The self-rapturing are self-sterilizing as well. It’s a little slow, but it seems like a good solution to fixing the republican white nationalist insurrectionist terrorist problem. In a generation there won’t be anyone left to take up the klan hood and torch.

I found the bottom  part talking with Jon Ronson interesting.

Sounds like you're happy about what happened to Barbara Boxer.


Heh

No.

Why?  What has she done that I might be appalled by?

The same things that made you want Jim Acosta dead.

Boxer has had a pretty tame, legit career as a lawmaker.  Not much of a radical.

Rigbt. The same things that make you want Jim Acosta.- who has a legit career as a journalist - dead.

Further reading in that piece shows that there is an effort to overcome medical mistrust.

Good piece, thank you.

There is plenty of research to go with the doctor's story about her son and his wrist. There is a widespread (mistaken) belief that Blacks are less sensitive to pain than other races are which is ostensibly the cause of their being given less and lesser painkillers than others.

Racial bias in pain assessment and treatment recommendations, and false beliefs about biological differences between blacks and whites

Nor is this the only difference in treatment, but it is the most remarkable, IMO.

None of this matters

We have a problem - that US citizens in great number are refusing vaccination

That a high percentage of the black (Republican) community is included among this group signals that someone or some group of individuals needs to be doing a better job influencing blacks (Republicans) to get vaccinated.

If one is true then so is the other, eh?  Don't throw stones, then complain when pelted.

"None of this matters."

Says the white man.

The leaders in the Black community are working on it.

The prime leader in the Republican community is busy attacking the 2020 election.

And the GOP and Trump were happy to let COVID spread in the Blue states back in March and April. Not a problem for them until it went places they didn't think it would go.

So, all of it matters, Kid.

Speaking of the spread of disease, Kid, are you watching the hearings on 1/6 at all?

I didnt know there was one today.  You should have posted it earlier

What matters is that foljs get convinced to get the vaccine

I am not in favor of handouts to get this done - but people, "LEADERS" need to get to work more effectively

Good thing this is all just fear-mongering by the folks on the left, huh?!

I am sure that is a great comfort to those who are hospitalized and their families, let alone the dead.

Here: you can read about it and watch today's testimony from four of the Capitol Police officers who were there.

Working at all would be nice, Kid. Not all of yours are even working at all, for all that we appreciate the late joiners like Sen. McConnell and candidate Sanders.

If President Trump would get on the airwaves and push the vaccines as hard as he peddles conspiracies, your fellow Republicans might move a little more.
