When school starts in a few weeks, students, staff, and visitors in all K-12 schools throughout Virginia will need to wear a face mask. So orders State Health Commissioner M. Norman Oliver.

According to a recent NYT article.. and take that with a grain of salt and skepticism of course…. only 27 percent of black New Yorkers are vaccinated. They stated their opposition was because they didn’t trust the government in these uncertain times and felt that it was experimenting on them.
Discuss Eric. Bad Florida… understandable and we should be respectful of this point of view. To the point that black people should be exempt from any sort of vaccine mandates at schools, businesses etc…
One last issue for the vaccination… which is the most troubling possibility….
Don’t succumb to the stupidity of thinking that the so called “experts” know WTF they are talking about here. Covid and the MrNA vax is one big old experiment. Think differently? Oddly enough the FDA still hasn’t approved the vax… WHAT??? That is because it was put into general use instead of the usual long and winding process… so it is still shall we say experimental.
Now here is the real troubling possibility… that the covid virus undergoes antibody enhancement development. It is now coming to light that the vaccination doesn’t kill the virus dead on contact with humans. And variants are leaping around since the alpha version… AED means that the vaccinated could be a host for the virus to mutate and to a very different form of the virus that well could be even worse. So far not clear about this and it isn’t happening yet… but harken back to the days when WHO and Fauci said things like
Covid is not community spread
No need to restrict travel
The virus did not come from WVI
Masks are not effective
Stay Six feet apart!
If you get the Covid shot you won’t get covid
To name a few. If you see that CDC director start to high pitch keen and squeal on camera and about to take a nervous breakdown… I would head for the fallout bunker. By the time she admits that we have a problem Houston… it means that Covid Omega is here.
Thus, the only answer is treatment – and the trolls hate treatment.
Yes… because there’s no money in those cheap readily available treatments. Pfizer a company that supports Corrupt Joe and his little Humper Biden, doesn’t make billions from that. Pfizer withheld its results from the intitial virus to help their buddy Joe.
Did you know that when Biden left the VP, he was going to start a foundation to cure CANCER!! He hired a lot of former Pfizer Execs for the administrative staff and he spent ZERO on actually funding research…
The Swamp in action.
But to your point… yes they need to ramp up the treatment research fast… the Vax is failing already.
Read the liberal comments on Covid. It amounts to blaming conservatives for the disease. They used it on Trump every day. The stinking media essentially blamed Trump for killing people…. but called Touch and Feel Cuomo a Hero…. A guy who it seems might have been doing the usual Democrat Uni party thing of directing contracts for putting covid patients in nursing homes.
Cuomo did kill people!
How do you guys like that vaccine developed by TRUMP via Operation Warp Speed? Remember when the Great Kamala blew crap at the effort?
Then we have the Deep State that liberals love so much circling the wagons around NIH and Fauci’s funding of the Wuhan Lab… and censoring and deplatforming anyone who questioned that. I guess because they didn’t want Trump to be right.
This country is beyond repair for sure… but it is aggravating the continuing politiciziation of this stupid virus… a virus that is the cold virus…
Here some science for you guys… the coronavirus is perhaps the most successful virus in the hsitory of the world.
Mask away. Vax away.. shutdown away… it has a spread rate and virulence that cannot be stopped no matter how much CONservatives are in your way.
In 1938, the NAZIs claimed that the Jews, living in dirty conditions, were the source of disease problems. The NAZIs isolated the Jews and concentrated them in accordance with medical directives. History repeats itself with the democrat socialists.
I said something similar to my wife a few days ago. My conspiracy theory is that the federal government knows COVID is an escaped bio-weapon that will continue to mutate. They don’t want to say this openly, because taking down China for its role in causing millions of deaths changes the entire globalist world order. Instead, Marxists like Herr Eric will blame Conservatives for its spread so that, when a more virulent mutation flares up, they will pin blame on their political enemies a la the Reichstag.
Thank you, Conservatives for giving Covid new life. You all undermined the vaccine relentlessly and gave us the Delta variant as a result. Hospitalizations are way up thanks to you. Now we are back to masking everywhere… thanks to you.
Conservatives gave the virus new life? No imbecile… Delta came from India moron. The other versions are from Colombia, South Africa etc. Pea Brain…. the vaccines don’t work on them with great efficacy. The vaccinated immune system is still shedding the delta variant like mad… lots of viral load in the vaccinated.
That Columbian variant? It will soon be all over Central America. People like you don’t want to stop the flow of immigration do you??? The border under you stupid corrupt President is wide open with hundreds of thousands pouring across to a town near you… You don’t seem to be bothered by that are you?
Funny how you want to blame someone for a cold family virus that really cannot be stopped. Maybe you might want to look at St Fauci and his activities with Peter Dazsak in funding the Wuhan Viral Institute.
