You are not pro-life if you are anti-vaccine. IMO.

I hope his car has a bleach-injected engine!

That’s going to be a LONG drive. Right here in Oregon, it can take several hours to get from one well vaccinated place to the next.

Fortunately I haven’t left my area since 1996.

One guy was hesitant about getting the shot and the after affects. Now he needs a double lung transplant! But hey, no sore arm, right?

I would be happy to let Darwin take over except for three things:

1. Hospitals are now being overrun again. This puts a strain on the emergency services needed by other people and it drives up the cost of medicine. This is a reason even ReTrumpliKKKlans should be able to understand since it does NOT involve science.

2. It puts the unvaccinated at risk. The entire population of the United States under 12 years of age (our children) fall into this category. This argument won’t work with Rethugliclans since they don’t care about children (as evidenced by their lack of support for programs that benefit children). Putting children at risk is part of their personal freedom. So what if the infect other people’s children, those people shouldn’t have had those children in the first place if they weren’t prepared for the consequences. It’s the parent’s fault that their children may die.

Can someone explain to me why so many comics, humor and editorial, feature flying cars? And when do I get mine?

If the medical profession had the same ethics as Republicans.

Patient: I think I have Covid

Doctor: Have you been vaccinated?

Patient: No.

Doctor: We can’t admit you. It would make our “numbers” look bad. Go away and die somewhere else.

A question that will be asked more often in times to come.

Don’t even think of heading South.

Welcome to Missouri.

Don’t forget to mask up when in those areas.

Wrong background.. those are Northern trees and should be replaced with cactus, scrub or Southern pine.

A report on the morning news said a young man in his 20s with the Covid delta variant has received a double-lung transplant and has been hospitalized for months. He was the only one in his family who did not receive a vaccination because, according to his father, he wanted to wait and see what possible side-effects might occur. Sadly, now he knows. . . .

These are the types of folks I see driving down the road wearing a mask when they’re in a car by themselves.

At this point, COVID is pretty much taking out just one group of voters.

Set phasers on “kill”.

Darwinism at its best.

We’ve already cancelled vacation plans in TN – those people are way too crazy…

Not only that, they have to watch out for the intense smoke from all those forest fires caused by climate problems that Republicans think are imaginary.

My cousins are heading to the Ozarks today. I told them, don’t bring any Delta variant back with ya.

“Living things tend to be complex and highly organized. They have the ability to take in energy from the environment and transform it for growth and reproduction. Organisms tend toward homeostasis: an equilibrium of parameters that define their internal environment. Living creatures respond, and their stimulation fosters a reaction-like motion, recoil, and in advanced forms, learning. Life is reproductive, as some kind of copying is needed for evolution to take hold through a population’s mutation and natural selection. To grow and develop, living creatures need foremost to be consumers, since growth includes changing biomass, creating new individuals, and the shedding of waste.

“To qualify as a living thing, a creature must meet some variation for all these criteria. For example, a crystal can grow, reach equilibrium, and even move in response to stimuli, but lacks what commonly would be thought of as a biological nervous system.

“Terrestrially, life is classified among four biological families: archaea, bacteria, eukaryotes, and viruses.

“Archaea are the recently defined branch that often survives in extreme environments as single cells, and they share traits with both bacteria and eukaryotes.

“Bacteria, often referred to as prokaryotes, generally lack chlorophyll (except for cyanobacteria) and a cell nucleus, and they ferment and respire to produce energy.

“The eukaryotes include all organisms whose cells have a nucleus – so humans and all other animals are eukaryotes, as are plants, protists, and fungi.

“The final grouping includes the viruses, which don’t have cells at all, but fragments of DNA and RNA that parasitically reproduce when they infect a compatible host cell. These classifications clarify the grand puzzle of existing life, but do little to provide a final definition.”

It’s a dangerous place.

Some of the Residents are under the delusion that they are “Mad Max”.

You are speaking of people who have never realized the “age of reason”.

“And set the AC to recycle.”

down here you’ll have to stop and get some gas before you git thru all of it.

And, pray that 20 gallons of hand Sanitizer is enough.
