Nothing says “I respect the liberties generations of servicemen and women fought and died for” like demanding that people conform and obey without complaint or dissent.

What do you think the odds are that that moron had covid in January? He had some unknown respiratory infection and back calculated that it was covid. Were they even testing for it in January? The first US case was a Washington State resident who returned from Wuhan, China on January 15 who was diagnosed on January 21st.

The logic  
escapes me.

Last year, this guy came up and punched me in the face. Everyone told me he might do that, and that I should step back and put my hands up. But I figured ‘fuck that’.

But surely, he cannot walk up and punch me a second time!

Ronny Jackson, once again reminding us that he’s the Rudy Giuliani of the medical profession:

> **[Physician mocked for glowing review of Trump’s health claims Biden mentally...](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/biden-trump-physician-white-house-b1889480.html)**

Jackson thinks Biden is mentally deteriorating and will resign. Because we all know how objective, competent and fact-based his medical opinions are.

[I suspect](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/new-stupid-republican-idea-of-the-day/911140/6464) that the “logic” is along the lines of “I stupidly assumed that my undiagnosed January 2020 illness was COVID and would give me natural immunity so I didn’t get vaccinated, and now I better talk about a Chinese conspiracy to distract from my irresponsible stupidity”.

Restaurant has a sign on the entrance warning you that you have to have proof that you have not been vaccinated in order to come in.

Proof. That you have not been vaccinated. How does that … oh, nevermind.

(Sac Bee is not a satire pub, is it?)

Well, to be fair, the article quotes an anonymous employee as saying their not actually going to check vaccine status, and the quotes from the owner make it pretty clear they’re trolling and the whole thing is just a performance piece, not a real policy. Not that that’s really _better_…

Not sure how the “never complying with any restrictions” thing is working out for them legally, but if we did end up with all the anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers self-segregating into defiantly non-compliant establishments that sensible people could then stay the hell away from, that at least would be a step forward.

Yea, I’d be really keen to go eat at an establishment that does not want to follow any health department rules.

“Don’t tell me my staff have to wash their hands after taking a dump! It’s their God-given right to put their shit encrusted hands into your food!”

“Rats? Sure we’ve got em. Lots. They’re regularly running across the salad bar. But ain’t no commie leftie health inspector nazi gonna tell me what to do. So we’re not getting rid of them.”

This concept of freedumb has been the GOP Way even before the rise of Wussolini:

And don’t even get me started on this shit about keeping hot foods hot and cold foods cold! Do you know how much that racks up my cost of doing business? Did Adam and Eve have refrigerators and hot plates in the Garden of Eden? Well, did they?

I fully support restaurants and other businesses allowing unvaccinated people to come into their facilities without masks or taking other precautions.

I do however object to letting them leave.

Do we have any Dopers here willing to listen to his symposium and see all his “evidence”, so the rest of us don’t have to?
