STUPID Republican comments

IDAHO: Ground zero for latest Covid-19 stupidity...

 

THERE'S MORE: With overflowing morgues and ICUs in Idaho, its imbecile Gov. Brad Little threatens to sue Pres. Biden over his "plan to fine private employers with 100 or more employees that do not mandate the COVID-19 vaccine or routine testing.” Yes, let's kill more Idahoans???

UPDATE: More Idaho Covid-19 health crisis...774 hospitalized, 206 in ICU. Looks like more Idahoans getting vaccinated. READ MORE. 

Idaho currently has 249,740 cases of coronavirus, 2,753 deaths. Their total cases and deaths per 1,000 population are closely comparable to Texas and Florida, two of the worst states for Covid-19 in the country. Why? One good reason is the state has vaccinated only 41.3% of its population. Dr. Carolyn McFarlane, medical director, Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center, muses over their problems...

"To handle all the patients coming in, the hospital has transformed a storage room into more treatment areas inside its emergency department."

More...

"Now it's been rearranged as curtains with tags as room numbers, we staff it with a nurse, two if possible, but we don't always get that," said Michael Young, an emergency room nurse.

Rationale in a state that appears not to want it: Idaho ICU doctor: 'It didn't have to be this way.'

To give you an idea of the background of stupidity in the Idaho crisis, Ashley

Carvalho was a few hours into her night shift as a doctor in a Boise, Idaho, hospital earlier this month. A man in his 40s with Covid-19 was deteriorating and Carvalho was doing her best to keep the family abreast of his condition. She remembered another similar incident, a man with the virus, where she had taken abuse from the family for not treating him with ivermectin.

Ivermectin, of course, has been judged dangerous by the CDC with recommendations never to use. The confrontation continued until police had to remove the man’s family. The reason was...

the son-in-law told her, “If you don’t do this [Ivermectin], I have a lot of ways to get people to do something, and they’re all sitting in my gun safe at home.”

Not only is this doctor dealing with a medical crisis, but she also has now encountered a dangerous gun nut threatening her life. Now here's a reaction from Idaho's governor, Brad Little...

“What is absolutely certain today, may not be certain tomorrow,” said Little when asked what he has learned during his tenure throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

Now that's deep and, if it is what the people of Idaho want to hear, well, no wonder so few are vaccinated, and no wonder the halls of its hospital are lined with dying patients. Good God! The state obviously has no leadership. It's been said hundreds, perhaps thousands of times, but I can't resist saying it again, Little is another Killing Machine in a long line of Republican state heads. And, if the Idaho population has a death wish, just like Ebenezer Scrooge said in the Christmas Carol...

“If they would rather die, they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population."

Dreadful advice, but it seems that this is what the anti-vaxxers are searching for.

Idiots abound in the world of Republican politics but Arizona's Karen Fann eclipses the best

 

Senate President Karen Fann has repeatedly insisted the AZ audit isn’t about Donald Trump. No? Well listen to what the former White House maniac has to say...

“The facts are coming out, the truth is being uncovered and the crime of the century is being fully exposed,” Trump declared at [a] rally.

Fann’s “audit,” Trump continued, has discovered “monumental” evidence of fraud.

 Yet...here are the results from PBS...

"A Republican-backed review of the 2020 presidential election in Arizona’s largest county ended Friday without producing proof to support former President Donald Trump’s false claims of a stolen election."

Anderson Cooper put Fann on the spot getting...as usual, ridiculous answers...

This is just another example of how the Republican Party misuses supporter efforts and donations to spew its constant crush of misinformation

Two innocent victims murdered by anti-vaxxers

 

On Wednesday of last week I did a post on Ray DeMonia, who died in a Mississippi hospital 200 miles from his home in Alabama after his family says the health care facility there "contacted 43 hospitals in 3 states in search of a Cardiac ICU bed." The ICU beds in these 43 hospitals were full because of a bunch of unvaccinated morons who care only about themselves. Ray DeMonia was vaccinated which makes these idiot anti-vaxxers look more like the killers they are. 

I commented on the trauma the family must have gone through in their frantic search. I wonder what DeMonia's wife must have thought during those hundreds of miles and if she might have been cursing the imbeciles in the hospitals who were preventing her husband from getting the medical assistance he needed. If it were me and it was my wife who needed the bed, I think I might have just stopped at one of the hospitals, identified an anti-vaxxer, and replaced him or her with my wife.

The next report of murder comes from Chicago by Mercedes Hidalgo whose brother, Daniel Norman Hidalgo, died in a hospital ICU. This expression of grief has not been said any better that I know of during the dreadful coronavirus pandemic...

"I’m so done with all the BS reasons others give for not doing what’s right for their fellow man."

Wisconsin is almost at 60% full vaccination, but there are always those who think

they know better than science. Hidalgo's sister takes another shot at what she considers "fools"...

"My brother, Daniel Norman Hidalgo, is gone because so many people listen to fools and not their own doctors. And because the fools want to make this political instead of caring for others."

The fools she speaks of are the lunatics that lurk around social media sites and spew endless amounts of misinformation that so far accounts for thousands of deaths. The doctors, nurses and other caretakers at the University Of Illinois Hospital in Chicago cried with Mercedes, something those fools responsible for Daniel's death wouldn't understand. He died on September 13, and this article is well worth reading
