Andy Slavitt – a stockbroker and political contributor who became a FEMA official under Obama, and a Covid “advisor” to President Harris – says we just don’t know when we’ve got it good.
Is there anything you can say about this Administraiton – no, modern Big Left – that you couldn’t say just as well about an abusive parent or spouse?
No, seriously?

Best response” “This is the message from America’s corporate and managerial class, which flourished during the pandemic and whose members happily worked from home while the working class suffered: ‘maybe you selfish poors should have suffered more,’” tweeted The Federalist political editor John Daniel Davidson.
We would have been much better off, healthwise and economically, if the government had taken a hands off approach and we had done the basics: take common sense precautions, quarantine the sick, and protect vulnerable populations.
Instead our ruling class defied science and put their faith in their own expertise. As a result there has been massive damage to the world economy while they did okay, Large corporations and the wealthy did just fine, and ordinary workers suffered.

I dunno, MO, The Great and Wonderful Walz’s computer model says he did everything correctly.
Wish I had a model like that.

Instead our ruling class defied science theater – FIFY

Whatever kind of “science” the elites were following was pretty shitty. It consistently underperformed compared to the guesstimates of laymen (like me) and ignored obvious evidence that reality did not match the theory.
This “science” had the peculiar bias of confirming the self-serving ideology of the ruling class.

Up on the North Shore for a few days. Mask mania mostly gone except for a restaurant in Two Harbors with a “wear a mask” sign on the door. Naturally we took out business elsewhere. If I get ambitious I may give them a strong negative review on Yelp.

golfdoc, have you heard anything more about the Novavax vaccine?

Do not forget the shit work of Walz & Biden covid adviser, UM epidemiologist Mike Osterholm, who said on Jan 31 this year:
Although overall COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations have declined during the past few weeks, another storm is brewing on the horizon with the variants, Osterholm told host Chuck Todd. The U.K. variant will likely cause a surge in COVID-19 cases during the next 6 to 14 weeks, he said.
“You and I are sitting on this beach where it’s 70 degrees, perfectly blue skies, gentle breeze. But I see that Hurricane 5, Category 5 or higher, 450 miles offshore,” he said. “And telling people to evacuate on that nice blue sky day is going to be hard. But I can also tell you that hurricane is coming.”

What a frikkin’ joke. How dare the authorities who listened to this jackass lecture others about “science.”

I luv when you go off on Osterholm, MO.

Virtually all hospitalized Covid-19 patients have one thing in common: They’re unvaccinated.

Virtually all of the people who died after receiving the vaccine are dead.

👆I admire your courage to consistently stay on brand.

You and I are sitting on the beach enjoying the calm and the sun, but not Osterholm! His years of experience and his many degrees mean that, unlike us, he cane see that cat 5 hurricane 450 miles offshore!
What an f’n moron. He has parlayed bullshit peddling into a forty year career.
June 16th, 2021 at 5:53 pm
Virtually all of the people hospitalized for complications from the covid vaccination have received the covid vaccination.
Lots of f’n morons out there these days.

I learned today that three of my friends, ages 68, 66 and 71, all caught WuFlu and were really sick from it, with 2 of them on the verge of needing respirators. They all asked their doctors to give them HCQ and Zinc or ivermectin. Their doctors complied. All of them improved over night and were 100% within 3 and 4 days respectively. Two of the doctors repeated the results with other patients, some of whom had co morbidities. Despite their successes, these doctors were reluctant to tout their successes and had to ask their patients not to do so either.

It would then seem some courage is, in fact, needed to stay on the brand that HCQ and Zinc or ivermectin can cure Kung flu. Or at least to tell others about it.

/The trend appears to be occurring at hospitals nationwide. “I haven’t had anyone that’s been fully vaccinated become critically ill,” said Dr. Josh Denson, a pulmonary medicine and critical care physician at Tulane University Medical Center in New Orleans./
/It’s been the same for Dr. Ken Lyn-Kew, a pulmonologist in the critical care department at Denver’s National Jewish Health: “None of our ICU patients has been vaccinated.” Unvaccinated children, too, seem to be at increased risk for severe illness./

Can you imagine being so daft that you take advice from some wacko who calls himself “Maximum Overlord” on the internet just spewing drivel?
BTW — is there a treatment yet for (Osterholm Derangement Syndrome?
June 17th, 2021 at 1:45 pm
Let’s see if you folks can see the pattern here:
Vaccines – ALL OF THEM – got EMERGENCY FDA clearance ONLY. This means NONE of the vaccines have gone through the testing customarily required to make sure they do not KILL anyone. OK, doc can correct me if Novavax indeed went through all the testing – it may have, but that would be the only one.
On what grounds is EMERGENCY clearance given? When there is NO treatment. But, but, some of you may say, HCQ/ZN and Ivermectin and Remedisvr (sp?). Which are proven drugs that arguably SUCCESSFULLY work to TREAT Wuhan Flu. So if treatment is available, EMERGENCY does NOT exist and ALL vaccines (OK, maybe not Novavax) should be pulled.
But have you tried to source Ivermectin lately? Drug that just a few month ago cost $0.39/pill is now way over $3/pill directly from the pharmacy. Demand? NO! Just ask your doctor to prescribe you Ivermectin and see what happens. And some pharmacies, like CVS in MSP, refuse to carry and better yet, REFUSE to fill prescriptions! MOTHERFUCKERS are DENYING treatment to patients, FUCKING KILLING THEM! LITERALLY!
Follow the money. String all the vaxxers, CDC, Big goobernment and their Big Pharma overlords by the balls from the nearest lightpost. These motherfuckers are commiting a crime against humanity! Bueller? Bueller? Nothing to see here, move along sheeple!

What are you talking about? I have given no advice about the covid vaccine.
You are a dimwit.

Someday I might encounter someone who uses the term “dimwit” non- ironically who is sufferable and worthwhile. But not today.

Whew! Thank God I am here to correct emery’s lies and errors, and not to impress him!

I’m a helper and happy to bring attention to your misinformation and BS….
June 19th, 2021 at 5:44 pm
What misinformation and BS? All you do is make up words and say that I wrote them.
Weird debating style, doesn’t look much like “winning.”
