I’M BACK, SORT OF

Tom Naughton    June 14, 2021 June 14, 2021    6 Comments on I’m Back, Sort Of

Thanks to the Little Goebbels censors at Twitter, I’ve resurrected my other blog
as a place where I can question what The Party tells us and expect (for now) the
questions to remain online.

I just spent more than a month in Twitter jail for “spreading misinformation
about COVID-19.”  The “misinformation” consisted of five points, all clearly
true. That’s where we’re at: Big-Tech social media has become an obedient lapdog
for The Party and The Ministry of Truth.

If you want to keep in touch, head over to the TomNaughton.com blog.  This blog
will stay retired.

News and Reviews, The Anointed   



THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES …

Tom Naughton    December 30, 2020 December 30, 2020    185 Comments on Thanks
For The Memories …

When people who follow your blog start emailing to make sure you’re still alive,
it’s time to explain the extended absence.

Fall is a busy time for most people, but especially for our family. Starting in
mid-October, we have Chareva’s birthday, Halloween, Sara’s birthday, my
birthday, Thanksgiving and then Christmas. I didn’t feel like carving out time
to write new posts. I did, however, think long and hard about my future and the
future of this blog, especially after I took my end-of-year vacation from the
programming job and had plenty of downtime.

I’ll spoil the ending now: this will probably be my last post – if not for good,
then for a good long while. That decision, of course, deserves a long
explanation.

For more than a decade, I’ve been working the equivalent of two jobs: the
programming job to pay the bills, plus the second job of producing a film,
several speeches, a thousand blog posts, a book, a handful of videos, then
another film, including all the music and all the animation … oh, and I’ve also
coded and released three updates to a software system I sell to
intellectual-property attorneys. I’ve always had a Big Project! in the works,
usually with the next Big Project! already lined up.

A longtime reader checked in recently to ask if I’d croaked or anything like
that, so I told her about my decision. Although she was disappointed, she put it
perfectly: you simply can’t keep the accelerator floored forever.

Yup … and I’ve had the accelerator floored for a long, long time.



When Fat Head was released, our daughter Sara was a little pipsqueak in
kindergarten. That’s her above in a mock magazine cover from an early post. Our
daughter Alana was an even littler pipsqueak in preschool. Sara leaves for
college in less than a year, then Alana two years after that. When we bought
this property in 2011, I took what I thought would be a short-term programming
job (the original contract was for six months) to help pay for renovations. In
just over four years, I’ll be retiring from that job, complete with a 401k
package and a hearty handshake (assuming we’re not still under “temporary”
social-distancing mandates). I’m very aware of how quickly the time is passing.

After my dad’s mother died, he told me, “When both your parents are gone, you
feel this little tap on your shoulder that says You’re next.” I responded with
something like, “Oh come on, Dad, you probably have 30 more years ahead of you.”

Turns out Dad knew what he was talking about (as was usually the case). When my
mom died in April, I didn’t feel that tap on the shoulder immediately, but
eventually it was there:

Tap-tap-tap … you’re next.

I’m healthier than most 62-year-old guys, and my energy level is still good. I
probably have at least 30 more years ahead of me. But I understand now what my
dad was saying. You’re next doesn’t mean you’re on death’s doorstep. It means
you hear the clock ticking. It means you actually feel that your time on earth
is limited, as opposed to merely understanding it intellectually.

If that sounds depressing, it isn’t, at least not for me. I’d say it’s more
clarifying.

Tap-tap-tap … Hey, Buddy, you don’t exactly have your whole life ahead of you
anymore. Are you spending your remaining time doing things you no longer enjoy?
Are there things you always wanted to do but haven’t done yet? If so, you’d
better get to it.

If you’ve heard me answer the What prompted you to make Fat Head? question as a
podcast guest, you know I didn’t plan to make a career of it. What eventually
became Fat Head began as an idea for a series I wanted to pitch titled In
Defense of Common Sense: a common-sense guy takes a humorous look at issues of
the day. I figured if the pitch didn’t take, I’d move on to other projects.
After all, I have a lot of interests.

