It's not just Americans — global COVID-Slackers will keep the pandemic alive
The Hill ^ | 10/19/2021 | MICHAEL J. STERN

Posted on 10/19/2021 1:36:44 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

I thought COVID-19 anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers were a unique phenomenon of American stupidity, but having just returned from a two-week trip to England, I fear that the reckless response to a virus that has killed almost 5 million people worldwide is not an American thing — it’s a human thing.

Many of us who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 and who have committed to the discomfort of wearing masks in indoor public places, have spent the better part of a year fuming at the estimated 93 million Americans who are eligible to receive the vaccine but refuse it — and the people who ignore mask requirements and walk through indoor public spaces with their mask hanging off one ear.

I figured this callous disregard for the safety of others had its genesis in the wave of anti-science paranoia that was stoked by our 45th president, but I witnessed the same wanton negligence an ocean away.

You would think that would be obvious.

Also there should be less people dying.

The first wave should have (pardon the term) culled the herd.

All those who were standing around with one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel should have died and then people who had serious health conditions should have been the next biggest group and so on down the line. But it should have take out so many of those people that the next wave should have taken out less as all the easy marks were already dead and the rest would have natural immunity.

But that is not the way it worked. And somehow with the vaccine we have more people dying.

Curious.

I love being called anti-science by people who, themselves, deny the scientific method in just about everything they do. I’m pro-science. I’m anti scientism and anti agenda.

I’m having trouble trying to figure out why Michael thinks I should care about him.

He’s not demented.

“Michael J. Stern was a federal prosecutor for more than 24 years with the Department of Justice in Detroit and Los Angeles, prosecuting high-profile crimes, including conspiracy cases related to international drug trafficking and organized crime. He has since worked on the indigent defense panel for the federal courts.”

He’s Deep State.

Sod off, Mikey.

The “vaccine” is not the magic potion you deluded leftists think it is.

Just keep your mask on. 🙄

Power through slavery: he is angry that 93 million other Americans have figured out they don’t need someone else’s permission to live their lives. He thinks his moral subservience gives him the right to order others around.

The thing that is really reckless is not arresting the people who funded the research that led to this chimera coronavirus.

Don’t 5 million dead deserve justice?
