    The level of stupidity displayed by many people is truly amazing.

    I notice that in testimony before the Ohio Legislature, both a “supposed” Doctor AND a nurse testified that one of the results of being vaccinated against the Covid19 virus was the Magnetization of the body!

    Seriously?

    And the legislators allowed these people to leave and wander freely among their constituents afterwards?

    Both individuals were demonstratively dangerous wackos which should NOT be allowed to wander freely amongst their fellow humans – their “education” obviously stopped somewhere in the “watching cartoons on TV” stage!

    People – what you see in a “Tom & Jerry” cartoon isn’t real and CAN’T happen in real life – and, if you believe it CAN, then you are a danger to yourselves and others, and you need HELP!

    It is IMPOSSIBLE for the human body to become “magnetized” – do I need to define “impossible”?

    LOL, they even think that non-magnetic items (like aluminum keys) are magnetically sticking to them…

    The republican Senators and Congress people are highly attracted to that magnet.

    The Big Lie on The Wire

    (An Encore Presentation)

    Watched The Wire again which is the HBO series that aired years ago. There was a scene in Season 5 (aired 2008) where the two detectives (Norris and “Bunk”) successfully tricked a suspect into believing that a photocopier was a lie detector.

    …Ed Norris says to Bunk that “Americans are a stupid people by and large; we pretty much believe whatever we’re told”. Bunk responds “The bigger the lie, the more they believe”.

    These were our signposts according to the reviewers at that time who commented on the writing. I doubt that they (writers and reviewers) knew how big the lie could be. A demented sociopath used it because he was able to get away with doing it for decades.

    Now at his rally he talks about the “biggest crime in American history” and says: The Big Lie on The Wire

    The camera then shifts to the Yeehaws holding a large Trump Won banner.

    We all know that the vaccine rollout in the US has slowed a good bit, with shots per day dropping from a peak of 3 million in April to a little more than one million. This, with a good 20 to 30% eligible still not having had it.

    On a lark, I decided to look the statistics by state, and see if there was a correlation between the uptake and the “color” of the state. Here’s the source of the data:

    1) Vaccinations per capita (2 shot equivalent): https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/covid-vaccine-tracker-global-distribution/

    2) Republication over democratic vote margin in the 2018 elections.

    The correlation is uncanny. A linear regression showed a strong dependency with an R-squared of 0.69. The variation was so strong that it would predict that a state of all Democrats would be at 82% while one of all Republicans would be at 18%, with the country wide average being 48%.

    Now this is a correlation, not causation, but at the very least there is a common set of root causes for both variables.

    Let us not forget internet stupidity. Because one has to actually go looking for this sort of guff and in the effort to find poop that aligns with your thoughts (?), one must troll through heaps of stuff that disproves one’s thoughts. The internet is not to blame for poor education and high levels of dumb.

    The really scary part of the testimony is that not one of the legislators objected to what was being said.

    Illogical – the magnet would have to be “truth” since opposites attract.

    Maybe the trouble begins in school. We should teach them to think for themselves before we teach them to read and write. Just an idea.

    MAGA-netic appeal? Only if they are all Iron Man or the rusty nuts and bolts between their ears aren’t protected by the colanders on their heads!
