(from The Premonition: A Pandemic Story by Michael Lewis)

". . . I am still having issues in VA with leaders avoiding the use of the term pandemic and then not wanting to implement key portions of the VA pandemic plan because this is not a pandemic," he wrote. "They will not say that word or use that word . . . They expect to see the term pandemic used by CDC and WHO. CDC continues to say this is not a pandemic . . . My response is that a pandemic is not defined by what is happening in the US - it is defined by what is happening across the world (pan=all, demic=people). . . I know that this is not CDC's intent but it is creating problems for bureaucrats who suffer from malignant obedience." . . . He and Richard and others had spent years creating and selling the ideas that would, if quickly seized upon, prevent a lot of Americans from dying. Those ideas were useful, and yet no one in authority seemed willing to use them. "We were going nuts," said Carter. . . "

Demurred . . .

(from https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/17/us/politics/coronavirus-vaccines-republicans.html)

". . . After Sherri Tenpenny, a Cleveland-area doctor, falsely suggested during a hearing last month in the Ohio House of Representatives that Covid vaccines left people “magnetized” and could “interface” with 5G cellular towers, Republican lawmakers thanked her for her “enlightening” testimony. . .“We don’t control conservative media figures so far as I know — at least I don’t,” Senator Mitt Romney, Republican of Utah, told The New York Times recently. . . ". . . I think it’s an enormous error for anyone to suggest that we shouldn’t be taking vaccines.” . . . Anti-vaccination sentiment isn’t new to Republican voters. During the 2016 Republican presidential primary race, a number of candidates, including Donald J. Trump, repeated debunked theories that vaccines caused autism in children. Around that time, Republican state legislators began opposing laws that would tighten vaccine requirements for children. . . As Covid cases across the country rise, nearly all recent hospitalizations and deaths have occurred among unvaccinated people, White House officials have said. . . Mr. Trump has eagerly taken credit for the accelerated development process of the vaccines, and has urged Americans to get vaccinated. (He did, however, quietly receive a vaccine in private before he left office, rather than hold a public event for the shot that might have encouraged his supporters to follow his lead.) . . .Less than a week later, Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican minority leader, encouraged Americans to get vaccinated, citing his experience as a childhood survivor of polio. . . “We have not one, not two, but three highly effective vaccines, so I’m perplexed by the difficulty we have finishing the job,” he said. . . Yet when asked by a reporter whether some of the challenge could stem from the words of members of his own party, Mr. McConnell demurred. . ."

Buying Power . . .

https://www.istockphoto.com/photos/buying

So I said,

I've got a roof o'er my head.

Some people can't even say the same thing.

But it's still not a fact

I can take any comfort in.

I want more to make up my legacy.

I'm not poor but everybody's telling me

Money can't buy everything.

You've heard it time again.

No money can't buy happiness.

When will you learn this fact of life my friend?

So I said,

I've got my very own bed.

I don't give it much thought

When I lay down my head.

But it's cold and it's lonely

In December on the street.

Why do you tell me these kinds of things.

I want more of luxuries that wealth can bring.

I want to be a squire a king a country gentleman

If I can if I can.

I want to get respect for what I have

And not for what I am,

Just a man, just a man.

So I said,

It's more than daily bread

That I'm talking about.

Can't you hear what I said?

You see, everything changes

But we have to admit,

What exists needs to be recognized,

Not merely out of our fear of being chastised.

Thousands . . .

. . . of Apologies!

To all readers of this blog I offer the sincerest and most-heartfelt of apologies. I have just discovered that the email address on my profile with Blogger is (long-ago) incorrect. I have not been (purposely) rude or unfeeling. I am not too busy to acknowledge or respond. I am not arrogant nor self-indulgent. My ego is

no bigger than that of most folks.

I truly am so, so, sorry. You will find that the email address listed is accurate and will now work.

So I hope you will drop me a line, follow this blog and, most of all,

Forgive me!

I'm Sorry
- Brenda Lee
