Do they think Idaho is just a made up place? Yes, Yes, Yes, and Probably, I guess? There is no rational way we can fix this problem at this point, the people we need to convince have rejected rationality entirely. Even vaccine mandates aren’t going to work, as many of them are willing to lose their jobs rather than get vaccinated. ---

Even vaccine mandates aren’t going to work, as many of them are willing to lose their jobs rather than get vaccinated. But that’s the beauty of the plan. Not only do they get to avoid having to be microchipped and poisoned and get horse worms from the vaccine, but after they lose their job they get to live a life of luxury on that sweet, sweet unemployment money. Live fast, die young, leave a diseased corpse. ---

I hope she spends 2 weeks in ICU on a ventilator, and another 6 months in recovery, hardly able to function. Then gets her insurance denied and goes bankrupt. But I will send her thought and prayers, so it’s all good. ---

> [@Horatius](#): > > There is no rational way we can fix this problem at this point, the people we need to convince have rejected rationality entirely. Even vaccine mandates aren’t going to work, as many of them are willing to lose their jobs rather than get vaccinated. Sure, but that’s part of the point. Without a job, they have no money, and will starve unless they finally give in. And, while I would greatly prefer they choose the latter, they can choose the former and no longer hurt anyone else. ---

Mandates will cause some people to get the vaccine, I’m sure. I know someone who didn’t want the vaccine until she found a boyfriend in Canada and needed to travel there. There are probably still people begrudgingly willing to get the vaccine, it’s just that nothing in there personal lives has really ‘pushed’ them into it, other than whatever news they might take in. Some need to see loved ones die. So many people are willing to die or ruin their lives for free’dumb. I don’t understand it. ---

Smerconish on CNN this morning quoted Sean Penn’s great fix for bogus objections on religious grounds. Penn said check to see if a parent’s children ever got a measles vaccine. If so, claims of religious objection fly right out the window. ---
