voltaire2]

12. I hope she gets really f'ing sick.

[KS Toronado]

22. Yes, so sick it almost kills her

so after she recovers she'll be telling people to get the vaccine.

[Voltaire2]

24. I'm fine with her joining the Herman Caine Hall of Shame.

If she recovers she will not change course.

[KS Toronado]

44. Some people do some people don't

Guess we'll find out.

[xmas74]

93. This is her second bout

After her first one she said to mask up then backtracked and said something about freedom.

[Wounded Bear]

13. How convenient...

[ashredux]

16. Hmmm...hmmmm.....the Judge should get a "Doctor's Note". 😊

[PatSeg]

19. And the judge actually said,

"She is, of course, unvaccinated"? He's got her number!

[Rebl2]

30. Kind of

surprised the judge said that.

[thesquanderer]

58. Yes, at first I worried that the judge's comment could give her an argument for bias...

...and she'd use that as grounds for mistrial if things don't go her way. But based on post 11, if she made her anti-vax position widely and publicly known anyway, then I think there would be no issue with the judge alluding to it.

[Rebl2]

91. That was my thought too.

Still probably should not have said it.

[PatSeg]

97. Yeah, that was awfully snarky for a judge to say

Of course, maybe he is tired of right-wing nuttery taking frivolous lawsuits to court. Palin might have been the final straw for him.

[mgardener]

23. She and her son has already had it last year.

[marmar]

25. She better be careful. Long covid can cause brain fog......

..... and she's already in a precarious situation on that front.

[BradAllison]

46. Oh no

Such a loss

[ProfessorGAC]

55. How Could We Tell?

[Ms. Toad]

82. Already apparent in this interaction:

At 11:15 a.m., Turkel reported that Palin became “confused” at the testing facility, which offered both rapid PCRs and traditional PCRs, which can take days to return a result. Palin left the facility and traveled to a nearby urgent care, where she took a third rapid antigen test and got a positive result, Turkel said.

[milestogo]

27. Sarah Palin tests positive for STUPID

[birdographer]

28. My first and only response:

Good.

[Traildogbob]

29. Who knows

How many viruses, warts and sores that slutty KKKlan of family members has. They should be chased through the wilderness by a helicopter with Libs and dart guns loaded with Pfizer Vax. Maybe another high dose of antibiotics for STD’s.

[trusty elf]

37. ...

[Traildogbob]

42. 😆😆😆

[TexasTowelie]

54. I see what you did there.

[appleannie1]

32. No brains, no feeling. She will say it was a breeze.

[hamsterjill]

78. Exactly.

First, does she really have it or is it an excuse not to go to court. Second, I bet the odds are pretty good that she’s actually vaccinated and boosted. Third, she will have access to treatment if needed.

All three options piss me off at the moment.

[louis-t]

33. She could be lying to stall appearing in court.

Stupid cow.

[StarryNite]

75. That crossed my mind too.

[CaptainTruth]

34. But her IQ test came back negative.

[lagomorph777]

38. Whew.

[Mysterian]

52. LOL!

[SouthernDem4ever]

76. LOL

[Talitha]

39. Gee, that's too bad.

[mgardener]

40. She and her son has already had it last year.

[niyad]

41. May she receive everything she deserves.

[The Jungle 1]

43. These scum don't trust science until they can't breath!

Then they want a hospital bed and a ventilator with around the clock care. Suddenly they trust science?
Yo if you don't trust science then stay the fuck home and die. Stop putting our healthcare heros at risk.
We would have this scurge under control if the right would trust science.
I am not dancing on their graves I am disgusted with them. They disgust me. They are easily led stupid filth.

[TNNurse]

45. I am torn

between not caring and wondering if it a play for sympathy for the trial.

Damn, these people have made me think awful things.

[Zambero]

47. Wondering how that un-vaxxy un-masky thing will work out for her?

[yankeepants]

48. Can that virus actually live in Sarah Palin?

[Zambero]

51. Palin IS a virus

The deadly Dumb-Down-Dumber-Then-Dumb strain. It originated with her and is now infecting an entire political party.

[louis-t]

84. So that story about virus being infected with virus is true?

[cactusfractal]

50. Oh. So what's everyone having for lunch? n/t

[C Moon]

86. :D

[jmowreader]

100. Pork sliders and moose burgers

I think Mrs. Palin is having a nice crow fillet.

[VGNonly]

60. Covibou Barbie

[yankeepants]

67. Virus Spice

[bluecollar2]

61. Is that all she tests positive for....n/t

[Ford_Prefect]

64. Careful with that bleach Sarah!

[twodogsbarking]

65. Her record remains intact. Never passed a test.

[Ray Bruns]

66. Maybe she can rally her prayer warriors.

[Moebym]

68. Is anyone surprised? No?

[peggysue2]

69. Why am I not surprised?

Ms Not-Over-My-Dead-Body tests positive for Covid.

Of course, she did!

What happened to all that natural immunity, I won't live in fear and Covid is a hoax?

Covid doesn't give a damn what you believe. It's just looking for a suitable, unvaccinated host to carry on, carrying on.

Science.

[SergeStorms]

71. Gee, what a shame. 😁

I'd hate to see anything bad happen to
Ms. Palin. She's been such a positive role model for young women the world over.

[srose58089]

72. Sarah Who?

[ecstatic]

79. I like that judge! lol nt

[BobTheSubgenius]

81. Nothing trivial, I hope.

[LudwigPastorius]

83. Tots and pears for Winky McDumbass

[C Moon]

85. Could be lying because she's not ready for the trial.

[AngryOldDem]

89. If she lied to the court, the water she's in just got deeper...

[AngryOldDem]

88. Of course she's unvaxxed!

Another “I’m-not-vaxxed-and-I’m-proud-of-it” livin’ her best life.

[we can do it]

90. Die already.

[Ohio Joe]

94. I wish her well in her suicide attempt - nt

[sarcasmo]

96. Palin consulted with Meatlof last month.

[Skittles]

101. "she is, of course, unvaccinated"

and of course she recently dined inside two restaurants

fucking asshole

[Blue Owl]

103. Don't ya hate it when a virus rears its head in your airspace
