Are the numbers still high enough to jam hospitals?
If so We should refuse treatment for anyone who refused the vaccine without medical cause.

Some places they are high enough. In India people are dying in hospital parking lots because they can't get in the door. Some rural areas in R states are pretty bad. They didn't have many facilities to start with. Rich people can take their private jets to Mayo Clinic. Poor people don't deserve health care.

And covid deniers are people our world would be better off without.

If these idiots would just die peacefully I'd agree. But they jam hospitals and ERs and cost us all a lot of money trying to keep them alive.

Wonder if an armed insurrection is considered "controversial". Or long division.

Rs definitely consider arithmetic controversial. Anyone who believes in arithmetic wouldn't buy their line that you can cut taxes, increase spending, and balance the budget.

So Texas can't supply electricity when it's cold, and can't supply it when it's hot. And yet blue states like Colorado have no trouble with power regardless of weather. What does that tell you about how well R deregulation works?

Methodist doesn't need to fire anti vaxxers for refusing the vaccine. Fire them for being too stupid to work in a hospital.

"There are lots of people who lack education but who have great natural intelligence and a desire to learn, including most of the people I grew up with. Stupid is different. To win a degree in stupid, you have to willfully reject facts in favor of superstitions, myths, fears and conspiracy theories. And then get all your news from fake or biased news sites targeted at the stupid."

Alan Caron

"The ----------- is neither on the side of the true or the side of the false. His eye is not on the facts at all. ... He does not reject the authority of the truth, as the liar does, and oppose himself to it. He pays no attention to it at all. By virtue of this, -------- is a greater enemy of the truth than lies are."

Harry G. Frankfurt

The Court is and will remain highly partisan no matter what Breyer does. All he can do is hand more control to Rs.

This is the party that is rewriting election laws so they can override the popular vote.

If he gets even 50 years (which he deserves) that will be the same as a life sentence.

You can't expect right wingers to have a sense of humor.

"In Trump's long, sordid life no deal, contract, agreement or vow has ever been sacred and inviolable. Ask his wives, partners, contractors, and clients. He is a man without a single shred of regret at breaking even the most solemn commitments."

Calling the orange turd a "strongman" is an insult to strongmen everywhere.

Nazi theory indeed specifically denies that such a thing as the truth' exists. There is, for instance, no such thing as Science' ... If the Leader says of such and such an event, It never happened'"well, it never happened. If he says that two and two are five"well, two and two are five. This prospect frightens me much more than bombs.

Unfortunately that lets out most Rs.

It's Missouri. Rs WANT to be lied to. That's why they're giving Cheney the boot.

These 3 are in deep ----. As they should be.

The article is from March of 2017.

what's the point here?

The point is that anti vaxxers are idiots.

You don't need to guess what the Civil War was about. Each of the states of the Confederacy produced an article of secession explaining exactly why they were leaving the Union. They're all available on line. They put a lot of effort in to these to be sure everyone understood why they were leaving the Union. You don't need to listen to any politicians or pundits. You can read their own words.

It took Trump to truly demonstrate how fragile our democracy is.

It certainly is. Every time I find myself amazed at how someone like the orange turd could get elected I can't help remembering that in the last election he allowed Hitler got 90% of the vote that made him dictator.

If I want to give some other sucker a potentially fatal disease it's my right to do so. So say Rs.
