Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

Everybody saw this coming.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

“What makes me the maddest,” one of my doctor friends told me, “is that these people will reject science right until the second they need everything I have to keep them alive, and then they feel that they can come to our door and be entitled to that help and that hard work.”

Kaiser Family Foundation poll showed top 3 reasons holdouts get vaccinated:
1. Concluded nobody is dying/sick from vax
2. Persuaded by family/friends
3. Required for things they need/want to do

We haven’t been making life to onerous enough for those who only respond to #3. https://t.co/XKjWo5OptN

New Rule: If you still reject vaccines and masks and science and doctors recommendations and all the warnings, don't go to the hospital when you get COVID-19. Have the courage of your convictions. See it all the way through.

i *am* one of those people who is extremely angry, and i'm not really sure what there is to worry about. the worst thing i realistically want to do to unvaccinated people is force them to get vaccinated in order to go to work. there's a big asymmetry between the two groups. https://t.co/0R9H8X47u8

I don't think it requires 10,000 words. Refusing to get vaccinated has become, for a subset of the American right, a way to signal political allegiance. And for some (not most) Latter-day Saints, that political allegiance is more important than following the church's counsel. https://t.co/TjctWvHcx6

When the school bus flips over, we're supposed to tell all those kids that they'll just have to die because the grownups wouldn't get vaccinated? Nope.

— Fred Will Not Go To Space Today (@LesserFrederick) August 14, 2021

This shouldn't be surprising! A solid majority of Americans have been vaccinated or plan to get vaccinated. Why would they turn around and oppose a mandate for, say, their kid's teacher to get the shot that *they themselves* got? https://t.co/g9kzTGrkmg

    I heard an interview with a doctor somewhere in the Old Confederacy saying they’re turning away people with chronic conditions to treat the un-vaxxed, that’s ass-backwards

    also, the big anti-vax rally in LA included a segment of Interperative Dance of Feelings to whatever the hell the successor to Lee Greenwood is. I heard the lyric “there’s a statue comin’ down in a town near you”

    @Jim, Foolish Literalist: First bit of the LA Times story:

    An anti-vaccine rally at Los Angeles City Hall turned violent Saturday, with one person stabbed and a reporter saying he was assaulted, according to police and protesters on the scene.

    Could you imagine having to explain that to someone who just woke up after being in a coma for the last couple of years?

    I think a huge reason for the dip in vaccination rates is that too many saw no consequences for refusing vaccines, and being noisy about it increased their status in their MAGA tribe. And it became a talisman.

    Once vaccines are required, with real consequences for not having it, more people will get them and most of the holdouts will be the hard-core types who cannot be reached as long as it remains a political totem.

    And we’re seeing daily vaccination rates rise as people realize – yes, there are actual consequences in not being vaccinated. And in a few weeks, people see the stark reality that they may lose their job if they don’t get vaccinated. (Remember the big Texas hospital worker protest about not getting vaccinated – they’ll all quit!! Only 25 quit.)

    It’s unfortunate that it’s come to this, but it’s not surprising. And we should continue doing everything we can to make it as easy as possible to get vaccinated and make it difficult for people who are out in their communities to say no.

    Cheers,
    Scott.

    If Delta doesn’t burn itself out soon ER’s will be forced to Triage.  As I understand the protocol the people who are not vaccinated will be made as comfortable as the staff can manage and the vaccinated who are more likely to survive will receive treatment.  The same should be true for children who can’t be vaccinated yet (c’mon CDC!?) but are more likely to live.

     

    There are some immunocompromised who will perish because of the pandemic of right wing rage that is driving this endless cycle of crises.

    If someone has a heart attack or stroke, and there’s no ER capacity or ICU bed, why the fuck should a vaccine denier get to keep the bed because their ass “got there first” via runaway Covid.

    Almost as damn bad is DeSantis humping a $1,500 per dose antibody treatment that is 99% obviated by having had two $15-20 shots given 3-4 weeks apart. Fiscally conservative! Pro life

    I told someone on FB who was whining about feeling “judged ” and “discriminated against” for not getting vaxxed that I was done worrying about the feelings of people who’ve been telling me “fuck your feelings” for the past 5 years. I also told her that things like being charged more for insurance if you aren’t vaxxed are not called “discrimination”, but are actually called “consequences”, and that there is no right not to be criticized for choosing not to be vaxxed. Fuck their tender feelings, I’m done with them. They are such whiners. I wish every one of them had to experience what my mom did in the ER because of their refusal to get vaxxed.

