A Boy Went to a COVID-Swamped ER. He Waited for Hours. Then His Appendix Burst.

Non-COVID patients are paying a price as the delta variant and low-vaccination rates overwhelm hospitals across the country. “Wait times can now be measured in days,” said an expert.

World-O-meter total again, now North of 690,000. Next stop the 700,000's - which, come next weekend, will easily have be blown through

800's in time for Christmas anyone?

And please, if anyone thinks that I'm making light of this, honestly I'm not. But it is a very, very sobering critique showing what can so easily go wrong in a divided society. And how easily a society can be divided by (and I shudder as I write this) a "charismatic" populist leader who is prepared to pander to a specific common denominator

For Fuck's Sake America - I'd hoped for so much better than this of you

A Breitbart columnist argues that leftists are aggressively pro-vaccination because they want to stop MAGA types getting vaccinated, thereby killing off conservative voters.

I am strongly pro-vaccine and now believe that Biden, the media, Hollywood, and the left, in general, are deliberately being as nasty as possible as a way to use reverse psychology against Trump supporters.

They know that the uglier they get, the more unvaccinated Trump supporters will dig in and refuse to get vaccinated. Well, I think that's the plan. They're vaccinated. We're not. The unvaccinated are almost exclusively the ones dying.

He sounds insane, but he might be correct on why some Trump supporters are refusing to get vaccinated - I think a lot of them must have doubts on their deathbeds whether allowing the "China virus" to infect them and cause a slow, horrible, lonely death was a good way to "own the libs."

Sounds like that columnist is the one desperately attempting to use reverse psychology, building a paranoid foundation upon which some of these chumps might actually get vaccinated.

For a pro-vaccine Breitbart reporter, that's a believable interpretation. Get the vaccine to own the libs.

“Open-minded & inclusive, I’m friends with all kinds of people. But as we pass 700,000 #Covid dead, I have zero tolerance for anti-Vaxers,” Rivera tweeted on Saturday.

Rivera went a step further, saying he has particular disgust for “vaccinated d–k heads who urge the unvaccinated to ‘fight for their freedom,’ the mob urging the man on ledge to jump.” That comment may be a particular reference to some of the pundits at Fox News, where over 90% of staffers are vaccinated while its hosts like Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham spread anti-vaccine views on their programs.

It’s strange because I’d never associated trump supporters with fairly regularly being diet or full fat sociopathic, selfish, stupid assholes.

Decent Washington Post article which covers such things as political allegiances vs. vaccination status with graphs etc. They think vaccination refusal/hesitancy has lead to 90,000 deaths; Fox News etc. has a body count.

Compares deaths in Biden voting counties with Trump counties, though I suspect a decent proportion of the deaths in ‘Biden counties’ may still be Trumpists.

and 90% of fox employers have had hte vax!

the body count thing is not a strong enough meme. the biggest grifters should just be asked pointedly, by people and any media hostile to them "what's you're body count please?"

yes, imply that they are murderous. play that card. enough all ready.

If you read the Herman Cain Award Reddit thread, it’s not surprising to see the same faces appearing in Facebook meme posts by the deceased. Candace Owens in particular has earned the nickname of ‘Angel of Death’ for her frequent appearances.

This story on the different kinds of unvaccinated Americans made some good points:

Research on the unvaccinated by KFF from this September showed the most powerful predictor of who remained unvaccinated was not age, politics, race, income or location, but the lack of health insurance.

Countries with far higher rates of vaccination, Canada and Britain, have responded by mobilizing their greatest strength: a national health care system.

Also, on "Contagion':

In the movie, fearful nurses walked off the job at the start of the pandemic, which begins to end as soon as vaccines become available, with people lining up eagerly for their turn.

The opposite happened in real life. Despite enormous personal risk, almost all health care workers stayed on the job in the first months of the Covid pandemic. Despite vaccines being widely available since spring in the United States, tens of thousands of people are dying every month because they chose not to be inoculated.