Then Fat Head took on a life of its own. After learning just how friggin’ awful
and damaging our government’s dietary advice has been, I decided Fat Head needed
to be a full-length documentary, not a sample episode for a series. The
arterycloggingsaturatedfat! and hearthealthywholegrains! nonsense was so
pervasive in the media, I felt a need to keep hammering away on it, so I started
the blog. I had that fire-in-the-belly passion to spread a message: Folks,
you’ve been lied to! Meat, eggs and butter aren’t bad for you! Grains and
vegetable oils aren’t health foods! Following the standard advice won’t make you
healthy, but it will make Big Ag and Big Pharma rich.

I knew I’d actually made a small dent after Fat Head was shown on a cable
network in New Zealand and I started receiving email messages like: We watched
your doco last night and were gobsmacked! (I had to go look up the definition of
gobsmacked to make sure I hadn’t hurt anyone and no lawsuits were forthcoming.)
Then I received similar email messages from viewers in Israel, France and South
Africa.

Once Fat Head went to Netflix and found a large audience, I started receiving
all those lovely emails from viewers, thanking me for making the film and
telling me that after watching it, they were finally able to lose weight and
become healthy after years of frustration. Next thing I knew, people were
getting in touch and asking me to give speeches or appear on their podcast
shows.

I hadn’t anticipated any of this. It felt a bit like hopping on a bus for what I
thought would be a short ride across town, then realizing I’d inadvertently
taken a long ride to a different country and being pleasantly surprised by the
people and the surroundings. Call it an attitude of Go With The Flow, or Things
Happen For A Reason or whatever, but I had a strong feeling of This is where I’m
supposed to be now, planned or not.

Fast-forward to late 2020: that feeling has faded. It’s been fading for some
time.  Whatever purpose I served with this blog, I feel I’ve already served it.
Over the years, several podcasters asked me the same question: What can we do to
get the USDA and other government agencies to change their lousy advice? I
always gave the same answer: That’s not my goal, because The Anointed never,
ever admit they were wrong. My goal is to convince people to ignore them.

Mission accomplished. Thanks to a small army of bloggers, authors, podcasters,
filmmakers and YouTubers, people are no longer gobsmacked to learn that
arterycloggingsaturatedfat! and hearthealthywholegrains! are nonsense. As I
noted in one of my speeches, a recent survey showed that nearly three-quarters
of Americans no longer believe our government’s dietary recommendations are good
for them. Big Pharma is complaining that people don’t take their prescribed
statins. Full-fat dairy products are out-selling low-fat products again.

When I started the blog 12 years ago, relatively few people had heard of
low-carb, ketogenic or paleo diets. Now our local Kroger sells low-carb dinners,
grain-free pastas, and ketogenic ice cream. Riced cauliflower is in the freezer
section, not far from the gluten-free breads and pizza crusts. Magazines on
display near the checkout counters promise Delicious Ketogenic Meal Recipes! on
their covers. Before coronahysteria closed the office, I’d sit in the employee
cafeteria and hear my young co-workers discussing which meals they were eating
on their ketogenic or paleo diets.

I don’t receive those Your film saved my life! emails anymore because pretty
much everyone has heard of low-carb/keto/paleo diets and either made the switch
or decided not to. I don’t have that fire-in-the-belly passion to keep fighting
a battle that’s largely been won. It’s time to move on.

To what? Honestly, I don’t know, and that’s more than a little unusual for me.
Like a lot of people (men in particular, in my opinion), I’ve tended to define
myself by my accomplishments. That’s part of the reason I’ve always had the next
Big Project! in mind. I was never satisfied to just put in my days at the
programming job and then go watch TV until bedtime. I always needed a goal to
pursue – preferably something difficult. I kept the accelerator floored …
although if you’re a long-time reader, you know my engine has been sputtering
lately.

