Goalposts With Wheels

 The Hill's Kim Iversen tackled the subject of vaccine skepticism in a rather sober analysis.  She makes a pretty good case for blaming our leaders on the polarization over the Covid-19 vaccines as she traces the conflicting messages spewed forth since the pandemic began.  Watch for yourself and make up your own mind.

Thanks for this KF. Nobody was screaming or talking over the other.

Really wish the narrative would quit focusing on the buzzword "antivaxxer" as if there are really that many. The truth is the unknown of such a young untested product. The truth is not knowing if your blood runs slow or that you may have unknown heart condition. The truth is knowing you had Covid ..built antibodies and moved on with your life. This jab isn't one size fits all. That truth is the main truth.

The trust is it's not really about the virus.

I found an interesting subreddit the other day which follows the social media posts of anti vaxxers as they post about the vaccine, mask mandates, Fauci, and every other nonsense propaganda all the way until their death. If anyone is interested, it’s a good read: https://www.reddit.com/r/HermanCainAward

If a source of information is anti-vaccine or anti-natural immunity, I immediately find another source of information.

It was all pretty good until Blue Girl asserted at the end that if you are opposed to vaccine and masks that you are "pro-virus."

The media cannot seem to resist demonizing those who don't agree with it's narrative.

@8:46am All valid concerns early on but now that the data is robust I don't think theres much of an argument to be had on whether or not they are safe, if they help, or if you should get one. Remember, any data on strength of natural immunity vs. vaccine is going to be inherently skewed. Building natural immunity is predicated on surviving the first round of Covid-19, 4 million didn't, where as the vaccine is trying to prevent people from dying. Data isn't looking like those who have been infected will need a shot for a while but anyone who hasn't should get one, especially those at higher risk (the trouble is a lot of younger people don't realize when theyre at higher risk, which is one reason why we preach universal vaccination)

Says the anti-vaxxer.

Why don’t you ask Kim Wade what he thinks?

Oh. Wait.

2:10 ...another one who is ignoring the CDC data about the vaccine and the vaxxed !! They are not working to keep folks from being bit again and now they are saying the vax is no longer helping the "at risk" folks in many cases. So in your self righteous big brain do some science with that.

2:44 PM Mind providing a source along with your wild claim? I'm going to assume, since obviously what you said is not true at all, that you are mischaracterizing fairly logical information.
2 things, since I'm going to assume your a "natural immunity guy"

Natural immunity is predicated on you surviving the disease the first round, many do not.
The vaccines attempt to provide protections for those who would have died from infection. Obviously in some, rare, cases these people unfortunately do still die. This is not common

"...from being bit again" I'm...well honestly I don't really follow your line of thought here...if you mean it doesn't reduce the risk of you getting it significantly, that's absolutely false. If you mean it doesn't reduce your risk of transmitting it, that is also absolutely false. People seized on "vaccinated can still spread", while this means what it means, it does not mean vaccinated people are as likely as unvaccinated to spread the disease, it significantly helps reduce this chance.

9:19 : No, it doesn't reduce the chance ! I got the stupid sh!t from a vaxxed person. And beat it with my own good health and a diet of D3 , ZINC and C ......SO MANY HERE MUST BE DRUG REPS .

2:10. Waiting to make a decision on an experimental vaccine without a clear history of long-term safety is not being "anti-vax." Strange how the education level most resistant to getting stuck are Ph.D's. Maybe they know something you don't. Actually, I bet they know a lot of things you don't.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.
