Bonnaroo Cancelled! - NO, Not Because Of Some Minor Pandemic, But Due To Water

It looks like Rain has done what Covid couldn't do. Shut down a music festival.

Less than 2 weeks ago, it resulted in the big NY Homecoming Concert being cut short.

I'm Going To Be Optimistic For A Change

That the full approval by the FDA, will spur many who were on the fence, to go get a Pfizer shot.

Unfortunately, that evil voice in my head is saying, "don't be a sucker, you know it's going to make barely any difference. Nothing's changed, really."

I'm Playing "Spot The 1 Person Wearing A Mask" Game Whenever They Show Central Park Concert Crowd

I'd say about 5% of the audience is wearing a mask.

Way to go New York City!!

I bet there are more wearing ponchos because of the rain. At least they won't get wet.

DENIAL!

I'm in Orange County, CA, and I'm driving home listening to the Angels Baseball flagship station, and they're talking about the Producer for the afternoon Roger Lodge (of Blind Date fame) show, who apparently died last night at the age of 45.

Went to the various Facebook pages that were talking about him, and mourning his loss. Post after post about how great and loved he was. He had a family with young kids.

Had to dig through the posts until I found one that linked to a tweet from a few days ago, talking about how he was hospitalized with Covid since the first week of August.

NOT ONCE, did anyone outright post something with the word Covid. NOT ONCE did the radio show mention the word Covid. It was always that he died at the young age of 45.

His name was James Allen. Of course, there's a Go Fund Me page set up. I wish I felt sad, but I really don't. Without knowing for certain, I'm guessing he was not vaccinated. And I'm guessing that is why Nobody is mentioning cause of death, acting like it was some unavoidable tragedy, when it probably wasn't.

You would think that the very least they could do would be to make some statement urging people to get vaccinated. BUT FUCKING NO!!

I'd feel sad if I felt there was some sort of contrition, and that they used the opportunity to perhaps save another person's life.

He didn't have to die. The Fucking Stupidity Makes Me Sick.

These So-Called "Leaders" In Southern States Are Running Out Of Ways To Kill Their Constituents

I'm expecting that next they'll start arresting and fining people if they choose to wear a mask.

ICU Nurse Shares Story Of 14 Year Old Who Died After Anti-Vax Parents Refused Intubation

A frontline nurse has shared her heartbreak over losing a 14-year-old patient who died of COVID-19 after her anti-vaxxer parents forbid doctors from intubating her.

Twitter user @Jessicam6946, who is a nurse practitioner in the intensive care unit, revealed in a recent thread that they had four patients die of COVID in one shift, saying each of their deaths could have been prevented if they had been vaccinated.

'Tonight I helplessly held the hand of and stroked the hair of a beautiful 14-year-old girl as she exited this world. She was looking forward to starting high school and eventually becoming a veterinarian. It was so senseless!' she tweeted on Saturday.

'About two hours later we were unable to save a 25-year-old mother of one who was 15 weeks pregnant,' the nurse continued. 'She had refused the vaccines because of the lies about them causing infertility and harming her baby.

'Liars killed her, her baby, and robbed a two-year-old little boy of his mommy and sibling. Not to mention robbing a husband of his wife and child.'

F**k the big orange buffoon, DeSantis, Facebook, Fox News, antivaxxers, Magas, Dr. Mercola, Robert Kennedy Jr., all parents who believe these killers over proven science, and ALL other killers who spread anti vaccine lies,' she wrote. 'I can't deal with people right now! I love you guys!'

Let Me Get This Straight, Re: Anti-Vaccine MORONS

They WILL get Monoclonal Antibody treatments, because, golly gee, their "medically trained" Governor advises that it's a good option.

But they WON'T get vaccinated, because they don't trust Doctors or Science, and are afraid of it's effects. Yet they're NOT AT ALL concerned about the effects of the monoclonal drugs.

Should We Start Calling It Talibanistan?

Truth is, it was always their country. We spent 20 years trying to defeat them, but they could have waited it out for a century if necessary.

I'm sure there are plenty in the country who fully support Taliban rule. Those who don't, will unfortunately suffer.
