How did we ever allow such evil, tyrannical, malevolent morons as these to take control of our government? The lunatic fringe who once merely were generously tolerated are now in charge and wreaking havoc on everything we once held dear.
Unfortunately the discourse on natural immunity has now progressed in one of a couple possible directions (pick your favorite flavor):
1. "But what about Delta?!?!"
2. "But your neutralizing antibodies increase if you get vaccinated with one dose after recovery!"
3. "But what about the CDC Kentucky study? It says you're more than twice as likely to be reinfected if you haven't been vaccinated!"
Peer review gets witheld (deliberately?) from the Israel and Cleveland findings while farce after farce regarding masks and viral load is cited by the CDC to back official guidance.
My boyfriend is about to lose his job in an isla verde restaurant because he wants no part of this gene therapy dressed up as a vaccine. I haven’t lost my job because I managed to get a doctor’s note, but no less than three HR employees called me and violated every HIPPA law (which is a source of comedy at this point) by trying to dig into my health history or my reasons to not get vaccinated. Still, I wouldn’t be surprised if the company decides to get rid of me, as I’m the only one in the whole department to not get the useless injection. They made the building where I work restricted to “fully vaccinated” and moved me to another “mixed facility”, far from my team. Medical apartheid indeed.
What’s happening all around PR is repulsive, nobody is questioning anything, neither are they well-read or properly informed. Follow the science has simply turned into a game of monkey-see, monkey-do / follow-the-leader and ask no intelligent questions. Most certainly, one must avoid entering into an argument with any of the many mindless drones in the population. Get vaccinated whether you want to or not, data be damned, or get your life turned upside down.
I don’t understand why we’re not screaming our lungs out, clearly declaring “no, we will not comply” in numbers to rival the protests in France. We did it once before to remove an idiot from office, how is this not ten times more important?
That mayor is the single sensible voice speaking against the current tyrannical mandates and in favor of common sense, respect for personal choice and general decency. I’m utterly disappointed and appalled at Puerto Rico’s dispirited response when faced with the very real prospect of living under an authoritarian regime (considering we’re still an effing colony, it shouldn’t be so upsetting to me, and yet it is... I weep for what is to come)
I gotta be honest, for a split second when I turned on the TV on the first day of the Cuban protests I heard "corona" and thought it was lockdown protests in San Juan or something.
No offense intended, El Gato, but Pierluisi has been absolutely banana republic from day one, like Duterte swaggering that the police were going to cap anyone who stepped outside their house. If you had each of them tuck a riding crop under one arm you probably couldn't tell them apart.
So why aren't the fine folks of PR out in the streets telling Pierluisi to pack his bags right now? It's not as though Puerto Ricans are averse to a rousing protest from time to time.
My biggest concern after reviewing the graphs that you have created, along with many others on Twitter, is not that masks don't work--you proved that many months ago. I'm concerned that masks aid in the transmission of the virus. You wear a mask, an infected person is talking and gesticulating near you. The particles land on your mask. It's the perfect incubator. Am I the only one seeing this?
When weak leaders excuse, rationalize and appease intolerance, mendacity and ignorance they become accepted norms. When those traits become accepted norms, the intolerant, mendacious and ignorant become the new leaders. As leaders, they don’t become more tolerant, less mendacious and more wise.
OT but somewhere I saw an analysis of why the “99% of hospitalizations are the unvaxxed” cannot be true and I think it was the bad cat but I can’t find it. Can anyone help?

Just reading this together with news ftom Latvia, where they will start vaccinations on public transport.
Starting here in San Francisco now, too. & LA. It's not like this is a concerted attack or anything.

Brilliant... Right on... Gracias !
Meanwhile in Illinois vaccine passports tied to our credit score at Experian. Our legislature did not vote on this. They are getting closer to the mark of the beast—where buying and selling is tied to it. https://www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/pritzker-administration-releases-vax-verify-program-digital-proof-of-covid-vaccine/article_ea5188e6-fac1-11eb-a774-8b184089fb75.amp.html
