BOO WHO?

Jill Biden gave a speech before a Brad Paisley show. This was incredibly stupid, because country music fans are not exactly disciples of the progressive policies shoved down our throats by the Biden misadministration. Jill met with Brad Paisley and his wife at a pop-up vaccination clinic. There were only a handful of people there. She then went next door and talked to the crowd waiting for Brad Paisley to perform. She promptly put down Tennessee as lagging far behind in getting vaccines. The crowd booed, noticeably. Everyone agrees with that. But the MSM says the crowd was booing themselves. Right!  Country Music fans are famous for booing themselves. They were booing this arrogant self-righteous woman demanding they all get vaccinated, or else.

Once, again, this is a classic example of demanding people follow the science, without regard to the actual science. My wife and I have been vaccinated. At our age, that makes sense. The older you get the more danger from getting COVID 19. In addition, if serious side effects show up 20 years from now, you can tell us about it standing over our graves. But I know many people, much younger, who don’t want the vaccine. I also know many people, much younger, who caught COVID 19. The ones who caught it are all fine with no lingering aftereffects. One of them suffered from a diminished ability to taste things that lasted about three weeks. The others were sick almost all afternoon. Numerous studies show that school age children have little risk from COVID 19, and they have little risk of spreading it. But facts don’t matter because the same science that demanded social distancing, which did not work, and wearing filthy non-medical masks, which did not work, are now demanding that people who don’t need a vaccine take it whether they want it or not. For many people, the answer is not, and they are not necessarily stupid, selfish, or ignorant. They don’t want the vaccine, that has not been approved for other than emergency use by the FDA because to them the risk is not worth the potential benefit. History teaches us that it sometimes takes years before we know the full side effects of vaccines. For younger people, that is a legitimate concern.

They also ignored something that should be obvious. As of today, there have been 33,665,482 people who were confirmed to have COVID 19. In addition, at least 177,342,954 people have received at least one vaccine shot and 150,046,005 people have been fully vaccinated. Now do some simple math to point out the obvious. First, the people who give these statistics suck at math. This is because they claim 177,342,954 people is 54% of the population while 150,045,005 is 46% of the population. Both can’t be right because that would put the total population at either 328,412,878 and 326,186,967. It sure looks like another “scientific method” of moving the goal posts whenever one gets near the target. In addition, you need to add the number of people who tested positive to the number vaccinated, because they are also immune from COVID 19. In fact, they are probably more immune that those who just had the vaccine.

But more important, is who has been vaccinated. Almost everyone I know, with a couple of notable exceptions, who is over age 60 has been vaccinated. That means the people most vulnerable have already been vaccinated. Certainly, most people over age 60 who want to be vaccinated have been vaccinated.

If people who are not vaccinated and are not at high risk, get COVID 19, they just become immune and speed up the process at which the disease will self-exterminate. Some call this herd immunity, but people like Dr. Fauci prefer “heard immunity” which means people who listen to him, whether he makes sense or not.  Democratic politicians, like Jill Biden, lecture us on following the science, which means listening to them whether they make sense or not. This is the same science that destroyed much of our economy and probably killed more people by delayed treatment than would have possibly been killed by COVID 19. COVID 19, contrary to CNN, is not the only thing that kills people. For example watching Don Lemon or Anderson Cooper represents a serious risk of being bored to death.

Anyhow, did the crowd at that Tennessee concert boo themselves, or did they boo Jill Biden. If Trump or Mike Pence or Melania Trump had received this response to something they said, the MSM would have had zero difficulty understanding who was and was not being booed. Here’s a clue. Stand up in front of any crowd, especially a crowd filled with country music fans. Ask them to boo themselves. Good luck with that.

No matter how they spin it, this is not the only crowd that is booing arrogant, ignorant, and selfish people demanding everyone do something they consider worthless and potentially dangerous. As for me, if you want to get a vaccine, get one. If you have had COVID 19, you probably shouldn’t get one, but check with your doctor. Either way, I have been vaccinated. I can’t hurt you and you can’t hurt me. End of story.

One final thought. Jon Rahm got COVID 19. He had to withdraw from the Memorial Golf Tournament, even though he was leading by 6 strokes. He was ordered to be isolated from everyone, including his parents. This debilitating disease devastated him so much that he barely won the U.S.
