The Tennessee Holler is awesome. A voice of sanity crying in the wilderness.

Finding out that teens can get health care without parental consent reminds them of abortion which makes them knee jerk scream in terror. Also these are the same people who won't get their kids the HPV vaccine because they'd rather watch their precious babies die of cancer than maybe have sex without "consequences".

Leaving the woman's big fit aside, let's assume she is correct that she had covid-19 and recovered 3 months ago. Could she continue to test positive? And if so, is she still contagious? I would really like to know the science here.

Fuckers like these are going to get my theater closed down again, despite that I'm in the Chicago, and I will tell you that live theater cannot survive another shut down.

not to worry, gov. lee is taking care of the real deadly danger to Tennesseans, he just went to the border last weekend to visit the 300 TN national guard troops he sent there. I just hope they have some troops left at home in case anymore lady doctors get unruly.

“Tennesseans serve on the front lines of the Southern border crisis, and it has rapidly escalated to not just a matter of public safety but a threat to our country’s national security,” said Gov. Lee. “Americans owe these troops a debt of gratitude for their service, and the federal government owes Americans a plan to restore both our border security and our standing as a global power.”Gov. Lee says the situation at the border should be a major priority.“What I saw at the border is unsustainable for our country and should be number one priority for national security,” said Gov. Lee. “Tennessee will always step up and serve, but we need immediate reinforcements, like a finished border wall, to ensure our men and women in uniform have the tools they need to do their job.”https://www.wbbjtv.com/2021...

Look, I would have to think long and hard about whether to piss on them were they burning on the side of the road, but what you are saying in this case is: "Let them be petri dishes for breeding new variants."

We need to realize this. This isn't a zero sum game. Their loss is not our gain. Only our collective gain--gettingas many people as possible immune--is our gain. At present, they are saying you need 95% immunity (by vaccine or prior illness) to reach herd immunity against the delta variant.

If you say, "Let them die," you're going to find a lot more people die as well.

Not enough. Mortality is less than 3%.

I wonder what the answer would be if Lee was asked "what he saw at the border."

Bored TN National Guardsmen I would presume.

Did he get to take a boat ride with the Border Patrol?

Bowling has also needlessly promoted skepticism about COVID-19 vaccines because the the US Food and Drug Administration has not fully approved them.

Are these the same mental giants who rush to buy whatever garbage "health" product Glenn Beck, Jim Bakker, Alex Jones, and the rest are selling?

Or are these different mental giants?

no. Covid-19 tests look for active virus; you need to take a separate antibody test to see if you have had it and recovered.

We also know that it's quite possible to get Covid twice, because natural immunity via getting it and recovering, doesn't seem to be as reliably strong as GETTING THE DAMNED VACCINE!

In short: She is an ignorant poopyhead.