Did you know that Fauci funded that lab after NIH put a moratorium on engaging in gain of function activities… they then required a protocol for reviewing labs getting this funding. the WVI funding was not included in this review… they got their money without it.
But let’s blame conservatives! In reality you open border liberals in blue cities brought that virus to the bill billies… the Virginia outbreak began in Fairfax, not Lyncburg… You guys spread it to America… Hate has no home in Fairfax but Covid did…
Actually, Stoner, the spread of even the Delta variant is slowed in the vaccinated population. The new cases and new hospitalizations (which is what is driving new mask mandates) is by far among the unvaccinated. The Delta variant may have come from another country (is it India this week in wacko rightwing world?) but Conservatives intentionally undermined the only weapon we have against it. Further, the real threat is comes from a new variant… the unvaccinated Right is just the petri dish it is looking for. Don’t try to rewrite history. You own it!!
Actually Pea Brain, slowing is not the same as eradicating it like the small pox vaccination does. It means that the vax isn’t the small pox version which if it were, you would be right in condemning people for not getting it….
The point of saying it was from India you fool… is that even if you vaxxed every man woman and child in the US… a’ mutated version from around the world can be here by tomorrow.
Oh by the way… that mutated version that orginated in India has already put vaccinated people in the hospital… yes it might prevent them from dying… but you have gone from GET Vaxxed so it will prevent you form getting covid to now… well you it might prevent bad outcomes… but some people have already died being even tripled vaxxed in Israel…
Oh on more thing Eric since we are on it… black people are very resistant to the vax… one of the demographics not vxxed. It is poorer people who dont’ get vaxed… not conservatives or liberals… And some people who were anti vax from before covid… often liberal mothers who thought vaccinations caused autism…
So blame away. It is a good way for people like you to cope with covid… Covid is not going away. It is a cold virus moron… one of the best mutating viruses in the history of the world.
Stoner, have you not been following your Conservative blogs? The rule of the day is to undermine the vaccine and blame the variant on immigrants (not blacks and the poor). You need to get with the program. Once again, thanks for supplying the Delta variant with just the opportunity it needed to take off. Now we are back to square one… wearing masks to school and the good “Dr” selling his snake oil cures.
Eric… where is your half witted brother, Old Redneck? I have taken a hiatus from this blog, but you never do. He was here by the hour when I left… Did your friend Jeanine ban him again? Well as much as I can’t stand you two schmucks, I hope he isn’t sick with covid. He claims to be a Vietnam vet and that would put him in the very at risk age group.
No this virus is not conservative or liberal you old dofus. You stop it. I am not blaming anyone… It is reality. There are no borders anymore. The Vax isn’t fully effective. Covid is going to mutate. If it undergoes what I told you above ADE, humanity is For Unlawful Carnal Knowledged….
It wasn’t a partiuclarly lethal virus before… hopefully it keeps getting weaker as virus usually do…. but you don’t know right now.
So Eric… encourage people to be careful but don’t blame everyone.
See you later. I am off for a while Eric.
Stoner, you sound like you are getting soft in your old age. Yes, the virus mutates and that fact is nobody’s fault. This was well known and predicted by the experts. The irresponsible thing was where the Right chose to politicize and then actively undermine the very vaccine that could actually make the difference in bringing this pandemic to an end. It is a fact that while there is some virus transmission by the vaccinated, the population of unvaccinated is where it proliferated and exploded. There is a direct connection between demagoguery on the Right, reduced vaccination rates in the population and spiking Delta variants across the US. That is just reality. What I would really like is, for once, to hear someone here say…yeah, that was probably a bad idea… but I won’t hold my breath. I hope Old Redneck is well and I wish you well also. Hope to see you around these parts again real soon.
Actually it is not Conservatives or any other political demographic of folks giving the “COVID new life” as you so irresponsibly write.
To give you the benefit of doubt on the misinformation that you Democrats are spreading in the media you have the opportunity here at TBE to give us the numbers of vaccinated vs unvaccinated by political party, sex (make believe genders included), race and for giggles go ahead and include registered voters.
Now the actual reason COVID has new life is because Joe Biden either lied about having a COVID Plan or his plan is a complete failure just like your blame placing comments.
My apologies if I hurt your feelings but someone has to get you up to speed.
Mask are working about as well a a chain link fence stops mosquitoes from entering your yard. And it looks like vaccinations are not working either. Lots of people are still getting and spreading covid after the magical jab…. And social distancing isn’t working… lock downs soon! Go ahead I say on the lockdowns… let’s ruin whats left of the economy for Dopey Joe Biden, the Crash Test Dummy with his perverted son helping the family business…
Do it!!! Lock down NOW!!! Run the fear numbers across CNN MSNBC etc …. Get everyone to panic… Biden is killing people!!!!
