Well, We Knew This Was Going to Happen

 

Here in the Dictatorship of Washington State, our ruler in Olympia has announced that he will join in the evil conference of Trump-hating states to require state approval of any Covid vaccine approved by the FDA and CDC. This dictator, who is head-over-heels in love with government, and who insists that we comply with all CDC-related directives (with a statewide mask mandate), is now rejecting the approval by that august body of a Covid vaccine that, according to him, will be the only way we will ever approach a normal life here in our dictatorship. Here are a couple of quotes from an article announcing this.

Inslee says this is needed because the Trump Administration has undermined trust in federal agencies.

“Some of that has been caused by the ham-handed attempt by the president to monkey with the FDA process,” Inslee said. “And that has caused increased concerns.”

Inslee said while Washington is doing much better than most of the rest of the nation, we still need to take the pandemic seriously, especially when we’re around family and friends.

State Health Officer Dr. Kathy Lofy said a new study about face masks conducted by Western Washington University showed that of the 4,000 people surveyed, 90 percent said they often or always wear masks while in public. But that dropped to 50 percent when the participants said they were at home or attending private settings.

“Some people may feel it’s awkward to ask a friend to wear a mask when they come over to your house,” Lofy said. “But we really need to make mask wearing, particularly (while) inside (and) always with people (who are from) outside of your household . . . the norm.” [emphasis mine]

Both Ray and I are in a high-risk group (0ver 60 years old), and I am very angry that our dictator is delaying the introduction of any vaccine because he hates the President. And our dictator is putting all the nursing-home residents and frontline medical workers at risk, due to his bad case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. May he go straight to hell when the time comes.

    So, is he going to reject Federal dollars because the eeeeeevil Donald Trump runs the Treasury?

    None, because I know that a recall will be wasted effort. He has a 60% approval rating on his handling of the virus crisis, so there is no chance of one succeeding. 
    I am just concentrating on my signature-verification job.

    We missed the target number needed to do a recall against Tony Evers. Sad. Now we have to start over.

    The lack of self-awareness in these people is astonishing.

    If Biden gets his 100-day mask mandate, it should mean we’ll never again hear Democrats complain about why people no longer trust our public agencies.

    This might change for your state after January 2021.

    Nothing will change for my state after January 2021.  I am hoping that it will not stay “my state” for too much longer.  I am hoping to be able to move out.

    I find it interesting its liberal states who are trying to strip the power of the FDA. That is not a bad thing. However not sure how they can stop doctors from administrating the vaccine? Its one thing to legalize a drug the FDA thru administrative law restricts. But making a drug illegal that FDA approves? Not sure if anyone has ever tried that. Good luck in enforcing that mandate.

     

    Not that I will be getting it in the next few years,  because I am not high risk. However I hope my 84 year old grandmother gets it.

    Doctors cannot administer a vaccine that has not been released to them.  The States of New York, California, Oregon and Washington are delaying release of the vaccine pending their own health department approval.  They have control over vaccine supplies.

    With a 60% approval rating he must be carrying out the will of the people. They deserve him. I think if Biden  becomes President that all will be forgiven and the Biden vaccine will be welcomed. (Even if its the same stuff)

    That is not a high risk group.  If you don’t have specific co-morbidities, it is just the flu.  You should get a flu vaccine and 5 minutes of sun every day.

    Jay is crushing the freedom and liberty out of us here in the Evergreen state closed the schools system, restaurants and bars plus churches but not the liquor stores or lot shops heaven forbid if he cuts out his revenue sources of sin taxes.  I have him hiding behind-the-scenes of scientists, so did others such as Hitler and Stalin.  We must stand up for our freedoms.

    I moved out after 15 years last month. A beautiful state that keeps electing a true moron as a governor. He is so bad, I put him in the same league as the village idiot who claims to have just won the presidential election – I imagine they both achieved their goals using similar fraudulent methods.

    I don’t think Inslee is any worse than the rest of the damned Democrats, only for us he is closer. All of this garbage is going to resolve by mid January when these idiots have nothing to “resist.” Their completely lack of self-awareness is remarkable, but not unexpected. I worked for too many years among the sheeple who make up the largest percentage of the public school teaching staff. They were, for the most part, ignorant of anything beyond the limited scope of their profession and more than willing to follow anyone who offered them a sense of righteousness, hence their complete surrender to the Woke movement. Trump was rapidly turned into the epicenter of all that is bad following his election in 2016. The media hammered out the image and reinforced it hour by hour. This was brainwashing on a massive scale, and when the brain is limited in capacity for reasonable argument, it was most effective. Hence, we have nearly half of the country’s population completely blind to many positive things that have been accomplished during the last four years. The leaders of the Resist movement, like Inslee, like method actors, convince themselves of their ideas so effectively that the essential illogic of those ideas never occurs to them. They are simply facts, in a word, science. I have no doubt of the validity of the truths in Erich Fromm’s Escape From Freedom which I read when still in high school. I have seen it proved repeatedly throughout my life. This last four years has simply been one more example.

    Things will be delayed only long enough to take credit for them and blame Trump for delays and any imperfections that are discovered.  Some things should be obvious to us by now.