Now my foot’s off the pedal. During this end-of-the-year break, I’ve done next
to nothing. (I don’t consider getting through half of my “to watch” list on
Netflix an accomplishment.) For one of the few times in my adult life, I don’t
know what the next Big Project! will be. The surprise to me is that I’m totally
okay with that, probably because I know it will be temporary. I’ve always been
blessed with an abundance of creative energy, and sooner or later, it will want
to go somewhere. I don’t know where it will want to go, but I believe it needs
to go somewhere new.

As the saying goes, sometimes one door has to close before another opens. So
after spending a lot of time thinking about it, I’ve decided this is the door I
need to close. When that next door opens, I’ll know. I’ll feel it.

Perhaps I’ll be inspired to write another book someday. Perhaps I’ll record all
the songs that have been floating around in my head for decades. Perhaps I’ll
start a humorous/commentary YouTube channel. Perhaps I’ll return to my dormant
TomNaughton.com blog to write about other subjects. Perhaps I’ll just work on my
golf game and try to break 80 before I die.

It’s even possible that after a good long break, I’ll want to fire up this blog
again, although I wouldn’t bet on it. The Fat Head Facebook group will remain up
and running, but as you know if you’re a member, I spend very little time there.
I’m still active on Twitter (@TomDNaughton), and will be until Twitter’s
woke-company censorship becomes more than I can stand. But my days as a
diet-and-health blogger are almost certainly over.

To those of you who’ve been companions on this journey – for all of it or part
of it – you have my eternal gratitude. Without all the back-and-forth in
comments, the blog wouldn’t have meant a thing. I’ve always been impressed by
the intelligence and knowledge of our regular readers, and I’ve learned way more
from all of you than you ever learned from me. You helped to make it one heck of
an interesting ride.

I wish you all a happy, healthy and prosperous future … and thanks for the
memories.

FROM THE (BED-WETTER) NEWS …

Tom Naughton    October 26, 2020 October 26, 2020    55 Comments on From The
(Bed-Wetter) News …

Interesting (bed-wetter) items from my inbox and elsewhere …

Even WHO is against lockdowns now

Mere months after helping to start a panic that led to the job-killing
lockdowns, the World Health Organization is finally admitting the cure is worse
than the disease, as reported in the New York Post:

> The World Health Organization has warned leaders against relying on COVID-19
> lockdowns to tackle outbreaks — after previously saying countries should be
> careful how quickly they reopen.
> 
> WHO envoy Dr. David Nabarro said such restrictive measures should only be
> treated as a last resort, the British magazine the Spectator reported in a
> video interview.

Last resort? Why are lockdowns a resort of any kind? The data shows they don’t
work. (See below.) This is like saying bleeding the patient to release the bad
humours should only be treated as a last resort.

> Nabarro said tight restrictions cause significant harm, particularly on the
> global economy. “Lockdowns just have one consequence that you must never, ever
> belittle, and that is making poor people an awful lot poorer,” he said.

Yup. And poverty kills. There are no words capable of expressing the contempt I
feel towards people who are gainfully employed and happy to support lockdowns as
long as their jobs are safe.

Other people’s lives and businesses will be destroyed? Yeah, I’m okay with that
as long as a lockdown means there’s an itty-bitty, teeny-tiny reduction in the
odds I’ll be exposed to a virus that has a 99.96% survival rate and is less
deadly that ordinary flu for people younger than 70. We all have to pull
together, ya know!

I’ve never seen a clearer example of the haves not giving a rat’s ass about the
have-nots. When people argue with me about lockdowns on Twitter or elsewhere, I
always ask the same question: What job or business did you lose because of the
lockdowns, and why do you consider that a worthwhile sacrifice? I’ve yet to
receive a reply.

