Hmm..... I wonder why the Resident Screaming Mimi here. who is continuously ranting and raving about what he has always characterized as the so-called "Republican Super Spreader" events in the past, is mute here on the Democrat losers from Texas who rented a private Jet, had it flown to Washington D.C, and neglected to wear masks on the plane (as any other citizens are required to do), when they did their little show for the press, claiming they were willing to suffer "for the cause"!  

Why is it that the resident Screaming Mimi hasn't bothered to chime in on their utterly Irresponsible actions?

Could it be that he plays favorites, making excuses for his leftist Democrat politicians, while acting like a nutjob about any large events that involve Conservative Republicans, those Repubs that he calls Super Spreaders?

Could it be that he's really nothing more than a political gasbag for the Marxist left, who refers to Conservative Republican voters for Trump as "Trumptoids" because he's been brainwashed by his politicians, and really believes the BS that he spews? 

Yes, I think that statement above could be true.

From the article:      
    Late Monday night a photo began circulating among California parents opposed to mask mandates in schools or at youth camps/sporting activities allegedly showing Gov. Gavin Newsom’s oldest son, Hunter, participating in an indoor summer basketball camp – maskless – that very morning. The photo was part of a social media posting by the camp’s operator, touting the successful first day of the 6th week of summer camp.

    Tuesday morning RedState received confirmation from people whose children play youth sports with the Newsom children that the boy in the photo was indeed 10-year-old Hunter Newsom.

    The photo caused an uproar among parents who’ve watched their children struggle academically, physically, and emotionally while being kept from their normal school and sports activities while Newsom’s children attended their expensive private school in-person – and now apparently were able to participate in indoor sports, mask-free. According to California’s public health guidelines, children ages 2 through 11 are required to wear masks indoors while at school and in “other youth settings.”


Yes, he is your TYPICAL leftist Democrat.

Here is some real cocksure recommendations from "Dr" Anthony Fauci.

He is positive that masks work.... er don't work.... er Work. 

Yep, for SURE they work..... er maybe not?

But to all the Conservative Repubs out there who DO question bureaucrats like Anthony Fauci, the next time the Leftist Marxist Democrats here tell try to shame you by telling you that you're killing people and when the Resident Screaming Mimi of the Forum chastises you like you're some sort of child, just link him to that montage of complete insanity, coming from that leftist power hungry bureaucrat above.

It should shut their mouths!  What these clowns truly are, summed up in few words, they are smug, self-righteous virtue signalers.

P.S. Don't take crap from these guys, as they haven't a clue.  Their guess is as good as yours.  

BTW, I do remember early on, that the left here, and at least one of the RINOs here, put up photos of themselves wearing their masks, looking for pats on the back as to how moral they were in wearing their masks, virtue signaling to the rest of us, all the while chastising the rest of us for questioning the authority.

I wonder if any of those virtue signalers is still wearing his mask at the stores and such?

After all, "The Science" IS settled now isn't it.  Masks work!  Oops, I mean Masks don't work

There have been studies that showed that not only did the mask mandate do nothing to curb the spread of the virus, but that cloth masks really don't offer any protection whatsoever.  

There have been numerous studies of course on the subject;

https://thehayride.com/2021/05/new-study-shows-mask-mandates-didnt-work/

Here is another:

https://www.rcreader.com/commentary/masks-dont-work-covid-a-review-of-science-relevant-to-covide-19-social-policy

Here's another study coming out of Denmark, saying masks do nothing and don't work:

https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/do-masks-stop-the-spread-of-covid-19-

Here is the Randomized, Controlled study by Danish Scientists who took 6000 people and tested them.  Their conclusion?  No difference in Non-mask wearers and mask wearers:

https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/do-masks-stop-the-spread-of-covid-19-

From the study article:  

"Around half of those in the trial received 50 disposable surgical face masks, which they were told to change after eight hours of use. After one month, the trial participants were tested using both PCR, antibody and lateral flow tests and compared with the trial participants who did not wear a mask.

In the end, there was no statistically significant difference between those who wore masks and those who did not when it came to being infected by Covid-19. 1.8 per cent of those wearing masks caught Covid, compared to 2.1 per cent of the control group. As a result, it seems that any effect masks have on preventing the spread of the disease in the community is small".

You're free though to argue with the experts.

Now let me just point out that I offered up evidence to support my statement .  You on the other hand have offered up nothing but your mouth.

Is there anything else I can correct you on, or educate you on today?

As for your statement about the highly effective vaccine, I'm not questioning that, however I will say that you yourself apparently "tend to miss all the interesting stories".

Did you miss the story about the "Texas Leftist Democrats who shirked their responsibility to engage in the Democratic system"?

It appears that you may have, so let me educate you further. 

There were 50+ Texas Democrats who decided to NOT engage in Democracy and perform their responsibility that taxpayers PAY them to do.

