I know I normally do this, that, and the other regarding Week 17...

I mean, let's be real about all this.

We crossed a Rubicon Monday night.  A player got killed on national television.  That he was brought back (twice) doesn't change that fact.  He's still in critical condition in an ICU in Cincinnati, and the games on Saturday are now about 48 hours away.

There's no fucking way to know what's going to happen with the AFC in any meaningful extent.  There's even a non-zero chance of a one-game Week 19, if it's required -- and it'd be about the only way you could play games this or next weekend, and that's if the players are in any condition to play (and that probably is going to require a significant improvement in Hamlin's condition in the next 48 hours -- or I could easily (and correctly!) see the Raiders and Chiefs walk out Saturday afternoon, warm up, shake hands, and go back to the locker rooms).

And we still have a bunch of right-wing lunatics (I'm looking at you, Karl Denninger, who has called for every NFL player who got the vaccines to get an independent heart test and a lawyer stat...) who believe this was the vaccines.

If you're right, motherfucker, do you have any sensible idea of how "over" this culture and society would be on an instantaneous basis?

Forget the concept of any contact sports at any level, until you kill everyone who took the vaccines in any real amount...  You condemn those who don't understand that there is a line of no-bullshit "shoot 'em all" if certain conditions are met, and then don't realize that "the THUD", as you call it, is well past that line.

Several of your readers have correctly pointed out that, if you are correct, that the 60% of us who are vaccinated (with various amounts of boosting) are not only walking time bombs, we could well "infect" you or, given that we are about to die (in your line of thinking), we have nothing left to lose.

Forget the concept of any meaningful gatherings until you can control the situation in the reverse nature of what had been attempted until you, deliberately, as a political group, derailed the entire process and ensured COVID is going to win.

Forget the concept of having any medical industry at all (of course, that's something you've been trying to get people on your site to understand -- that there will be NO medical industry going forward in any real respect for a significant amount of time).

Forget any real ability of governance at that point.  If they can't control disease and travel and all that in the case of an airborne virus which is demonstrated to kill 1-1.5% of those infected (and yes, I believe the US government is now covering up the death toll by anywhere between a factor of seven and an order of magnitude -- using studies as to how many cases there actually have been plus your own expositions of serious gaps in population and employment data which indicate millions of people have fallen into a hole that can only be fallen into when the person dies), then they have no other right to govern in any respect.

I could go on.  But I leave those who believe either the vaccines are frauds or whatever with one question:

On a Federal basis, people believe I was going to murder Debbie Gibson in May of 1998.  Period-end, full stop.  (And only that belief is sufficient for the charges I pled to in early 1999.)

If the Federal government or any other entity of sufficient power was attempting a mass depopulation situation through the injection of a slow-acting blood-clotting "vaccination", would I not be one of the people that it would be declared in greatest interests that I be killed?

Maybe not #1 on the list, but I'd have to think at least in the first 10 or so million, a number I believe we may well have passed as a COVID death toll.