It would be a different debate if lockdowns were saving thousands of lives. But
of course …

Lockdowns don’t work

What have I been saying since April? The virus is going to spread, period. The
most locksdown can accomplish is to slow the pace of the spread. So while this
article in National Review calls the data “surprising,” I’m not surprised at
all:

> Governors in different states responded to the COVID-19 pandemic at different
> times and in different ways. Some states, such as California, ordered sweeping
> shutdowns. Others, such as Florida, took a more targeted approach. Still
> others, such as South Dakota, dispensed information but had no lockdowns at
> all.
> 
> As a result, we can now compare outcomes in different states, to test the
> question no one wants to ask: Did the lockdowns make a difference?
> 
> If lockdowns really altered the course of this pandemic, then coronavirus case
> counts should have clearly dropped whenever and wherever lockdowns took place.
> The effect should have been obvious, though with a time lag.
> 
> To judge from the evidence, the answer is clear: Mandated lockdowns had little
> effect on the spread of the coronavirus. As in almost every country, we
> consistently see a steep climb as the virus spreads, followed by a transition
> to a flatter curve. At some point, the curves always slope downward, though
> this wasn’t obvious for all states until the summer.
> 
> The lockdowns can’t be the cause of these transitions. In the first place, the
> transition happened even in places without lockdown orders (see Iowa and
> Arkansas). And where there were lockdowns, the transitions tended to occur
> well before the lockdowns could have had any serious effect.

What do The Anointed do when a Grand Plan fails? You already know: they decide
to do the same thing again, only bigger …

U.K. government: we can @#$% you, but don’t @#$% each other

When I first saw this article from the U.K. Evening Standard, I though it had to
be a parody. Nope, it’s real. Here’s how ridiculous coronahysteria has become:

> Couples living apart in areas with Tier 2 restrictions are not allowed to have
> sleepovers unless they are in a “support bubble”, Downing Street confirmed
> today.

If you can read that sentence without picturing people having sex inside a giant
plastic bubble, you have more mental discipline that I do.

> Boyfriends and girlfriends will be able to meet outdoors in Tier 2 but are
> expected to adhere to social distancing rules such as hands, face and space.
> They must also adhere to the rule of six.

If you can read that sentence without picturing six people having sex inside a
giant plastic bubble, you have more mental discipline that I do.

> The Prime Minister’s official spokesman told a briefing of Westminster
> journalists: “The rules on household mixing in Tier 2 set out that you should
> mix with your own household only unless you’ve formed a support bubble and
> that obviously does apply to some couples.”
> 
> Asked why there was no exemption for people in established relationships in
> Tier 2, he replied: “Because the purpose of the measures that were put in
> place is to break the chain in transmission between households and the
> scientific advice is there is greater transmission of the virus indoors.”

Well, there’s a simple solution, then: have sex outdoors. Or better yet, tell
the government officials to go @#$% themselves.

Another bed-wetter politician is introduced to the Constitution

Since the beginning of the “pandemic,” Governor Whitmer of Michigan has been
competing with other governors to see who could issue the most arbitrary and
useless lockdown restrictions. (If you can explain why buying alcohol and
lottery tickets doesn’t spread COVID while buying garden seeds does, I’m all
ears.) She’s also been competing to see who could be the biggest hypocrite among
the political bed-wetters: after she ordered citizens of Michigan not to visit
their vacation homes, her husband traveled to their vacation home. He had to
rake the leaves, ya see, so it was okay.

Anyway, the state’s Supreme Court recently introduced Whitmer to a document
called The Constitution:

> Michigan’s Supreme Court ruled Friday that Gov. Gretchen Whitmer lacks the
> authority to extend or declare states of emergency in relation to the COVID-19
> pandemic.
> 
> In a 4-3 majority opinion, the state’s high court said she did not have that
> authority.

Three judges thought it was okay for Whitmer to decide which businesses can stay
open and which ones will fail by government decree? Doesn’t the Constitution
guarantee equal protection under the law? That decision should have been 7-0.

