It's not just about you, Pavement Princess F-150 owner. Shellac understands this, because Steve, Todd and Bob are mensches. Same goes for Einsturzende Neubaten, who keep rescheduling and canceling gigs. Garth Brooks, Foo Fighters (playing in Anchorage at a moment when there are no ICU beds left!), GnR, Lolla, Pitchfork...are all gonna have blood on their hands at the end of this. Fuck them.

When people end up at this point, wtf do you even say to them as their therapist? mio dio

His August 7th concert at Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium featured an on-site vaccination clinic presented by the stadium and city officials. Only 35 concert-goers opted to get vaccinated at the clinic, according to the Kansas City Health Department.

Obviously getting a shot right before an event isn't how vaccines are meant to work, and certainly some of the 70,000 people there were already vaccinated but I guarantee it wasn't 69,965 of them.

That's both fucking outrageous, and wholly unsurprising.

My comments regarding the FDA were not meant to imply that I think the FDA is bad. Re-reading my comments, I don’t know see how that came across, but nonetheless, my comments are directed at people saying “I’m not getting the shot because it’s not 100% approved.” My response to this sentiment is “Fuck you, you’re lying. Until now, you have never cared whether a drug was 100% authorized by the FDA, nor did you know there were processes for emergency approval. You can’t even explain to me what “off label” is, you’re just picking a data point to support a conclusion you’ve already made. When it’s approved, you’ll grab another dumb excuse from your bullshit idea buffet to point to as a reason not to use it, so again, fuck you for wasting my time.”

If someone wants to point to evidence that the vaccines do not work as designed, or that there are side effects that are worse than covid and it’s impacts, ok. Let’s chat. But if you’re just regurgitating garbage from the trashweb, then fuck you for thinking I haven’t heard and dismissed it before.
