I don't take any of your idiotic bullshit on the issue as anything more than idiotic bullshit.

But I'll never pass up an opportunity to let you know that it's idiotic bullshit.


But hey! At least we're making progress here...

You're not screaming "vagina!" anymore.

Looks like you finally realized that I do this to idiocy indiscriminately.

Dear Care and Feeding,

I am sure you get a lot of these types of questions now, but I really need some help. Despite significant political differences (my immediate family leans conservative and I lean liberal), we have remained a close-knit, loving unit of four. Of course, since the ascendency of Trump, the differences between my brother and me have been increasingly hard to navigate. Still, one thing I thought we had (and would always have!) in common was caring for each other’s welfare and for the welfare of our elderly parents. My father is terminally ill with heart failure and leukemia and has been hospitalized several times during the pandemic; my mother has twice been treated for cancer, most recently in 2017. They are both in their 80s. I’m sure you know where I am going with this.

I live about an hour away from them and visit as often as I can. When I do, I wear a mask despite the fact that all three of us are vaccinated (I made sure to help my parents get vaccinated as soon as they were eligible) and I work from home and observe all Covid precautions. Cut to my most recent visit: my brother unexpectedly showed up with his girlfriend from Peru, whom we had never met before, and neither one of them was wearing a mask. At first I said nothing, though I was very upset, and tried to remain as civil as possible but I could no longer hold my tongue when my brother began to tease me for wearing a mask, mockingly asking me if I had been “mandated.” I told him he had no right to mock me for taking seriously the well-being of our parents. He proceeded to lecture me about how Biden and Fauci are liars. At that point I had to excuse myself.

I privately told my mom I was leaving and encouraged her to dismiss my brother and his girlfriend from the house if they refused to take precautions. Shortly after I left, I believe my brother and his girlfriend left. But the damage is done. I am not sure either of them is vaccinated, and I have no certainty of the levels of precautions they take in their daily lives to know how high a risk they are to my parents. My question to you is this: How do I tell my mom to put her foot down with my brother? She wants to keep the peace and see her children. I don’t want to deny her that. However, if my brother is prioritizing his political views and balks at mask-wearing and taking other precautions to protect two people who are among the most vulnerable to the worst effects of this virus, I feel he needs to be barred from seeing them. What can I do?

—Frustrated Sister

Dear Frustrated,

I’m sorry—so sorry—that the bizarre politicization of a matter of public health has infiltrated the peace and harmony of your family and driven this wedge between siblings who had formerly managed to keep their political differences out of their relationship (no small thing!). You’re right: we get questions about family breakdowns around the politicization of Covid all the time. It makes absolutely no sense to me that anyone would not take Covid seriously given the scale of devastation we’ve seen. And despite being an advice columnist, I’ve been no better-equipped than anyone else to navigate relationships with people who refuse to take the threat seriously (I have tried and failed).

What I can tell you with certainty is that you will not be able to persuade your brother to see things the way you do (and you seem to be resigned to this) and that you cannot make your mother banish him from her home or her life. You can, of course—and you might as well—sit down with your parents and remind them of the risks they are taking with their lives if they spend time indoors, unmasked, with anyone who might infect them. Make sure they understand what we now know: that even fully vaccinated people of their age, particularly those with the other risk factors your parents have, are at risk of a dangerous “breakthrough” infection (younger, otherwise healthy people, if fully vaccinated, while at risk for breakthrough Covid, run only a very small risk of serious illness). Remind them that it would be much, much safer to spend time with your brother outdoors. But you are going to have to leave it at that. Your parents are capable of making their own decisions: being in one’s 80s doesn’t mean one has lost that capacity or right. And they love your brother and want to spend time with him. If they decide that taking this risk is worth it to them—as long as they understand the risk—you must let it be.

If you want to give it your all—because they may not be able to stand up to their son even if they decide they would like to impose some restrictions on his visits for the sake of their own safety—write a heartfelt letter or email to your brother. If you’re not sure what to say, you might try something along the lines of, “I understand that we have very different thoughts and feelings about Covid, but I’m worried about Mom and Dad, and they are worried about themselves. If you’d rather not wear a mask, I’m hoping you’ll consider visiting with them outdoors, which would be much safer for everyone.”

I will tell you ahead of time that I’ve tried something like this—with someone I considered a friend—and my effort failed miserably. I was naïve to think it would work. And yet—even so—if I had it to do over, I’d do the same thing. Because what choice do we have? We have to try.

