Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
Join Jim and Greg as they close out the week with a double dose of good news. First, they’re happy to see Dr. Fauci contradict the Biden administration and push for a return to in-person schooling. But they also unload on teachers’ unions for constantly finding excuses not to be back in school. They also welcome encouraging news on two more coronavirus vaccines, even if they’re not quite as effective as the earlier ones. And they shake their heads as President Biden’s brother is already trading on the family name for business purposes.

So if we have to carry a vaccination certificate to participate in certain activities, will we have to put the brand of vaccine? Will Pfizer and Moderna people have perks not available to Johnson & Johnson people?
How will they get back the teachers who are “remote-teaching” from Caribbean islands?
Why would Xiden tell his family to knock it off when he’s getting a 10% cut?
Sorry, but this is a repeat, since the vaccine talk keeps repeating:
The media (and Jim!) is not doing a good job making clear what “the vaccine” actually does.
This is from the WHO Chief Scientist: “I don’t believe we have the evidence on any of the vaccines to be confident that it’s going to prevent people from actually getting the infection and therefore being able to pass it on,” Swaminathan said. The top three vaccines — Moderna, Pfizer-BioNTech and AstraZeneca — have been found in large trials to prevent recipients from becoming sick or seriously ill, but researchers are still trying to determine whether the vaccines prevent the virus from spreading from the recipient to others.
You know what else has been found to “prevent recipients from becoming sick or seriously ill” when confronted by viruses? Losing weight, exercise, fresh air and sunlight, eating healthy food, and sufficient sleep. Those are the best recommendations that should have been given by the CDC to the public since the start of this imposed nightmare.
But everyone (and Jim!) is just assuming that these vaccines simply prevent infection, because they are called “vaccines”.
Good grief, we are in a world of low information, where most of the media continues to lower the intelligence of anyone listening. How about our side tries to do better?
While the media are covering for Biden now, at some point they may decide that it’s time for him to step aside for Kamala. Just like the media helped LBJ bury Goldwater and then, four years later, helped bury LBJ.
If that happens, the liberal evening news will suddenly start sounding like Fox. So it might be wise for Biden to clean up his act.
But wouldn’t the liberal evening news SUPPORT all that?
Remember, the media’s reaction to the Biden laptop story was not to say what the Biden family was doing was all OK, but to suppress the true story while spreading the false narrative that it was Russian disinformation.
Presumably their focus groups found “it’s all OK” didn’t play well with swing voters.
Well they’ve been lying about Trump and the GOP in general for years, I don’t know what would force them to stop lying now.