They chartered a Private Jet at taxpayer expense, flew to Wash. D.C., got hotels in Wash D.C., at taxpayer expense, and then begged for care packages from the same taxpaying Texas citizens, while receiving a monetary per diem EACH of well over $200 per day.

I guess they decided they wanted to Pocket their Per-Diem taxpayer funded expense and have someone else pay their way when they abdicated their responsibility.

Want to know the kicker??

ALL were vaccinated and yet 6 of them Got Covid 19, even after they were vaccinated.

What is your thought on that?  

Can you explain if vaccines work so perfectly?

Umm... no, since you don't read other than headlines.  Those stories linked studies.

Let me link it again and maybe you'll actually read (I doubt it though, since it isn't coming to you from the mouth of Don Lemon  )

From the controlled 6000 person subject, study:

Your problem is that when you only read headlines you miss actual substance.  

Therefore I've highlighted in bold the way I would for an elementary school child.  Perhaps it will sink in then (but not likely).

So apparently you don't read either, you just attack the links, having no idea about the links?

Wow, now that is some REALLY amazing logic.  Attack the message and the messenger.

I suppose I can educate you now, the way I educated your 2 buddies here:

A total of 3030 participants were randomly assigned to the recommendation to wear masks, and 2994 were assigned to control; 4862 completed the study. Infection with SARS-CoV-2 occurred in 42 participants recommended masks (1.8%) and 53 control participants (2.1%). The between-group difference was −0.3 percentage point (95% CI, −1.2 to 0.4 percentage point; P = 0.38) (odds ratio, 0.82 [CI, 0.54 to 1.23]; P = 0.33). Multiple imputation accounting for loss to follow-up yielded similar results. Although the difference observed was not statistically significant, the 95% CIs are compatible with a 46% reduction to a 23% increase in infection.


There, did you learn anything?

Jim

I missed nothing.  

In fact, I had to bring up the Story, because you ignored it, my guess being that you didn't want to upset the apple cart that your leftist buddies ride upon and you didn't want to offend them by criticizing their radical leftist leaders.

You're pretty mild in your criticism of those radical Democrats, probably because you seem to walk on eggshells in this forum w/respect to your leftist pals here.

Me?  I couldn't care less about offending them.

You?  You make excuses for them and their personal attacks. 

I always find that trait with you to be amusing.

I wonder if James Lacey, being a Texan cares to respond to the idea that all of his radical leftist Democrat legislature members left their posts to run to D.C. like the cowards they are, at taxpayer expense.

I wonder if James supports this ANTI-Democrat tactic they've engaged.

And I noticed that you conveniently dodged the fact that EVERY single one of them was vaccinated, and yet 6 of the 50 or so contracted the Corona Virus.

Would you care to comment on that fact, and give reasoning as to why you believe that they did get Corona Virus?

Is this an indication that perhaps, just perhaps the vaccine is NOT as effective as the gov't is telling us?  

Would you criticize these clowns for engaging in a SUPER SPREADER event??  

I doubt you would, however you might surprise even me!  

What is your guess?  Will James respond and give defense for his leftist legislature clowns or do you think he'll revert to his usual tactic of telling me that I live in a right wing echo chamber?  

The responses yet to come, or the lack of responses, should be interesting.

Aside from your simplistic remark, calling a Scientifically based 6000 person controlled Medical Study by the Danish indicating that masks seem to have zero effect "utter bull hockey", do you have any facts with which to counter the study?

Or do you just want dismiss the Science out of hand, since it doesn't comport with your leftist agenda?

How many got seriously ill?  (none)  This is a big benefit of being vaccinated.  You should consider it, the current wave of hospitalizations are almost all of unvaccinated people.  Just lookin' out for your best interest.

Jim

Did they contract the delta variant?  It is certainly possible, perhaps even probable, however I haven't read that they did.  

Do you have any information about it?

I'd be interested to look at it.

https://www.texastribune.org/2021/07/17/texas-democrats-coronavirus/

I didn't see mention of the Delta variant in that article.

And I don't need to "consider the benefit of being vaccinated".  

I've never doubted that the vaccinations help, however we were assured by the CDC and Fauci that these vaccines were effective against the Delta virus.

What I do think is that this is a completely politicized and politically used virus to exert a huge power over the American people.

This is pretty much not even in dispute any longer, since all one need do is see what is happening on the border with Migrants who carry the virus.

They are not only permitted to enter the nation with their huge percentage infection rate, the Biden administration is transporting 10s of 1000s of the illegal migrants all over the nation, dropping them everywhere.

Why is the left totally unconcerned with the border situation and the Border patrol using military jets to transport all these illegal migrants across the nation?

If this administration and the leftist Democrat party WAS in fact interested in the science and was worried about the transmission to the citizens, I doubt they would turn the blind eye to the situation the way they are.