But that’s all you can do: try. And then you have to step away, because the rest of it is out of your control. I wish you—and your parents—the very best.

Double threat

During the current pandemic, some scientists have started to worry that the coronavirus could increase the risk of dementia. As scientists from Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York warned in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease last year: "It is possible that there may be an existing population who have become unknowingly predisposed to neurodegeneration through silent viral entry into the brain."

There are some signs that Covid infections can bring about neural damage. Researchers at a recent meeting of the Alzheimer's Association, for example, presented an analysis of blood samples taken from otherwise healthy patients recovering from Covid. They found elevated levels of signature chemicals that often accompany the onset of Alzheimer's disease.

This could just be another consequence of the overall assault on the body, including the increased inflammation that comes with the disease. But some animal studies and analyses of human autopsies suggest that the coronavirus can invade the brain. And laboratory experiments suggest that this infection may, in turn, trigger neural damage. In one striking study, Jay Gopalakrishnan at Heinrich-Heine-University in Dusseldorf and colleagues created a series of "cerebral organoids" – miniature, lab-grown brain tissue – and then exposed them to the virus. They saw some marked changes in the tau proteins that are associated with Alzheimer's, and increased neural death, after infection from the virus.

Such findings ring alarm bells for Fulop. "Sars-Cov-2 may act exactly as HSV-1," he proposes. Others – including Gopalakrishnan – are more cautious, however. "We have demonstrated that the virus can infect human neurons, and it can cause some sort of neuronal stress," he says. "And this may have some unexpected effects." Much more research will be necessary to assess any long-term risks for neurological disease.

Under increasing pressure from his GOP primary opponents, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is changing his position on vaccine mandates and now trying to bar private businesses from requiring their workers to get them.

It was just in August, Abbott declared in an executive order that he would bar governments from requiring them. But his office made clear he would not meddle in private business decisions.

"Private businesses don't need government running their business,” Abbott’s spokeswoman Renae Eze said at the time.

But that changed Monday as the uproar from conservative politicians over Southwest Airlines canceling hundreds of flights, which many Republicans have insisted is due to a worker shortage because of employees refusing to get vaccinated. Southwest Airlines and the pilots union have denied that is the reason for the cancellations.

Still, after U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz and other politicians slammed Southwest Airlines repeatedly for their vaccine mandates, Abbott issued a new government decree barring any private company from requiring COVID vaccines for employees who object to them for “any reason of personal conscience.”

Hours earlier former State Sen. Don Huffines, one of Abbott’s opponents, declared on social media that if he were governor he’d ban all vaccine mandates. And just over the weekend, another primary opponent Allen West declared he too is even more committed to opposing vaccine mandates even as he was recovering from being hospitalized from COVID-19.

If the COVID-19 pandemic is not brought under control, it would reduce global GDP by a cumulative $5.3 trillion over the next five years, the International Monetary Fund warned on Tuesday.

Economies around the world are now divided into two camps: those with access to the vaccine and those without.

Less than 5% of the population in low-income developing countries are fully vaccinated compared with about 58% in the richest economies.

The IMF is forecasting that emerging market economies will gain greater access to vaccines in 2022, while some of the poorest will have to wait until 2023.

Hospitalizations and deaths are expected to be brought to low levels everywhere by the end of 2022.

Hannah Arendt said the ideal subjects of totalitarian rule were people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and between true and false no longer existed. Hannah Arendt talks about vulgarity and totalitarianism, that the way that leaders speak changes people’s souls. It changes what people think is right and wrong, acceptable, unacceptable. And that does damage. It really does hurt the society.

A key point that both Putin and Trump share is that when they lie they never apologize. They never acknowledge that they’ve made mistakes or lie because they don’t believe that there is actually a truth out there. It is not just a habit. It’s a policy to try to crowd factuality out of the public sphere. You lie all the time. You call the journalists the liars and then it’s in that confusion that you govern. Because if people don’t believe that there is truth, they think they’re sophisticated but in fact they’re completely impotent.

6ix, you are lying.

Aug. 24, 2021 - Former President Donald Trump was booed at a rally in Cullman, Alabama, over the weekend when he urged the crowd to get vaccinated against COVID-19.

“I believe totally in your freedoms. I do. You’ve got to do what you have to do,” Trump said Saturday. “But I recommend: take the vaccines. I did it. It’s good. Take the vaccines.”