Might as well get the ruination of this stupid country over with….
There is a great video on vladtepesblog.com done by a doctor. He demonstrates the futility of masks even the heavy industrial ones. Of course, these mask mandates aren’t about safety but about control. The government knows best, and you had better obey or you will be punished.
We have lost sight of the fact that COVID 19 is a CHICOM bioweapon and thus the vaccines to combat it are a form of bioweapon as well
“Doctor” W, you are the reason we have a Delta variant. Stop undermining the vaccine. You are putting people in the hospital again and will end up killing people… again…
People with the vaccine are putting people in the hospital. Wake up to reality!
The situation in Israel is terrible. Upwards of 95% of the COVID hospitalized are vaccinated.
That is absolutely untrue. Israel is not seeing anywhere near that number. Typical of the Conservative drive to undermine the vaccine and, yes David, kill people. So typical.
An Israeli doctor says that the majority of COVID-19 patients hospitalized at his hospital are fully vaccinated and those with severe illness have also been vaccinated.
Talking with Channel 13 TV News on August 5, Dr. Kobi Haviv, medical director of Herzog Hospital in Jerusalem said that “85 to 90 percent of the hospitalizations are in fully vaccinated people,” and “95 percent of the severe patients are vaccinated.” Herzog Hospital specializes in nursing care for the elderly.
Haviv said the rising cases of vaccinated people getting COVID-19, a disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus is because “the effectiveness of the vaccine is waning.”
Data from the Israeli Minister of Health in July suggested that the effectiveness of the Pfizer vaccine in preventing infection and symptomatic illness had dropped from 90 percent to only 39 percent and 41 percent, respectively. However, the levels of protection against severe illness (88 percent) and hospitalization (91.4 percent) remained high.
The Pfizer vaccine has been the only COVID-19 vaccine available for Israelis since it was authorized for use in December 2020. However, the government announced last month that the Moderna vaccine would be offered in August to certain people while the Pfizer vaccine would be reserved for those under 18 years.
Doctor W, you are a liar:
“The number of serious COVID-19 cases in Israel passed 500 on Sunday for the first time since March, amid the current surging coronavirus outbreak.
Health Ministry data showed there were 524 patients in serious condition, with 84 of them on ventilators. In total there were 877 people hospitalized with COVID-19.
Health Ministry data showed that the rate of serious cases was far higher among unvaccinated Israelis aged 60-plus, who constituted 134.1 people per 100,000 in serious condition on Saturday; among the vaccinated the figure was 20, and among the partially vaccinated 35.5”
This was in Section D of Executive Order 79 issued back in May. That EO never expired or was superceded. https://www.governor.virginia.gov/media/governorvirginiagov/executive-actions/EO-79-and-Order-of-Public-Health-Emergency-Ten-Ending-of-Commonsense-Public-Health-Restrictions-Due-to-Novel-Coronavirus(COVID-19).pdf
good idea. The only sensible thing to do
Sic Semper Tyrannus. You might want to check the Virginia motto.
Oh, Christ. On top of that, you are just wrong. Seek anger management
In 1776, Sic Semper Tyrannis was made the Virginia motto. But, since you are devoid of any knowledge of American or Virginia history, this is no surprise.
No… by the logic you are following, they would shut down again. Masks are particularly ineffective for children. They will not wear them correctly and they are in too close a proximity closed in, in schools. Plus six to eight hours in a mask… just doesn’t work for children. Even adults who wear masks correctly in office buildings were still getting the virus. The virus is just too virulent. Then you have the issue of children not being vaxxed yet under 12… it was only approved in limited circumstances… And as the discussion goes, the vaccination isn’t working for delta version very well… Mayo clinic says that the Pfizer version efficacy is dropping. People are still getting hospitalized after vaccination.
Thus it isn’t sensible following your own logic. Not that I agree. Covid is here to stay. You are going to have to just deal with it and hopefully it will turn to being less lethal as viruses often do. That is the best you can hope for. Liberal virtue signaling with masks is useless… they wont’ work in closed environments.
“When school starts in a few weeks…” Not going to happen. The Teachers Unions put in the fix. Virtual school for another year.
Homeschooling nearly doubled to 5,000,000 kids in 2020. Is it any wonder why?
put in the fix??
Yes, John. Lazy teachers want another year of vacation and they will get one courtesy of the Democrat fear-mongering machine.
If the parents and students march on the schools, the administrators will no longer be able to enforce tyranny. Why should anyone pay for this stupidity when it is well understood that masks don’t work and are actually dangerous to kids. this isn’t about science it is just about the worst kind of power politics. The founders warned us about politicians and power. This situation pretty much confirms their concerns.
And the tyranny continues. submit or be punished