> “We conclude that the Governor lacked the authority to declare a ‘state of
> emergency’ or a ‘state of disaster’ under the EMA after April 30, 2020, on the
> basis of the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, we conclude that the EPGA is in
> violation of the Constitution of our state because it purports to delegate to
> the executive branch the legislative powers of state government– including its
> plenary police powers– and to allow the exercise of such powers indefinitely,”
> wrote Justice Stephen J. Markman on behalf of the majority.
> 
> Whitmer responded to the decision calling it “deeply deeply disappointing, and
> I vehemently disagree with the court’s interpretation of the Michigan
> Constitution.”

Well, yes, The Anointed are always deeply disappointed when the little people
refuse to bend the knee, give up their freedoms, and go along with the latest
Grand Plan.

Stay in lockdown until the miracle vaccine comes along!

Uh, no. I’m not going to get a vaccine that will be rushed through the testing
process. This article in the U.K. Times explains why:

> Sixty people are to receive a multimillion-pound payout from the government
> after they suffered brain damage caused by a swine flu vaccine.
> 
> Most of the victims are children but they also include six health workers.
> Peter Todd, a lawyer representing many sufferers, said the government would
> face a bill of at least £60m — £1m for each victim.
> 
> “There has never been a case like this before,” he said. “The victims of this
> vaccine have an incurable and lifelong condition and will require extensive
> medication.”
> 
> Six million British people, mostly children, received the vaccine following
> the swine flu scare in 2009. It was later revealed that the vaccine can cause
> severe epilepsy-type symptoms, called narcolepsy and cataplexy, in up to one
> in 16,000 recipients.

Yes, those are low odds – one in 16,000. But given my age, good health habits,
etc., I’m pretty sure the odds of me dying from COVID are even lower.

But the odds that idiotic government policies will drive me insane are
increasing daily.

CORONA BED-WETTERS SONG

Tom Naughton    October 15, 2020 October 15, 2020    40 Comments on Corona
Bed-Wetters Song

Pardon the absence.  I was gone for a few days to attend The Older Brother’s
Oldest Son’s wedding, but mostly I’ve been busy working on this:



If you share my sentiments about the bed-wetters, please pass it around.  The
song is also available on iTunes and Apple Music.

The wedding was in Illinois, so the wedding party was limited to 50 people. 
How’s this for bed-wetter logic?  The outdoor facility could have legally hosted
two weddings with 50 people per tent, but they weren’t allowed to split a single
wedding party with 100 people into two tents.  So The Oldest Son and his fiancee
had to tell dozens of people not to attend.  Welcome to Bed-Wetter Land,
otherwise known as America in 2020.

Bed-wetter issues aside, it was a lovely outdoor wedding and reception.  It was
nice to see people happily sharing a bar, a dining area and a dance floor
without wearing masks.  I tweeted about that, and of course the bed-wetters
jumped in to tell me how irresponsible the event was.

Yeah, I guess the three doctors attending the wedding should have warned us
about our suicidal behavior … but they were too busy enjoying themselves.

BED-WETTER POLITICIANS GET INTRODUCED TO THE CONSTITUTION

Tom Naughton    September 21, 2020 September 21, 2020    58 Comments on
Bed-Wetter Politicians Get Introduced To The Constitution

I’ve been saying since April that lockdowns are worthless and will end up doing
more harm than good. I’ve also wondered (more to myself than on the blog) how
all this authoritarian overreach can possibly be constitutional.



We have a constitutional right to assemble, but governors and mayors have
ordered people not to assemble (unless they’re BLM protestors).  We have a
constitutional right to equal protection under the law, but governors and mayors
have taken it upon themselves to order some stores to close while allowing
others to remain open … not to mention (again) creating different rules just for
BLM protestors. There’s no clause in the Constitution that says government
officials can violate any of the rights enumerated here if a scary virus starts
spreading.