Some people in the largely maskless crowd started booing. Trump responded to the boos by saying it was “OK.”

“But I happen to take the vaccine,” he said. “If it doesn’t work, you’ll be the first to know. OK? I’ll call up Alabama, I’ll say, ‘Hey, you know what?’ But [the vaccine] is working. But you do have your freedoms you have to keep. You have to maintain that.”

“To be clear: None of the information from Southwest, its pilots union, or the FAA indicates that this weekend’s cancellations were related to vaccine mandates,” the Federal Aviation Administration tweeted Monday evening.

Kelly made the rounds of morning television Tuesday to explain that the thousands of nationwide cancellations and delays were sparked by weather issues in Florida and compounded by air traffic control issues in the surrounding area, triggering a chain reaction of cancellations through the weekend and Monday.

Big business is overwhelmingly in favor of requiring that workers get vaccinated against Covid-19. A recent CNBC survey of chief financial officers found that 80 percent of them say they “totally support” the Biden administration’s plan to impose a vaccine-or-test mandate on companies with more than 100 workers, and many companies have already announced vaccination requirements for their employees.

Yet Greg Abbott, the governor of Texas, just issued an executive order banning vaccine mandates in his state. That is, he’s not just refusing to use his own powers to promote vaccination; he’s interfering in private decisions, trying to prevent businesses from requiring that their workers or customers be vaccinated.

And on Sunday, Senator Ted Cruz celebrated a wave of flight cancellations by Dallas-based Southwest Airlines, based on rumors — which both the airline and its union deny — that the problems were caused by a walkout of employees protesting the airline’s new vaccine requirements.

What’s going on here?

Republicans have been closely allied with big business since the Gilded Age, when a party originally based on opposition to slavery was in effect captured by the rising power of corporations. That alliance lost some of its force in the 1950s and 1960s, an era in which the G.O.P. largely accepted things like progressive taxation and strong labor unions, but came back in full with the rise of Ronald Reagan and his agenda of tax cuts and deregulation.

Indeed, it wasn’t that long ago that you could plausibly think of the Republican Party as basically a front for big-business interests, one that exploited social issues and appeals to racial hostility to win elections, only to turn immediately after each election to a pro-corporate agenda. That was basically the thesis of Thomas Frank’s 2004 book “What’s the Matter With Kansas,” and it seemed like a good model of the party until the rise of Trumpism.

Now, however, Republican politicians are at odds with corporate America on crucial issues. It’s not just vaccines. Corporate interests also want serious investment in infrastructure and find themselves on the outs with Republican leaders who don’t want to see Democrats achieve any policy successes. Basically, the G.O.P. is currently engaged in a major campaign of sabotage — its leaders want to see America do badly, because they believe this will redound to their political advantage — and if this hurts their corporate backers along the way, they don’t care.

Just to be clear, corporations aren’t being good guys. They support vaccine mandates and infrastructure investment because they believe that both would be good for their bottom lines. They’re still for the most part opposed to the rest of the Biden agenda, including — unforgivably — efforts to fight climate change, because they don’t want to pay higher taxes.

Still, the conflict between the G.O.P. and corporations is a striking new turn in American politics. And I wonder if some corporate leaders find themselves asking, in the privacy of their own minds, “My God, what have we done?”

For the truth is that the Republican Party has been growing increasingly radical — and decreasingly rational — for a long time. Republicans, the Anti-Business Party.

On Sunday, Nicole Sperry said her final goodbyes to her 10-year-old daughter, who died from Covid-19. Less than 24 hours later, she was behind a podium combating misinformation from parents at a Virginia school board meeting: "My message for you and all that are listening is that Covid is not over, no matter what people who have been standing up here have said. On September 27, during the last meeting, there were parents or concerned citizens that voiced misinformation to you."

"They said that Covid is basically over and that healthy people do not die. When they were sharing this information, their opinions, the fact was, I was sitting next to my healthy daughter's deathbed. She died five days after showing symptoms. I am sure they were speaking to what they've experienced, but they are wrong."

6ix, you are just making up stories about what you don't know for reasons that you won't explain. A statement by the Southwest Airlines Pilots Association elaborated on the rumors:
“There are false claims of job actions by Southwest pilots currently gaining traction on social media and making their way into mainstream news. I can say with certainty that there are no work slowdowns or sickouts either related to the recent mandatory vaccine mandate or otherwise.”

/

The union also said the travel headaches were caused by poor planning.

