I had a different couple of buttons intended for today’s post, but the COVID surge in Texas has changed some plans that went along with those buttons. Hoping for a later date on that.
Stay well and safe.

I’m assuming that all those republican elected morons slinging muck at masks, vaccines and us-not-them, well, they must also be vaccinated already and are just trying to cull their population down. They haven’t changed nor learned anything about humans since AIDS. It all feels like history repeating. Then one day, a republican in the festering Deep South starts telling their followers to get vaccinated, not because it’s right to fight off that virus and protect their loved ones (if they have any), but because it happened to themselves. Two of the most venomous radio brainwashers died and there was much rejoicing, but one of those faceless morons who caught the virus at least finally admitted the virus exists and vaccination is the best way out that science can provide us. It was too late for him though.
According to the D variant of covid-19 map from the CDC, nearly the entire United States are Red.
The way all this evokes AIDS/HIV in the 1980s and ’90s is a terrible part of this pandemic.
I genuinely don’t wish anyone death, especially the current targets of the Delta surge, but I’m baffled why the governors of Texas and Florida, in particular, are a-okay with encouraging their voters (and their children) to court death. To be that craven in hope of staying in office is beyond anything I can understand.
The school districts in the major cities are now defying Texas Governor Abbott’s anti-mask mandate. They are choosing the health of children over his threats of withholding state money from their schools. Our hospitals are at capacity. Unvaccinated adults and children are dying. Taking the vaccine out of it, imagine refusing to wear or forbidding someone to ask that we wear a scrap of fabric that could save lives. It’s madness.
If a vaccine for AIDS came as quickly as the current ones for covid-19, I think EVERYONE would go for it, no question.
And it’s because of what science learned from previous viruses that they were able to develop this vaccine so “quickly.” They had a head start. Someone pointed out that we have to stop using the word “misinformation,” because what people are actually pushing is disinformation. While it kills their families.
