These people are a threat to public health and safety of the community. They are acting like toddlers and need to be treated as such.

You're given an ipod with all of Obama's speeches on it and you have to listen to them all in their entirety. You have to pass a test once you've listened to them all and you need to get at least an 85% or you have to listen to them all again.

I’ll tell you what, Bob, let me see if I can help you out here. Perhaps you’ve heard that correlation is not causation. A fairly self-explanatory statement, perhaps you’ve heard it before.

Maybe conservative people support Trump for the same reason they look skeptically at the vaccine. Maybe they think for themselves, as opposed to blindly trusting others. I happen to believe that liberals are more inclined to believe whatever bull**** you throw their direction, thus the success that CNN had during the Trump administration. There wasn’t a more unreliable news network on television, they literally made **** up that they knew was not true, but their audience bought it hook line and sinker, every day for years.

I have learned that you can’t believe much of anything that the media puts forth. The situation is the same with the government, I don’t believe for a New York minute anything that the CDC puts out, without questioning it first. Liberals seem to eat that up.

Liberals are also far more terrified of Covid than conservatives. That’s because they don’t think, they just buy the bull****.

Think hard Bob, you’ll get there.

Pay attention. When the CDC says one thing, then later on changes their guidance to something diametrically opposed to the first position, you have to wonder why. When they get caught fudging the numbers, ask yourself if that hurt their credibility. Later, when they are tracking some numbers that start to trend away from the administration’s preferred narrative, then they decide out of the blue to quit tracking those numbers, ask yourself with their purpose might be.

Anybody that pays attention can figure those things out.

Smugness my foot. Purely transactional. We pay you to serve and protect- us and yourselves. Being the white shirt pencil pusher you claim to be, tell me how you are protecting your minions without requiring about the most simple piece of the protection puzzle there is? Would you cover their workmans comp claim if they didn't wear all the PPE on a medical call. How about letting them go into a fire without their bunkers or on air? Lets see you truthfully fill out claim form where the first thing they ask is whether or not you took all available precautions. Building consensus on a life safety issue? What a joke your fire scenes must look like.
Act like a leader instead of letting your political BS take over.

That does not change your lack of ability to question the better educated on the subject. Or maybe your point to cab was absolute bunk. Hmmmm, I wonder.
