Veinglory in the Highest

So it turns out that, like clean elections, mass vaccination campaigns is just another thing America can no longer do.

Across the pond, my old editor Boris Johnson is a complete arse busily destroying those few remnants of British Conservatism that managed to escape Theresa May and David Cameron. But, granted all that, he knew enough to ensure that the first person on the planet to receive the vaccine was an actual member of the public - an appealing nonagenarian lady ("Patient 1A") - and that the second or thereabouts was some old coot from Warwickshire who chanced to bear the name William Shakespeare, which allowed the tabloids to rise to the occasion with "Patient 2B or Not 2B" and "The Taming of the Flu".

Here all is cronyism. So the twelve-year-old congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez has now received the vaccine, while any actual nonagenarian citizens will be centenarians by the time they get it. Because members of America's decadent pseudo-legislature are "essential". You know they're "essential" because they've spent the last six months hammering out a Corona "relief" package that ensures that citizens whose businesses have been destroyed by state fiat will receive a Treasury check for $600 to cover the last eight months. That's seventy-five bucks a month - or rather less than the average congressman's kid's allowance. But now we've vaccinated them our indispensable legislators can get on to hammering out a new Corona "relief" package that will guarantee Americans get a check for $400 to cover the next eighteen months.

"Wokeness" is a means by which embarrassed, guilty, self-loathing whites can escape both the shame and the ruthless logic of demographic transformation. And so somewhere between "two weeks to flatten the curve" and the late-spring frenzy of statue-toppling and Macy's-looting the two great news stories of the year merged into one to bring us the first woke pandemic. A wokedemic in which the most vulnerable must be damned as the most "white privileged". They're privileged to have been walled up in their "care homes" and slaughtered in their thousands by blood-soaked commissars like Cuomo and Charlie Baker, but that's not enough: they must be further targeted by the lights of woke science.

I used to joke that the United Nations, with its blend of thug dictatorships and free societies, is akin to what happens when you blend a pint of vanilla ice-cream with a pint of dog feces: the result tastes more like the latter than the former. The same is true when you blend science with "social justice".
