I own a small shop, and a big part of our business is teaching classes. Obviously, we haven’t been holding classes for the past year. I have been letting our customers know that classes will resume late summer or early fall, but they will be required to wear a mask, and show their vaccination card.

So far, every single person I’ve told this to has been excited to know that they will be safe taking classes in my shop. I had one customer email me that she would not attend classes because she will not take the vaccine. It has aborted baby parts in it, didn’t I know? I’m certainly not going to be changing my policy for her or anyone else. You’re totally right about this. It’s going to be a big part of my marketing campaign when we’re ready.

India is having to use so much wood to cremate their dead that they are considering cutting down trees in park areas. It got me thinking that maybe the two authoritarian buttholes - Modi and Bolsonaro - could join forces by using some of those rainforest trees that “Bossanova” wants to rid his country of.

This makes my jaw drop and it really ups the danger of people like this spouting off crap like this.

With virtually everyone having had the capability of getting the Vaccine. Remove the requirement of the health insurance companies and Medicare to cover the medical costs of people that get Covid and have not gotten the vaccine. Seems only fair.

I was talking to a neighbor the other day that told me she was not going to get it because they did not know enough about it. I asked how much did they know about the polio vaccine when the entire nation got it in the 50's and beyond.

Totally right. That’s what we have experts for. To explain to us about the things we are not qualified to evaluate for ourselves. Sadly, Faux News has eroded our concept of what an expert is, so people can’t even evaluate whose information to believe. :-(
