Bud: ‘You can’t come in here!’
Lou: ‘Why not?’
Bud: ‘Well because you’re unvaccinated.’
Lou: ‘But I’m not sick.’
Bud: ‘It doesn’t matter.’
Lou: ‘Well, why does that guy get to go in?’
Bud: ‘Because he’s vaccinated.’
Lou: ‘But he’s sick!’
Bud: ‘It’s alright. Everyone in here is vaccinated.’
Lou: ‘Wait a minute. Are you saying everyone in there is vaccinated?’
Bud: ‘Yes.’
Lou: ‘So then why can’t I go in there if everyone is vaccinated?’
Bud: ‘Because you’ll make them sick.’
Lou: ‘How will I make them sick if I’m NOT sick and they’re vaccinated.’
Bud: ‘Because you’re unvaccinated.’
Lou: ‘But they’re vaccinated.’
Bud: ‘But they can still get sick.’
Lou: ‘So what the heck does the vaccine do?’
Bud: ‘It vaccinates.’
Lou: ‘So vaccinated people can’t spread covid?’
Bud: ‘Oh no. They can spread covid just as easily as an unvaccinated person.’
Lou: ‘I don’t even know what I’m saying anymore. Look. I’m not sick.
Bud: ‘Ok.’
Lou: ‘And the guy you let in IS sick.’
Bud: ‘That’s right.’
Lou: ‘And everybody in there can still get sick even though they’re vaccinated.’
Bud: ‘Certainly.’
Lou: ‘So why can’t I go in again?’
Bud: ‘Because you’re unvaccinated.’
Lou: ‘I’m not asking who’s vaccinated or not!’
Bud: ‘I’m just telling you how it is.’
Lou: ‘Never mind. I’ll just put on my mask.’
Bud: ‘That’s fine.’
Lou: ‘Now I can go in?’
Bud: ‘Absolutely not?’
Lou: ‘But I have a mask!’
Bud: ‘Doesn’t matter.’
Lou: ‘I was able to come in here yesterday with a mask.’
Bud: ‘I know.’
Lou: ‘So why can’t I come in here today with a mask? … If you say ‘because I’m unvaccinated’ again, I’ll break your arm.’
Bud: ‘Take it easy buddy.’
Lou: ‘So the mask is no good anymore.’
Bud: ‘No, it’s still good.’
Lou: ‘But I can’t come in?’
Bud: ‘Correct.’
Lou: ‘Why not?’
Bud: ‘Because you’re unvaccinated.’
Lou: ‘But the mask prevents the germs from getting out.’
Bud: ‘Yes, but people can still catch your germs.’
Lou: ‘But they’re all vaccinated.’
Bud: ‘Yes, but they can still get sick.’
Lou: ‘But I’m not sick!!’
Bud: ‘You can still get them sick.’
Lou: ‘So then masks don’t work!’
Bud: ‘Masks work quite well.’
Lou: ‘So how in the heck can I get vaccinated people sick if I’m not sick and masks work?’
Bud: ‘Third base.’

Zactly..
That’s hilarious...and it expresses perfectly the lunacy we’re surrounded by every freaking day. 🤬
Abbott and Costello’s “Who’s on first” is a beautiful analogy of how ridiculous the “trust the science” talk is.
Lib logic writ large.
Yep. We live in ‘Clown World’. All part of the Cloward-Piven Strategy to bring down freedom and advance socialism/totalitarianism.
(Didn't search but not sure would have found that even if I had.)
Good laughs. Insanity is here.
However Covid insanity is in total control of Australia and New Zealand.
New Zealand just locked down the entire country over a single COVID case so that’s how things are going over there!
If ever you feel unhappy about your regional leadership in the United States—if your governor is a little heavy-handed with the COVID restrictions, if your state legislators seem far too eager to defer to “public health experts” in shutting down your multigenerational family business—then just think, it could be worse: you could live literally anywhere in New Zealand:
New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has announced a nationwide lockdown after the country confirmed one coronavirus case — the first locally transmitted Covid-19 case in the community since February...
New Zealand will be under the strictest level lockdown level for the next three days starting from 11:59 p.m. Tuesday, local time, Ardern said. Under level four lockdown, everyone must stay home and businesses are closed aside for essential services such as supermarkets and pharmacies.
All of this for one COVID case? Think how bad it would be if they’d found two.
Being forced to stay home is certainly unpleasant, no arguments there. But at least you can, you know, maybe have a chat with your neighbors over the back fence, just to keep up a little meaningful human contact? Oh wait:
NIH Director Francis Collins Admits Masking Rules For Kids Are Based On Rare Anecdotes, Not Data!

