Just Let the Fucking Morons Die Already.

 Time for a pandemic check in, y'all! 

Surely with effective vaccines available to all, the worst of this damn COVID-19 is surely behind us, right?

Well, not so fast. 

COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. have climbed to an average of more than 1,900 a day for the first time since early March.

Hospitals are overwhelmed with ICU beds maxed out and health care workers physically worn out and emotionally demoralized. 

And take a look at this nugget of news: In 2020, more people died in Alabama than were born in the state. Alabama is shrinking as the dying outnumber new lives being born. All this happening as Alabama's Republican leaders still oppose mask and vaccine mandates. 

And the key demographic driving this death march to oblivion?

The unvaccinated.

71 million Americans have elected not to get the vaccine. 

Who are these people not getting the vaccine? 

Well, I call them "fucking morons". 

The press resorts to a far gentler assessment, calling such people “vaccine hesitant,” “vaccine-reluctant,” or “vaccine skeptics.”

Eric Boehlert  takes issue with such descriptors which suggests someone is making some kind of thoughtfully considered assessment of vaccines and deciding that, eh, it's not for them.

As Eric Boehlert says, these same people were not hesitant, reluctant or skeptical of vaccines "until a Democratic president urged them to take the COVID inoculation."   

As I wrote on Monday, September 13, 2021,  

Trust me, if their lord and master Donald Trump had issued a mandate for vaccinations for all federal employees, these same Republicans would be falling all over themselves praising him for his bold and forceful leadership. 

But instead it's a Democrat who has issued a mandate for vaccinations for all federal employees so these Republicans are falling all over themselves to show who can be the toughest in fighting this threat. 

In short, these 71 million unvaccinated Americans are brainwashed cannon fodder in the Republican Party's own Game of Thrones to undermine the Democratic Party at every turn, even to the point of jeopardizing the very lives of their own base of supporters. 

Get a load of this twisted logic (aka, "bullshit) from  John Nolte writing for the right wing site Breitbart.  

GOAL: Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi and Dr. Anthony Fauci want conservatives to NOT get vaccinated and die.

How to accomplish this goal? By having  Biden, Pelosi and Dr. Fauci actually plead for everyone to get vaccinated. 

Here's John Nolte bringing this nonsense in for a landing:  

“The push for mandates is another ploy to get us to dig in and not do what’s best for ourselves because no one wants to feel like they’re caving to a mandate."  

Try to keep up: Republicans won't get the vaccine because Democrats are telling them to.  

If it weren't for the fact that unvaccinated Americans pose a risk to the rest of us doing our level best to keep each other safe, I'd say, fine, don't get the vaccine. 

Just let the fucking morons die already.

As they lie moldering in the graves, they at least stuck to ol' Joe Biden, didn't they?