I didn’t go looking for this video, but since I’ve run lots of searches on
coronavirus lately, it showed up in my YouTube feed. Andrew Napolitano, the
retired Superior Court judge being interviewed here, has been a staunch defender
of civil liberties for years, regardless of which party tries to violate those
liberties. He says exactly what I’ve been thinking about all this lockdown
nonsense.



But … but … the virus! It’s scary! We need to violate liberties to stop the
spread!

Look, if that’s what you’re about to say, stop and think about it:  do you
really want to go down that road? Because if we do, it means any time
politicians want to violate our civil liberties, all they have to do is point to
some threat – real, imagined, or exaggerated – and say it’s very, very
dangerous, and we’re doing this to protect you. That’s how we ended up with the
$#@%ing Patriot Act.

I’ve been waiting for someone to start suing the lockdown fascists for violating
our constitutional rights. Well, good news: a judge in Pennsylvania ruled on one
such lawsuit last week:



That’s one. I hope many, many similar lawsuits and rulings follow.

But … but … the virus! It’s scary! I don’t care about the Constitution; I want
more lockdowns so I don’t catch it!

If that’s how you feel, there’s a simple solution that doesn’t require violating
other people’s rights to assemble, to open or patronize a business, to travel,
etc., etc.

It’s called LOCK YOURSELF DOWN AND LEAVE THE REST OF US ALONE.

EDUCATING BED-WETTERS

Tom Naughton    September 10, 2020 September 11, 2020    68 Comments on
Educating Bed-Wetters

A few days ago, I tweeted that coronahysteria has been useful for helping my
daughter narrow down her list of colleges: she’s eliminating the ones that are
currently closed or remote-only because it means the school is run by
bed-wetting weenies who don’t actually care about educating the students.

That one got a few hundred likes and a few dozen retweets. But of course, a
couple of college perfessors had to chime in to say their schools are
remote-only right now – to protect the students! – and I really needed to teach
my daughter to respect the science and blah-blah-blah.

Oh, dear.

One of the perfessors replied:

Sorry to lose a student to it, as it appears they could use some critical
thinking skills to overcome their parents ignorance.

That’s the exact quote. Fascinating … we have a college professor who doesn’t
know the singular student isn’t a plural they, and doesn’t know how to use the
plural possessive case for parents ignorance. Talk about ignorance. There’s a
school we’ll avoid.

The other perfessor teaches nutrition (and we all how rigorously scientific that
field is), and informed me that my daughter was missing out, because she and the
other perfessors have spent hundreds of hours learning new, cutting-edge
teaching strategies.

Ah, well, if it’s new and cutting-edge, it simply must be better. You all
remember how New Math and Whole-Language English classes led to generations of
Americans highly proficient in math and able to construct grammatically correct
sentences.

I replied:

I appreciate the college teachers who are chiming in to publicly claim their
bed-wetter status. We can scratch their schools off the list.

Now, you’d think that would clue the nutrition perfessor that arguing it’s not
safe for students to be in class would only further convince me to avoid her
school. But no, she kept thinking she could persuade me. So I replied:

I appreciate you making the extra effort, but you’ve already established
yourself as a bed-wetter whose school we’ll avoid. No need to keep proving the
point.

That didn’t stop her. Instead, she adopted a condescending attitude I’ve found
to be strangely common among nutrition perfessors. It goes something like this:
I have a PhD in nutrition, and therefore I’m a real scientist, so I must educate
this ignorant plebe.

That always goes over really well with me.

The perfessor kept trying to convince me that of course schools should be
remote-only, because THE CASES, THE CASES, THE CASES! The CASES keep going up!

When I replied that college-age kids are at almost no risk whatsoever from
COVID, the perfessor replied sure, that may be true, but if they go to classes,
they’ll spread the disease! The medical system will be overwhelmed! The only
safe course is keep them out of school!

