One Thing Will Save Us From These Suicidal Lunatics—Mandates
ENOUGH
This is how we can save lives and protect our unvaccinated kids, and Biden is finally getting there.

I invite you, the majority who believe in science and vaccines and who don't eat horse paste, to stop sparing any thoughts or prayers for those who die from COVID-19 after adamantly refusing to get jabbed and aggressively promoting anti-vax and anti-mask disinformation during the deadliest pandemic of our lifetimes.

Instead, please join me in dispensing some much-needed tough love and champion vaccine mandates to save our country and fellow neighbors. President Biden agrees, and on Friday the White House announced that millions of federal contractor employees must be vaccinated by December 8.

I only wish the deadline was sooner so more lives could be saved. Nearly one in every 500 Americans alive at the start of this pandemic—more than 650,000 people—has now died to COVID-19. Many of them would still be alive if we had not coddled and tolerated a zealous pro-death cult that continues to compromise our children’s safety and disrespect frontline health-care workers and educators for their perverse, misguided delusion of freedom. If they choose death, let them march off the cliff.

The problem, however, is that their recklessness drags the rest of us to our doom. Some have said that not taking the vaccine is like choosing not to wear a seatbelt. But it’s more like being stuck in a car hijacked by an unhinged driver who refuses to wear a seatbelt and then proceeds to drive full-speed towards oncoming traffic while angrily blaming everyone else for going the wrong way.

Earlier this week, those who were injured in a Kroger grocery store shooting in Tennessee were rushed to the emergency rooms of a nearby hospital, which was already struggling to treat the high number of existing COVID-19 patients. Only 44 percent of Tennessee’s population is vaccinated, and Governor Bill Lee, trying his best to assist the Grim Reaper, signed an executive order banning mask requirements in schools. Across America, we are reading horror stories of how vaccinated, non-COVID patients are being deprived of necessary medical attention because selfish, ignorant people who refuse to take a free, highly available vaccine are filling up the ICUs and depending upon the very same health-care workers whom they ridicule, mock and hold in contempt.

1. A mental rot has been allowed to fester and has even been cultivated

The mental crisis of 21st century America is truly frightening to behold.

6. So true- science is mocked, ridiculed and mistrusted.

When I was growing up, science seemed to be held in much higher regard than it is now.

Scientists and medical experts are mocked, attacked and insulted while know-nothing celebrities are treated by the right as mental giants.

2. Hospitals can't keep accepting them either.

Some of them will have to provide only hospice care to the sickest patients. This is probably already happening in some locations, just quietly.

3. The solution I've been suggesting,

sad as it makes me, is that hospitals and ERs and ICUs have to begin to set aside a certain percent of beds for vaccinated and non-Covid related injuries and illness. Just out of the blue I'd say 20%. Twenty percent of all beds are held in reserve, even if that means transferring non-vaccinated Covid patients elsewhere, or making them wait for a non-vaccinated Covid bed to open up.

That--together with immediate vaccine mandates--not waiting until December but let's say by October 15th for your first dose--is what needs to happen ASAP.

I'm hoping the mandates will reduce or eliminate the need for any type of triage, but the longer we wait the worse it will get, and if a new vaccine resistant variant springs up among the deluded virus incubators then it's game over for ever getting our lives back to what we knew in 2015, let alone making progress along any other front (climate change, income equality, racial and disability justice, etc.).

4. For some reason I read that as, we will be saved by

Manatees.🤦

5. I did the same lol

8. The GQP wants Mandates, so they can make Biden's "Authoritarianism" a campaign issue

in the midterms.

They put an Authoritarian in the WH, we put an Authoritarian in the WH. False equivalencies are their bread & butter.

9. I'm all for mandates

No vaccine, no service.

I had a family member who needed stitches recently, thanks to a stupid kitchen accident. The MedExpress he went to was swamped with covid patients. There’s no place to get any kind of emergency care without being exposed to covid.
