    Scientifically, there’s no way to tell the difference between the antibodies of people who have been sick with COVID and those who have been vaccinated against it, one doctor said.

    How about I run the blood bank. Sounds like free money. Hell yeah I’d charge.

    The election is this November and I have literally never heard of this asshole. He also doesn’t appear to have announced a run. At this point I kinda doubt he will be the next governor. My money is on Drummond, the current attorney general who has announced a run.

      I guess he just declared for lieutenant governor, not the main governor. I follow him a bit because he’s unfortunately attracted the people who are angry about our shitshow of a child welfare system.

      Drummond will probably win, which is goddamn frustrating because he presents himself as a “moderate” when he’s just as raving of a lunatic as the rest of them. (Refusing to press charges on the cop who beat the shit out of that Vietnamese man, not doing shit about Walters…)

    My maxim of “Never trust anyone wearing a cowboy hat that’s not actively riding a horse” still holds true.

      The rat fuckers really love the cowboy aesthetic. But you’ll never see mud on those boots.

      He’s also famous for trying to pass a bill to make schools call animal control on “furries,” and attempting to legalize cockfighting.

    “There’s absolutely no way it can do that,” he said. “These are people who know nothing about science, who know nothing about medicine, that are trying to provide medical laws that make no (sense.)”

    “medical professionals said it’s not reasonable to require blood banks to accurately screen donors for vaccination status. Scientifically, there’s no way to tell the difference between the antibodies of people who have been sick with COVID and those who have been vaccinated against it, one doctor said.”

      Yes. The virus is called “conservatism”.

      Unfortunately, the primary vaccine against conservatism requires near-daily doses for about 14 years, and the virus has gotten control of the purse strings over the “basic secondary education” vaccine development program.

    Severely limiting your donor pool for a critical resource sounds like a profitable venture. What hospital would want that blood? Surely the big banks would beat them on cost alone because of volume.

      This line of thinking works fine up until you consider the innocent children who are having this idiocy forced on them by their parents.
