Covid-19 and its Variants

   As the contards, anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers double their efforts to continue the pandemic indefinitely, new variants of the disease are coming to light. Here's a video that discusses the new Mu variant of Covid-19.

  The video indicates that there are currently 5 variants of Covid-19 that have been identified. Of those, only the original strain and the Delta variant have caused major problems. That doesn't mean the other variants aren't a threat. They just haven't spread far enough to warrant active concern. The main question regarding these new variants is whether or not the vaccine is effective against them. As I recall, the Delta variant has infected people that got vaccinated. On the plus side, those that did get infected were protected to some degree and thus didn't suffer any major complications.

  Mask mandates have been reinstated in many places. Masks are once again required where I work. This is because the Delta variant is still raging around the planet. And why is it still raging? Well, according to one study, it's largely due to Trump supporters. This mob of virulently anti-vax and anti-mask sycophantic morons is the reason we still have to wear masks and regulate our activity. These people are so far gone that not even their orange haired, narcissistic leader, Trump can convince them to get vaccinated. Here are some more videos.

  There you have it. Trump fucks are keeping Covid-19 alive and mutating. They're the ones taking up valuable space in ICUs across the country. As a result, people are dying from treatable conditions. A Kansas man died from cardiac arrest and a brain seizure because he couldn't get into an ICU.

  If these contard fucks don't want the vaccine, here's my solution. Have them sign a legal document stating that they don't want the vaccine but if they should get infected with any Covid-19 variant, hospitals have the right to refuse to let them in and waste valuable resources treating their brain dead asses. The form would be similar to the Against Medical Advice form used in hospitals today. This form would keep hospitals from getting sued when they turn the dipshits away. If they complain, simply tell them that that's the price they agreed to pay when they signed the form. Then they can go home and suffer and die away from those that had the intelligence to get vaccinated when they had the chance. Is it a perfect solution? No. Having these assholes running around possibly spreading Covid will only make things worse. Of course they're doing that now. The contards will whine about how their rights are being violated even though they signed the form that forfeited those rights. Others will state that such treatment is cruel and vindictive. I agree. That's the point. They need to have their stupidity shoved straight down their collective throats. If that means some of them suffer and die as a result, so be it.

Natural Selection, Covid-19 and the Darwin Awards

   It seems that natural selection is weeding out some of the more virulent anti-vax and anti-mask idiots polluting our airwaves. These smug, self centered, narcissistic and entitled fuckwads arrogantly think of themselves as "freedom fighters". They don't care that their asinine behavior is putting people at risk and leading to more variations of Covid-19. And as we get more variations, those of us that had the foresight to get vaccinated as soon as possible can find ourselves vulnerable to one or more of these variants. It's possible that I caught the Delta variant a while back when I thought I'd caught a cold.

  These self righteous pricks are extending the pandemic and putting people in danger. And to make matters worse, the contard propaganda monkeys at Fox are downplaying getting the vaccine while pushing drugs like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. The first one is used to treat parasitic infestations while the other is primarily used to treat malaria. Neither of these drugs have been proven effective against Covid-19. The study that some have sighted as evidence of ivermectin's effectiveness against Covid-19 may have been founded on fabricated data, plagiarism and ethical breaches. These morons won't follow the advice of people with actual medical credentials but they'll accept the verbal diarrhea spewing from the orifices of ignorant shitheads on TV and the internet.

  But enough of that. Let's look at some videos of some of the latest recipients of the Darwin Award. These individuals have pushed vaccine and Covid-19 misinformation and paid a karmically appropriate price for it. They all got Covid-19 and died.

  I feel absolutely no sympathy of these cocksuckers. I truly hope they suffered as they lay dying in their hospital beds. These people took up valuable hospital beds and resources. They've spread the disease to who knows how many people while they were strutting around thinking that they were superior to those of us that wear masks and got vaccinated. While some of them saw the light as they lay in the hospital, it was a case of too little, too late. The damage has been done. It's times like these that this old atheist wishes there was a Hell just so these stupid bastards' suffering could continue for eternity.

The Delta Variant, the GOP, Propaganda Monkeys and their Contard Base

   For the longest time now, the GOP and the right wing propaganda media outlets have been convincing their base that Covid-19 is a hoax and discouraging people from getting vaccinated. Now it's coming back to bite them in the ass. The Delta variant of the coronavirus has been running rampant around the world. Cases in the U.S. have been on the rise primarily in states with low vaccination rates. And most of those states are, you guessed it, Republican leaning states. Now they're freaking out because the Delta variant is killing their base. This cartoon sums it up succinctly. Trump supporters are dying because of the disinformation being spread. Check out this article and this one. It's difficult for me to feel sympathy for people this fucking stupid. 

  Fox News has been displaying split personality disorder recently regarding vaccinations. Hypocritical motherfucker, Sean Hannity, is now calling for people to get vaccinated. Here's the video.

  This is the same Sean Hannity that downplayed the severity of Covid-19 in the early stages of the pandemic.

  Despite the sudden turnaround of Fox hosts like Hannity and Steve Doocy regarding the vaccine, other hosts like Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham have railed against it. They've railed against so called 'Vaccine Passports' even though Fox News has instituted a strict Covid-19 policy involving a vaccine passport. I'm not sure what the endgame is for these people and other right wing media outlets like Newsmax and OAN. The more they convince their base not to get vaccinated, the more their base will suffer the effects of this disease. The mixed messages they're sending is only going to add to the problem. So why are they doing it? Ratings according to an ex-Fox reporter. Here's the video.

  For Fox News, it all boils down to money.
