"This must be why all the doctors, nurses, surgeons, dentists, lab workers, contractors, painters, dental hygienists, carpenters, nail salon workers, and all the others who wear masks for work all day every day for decades on end drop dead all the time.

None of these people wear masks "all day every day." In fact, they wear them only as required by the specific type of work they're doing and then almost always just for short time periods.

The numbers are going up! The numbers are going up! Wear your mask! Wear your mask! Grandma killer! Grandma killer!

“Full blown” investigation? Sounds like something Kumala could easily handle.

The only locomotive expertise Crackhead Biden has is in running his “locomotive” into a minor’s “tunnel.”

". . .growing conservative effort to restrict transgender people’s health care and participation in society.

Wrong, NYT lying scumbags - conservatives and non-leftists are simply trying to halt the irreversible mutilation of minors who have been brainwashed by evil scum like you into thinking such mutilation is "cool."

"If 1% of those numbers died, that would be a large number added to the 540,000 deaths we have now.

But given the current mortality rate of this virus, one percent of that number will not die. Perhaps 0.1-0.3% of them will.

"Why are liberals so obsessed with sex? Aren’t they getting any?"

You might be on to something there. Years ago, I was heavily involved with the visual arts. By far, most of the artists I knew were raging, BDS-suffering leftists. The women seemed unsatisfied and angry and the straight men, most of whom were beta types, weren't getting much action. The gay artists were getting plenty of "action." Lol! Man, I'd be surrounded by gals at the artsy fartsy parties I'd go to. It was like I was a magnet. It was incredible. I soon figured out that most women really dug tradtional, masculine men. Had a lot of fun!

"A 1% mortality rate when you consider that 70 million to 150 million U.S. residents would contract COVID-19 U.S."

What? There is nowhere in the world with that high of a death rate from this virus. The fact is, the more testing done, the lower the overall death percentage has dropped - and that's not even factoring in the untold millions of asymptomatic people who are never entered into the data. Estimates are that between 40-60% of those infected are wither asymptomatic or exhibit such mild symptoms that they don't bother getting tested. So what that means is that a huge number of folks who contracted the virus and recovered aren't counted

Suck on it Pete! Oh, wait a minute. . .

Take an experimental vaccine, one rushed into production without the usual 3-10 year trial period? Take that same vaccine; one that’s never before been used on humans? Take that vaccine to prevent getting a disease with an overall survival rate of ~99.8 percent? Never. Because considering those facts, that would be a truly idiotic risk to take.

By 2050, Europe’s energy system will be changed fundamentally, with ten times more solar and onshore wind power than today, said Timmermans, the European Commission’s executive vice-president in charge of the Green Deal.

And at that I'd have stood up, faced Timmermans and said, "Who elected you, you effin' clown. . . "

This prick's playing the equivalent of "ring and run." Childish and obnoxious attempt to get a rise out of people. Don't bother taking the bait.

Man, some folks need a life.

"Climate anxiety can operate like white fragility, sucking up all the oxygen in the room and devoting resources toward appeasing the dominant group. As climate refugees are framed as a climate security threat, will the climate-anxious recognize their role in displacing people from around the globe?"

Do the useless clowns who write this garbage actually believe that what they're writing is true?

I wonder what it must be like to have no life, to spend the days concocting mindless, divisive, racist bullshit like this. I think it must suck mightily, especially as the years go by and you realize that you've wasted your time on chasing a mirage instead of enjoying all the wonderful, interesting and miraculous things in this world.

"

I was wondering when this carp would start happening, with these PPP loans."

Agree. It all sounds fishy to me too.

I’m not a lawyer but I’ve dealt with issues similar to this in a corporate management capacity. The legal rights and obligations of an employer typically relate to WORKPLACE SAFETY first and foremost, not PERSONAL HEALTH. If the benefit of taking vitamins is that you are more healthy than if you don’t, then that wouldn’t be legal. If the employer imposes measures aimed at protecting customers and other employees and/or protecting you from an injury or illness that you get while working at your place of employment, then the employer has far more latitude.

So, then it is possible that an employer can also legally demand that employees take, for instance, the regular flu shot as a condition of employment. Or can they? This has all the makings of a dangerous, liberty-stripping, slippery slope.

The much bigger issue is going to be employers and business establishments mandating vaccinations for their employees and customers. This is far more likely than a Federal mandate to be where the legal battles over mandatory vaccinations will take place.

I'm not a lawyer, but say, for instance, that one day your employer tells you that unless you provably take vitamins every day, and in the amount they dictate, you'll be fired - does such action not open the employer up for a lawsuit for wrongful termination or some form of illegal discrimination?

Any lawyers here care to weigh in on that?

I will never take any of these "emergency use" vaccines. Never, because who knows what the long term side effects, if any, will be? In two to five years we may have a good idea of that. We won't before then.

Now, if we were dealing with an Ebola pandemic, and Ebola was nearing my town, then I'd take the shot simply because the short term odds of dying from it would be far less than getting a disease with a 20-50% mortality rate. But Covid isn't in that league - 99%+ who get infected by it survive.

I'm guessing that the survival rate is actually around 99.9% since the vast numbers of asymptomatic people who have been infected are not tallied into the numbers.

As usual, when not vilifying that which is good, just and time tested, the Left champions and glorifies all that is evil, perverse and destructive. Not content to have recently paid to release a rapist who shortly thereafter raped again, the Massachusetts Bail Fund now ups the ante by paying to release a woman who murdered her child and dumped it into the trash. Who's funding this evil outfit? Leftists and leftist .orgs.

"It’s quickly degenerating from Fellini’s Satyricon to Pasolini’s Salo."

Salo. That is the most horrifyingly disgusting film I've ever seen. I watched it on a dare from a film professor I once knew. Big mistake. Disturbed me for days.

So, when does a class action suit against the Southern Poverty Law Center begin? Seems to me, a non-lawyer, that it’s a big, fat fabulously wealthy target for some enterprising lawyers to take aim at.
