Sarah Palin: Still dumber than a fucking rock

Alaska GOP Congressional candidate Sarah Palin said that she thinks COVID was "more about control than it was actually about a virus" during a TV debate.

PALIN: “So in case there's another one coming, we make sure that Fauci is not head of CDC. We depoliticize that agency that did play politics the whole covid crisis. It was more about control than it was actually about a virus. And and we saw that and those of us who spoke up and stood up and said things like, ‘no, I'm not going to get that experimental immunization’ and we were mocked and ostracized and lost opportunities. Well we were right, it is experimental. And, by the way, those who did lose opportunities specifically those in the military who were kicked out for exercising their own right and responsibility to decide what they were going to put in their body - they need to be reinstated with back pay.”

even though I knew what really could go into my body was Vietnamese bullets.

No reinstatement or back pay for those who tried escaping that.

First week of Oct she was feeling good, went out with family to dinner..a few days later they all tested positive-- yet, her symptoms worsened by mid week was transported to emergency-- two days later died.

7. All Anchorage ICU beds full as COVID hospitalizations keep rising

Alaska’s KTOO FM
14 September 2022

“ALL Anchorage ICU beds full as Alaska COVID hospitalizations keep rising.”

Two weeks later, PBS:

“So far, 20 hospitals and health facilities in the state have triggered so-called crisis standards of care, because they're so short on beds and staff. Alaska has flown in nearly 500 medical workers to assist…”

A ‘crisis standards of care’ = prioritizing resources to those patients who have the best chance of surviving.

“Miss Five College’s“ sez’ whut’?

14. Palin and her chud fans want to make their own "personal choices" which are collective...

...because those choices affect the wider society. Furthermore, they want to make those choices and decisions while denying any responsibility for them.

Hey, Sarah: choices come with consequences, asshole. That's part of being an adult and a citizen.