"SWA has claimed that the immediate causes of this weekend’s meltdown were staffing at Jacksonville center and weather in the southeast U.S., but what was a minor temporary event for other carriers devastated southwest airlines because our operation has become brittle and subject to massive failures under the slightest pressure,” the union said in a statement online.

No. That's not suspect at all.

You are an idiot.

6ix, you are just making up stories about what you don't know for reasons that you won't explain. A statement by the Southwest Airlines Pilots Association elaborated on the rumors:
“There are false claims of job actions by Southwest pilots currently gaining traction on social media and making their way into mainstream news. I can say with certainty that there are no work slowdowns or sickouts either related to the recent mandatory vaccine mandate or otherwise.”

The union also said the travel headaches were caused by poor planning.

"SWA has claimed that the immediate causes of this weekend’s meltdown were staffing at Jacksonville center and weather in the southeast U.S., but what was a minor temporary event for other carriers devastated southwest airlines because our operation has become brittle and subject to massive failures under the slightest pressure,” the union said in a statement online.

Hannah Arendt talks about vulgarity and totalitarianism, that the way that leaders speak changes people’s souls. It changes what people think is right and wrong, acceptable, unacceptable. And that does damage. It really does hurt the society.

A key point that both Putin and Trump share is that when they lie they never apologize. They never acknowledge that they’ve made mistakes or lie because they don’t believe that there is actually a truth out there. It is not just a habit. It’s a policy to try to crowd factuality out of the public sphere. You lie all the time. You call the journalists the liars and then it’s in that confusion that you govern. Because if people don’t believe that there is truth, they think they’re sophisticated but in fact they’re completely impotent.

You mean that if you circumvent the Constitution using an agency that was created during the Nixon administration to mandate people get vaccines they don't want or need that they're not going to stick around and make minimum wage?

Fuck you.

The number of people quitting their jobs has surged to record highs, pushed by a combination of factors that include Americans sensing ample opportunity and better pay elsewhere.

Some 4.3 million people quit jobs in August — about 2.9 percent of the workforce, according to new data released Tuesday from the Labor Department. Those numbers are up from the previous record set in April, of about 4 million people quitting, reflecting how the pandemic has continued to jolt workers’ mind-sets about their jobs and their lives.

The phenomenon is being driven in part by workers who are less willing to endure inconvenient hours and poor compensation, who are quitting instead to find better opportunities. According to the report, there were 10.4 million job openings in the country at the end of August — down slightly from July’s record high, which was adjusted up to 11.1 million, but still a tremendously high number. This gives workers enormous leverage as they look for a better fit.

Employees at other airlines have been emboldened by what the pilots at Southwest Airlines have done.

You should expect airlines at every major airport to have a bunch of bullshit excuses why they're cancelling flights.

Too bad for them that pilots are far less replaceable than retail employees.

They can't keep lying about this one in the media for long.

It is NOT the Covid-19 vaccination mandate, but rather Southwest scheduling too many flights. Last Sunday it attempted to operate its busiest schedule since March 2020. Instead, the system collapsed when many Southwest Airlines pilots hit their federally mandated duty limits.

Southwest Airlines' Flight Cancellation Problem Returns With a Vengeance
https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/10/13/southwest-airlines-flight-ca
ncellation-problem-ret
/

This also happened to Southwest back in June, when the system collapsed for the same reason: too many flights and too many pilots hitting their federally mandated duty limits, which grounded the planes. Obviously, Southwest is failing to keep track of duty limits, but pilots keep track and tell their bosses that they will hit their limit in the middle of a 4 hour flight, therefore the pilot can't takeoff on that flight. If there aren't any spare pilots sitting in the airport lounge drinking Sprite or Pepsi, the flight is cancelled AND ALL OTHER FLIGHTS USING THAT SAME PLANE THAT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY BECAUSE THE PLANE IS NOT IN THE CITY IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE ACCORDING TO SOUTHWEST'S SCHEDULE!

Nope. That's a lie.

You are totally committed to your fake explanation. Here is another factoid about airlines: Unlike the Serenity spaceship, Southwest Airlines must have two pilots in the cockpit, not just one, when it flies. If one of the pilots will reach during flight the duty limit set by the FAA, the other pilot cannot take the plane into the air. If the plane is not in the air, all other flights using that same plane for the next 48 hours will be cancelled unless a spare pilot is found damn quick.

