Flubros and Flubras! Day 65 (a place for Flubros and Flubras)

It’s just the flu, bro.

Learned a new phrase today - medical police state. That phrase doesn’t seem to fit well with freedom and liberty.

I checked the internet after I heard Alan Dershowitz say it on Tucker Carlson - apparently mandatory vaccinations for everyone are legal if the state/government thinks they serve to protect people. This is another concept that doesn’t seem to fit well with freedom and liberty.

It is definitely concerning that these anti-freedom concepts are in place. Especially because there doesn’t seem to be any predefined minimum threshold that must be exceeded for the state to declare a medical emergency and take our freedom away. Essentially as long as politicians think it is OK to force the vaccination then it will be supported by the courts.

At least with the lockdowns we seem to be having some success with the courts as the 5th amendment seems to protect people/businesses from having their stuff taken without due process and just compensation.

Hopefully we can get a favorable Supreme Court ruling, if a case goes there, to help protect Americans’ freedom from the medical police state.

August 1 is the latest possible date the athletic directors in Texas are giving for football practices to be started, if the college football game schedule is to be kept. Governor Abbott says college football is going to happen, therefore August 1 is the date that I predict for most lockdown restrictions to go away. We will all essentially be saved by football.

Wish I was certified. 30 years college and university teaching means I don’t qualify. I took all the methods,er indoctrination, classes except for teaching for free (student teaching) years ago.

I’m older, but willing to take the risk. Or is this another area Indian scumbags will be brought in to replace Americans?

I do know Filipino teachers are brought in some districts,but they tend to follow the US education system.

“30 years college and university teaching means I don’t qualify.”

That is just too accurate. It needs correcting.

Here in Arizona, some before I arrived, the Arizona Citizens Defense League (AzCDL) (I'm a recent member) engineered a “carve-out” (my term) protecting firearms and gun stores from this overreach in Executive Orders. “A Tip of the Stetson” for that as we say here.

I think similar restrictions and limitations to personal and economic freedoms need to be written before this overreaching fiasco is repeated. Our Arizona legislature went AWOL and our Courts closed. There needs to be an auto-stop order in these laws.

Remember the myth of heterosexual aids. We were all equally at risk, you could catch it just by breathing the air where an infected person had been. Guess who the prime promoters of that panic hoax were: Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx.

Maybe a new derperhero will emerge who is like Judge Dredd, only for healthcare crises. Maybe they can be called Doctor Feer. And they empty churches and movie theaters with their flamethrower if anyone so much as sneezes or coughs in one. And if anyone tries to bring up the Constitution, they give ‘em a little “candlelight” to read it by.

What is the mortality rate for the flu? 0.1%?
