I've come to the conclusion that we as a society are, in general, too dumb and too enchanted by the latest bs conspiracy theories to come in out of the rain.

So, in the immortal words of Fear's "Let's have a War"

There's too many of us!
 
Tonight's Saturday Night Movie is Tarus Bulba.

The spectacular hordes of Cossack horsemen flying across the steppes to do battle with first one enemy and then another are the highlights of this otherwise thinly scripted costume drama set in the 16th century in the Ukraine. After the Cossack leader Taras Bulba (Yul Brynner) makes a pact with the Poles to join forces against the Turks and drive them from the European steppes, victory brings betrayal as the Poles then turn on their ally and force the Cossacks into the hills. From there, Taras Bulba decides that one of his sons, Andrei (Tony Curtis), will be sent to Polish schools to better learn the nature of their enemy. While away from home and hearth, the adult Andrei falls in love with a Polish noblewoman, Natalia (Christine Kaufmann, who would become the second Mrs. Curtis). As time progresses, the tensions between father and son, loyalty and love, ethnic identity and assimilation steadily increase until they end in tragedy. Taras Bulba was nominated for a 1963 Academy Award for "Best Music", scored by Franz Waxman.

 
I've received the latest COVID vaccine, this year's influenza vaccine, and the PPV23 (pneumococcal) vaccine — all free of charge where I live. Each year, I receive an email informing me when vaccines are available and which ones are recommended based on my age and health situation. I simply show up at the local hospital at the assigned time, get the shots, enjoy a cup of coffee or tea, and wait for 20 minutes before leaving.

Throw lazy into the mix.
I’ve been meaning to get vaccinated for a while now, but something always comes up. So I put it off. Too late now because I have Covid. My wife works with several people that don’t “believe “ in Covid. This sucks.

Most of my coworkers don't believe in it. My employer offered a bonus (I think that it was $1,000) to get the vaccine when it first came out. If 85% of us got vaccinated we got the money and if 84.999% of us, or fewer, got vaccinated, we got nothing.

We got nothing.

HR told me that 45% showed proof of vaccination.
 

A group of high-level managers at the Louisiana Department of Health walked into a Nov. 14 meeting in Baton Rouge expecting to talk about outreach and community events.

Instead, they were told by an assistant secretary in the department and another official that department leadership had a new policy: Advertising or otherwise promoting the COVID, influenza or mpox vaccines, an established practice there — and at most other public health entities in the U.S. — must stop.

Good grief, people are absolutely stupid when it comes to vaccines. It's like they've never taken a biology or health class.

If they want to wreck their bodies, their choice I suppose.

I suspect this could fit into the updated Darwin theories that take survival of the fittest to a genetic level. If you think about humans as simply natural organisms rather than beings given divine mandate over the universe then, like a virus has branches that burn out due to their incompatibility with reality so to will the human race.

If that's right, then this is a correction. Humanity has grown leaps and bounds. However, growth is not always linear. This could be the accelerated last gasp of a fading lineage.

Unfortunately, it's not just those who refuse to be vaccinated who will be affected. Vulnerable individuals unable to be vaccinated due to illness or allergies will suffer just as much. Additionally, medical personnel will bear the burden, risking their health as they care for those who choose ignorance over protection.