I replied with a link to the latest casedemic video by Ivor Cummins. Here it is,
in case you haven’t seen it:



The video is 37 minutes, but the perfessor replied in roughly two minutes, which
of course means she didn’t watch it. Nonetheless, she felt qualified to dismiss
it. She replied that the notion that cases are rising because of massive testing
is yesterday’s smokescreen. Yes, she wrote that.

I replied:

She’s a teacher, but tries to dismiss facts and data anyone can look up with
“that’s yesterday’s smokescreen.” And she wonders why I wouldn’t send my
daughter to her school. Sorry, we prefer schools with teachers who are critical
thinkers capable of making rational arguments.

After more back-and-forth — with her reneging on at least two promises to slow
it down and make just ONE more effort to educate me on the very real threat we
face because of THE CASES, THE CASES, THE CASES! — I’d finally had enough. I
won’t italicize or number my thread of responses.  Here it is:

———————————————————————–

Since you don’t have the brains to stop proudly claiming your status as a
bed-wetter, I’ll slow this down and explain it for you ONE last time. College
kids are at near zero-risk from COVID. So you duck that with “but it’s to
protect other people!”

There’s no evidence of young, healthy, asymptomatic people spreading the disease
to others. There’s some speculation by professional bed-wetters, but no actual
evidence. If the families of college kids feel at risk, they can dealt with it.

So based on no threat to the college kids, and no known threat to the people in
their lives, you and the other bed-wetters have decided to go with remote-only
teaching, depriving students of the most enjoyable aspect of college: life on
campus with other students.

Is that to benefit the students? No, it’s clear to anyone with a half a brain
it’s to benefit yourselves. By gosh, you LIKE not having to show up in the
classroom, so you keep peddling b.s. about how this is saving lives through some
mechanism not supported by any evidence.

And you keep peddling b.s. about those CUTTING-EDGE! teaching strategies to
convince yourselves you’re not depriving the students. Here’s a CUTTING-EDGE!
strategy that’s proved its value over the centuries: get your lazy ass into the
classroom and teach face-to-face.

Laughably, schools expect parents to pay full price for their kids to receive a
remote “education” that could be replaced by any online teaching service already
in existence. Keep it up; you’re proving yourselves unnecessary and it will come
back to bite you.

Doubly laughably, you keep trying to convince us this is all about safety,
doncha know. And yet schools have remained open in many other countries with no
rise in hospitalizations or deaths. The “it’s to protect people!” b.s. won’t
fly, no matter how many “cases” you cite.

And yet here you are, apparently thinking if you just link to this or that bit
of nonsense, you’re going to convince me that by gosh, it really IS about
protecting people! … even though college kids are at no risk. You wildly
overestimate your powers of persuasion.

If you were actually intelligent, you would have realized days ago that every
argument you make in favor of keeping your school closed is further evidence
that you’re a bed-wetter who doesn’t care about the students, and thus someone
to avoid like the plague — a real plague.

So the bottom line: any teacher not elderly or otherwise in real danger who
argues for remote-only learning is a selfish, lazy slob who doesn’t mind
depriving students of a true college experience, as long as it’s convenient for
her. That’s a “teacher” parents will avoid.

———————————————————————–

End of the thread.

The word is slowly getting out: lockdowns didn’t do diddly … well, other than
bankrupt countless businesses, vaporize countless jobs, and send the economy
into a tailspin. Here are some quotes from an article in ZeroHedge:

Lockdowns are causing far more harm than good. They’re not saving lives. And yet
many people whose jobs aren’t currently in danger want to stay in lockdown and
keep schools closed for the simple reason that they’ve gotten used to working
strictly from home and think it’s awesome. So they’ll look for any reason to say
the threat is still HUUUUUGE, and by gosh, we just can’t go back to normal yet.

So let’s thank the teachers who publicly insist on keeping their classrooms
closed. They’ve let us know they don’t give a rat’s ass about what’s best for
the students, so we know to avoid them.
