NONSENSE: Embrace it no more

I would like to thank many (not all) of the citizens of Idaho for their unwavering embrace of the abject nonsense they have come to believe concerning the seriousness, or even the existence, of COVID-19.

They have supported, repeated and accepted without a second thought the inane, baseless and malicious utterances of Donald Trump, Heather Scott, Fox news, OAN and Newsmax concerning the pandemic. Idaho hospitals statewide are now in crisis mode.

The “Obama Death Panels” they were ranting about in 2009 have now become reality, as doctors must now decide who lives and who dies.

Those who have refuted the science, the statistics, the expertise worldwide, have brought this upon every citizen of Idaho, and I resent it.

Every person in this state had to be vaccinated to attend public schools. That’s the law. There was no problem with that, was there? Not until some clown on Facebook or in the White House or in the Idaho Senate told us it was all a lie.

Never mind what doctors say, they’re all part of the scam.

Never mind 670,000 dead, that number is a lie.

Never mind medical personnel who have died or simply can’t go on. It’s all a lie, isn’t it?

NOTHING will ever convince the extreme right that they are wrong, until they have a tube shoved down their throat. I hope they are proud of what they have done.
