Governments have made life a misery for so many people for over a year, that any chance I get to stamp my foot and say, "no," well, I'm going to do it. No surprise, that goes for the vaccine as well. (Also I'm low risk, also likely immune. If SARS-CoV-2 came from a lab, maybe I can say I have the Wuhan vaccine.) Now with a politician pushing PC822 for vaccine passports here in PR, I'm even more likely to say, "no." Because if they push me, I'll push back. I suppose the government figures the threat of a passport will "encourage" an uptick in vaccinations. The coercion might have the opposite effect.

A few months ago, I read an article about medical professionals who were holding off on the vaccine. The "reporter" had the gall to indeed play the "I'm on the side of science game." He suggested that the doctors and nurses were ill-informed. After all, he said, the general public is sometimes more well-versed in scientific matters than doctors and nurses because doctors and nurses specialize or some such nonsense.

Clown world.

in dd eisenhower's military industry complex speech of 1/1961 he also warned of technocrats, and experts used by politicians.....

experts are not elected, but they are used by elected as appeal to authority to deny truth and debate.

the great assault un trump included his refusing to obey the think tanks dictators.....

democrats on the other hand like the think tank dictators' cash....

appeal to authority and cherry picking along with a bunch of gas lighting.... there goes liberty

This entire “clown world” has been brought to us by “experts.” The basis of Gato’s immunology lesson for today is middle school science if I remember correctly. Well that was a long time ago and today’s kittens are getting more indoctrination than education.

pardon me miss gaye, but i think that maybe they don't teach science in middle school anymore.

i think i read somewhere that it was critical to drop it for some sort of other theory. oh, and for racing. i guess they do more PE now?
