Miles and Miles of Editorial Dishonesty: DO IT FOR THE CHILDREN! (The Covid version)

Headline:

TN pediatric clinics overwhelmed with patients as Delta variant continues to affect kids | WZTV (fox17.com)

The image that comes to our minds is rows of beds filled with intubated little children in their last throes because of the virus. And then you read the article:

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — Some local pediatricians are overwhelmed with the number of appointment requests they’re getting amid the surge in COVID-19 child cases.

We went from an overwhelmed medical system to some docs having a bunch of appointments probably interfering with their golf game or banging the receptionist.

This is why people do not trust the Media. They DEMAND we trust the science, but the first thing they do is give us bullshit information parsed to create panic. The people affected by this panic then go on to “overwhelm” a couple of doctor’s offices with appointments which in turn make the news and is touted as proof we need more restrictions. They are willing participants in the Covid Theater of Horror because it sells and they are all for the ratings and clickbait.

And this is also why there is a “healthy” Anti Vax and Covid Denier culture. So many lies and contradictions go to fuel paranoia which goes to make some people take decisions that may not be the best.

Covid is turning out to be the biggest political epidemic game, much bigger than AIDS ever was. Hell, it has improved so much more that we have de facto dictatorships in Australia and New Zealand and more than one folk in government here wishing the could do the same to us here.

I always ask “If your cause is righteous, why lie?” and these sumbitches finally answered:

“Because it gives us unlimited power.”

The Sheriff warns that 911 is not working right, very spotty and then goes on to warn the criminal element that residents may take matters in their own hands which means they may need to call 911 for help.

And that is how’s done.

The carrot rather than the stick: Apparently a revolutionary concept.

NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) – The owner of several well-known Nashville honky tonks is offering an incentive for any of his employees who get vaccinated.

Steve Smith, owner of Tootsie’s, Honky Tonk Central and The Diner, confirmed to News4 on Tuesday he will pay his employees $500 to get the COVID-19 vaccine.

Smith says he wants to make sure his staff is safe and protected while interacting with tourists, and doesn’t want them to have to miss work if they contract the virus.

Tootsies Orchid Lounge was the first bar I went to when I moved to Nashville back when the world was in 525 lines and downtown Nashville was not a tourist trap and sometimes not a nice place to be. Back then it was still a place for cheap beer and where the wishful artists and fans come for a chance to meet old school stars taking a break from the Grand Ole Opry.

It is good to see that at least somebody is trying to use positive reinforcement rather than being a petty tyrant about vaccines.

 

Fantasy Island 2021

In case you haven’t heard, it is back with new people.

I will freely admit I was expecting a train wreck, but to the credit of the producers, they have done a good job not deviating from the main idea of the old show too much or injecting wokeness. The principle of the island providing what you need rather than what you want remains as the backbone of the show’s script.

Roselyn Sanchez play Elena Roarke and she is the grandniece of our esteemed Mr. Roarke played by Ricardo Montalban. The dress code remains the eternal white and while by the time of the old series Mr. Roarke had embraced and accepted fully what the island demands, Ms. Roarke still has some lingering issues she is dealing with about the Island picking her as caretaker.

It is not a life-changing series, but surely a good one for a nice bowl of popcorn and sharing with your significant other.

 

John Stossel on COVID Vaccines.

I have no doubt that the issues we’ve been having is directly attributable to the government’s contradictory and ever changing doctrine on the Kung-Flu remediation which has led to some to overblow the fears of people on both sides of the vaccine issue.

And don’t forget that there are influencer assholes on the side of “freedom” that are there just for the money and not for a true care of individual rights. There be Dudley Browns everywhere.
