• Swanson Tucker Carlson, good socialist friend of Brazilian 0.1 percenter Glenn Greenwald, is good at "just asking (RHETORICAL) questions." (Glennwald ain't so bad at it himself.
On vaccinations, he's trying to get people killed. I know most of the debunking of him without even reading the debunking at the WaPost link. VAERS is indeed a self-reporting system. Can't be verified. Adverse effects can mean anything. (In addition, Twitter had trending yesterday that Carlson himself is reportedly vaccinated. If true, that makes him a Pander Bear for ratings, not an antivaxxer. Not sure which is ethically worse.)
On post-vaccination deaths? Correlation ain't necessarily causation.
And, per Aaron Blake, given that COVID has shown itself, by raw death numbers, to be 10X as deadly as the seasonal flu, comparing COVID and flu deaths ain't even apples and oranges; it's apples and bocce balls.
• Yessiree, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has joined other #BlueMAGA Democrats like California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Austin Mayor Steve Adler as among coronavirus hypocrites.
This one is really fun. She visited her reportedly deathly ill dad
- While not being vaccinated;
- By getting Michigan big bucks businesscritters to line up a charter jet instead of going through charter rental systems;
- And since then, won't say whether her office or personal account reimbursed them;
- But spent twice as long in Flor-i-duh as first admitted;
- Yet later told Michiganders not to visit Florida;
- And saw her dad make a miracle recovery from his "chronic illness."
Oh, Deadline Detroit does NOT appear to be one of those wingnut fake newspaper/news sites. In fact, its founders have some serious journalism chops. So, shut up, BlueMAGA.
Update, May 24: Whitmer has now been busted maskless without her state-mandated social distancing at a bar and grill and of course BlueMAGA is defending her. Undercutting them? She has apologized.
