Alex Jones
Mr Jones is a conspiracy-theorist who claimed Mr Trump was “being deliberately killed” with experimental drugs when he was treated for Covid at Walter Reed in 2020.
And he was not impressed with the former president’s stance on vaccinations.
“BS. Trump: That’s a lie, you’re not stupid. Just two weeks ago they said it was 65 per cent, then 40 per cent, saw a number put out about Pfizer shots, 30-something per cent,” Mr Jones told his Infowars audience on Monday.
“Because they just want to tell you it doesn’t work so you run and get the new damn shot. And then they’ll tell you in six months that one doesn’t work. It’s called rope-a-dope.”
And he added: “Shame on you, Trump. Seriously.
“Hey, if you don’t have the good sense to save yourself and your political career, that’s okay.
“At least you’re going to get some good Republicans elected, and we like you. But, my God, maybe you’re not that bright. Maybe Trump’s actually a dumbass.”
I’m so happy British Columbia is bringing back the mask mandates and even happier they are introducing a vaccine mandate and passport! I honestly did not think they had it in them! But at this point the unvaccinated can cry themselves to sleep for all I care! Soon enough no vaccine, no restaurant, no theatres, no fun for you. I only feel bad the the very few who genuinely can’t get the vaccine due to allergies etc. But for the rest of the unvaccinated fuckers……. You are going to have to stay home!
Yes, let’s give it up for more mandates and sharing your personal health information with the public! I can’t wait for further government enforcement in our future lives after covid as well! Show me your papers!!! This sounds wonderful! Further government control and say in our lives. It’s brilliant!
I’m “jabbed” and I feel like I did my part, but if you guys don’t realize the other shit that’s going down around this you’re nuts.

Not really surprising
Cases of COVID-19 have jumped up nearly sixfold in South Dakota in the two weeks following the annual Sturgis motorcycle rally.
Prior to the 10-day rally, which attracts thousands of people from across the Midwest for concerts and bar hopping in the state's Meade County, South Dakota was averaging around 50 new infections a day. In the two weeks since, cases are now up 152%, according to The New York Times, and on Aug. 24 the state reported 785 new infections.
Who Saw This Coming?
Besides everyone, that is. Well, everyone who is not part of the MAGA crowd. When you put a bunch of people in a limited space, largely without masks, and while a new variant of COVID is running wild, you are likely to get...wait for it...a whole bunch of sick people. You did not need our crystal ball to predict that.
There have been several proofs of concept unfolding this week. Well, apparent proofs of concept, because they tend to happen, not coincidentally, in places that don't believe in contact tracing. Last year, the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally went forward, and only some people died, so that was seen as a success. It also went forward this year, ending on Aug. 15. And whaddya know? A bit more than 10 days out, and the number of COVID cases in South Dakota (where the rally is held each year) has jumped a staggering 3,400%. And that, of course, does not include the folks who attended the rally and then took a "souvenir" case of disease home with them.
Then there is Iowa, a state that is nearly as laissez faire about public health as South Dakota is. There, the Iowa State Fair just concluded; it attracted over 1 million guests from August 11-22. And the COVID cases are already spiking, with a 25% increase in hospitalizations, and a trendline that is headed to scary places once the 10-12 day gestation period had elapsed. Nearly all of those hospitalized were not vaccinated, and the newly ill are disproportionately young, with 56% under the age of 40 and 17% under the age of 17.
And speaking of young people, the unhappiest news comes from the nation's schools. With the school year just underway in most places, 180,000 students tested positive for COVID last week (this week's numbers will surely be worse, once they are compiled); at least 90,000 have had to quarantine; more than 1,400 students have been hospitalized; and there have been at least a dozen deaths. The bulk of the sick students are in states hostile to masking/vaxxing, with Mississippi "leading" the way. The folks at Sturgis and the Iowa State Fair made their own beds, generally speaking. Schoolchildren, by contrast, often have little choice but to expose themselves to risk.
The next few months will reveal whether the suffering wrought by cavalier approaches to the pandemic will outweigh political considerations, owning the libs, "freedom," and other public-health-undermining attitudes. With Donald Trump somewhat sidelined these days, the two leaders (champions? capos? reapers?) of the "you can't tell us what to do" resistance are Govs. Greg Abbott (R-TX) and Ron DeSantis (R-FL). At the moment, they are employing rather different approaches to the messes they are helping to make for their states.
Abbott, for his part, is—for all intents and purposes—talking out both sides of his mouth. On one hand, his rhetoric continues to be focused on how this is 'murica, goddammit, and God-fearing Texans aren't going to yield their God-given freedoms just because of some annoying disease. On Wednesday, a day where the Lone Star State witnessed more than 23,000 new COVID diagnoses, he issued an executive order forbidding any government agency in Texas from imposing a vaccine mandate. Then, on Thursday, he announced that his administration was bringing in 2,500 healthcare workers from other states because, you know, the pandemic is spiraling out of control again, and Texas' healthcare system is overwhelmed.
DeSantis, meanwhile, has decided to try out a little gaslighting. Florida has about 20,000 new cases per day, and almost no ICU beds left. Even more grim, an average of 227 Floridians are dying each day from COVID, the highest number in the nation right now, the highest number the Sunshine State has seen, and a 613% increase from a week ago. So, naturally, the Governor went on Fox News to brag about his state's "great success" in fighting the pandemic, while also proposing that the Biden administration really ought to be following his lead. It certainly takes...well, something to go on TV and say that with a straight face. Host Jesse Watters did not challenge DeSantis because, you know, it's Fox.
Beyond that, what else is there to say? Maybe, despite the obvious turn for the worse, these "freedom first" folks don't mind dying on this hill, and their upwardly aspirational leaders will remain happy to make that possible. After all, once you take up residence in a cemetery, nobody ever again nags you about wearing a mask. (Z)
I mean it'll probably work

I have to be fair to the GQP, they are suppressing the vote on both sides. I think I’d rather be suppressed as a Democrat tho…
My brother is diabetic and thinks he has it. Is going this morning to get tested. I am very worried.
Fuck every person who has made this political and refuses to get vaccinated for that reason. I already felt that way, but even more so today.
If one more person posts on Facebook that vaccine mandates is comparable to being a Jew in Germany in the 1940's....
