To quote Yul Brynner, who plays the Pharaoh in the Ten Commandments who makes a decree and seals it, saying "So let it be written; so let it be done."

Ha. When my brothers and I saw that on television (we wouldn't have been teenagers yet), that became our catch phrase, with an imperious finger pointed into the sky.

Remind you of more recent MAGA rallies? https://youtu.be/pt9wNQd7LgY

Chest protruding grandly, with one hand firmly attached to the hip. Chin up… I can see it all now. Yikes!

I’ll be lined up to get it. But that still leaves the unvaccinated cretins, so are we looking at a fifth, a sixth, a seventh...

My guess is yes.

From what I’ve seen running errands, watching sporting events on TV, etc. there seems to be an inverse relationship between rising covid numbers and mask wearing. It’s like everyone has decided it’s time to start running red lights at busy intersections.

I’ve heard people criticize Biden for his blunt talk to the unvaccinated saying that the rest of us have to try harder to understand. I am beyond done with that. There’s two roads to freedom from the virus, vaccination or death. Seems like an easy choice.

I’d like to propose this video as a PSA.

I totally support you! These cretins (love that word!) do need to be isolated from the rest of us. I am so sick of people not wearing masks or wearing it under their chin! WTF!

I get my flu shot every year. I'm fine if getting a Covid vaccine every 6 months keeps me alive and out of the hospital. But JFC anti-vaxxers, buy a clue! How many stories of fine, healthy, relatively young, unvaccinated people, famous and not famous, dying of Covid is it going to take?

Eleventy-million. That's an estimate.

Thank you, Governor Campbell; where do I send the campaign check for the next election?

Planned Parenthood. The only what to run a clean campaign is to run a free campaign.

I hadn't at all known, before COVID-19 and COVID vaccines, what a whopping percentage of US adults are apparently incredibly phobic about needles and/or have pain thresholds that seem to me to be subterranean. It's been a shocker to be able to smell these things on so much prose.

I may write you in as my choice in the next election.

Just had to write to the headquarters of a local supermarket because they have the required "The CDC strongly recommends ...." sign on the front doors, and then the (very personable) young man who rang me out was unmasked!!! I told them they had lost my business until I hear that they have require employees to be masked. They got back to me pretty quickly, and it was all corporate speak about following the CDC guidelines. Mr. Lamont needs to step up. Local business leaders need to lead if he will not.

Just found out someone I respected refuses to get the last dose because her "doctor" told her that because she got a Moderna shot, she doesn't need it. Jesus F. Christ. I'm appalled at these people.

Maybe that was in the other five Commandments…

You got my vote. Honestly, I don't know what Lamont is doing. Way too timid in the steps he is willing to take. Scared of the business community? Scared of the right-wingers? I dunno.

Scared of losing some kind of face? Trying to look like we can all get a vote on science? I dunno, either.

And wherefore and stuff! As I should never have been appointed in the first place, I don’t give a rat’s patootie if I’m re-appointed! Don’t care if people like me! Get the damn shot, moron!

I am desperately waiting for the approval for the vax for infants & others under 5. We canceled flights to see my fam last week & I’m considering delaying the trip, especially after learning that my BIL (who’s a nurse) & eligible niece & nephews aren’t vaxed.