From the Orlando Sentinel:

Conservative politicians and pundits, including Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, alleged the flight disruptions resulted from pilots and air traffic controllers walking off their jobs or calling in sick to protest federal vaccination requirements.

The airline, its pilots’ union and the Federal Aviation Administration denied that.

“The weekend challenges were not a result of Southwest employee demonstrations,” Southwest spokesman Chris Mainz said Monday.

You and Trump always right. Trump said that campaigning in 2024 would be “a waste of time, quite frankly, because I have already won that election.” Asked how he could have won an election that is not scheduled to occur for another three years, he said, “People are saying that it already did happen. A lot of very smart people are calling me and saying that.”

Yeah. That's exactly right.

Democrats are going to have fucked the country up so bad in 3 more years that nobody would believe that Democrats won in 2024. They couldn't possibly cheat that much.

Newly Discovered Bat Viruses Give Hints to Covid’s Origins

Three of the Laos coronaviruses were unusual: They carried a molecular hook on their surface that was very similar to the hook on the virus that causes Covid-19, called SARS-CoV-2. Like SARS-CoV-2, their hook allowed them to latch onto human cells.

“It is even better than early strains of SARS-CoV-2,” said Marc Eloit, a virologist at the Pasteur Institute in Paris who led the study, referring to how well the hook on the Laos coronaviruses binds to human cells.

The findings have significant implications for the charged debate over Covid’s origins, experts say. Some people have speculated that SARS-CoV-2’s impressive ability to infect human cells could not have evolved through a natural spillover from an animal. But the new findings seem to suggest otherwise.

“That really puts to bed any notion that this virus had to have been concocted, or somehow manipulated in a lab, to be so good at infecting humans,” said Michael Worobey, a University of Arizona virologist who was not involved in the work.

“When a coronavirus that we have monitored for decades, that we think of as just something our pets can get, can make the jump (to humans) — we should have seen that coming, right?” Dr. Carlson said.

The COVID pandemic unleashed attacks on scientists

Dozens of researchers tell Nature they have received death threats, or threats of physical or sexual violence.

Infectious-diseases physician Krutika Kuppalli had been in her new job for barely a week in September 2020, when someone phoned her at home and threatened to kill her.

Kuppalli, who had just moved from California to the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, had been dealing with online abuse for months after she’d given high-profile media interviews on COVID-19, and had recently testified to a US congressional committee on how to hold safe elections during the pandemic. But the phone call was a scary escalation. “It made me very anxious, nervous and upset,” says Kuppalli, who now works at the World Health Organization (WHO) in Geneva, Switzerland.

She called the police, but didn’t hear that they took any action. The threatening e-mails, calls and online comments continued. The police officer who visited Kuppalli after a second death-threat call suggested she should get herself a gun.

Kuppalli’s experience during the pandemic is not uncommon. A survey by Nature of more than 300 scientists who have given media interviews about COVID-19 — many of whom had also commented about the pandemic on social media — has found wide experience of harassment or abuse; 15% said they had received death threats.

I have seen this same movie before, where the police in a 1962 movie can do nothing. In real life 2021, the police still can do nothing until the scientist is killed. Only then can the police be "helpful". -- Cape Fear (1962 film) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Fear_(1962_film)

You were lucky if the police weren't anything but glorified janitors mopping up after the fact before the wackjob Left and the Legacy Media hailed drug addict and street-doc-abortionist George Floyd as a hero.

Nobody in the world is crying for Leftist shills that can't get the cops to take them seriously after they spent 1.5 years trying to get them defunded.

Nobody.

Brandon is your Legacy Media lying to you again, but this time brazenly doing it while facts are right there in front of your face.

Glad that we've got Jayneztown here to Google for you since your Googleing fingers are apparently broken this morning.

Virginia father of four expresses vaccine regret to his own mother before dying of COVID-19

Kevin Mitchem's wife, Misty, had reportedly succumbed to the virus earlier in the month; the couple were in their 40s, their kids between 1 and 11.

The unvaccinated Virginia couple died of COVID-19, leaving behind four children -- and the father with one tragic regret before he succumbed. "He called me up and said, 'Mom, I love you, and I wish that I'd got the shot,'" said Terry Mitchem, the mother of Kevin Mitchem, to NBC 4 in Washington, D.C

"Please get it," Kevin's father, Don Mitchem, told the station. "That virus will take you at any age. But taking a mother and father is -- it's uncalled for," Don Mitchem said.
