You know that study where they forced rats to live in very crowded conditions and they began behaving irrationally; Eating their young, fighting without cause…
I keep running into situations in our human society that make me wonder whether we’re behaving a lot like those rats would if they were human…
A couple of op-eds have argued that vaccine mandates for police are a win-win – the officers threatening to resign over mandated COVID vaccination are often the worst racist, authoritarian bullies who have no business having a badge. Let them purge themselves!
Not surprised when police shrink away from their duties to protect the public. Lived in a town where the police refused to stop an insane gunman who was walking up to cars stopping at an intersection and shooting drivers – they waited until he appeared to run out of ammunition… later, when answering questions in front of the press, the Chief claimed that the duty of the police was not to protect – yet you could plainly see “To protect and to serve” written on the sides of all of the city’s police cars…
You can’t make this stuff up: the regional health board in the county in Idaho where Boise, the state capitol is located, got rid of a doctor who supported vaccinations, mask wearing, and other methods of reducing or preventing the spread of Covid 19, and replaced him with a doctor who said the vaccines were fake, and called the injections “Needle rape!”
This is Idaho, where doctors and hospitals are now treating only those patients who appear to have a chance to survive — not auto accident victims, or stroke or heart attack, or other serious medical conditions, because they are so overloaded with Covid cases. There are reports that hospitals on the Washington side of the border are now filling up with patients from Idaho.
Yes, Idaho is a red state. Being a red state apparently blocks all rational thinking about health care, even for children.

If they really want to do something about the surge, then shut down our southern border. We’re being inundated by COVID-infected illegals.

The leading cause of death for LEOs right now is covid.

This could have been done the easy way. Why do the unvaccinated insist on the hard way?

3000 people died from the actions of terrorists on September 11, 2001.
The 7 day average of covid deaths on September 1, 2021 was 1419.
7 X 1419 = 9, 933
The 7 day average of covid deaths on September 16, 2021 was 1969, with over 3400 deaths that day.
7 X 1969 = 13783
Almost all deaths from covid now are among the those not vaccinated.
So tell me, which group of people has killed more Americans: Al Qaeda or Anti-Vaxxers?
