I don't know why this is such a strong sentiment among first responders, but it is. Of course these guys and gals are the ones that run towards what everyone else runs from. I was a volunteer firefighter for 30+ years, so I have some insight to their mindset. To enter a burning structure with temperatures over 400 on the floor, and 1500 at the ceiling with zero visibility tests one metal.

Due to my years as a volunteer firefighter, plus my daughter, and now both of my grandsons are full-time firefighter/EMTs. They have seen many COVID patients in bad shape as part of their job. Yet there is a mindset in the firehouse which have some of the lowest vaccination rates of any group.

I offered $1,000 cash to each as an incentive, and both turned it down.

The oldest grandson (20) is also on the county wide USAR team, and is a swift water rescue technician. This is a team of about 30 people from departments across the county. They were very active during the flooding from Fred a couple of weeks ago.

Yesterday, departments from multiple counties attended the funeral of a member of that USAR team that died of COVID. He was a 28-year-old firefighter/EMT, with a baby on the way.

This past weekend the oldest stopped by the house to borrow something, and it was obvious he was upset about the death of a fellow team member, and told us he had just received the first dose of the COVID vaccine. And told us to tell no one. Only we and his mother know.
Well in the video she said they thought it was all political and they were young enough and strong enough to survive.
WTF the rest of the world doesn't care about US politics the rest of the world of all regimes took steps, the virus doesn't care about politics or religion, ,

Like desy said, it's stupidity politics/tribalism. There are plenty of conservative types in police/fire and the military. Social media and cable TV have really tweaked their brains to believe that not wearing a mask and not getting vaccinated is a form of protesting liberal government rule. Go figure...

Glad to hear your older wisened up.

Menticide is working way to well thanks to modern social media and ancient tribalism forming a 1-2 punch combo. This mass psychosis is heading for critical mass.

If you take invermectin, I'm telling you, while jumping up and down really hard, it will bind to the spike protein and fucking destroy covid. It will hurt your body, so you then take hydrochloroquine to help compensate for those side effects. Then for those side effects, you go down to Mar A Lago where Trump will inject bleach and ultra violet light into your anus, and it will fix you right up folks!

I heard donkey semen works great against COVID. It's best if you hand feed the donkey ivectermin for 7 days straight. Also, the semen has to be as fresh as possible. Suck it from the source, so it doesn't touch oxygen. Oxygen reduces the effectiveness.

I heard that hospital are turning away gunshot victims because of all the ivermectin overdoses. I also heard that Donald Trump now only believes in lockdowns, vaccinations, and masks.

If you are going to waste oxygen with every breath, at least be even slightly humorous.

It is kinda interesting to watch these little pump-and-dump schemes on pharma stocks being orchestrated throughout COVID.

Soooo so very strange that people would fear and refuse the proven covid vaccines yet I know many deniers who claim they take stuff like herbs and echinacea to protect them from covid where they have no idea how those products are made, where exactly those products come from, who exactly it is manufacturing what they ingest, or if it might eventually kill them? They trust and believe in stuff that they really know nothing about, yet when it comes to the proven vaccines.... OH THAT'S THE GOVERNMENT TRYING TO POISON PEOPLE.

And the same goes for the conspiracy theories. My Q-niece sends me tons of video posted on the bitchute site. Video's by strangers (to her) and oddly enough all the narrators in those bitchute videos have British accents, and she eats it up like it was written biblical scripture. She has no idea who there people are in the videos, who are making the videos, or where from they get the baloney spewed in the videos, yet on something my niece can see and touch (in a sense) like president Biden or Dr Fauci or Nancy Pelosi, she refuses to believe they are real. She believes they are robots, humanoids, and creations of Hollywood CGI effects. These people are truly ill in so many ways. Back in the 1950's they would have been immediately institutionalized for believing and acting as they do. The good ole loony bin.

PS. My niece actually sent me a video from bitchute where the eyes of Joe Biden were analyzed thus the video claiming that Joe Biden was not human. Biden's eyes were fake so they claimed, and in the video close-ups of Biden's eyes were actually compared to the eyes of robot Joanna Eberhart (Katharine Ross) in the 1975 movie Stepford Wives. The logic? If Hollywood can create a robotic housewife living in Stepford then Hollywood can certainly create a robotic US president. God save Tom Hanks....

No offense, but your niece needs professional help.

A Judge that denies the pandemic is on trial for failing to comply with health measures and was in a court hearing yesterday ... and this is what happened just outside the court room, before going in, and in the court room too (google translated).

He risks being removed from the magistracy.

Despite the success with Portugal's vaccination efforts, we too have lunatics like this one ...

Unfortunately this is happening in a lot of families. The normal members are scratching their heads over how/why some of their relatives believe in all this qanon, antivaxx and other craziness. These relatives are listening to social media and right wing news and choosing to believe them and not watching/reading regular news. Trump and some of the idiot repubs brought this craziness to light.

Imo, the headline is wrong because protecting children is also protecting the economy.

That's where the conservatives have been all wrong, it's not either or. You have to do one to do the other.

They should have quit wasting their time fighting about mandates and if the virus is real or not, and rather focused on putting in effective mitigations (eg hvac, procedures, then ppe) to keep schools safe and children safe.

Safe children ensures continued learning and development, but also safety at home, so working parents can work, and not have to take kids out of school for quarantine or for fear.

Keeping parents able to work keeps the economy staffed, and safe kids limits spread, which also keeps the economy going.

Conservatives have oddly chosen to do neither.

This happened to my cousin. Completely baked on Facebook, trump and qanon bullshit.
Spouts it off anytime anyone gives him a chance to speak, even though no one wants to hear the bullshit.

Result has been much of the family not talking to him any more as he has turned into an obnoxious asshole (who also doesn't wear masks or vaccinate, and is asking to get COVID.)

In the 50's when Polio was effecting mostly children, parents, schools, etc., pulled out all stops to protect the children. A republican president was in office when the vaccine was released and was an advocate for getting all children vaccinated.

Today, let's just throw the children under the bus... because freedumb

Thats been proven false.
that particular story was not true, but there have been cases where people died because they couldn't get a bed fast enough. I saw two reports. One posted here and one in my news feed. And those are just the ones that got reported.

There is absolutely no doubt that people who do not have Covid but needed a hospital have not gotten care or gotten substandard care in hospitals stretched to the max.

People like brandonbull don't give a shit about those people because it might make a republican governor look bad

Florida politician who called Covid a hoax and various other conspiracy theories, fighting Covid in the hospital. Fucking waste of hospital resources to fight a fake virus. The guy should have stayed home with thoughts and prayers



Just how many of these types have there been, now? It's hard to know how to feel about these cases. They deserve medical care as everyone else does, just by virtue of being human beings. And gloating is morally questionable. Yet I have to confess I have a sneaking underlying thought that there's a kind of rough justice in the spreaders of misinformation being hoist on their own petard.

Needs a dedicated thread for "conservative anti-vaxxers (whether politicians or media people) who end up hospitalised or dead with COVID".
