The article does close with the curious statement: > They hаve since morphed into аnti-COVID-19 rаllies. Which…sounds like something I would support? Is that like the March of Dimes? ---

Ah, that’s because it’s an automated lift of an article from Newsweek with some changes thrown in to disguise it. Here’s the original article: > **[Canadian Trucker Hasn't Seen 9-Year-Old Daughter Since Vaccine Mandate](https://www.newsweek.com/canadian-trucker-hasnt-seen-9-year-old-daughter-since-vaccine-mandate-1679996)** > > Jake Klassen's daughter is receiving palliative care at St. Amant a care residence in Winnipeg, and he can't visit unless he's vaccinated, which he isn't. ---

Also, it’s apparently not even true: [https://stamant.ca/blog/news/statement-regarding-visitations-at-st-amant/](https://stamant.ca/blog/news/statement-regarding-visitations-at-st-amant/) St. Amant is an Autism care facility. It doesn’t seem likely they would provide “palliative care”. > At St.Amant, Designated Family Caregivers, who are unvaccinated are welcome to visit within the visitation pod (which is away from all other residents). ---

You need a license to catch fish, but not to have a child. Mommy and Daddy are afraid of needles, and their daughter is stuck in a hospital. Might be the best thing for the child I suppose. ---

> [@Elmer\_J.Fudd](#): > > California and my county lifted the indoor mask mandate on the vaccinated today. I had to got to Costco this morning and I and most of the other customers and employees were wearing masks anyway. This **frantic older guy was running up to anybody wearing a mask** and saying, “You don’t have to wear a mask anymore!” As if the mandate was the only reason any sane person would still wear one. Textbook cognitive dissonance: the man had believed, without evidence and likely with near-religious fervor, that NO ONE would wear a mask voluntarily. He’d clung to the fantasy that anyone wearing a mask was a timid soul knuckling under to a Tyrannical Government. So now he sees people wearing masks—_and can’t process the information that they are wearing them voluntarily_. Worse, the implication inevitably arises that they had been wearing them voluntarily _all along_—a complete contradiction to the belief he’d been clinging to for months (that no one wears masks voluntarily). “Frantic” doesn’t even begin to describe his mental state, no doubt. I hope he was able to collect himself enough to get home. ---
