A month or two ago, when teachers here in Oregon had already been moved up the vaccination list by our Governor Kate Brown for the purpose of getting schools open to help people all around, our protocol-fascist shitty newspaper of record The Oregonian ran a hand-wringing article about how the Governor’s policies had Oregon low on the list of states based on their rate of getting seniors vaccinated. Democrats were not getting people vaccinated. It used to be such a nice mediocre newspaper.

Which would be fine except they insist on Japanese individuals from Japan. In other words, someone of the same ethnicity who has the same genetic issues that's from Canada or the UK doesn't really count for some reason. There's documented instances where the government has rejected valid studies done on Asian individuals simply because they weren't native Japanese and made them repeat it with citizens.

Because our healthcare 'system' is so market-based, we have to be reminded repeatedly when a shot, exam, or whatever is at no cost.

It's that same type of entitlement (with some racism blended in) that fueled the The Villages, FL, to vote for Former Dear Leader and led to the Three Kings Insurrection of 2021.

It's stupid to send kids back to in person school this year. It'll only be for half a semester, and will require teachers to completely overhaul their curricula AGAIN. Just ride it out for the rest of the year and bring the kids back in the fall.

Back when there was such a thing as newsstands around rural Pa they would carry both the Pgh. Post-Gazette and the Pgh. (actually Greensburg) Tribune-Review, the horrible right wing Scaife owned rag. They'd always stack them right next to each other and it was often hard to grab a P-G that hadn't been running up against a Trib. but I always tried. Ya know, right wing cooties. Alas, nowadays the P-G is almost as bad; seems fascist bullshit sells in western PA now, even in Pgh.

This is why I have waited even though I am 65. I'll sign up after I feel like the people who interact with the public every day have had their chance. Of course I live on Texas so it may never happen but hey.