That masking recommendations are based on anecdotes and not scientific data.
“I wish we had that data. But Hugh, I don’t think you’re hearing me. It’s not just about that,” Collins said on “The Hugh Hewitt Show.”
“It is still pretty rare, but it is not zero, and we now have more than 400 kids that have died of this. So we have to think about that,” Collins said. “But also, think about what’s going on in that classroom for two other reasons. Even if kids are not going to get that sick, they can certainly get infected. They don’t transmit quite as vigorously as older people, but they can transmit it. Lots of evidence of that. So if we’re trying to tamp down the spread, here’s one more place to do so.”
“We’ve got to get kids back in the classroom,” Collins continued. “This virtual learning for the last year has been really bad for their development. But if they’re unmasked in the classroom, you know what’s going to happen. There’s going to be an outbreak. That’s already happening in states that don’t require masks. And then what happens? The kids go back home again. That’s a bad outcome.”
Collins claimed the CDC “really hates to have to make recommendations based on anecdotes,” but justified its actions by saying they are “rigorous public health scientists.”
“This is a tough time. Give the guys a little bit of a break there,” Collins said. “They’re trying to manage the worst pandemic in 103 years that is moving so rapidly, and delta has blown everything up that we thought we knew about COVID-19, and we sort of have to start all over again with new data. And we’ve only really had this one for about the last, oh, month and a half.”

NIH Director Francis Collins Admits Masking Rules For Kids Are Based On Rare Anecdotes, Not Data
AUGUST 17, 2021 By Jordan Davidson
National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins admitted on Tuesday that masking recommendations are based on anecdotes and not scientific data.
“I wish we had that data. But Hugh, I don’t think you’re hearing me. It’s not just about that,” Collins said on “The Hugh Hewitt Show.”
When host Hugh Hewitt pointed out that “based on that fear, we are accepting known substantial costs and deficits which will be lifelong in the classroom,” Collins merely reiterated his inclination to agree with National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci, who was on the same show last week and repeated the mask rhetoric.
“But that’s the false choice, doctor,” Hewitt said.
“I don’t think so,” Collins replied, before admitting that there is not any data “showing that those kids are at greater risk of hospitalization or illness of serious sort from taking their mask off there.”
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now recommends “universal indoor masking for all teachers, staff, students, and visitors to K-12 schools, regardless of vaccination status” purportedly to ensure a return to classrooms. While Collins admits that younger people contracting COVID-19 is “rare,” he said kids must wear masks in school or risk another virtual school year.
“It is still pretty rare, but it is not zero, and we now have more than 400 kids that have died of this. So we have to think about that,” Collins said. “But also, think about what’s going on in that classroom for two other reasons. Even if kids are not going to get that sick, they can certainly get infected. They don’t transmit quite as vigorously as older people, but they can transmit it. Lots of evidence of that. So if we’re trying to tamp down the spread, here’s one more place to do so.”
“We’ve got to get kids back in the classroom,” Collins continued. “This virtual learning for the last year has been really bad for their development. But if they’re unmasked in the classroom, you know what’s going to happen. There’s going to be an outbreak. That’s already happening in states that don’t require masks. And then what happens? The kids go back home again. That’s a bad outcome.”
Collins claimed the CDC “really hates to have to make recommendations based on anecdotes,” but justified its actions by saying they are “rigorous public health scientists.”
“This is a tough time. Give the guys a little bit of a break there,” Collins said. “They’re trying to manage the worst pandemic in 103 years that is moving so rapidly, and delta has blown everything up that we thought we knew about COVID-19, and we sort of have to start all over again with new data. And we’ve only really had this one for about the last, oh, month and a half.”
In a statement reminiscent of Fauci’s anti-freedom rant last week, Collins also said, “I do think there are times where freedom has to be considered in the space of what that means for others around you.”

Permanent lung damage in young children? Chronic ear, nose and throat infections with kids who don't understand 'mask issues'?
If a second grader drops their mask on the school bathroom floor do they pick it up and put it back on? Does Mommy wash the mask daily? Etc etc etc..
As usual the experts will have excuses after the damage is done.
Now that’s FUNNY ! !
I just watched an Abbot and Costello movie last night. Hold That Ghost.
They were working in a gas station selling EIGHT GALLONS OF GAS for one dollar.
Ah, the good old days.
“It is still pretty rare, but it is not zero.”
Versus
“It is not zero, but it is still pretty rare.”
That s good
You're right. Someone should do a Bud & Lou skit on boys/girls/trans people.
Apparently, in a lot of our colleges, students have contests re how long their mask has been used. Sometimes these students have mask contests with siblings and parents re the oldest and longest used masks.
I remember 15 cent a gallon gas... of course back then we had larger cars that got horrible gas mileage...
