It's happening, and it's happening more quietly than people realize.

High profile stuff makes it to twitter and the media. On the ground though, I was at a county fair a week ago and that fucker was packed to the gills. Concerts are selling out. There are angry signs for masks at every store I've been to for the past month but nobody gives a shit. I am not in a particularly red or blue area either way, pretty much down the middle.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think a single American child has died of COVID yet without any other prior medical factors. So we've taught a generation of kids and young parents to be afraid of something that literally is not harmful to kids.

Then that bitch from the CDC literally has to say "400 kids dying is too many!" Not in a year plus. I wish no kids died, but we don't live in that kind of world.

I find it highly ironic that leftists will yell at you for not listening to science when you refuse the placebo vaccine but when a doctor prescribes none-vaccine antivirals they call everyone involved a hack or fraud.

The only standards leftists have are double standards.

Joe Rogan should sue CNN.

I don't think Rogan can, simply because he can't prove damages. I think if anything, people saw the media freaking out about Rogan and Rogan gained more popularity. I haven't heard a single person in my leftie state actually rip Rogan.

It's not that quiet.

College football stadiums were packed this past weekend, to the point Saint Fauci went on TV to complain about it.

Fauci on College Football Fans Packing Stadiums: 'I Don't Think it's Smart"

CNN ignored that Wuhan lab documents show that Dr. Fauci lied about gain-of-function research and instead asked him Tuesday about his thoughts on fans

That's too bad, I would've relished in seeing CNN take a beating.

HuffPost on Twitter: "Tough choices? Not so much, says the late-night…

"If you don't get the vaccine, then you don't deserve healthcare."

Couple things:

-This is a horrifying precedent and a frightening number of people are hugely in favor of it
-Kimmel continues to make culture worse
-What happened to medical care being a basic human right that everyone deserves access to?
-I keep seeing the valid question "if we should deny healthcare to anti vaxxers because they choose to be unhealthy, shouldn't we also deny beds to the morbidly obese, since they also chose to be unhealthy?" answered with "being fat isn't a transmittable disease" which doesn't actually answer the question. Since being obese not only drastically increases your chance of complications from covid, but also puts you at great risk for health complications, since we're allegedly low on beds shouldn't we also prioritize helping those who choose to be healthy instead of those who knowingly self sabotaged their own bodies despite the countless warnings by every scientific magazine that eating right and exercising is vital to a long life?

Ask them if we can deny treatment to sex workers with STDs or to gang bangers with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds and watch them scream sexism and racism respectively.

You have to realize just how hard it is to sue the mainstream media.

Project Veritas is engaged in lawsuits with the New York Times right now, and the New York Times's ACTUAL DEFENSE, I swear to God, is that Project Veritas cannot sue for defamation because their own articles are "statements of opinion based on disclosed facts." Yes, the DEFENSE for the New York Times is that they can't be sued for defamation because their own news articles are opinion-based, not fact-based.

New York Times defends itself against Project Veritas defamation suit

The New York Times filed its defense Monday against a Project Veritas defamation suit that claims the Times’s coverage of a Veritas video was incorrect, defamatory and driven by resentment on the part of the newspaper’s reporters.
thehill.com thehill.com

They included many of the traditional legal defenses used by media outlets, including that Project Veritas can’t sue for defamation because some of the “statements at issue” weren’t presented as facts but as “opinion, or statements of opinion based on disclosed facts.”

So if Brian Stelter goes on CNN and starts talking shit about you and making accusations, you can't sue CNN because that's just Stelter's opinion and opinion is not defamation.

Even if Rogan were to lose endorsements, Rogan probably still wouldn't win a defamation suit unless he can PROVE in court that CNN knowingly lied. If CNN's "opinions" led to Rogan losing endorsement money, that's still not defamation.

Well that defense is dumb as pig shit, they spread lies that were damaging, that's the only part that matters in a libel/slander suit.

FIX THE FUCKING QUOTES. AHHHHHHHH.

ahem
This is a standard defense for defamation. You're gonna try it if there's even a chance it might work.

It'd be hilarious if they won on it though. I'd still rather see what Veritas comes up with in discovery.

Well, will wonders never cease. Our utterly useless county "board of supervisors" didn't okay an indoor mask mandate...for now.

BREAKING NEWS FROM THE CARMEL PINE CONE

September 8, 2021, 1:52 p.m.

COUNTY SUPERVISORS DECLINE TO OK MASK MANDATE

Dear Subscribers,

Citing declining case rates in the county, two members of the Monterey County Board of Supervisors today voted against requiring that masks be worn indoors in the county.

The vote was 3 to 2, with Luis Alejo, Wendy Askew and Mary Adams in favor of the mandate, but John Phillips and Chris Lopez opposed. Because the mandate was proposed on an emergency basis, it needed 4 votes to go into effect.(Watch...it will come up later, on a non-emergency basis, then those three cocksuckers will vote to shove it up our asses. People are getting tired of this shit. - JS)


On another subject, wore my "Recall Gavin Newsom" mask to the post office yesterday. Didn't stand six feet behind some twat. She didn't like it. Told her in my country, the United States of America, we didn't need to do such things. Bitch told me this was America. Told her no, this was California. Another sow looked at me and mumbled something. I just smiled, under my mask. I hate these fucking sheeple.

Tomorrow wearing my "Recall Gavin Newsom" sweatshirt, get all the wear I can before the election. Yo, Newsom. Fuck you in the heart. 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕

Don't even argue the obesity point, I say skip right to HIV (considering it's definitely a transmissible disease and almost inevitably fatal without treatment, unlike SARS-CoV-2). "Okay, you think the unvaccinated shouldn't receive medical care? What about the gay men who choose to forego PrEP? Should healthcare providers not treat them if they suffer unfortunate consequences?"

Hypocrisy and double standards are typical for these fuckers, but this argument might short-circuit them for a good minute.

I've yet to see anything showing that children die from Delta either.

And everything I see about child hospitalizations gets quietly corrected when nobody notices.

www.texastribune.org

Texas children and children’s hospitals are under siege from two viruses: RSV and COVID-19

More children are being treated in Texas hospitals for COVID-19 than ever before, and an unseasonable outbreak of respiratory syncytial virus is adding to the stress on children’s hospitals.
www.texastribune.org www.texastribune.org

Correction, Aug. 12, 2021: An earlier version of this story overstated the number of children who have been hospitalized in Texas recently with COVID-19. The story said over 5,800 children had been hospitalized during a seven-day period in August, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That number correctly referred to children hospitalized with COVID-19 since the pandemic began. In actuality, 783 children were admitted to Texas hospitals with COVID-19 between July 1 and Aug. 9 of this year.

Hey, remember when we said 5800 children were hospitalized in 7 days? Turns out it was less than 800 in 40 days. We were off by a literal power of 40 (from 800/day to 20/day). Our bad.