    Today we went to Hildale and Colorado City to take a look at the new big grocery store. It is about an hour away if you use the highways.

    You can use Sheep Bridge it is faster but it will slow you down because it is a dirt road and you might be talking or looking at things.

    Anyway we finally got there.  I was excited to see that new market they have built! It looks really nice from the outside.

    I was afraid to go inside. I asked my companion to go see what is it. I asked her to see if it has scooters for people who can’t walk anymore.

    She said it is nice and the bathrooms are clean. They don’t have scooters.

    So anyway it looked like a thunderstorm was coming and we better get out of here. We would have loved to visit the Hildale City park but the way those clouds were looking,  we save it for another time.

    Anyway, going through that place where they are scraping the land for their investments, there was a dust storm. We couldn’t see shit. It was dangerous and scary.

    After surviving that, we were happy to get off the highway.

    @Dan B:

    They are on it and have been on it for several months now.  The Biden administration is working with COVAX and the African Union to purchase and deliver lots of the vaccine to Africa.   You can follow the progress in Africa (and everywhere else) here. Africa has gotten about 20 million doses (mixed among the three vaccines approved in the USA) so far with more on the way.  More than 110 million have been delivered so far. 550 million have been pledged by the USA worldwide. This dwarfs any other country’s donations.

    To give an example that shows the scope, about 300,000 J&J doses have gone to the Central African Republic, which is a landlocked, very rural, very poor country of about 4.6 million people known for its gorillas. That’s enough vaccine to fully vaccinate 5-10 percent of the population. Nowhere near enough to stop an outbreak, but certainly enough to cover the healthcare work force and quite a few particularly vulnerable folks. It will save hundreds of lives.

    You can see this pattern with many African countries (and Asian countries, and Latin American countries, and Caribbean countries): not enough doses to cover everyone, but a heck of a lot more than a token photo op and enough to protect a non-trivial part of the population. This is a serious operation with a lot of folks working long hours and trying to help as quickly as possible while working with the host countries to ensure that all of their regulations are fulfilled and sovereignty respected (And, I might add, a hell of lot of hard working African public health and diplomatic folks doing the same thing on their end).

    Follow Deputy Sec. State Wendy Sherman’s twitter feed.  As Cheryl Rofer mentioned about eight weeks ago, Sherman seems to be the official relying all of the deliveries on Twitter. Scrolling through her feed relating the week’s deliveries makes my day brighter.

    I am a long time lurker.   This shit has me incandescent with rage.  I work at a large pharmacy company you have heard of (company policy prevents me from saying more) and I have been working on the vaccine in various ways for over a year.  I you got a shot in the US, there is about a 40% chance that my signature is on it somewhere.  We produced a fucking miracle.  Would everything be perfect if these idiots got a shot?  No.  But my friends would be dealing with fewer children in the ICU.   My father wouldn’t be about to lock down (again) in the retirement home.   Maybe my kid wouldn’t wouldn’t be worried about losing her sense of smell.   Maybe the doses of vaccine that I literally had to get my people to stop crying in the lab because of the stress so they could get one more test run and that next batch out the wouldn’t be discarded because they expired before someone was willing to take it.   Maybe my immune comprised mother-in-law could see her grandchildren in person.

They should go have COVID parties were they infect each other and then they can die, or just horribly sick and develop the anti-bodies the hard way and in two months this will be over.

    I personally believe unvaccinated people infected with Corona-19 should be treated in a back corner of the parking lot by the lot manager as best the lot guys can. This will free up the medical staff for patients who are responsible and deserve treatment.

    I’m done with any sympathy for vaccination refusers, who should all be quarantined to  prevent them from spreading their diseases. They lose their freedom to be able to associate in public when they refuse to be responsible to the community!

I sent my parents the article about the Serbian cave hermit who got the vaccine, in hopes that it might shock some sense back into him. At least my parents are refusing to see him at Thanksgiving….
