Monday Moonbats, Monkeys ‘n Moles …

Again Ten Bears has done it. He posts a longish list of links many of which interest me, and I wander down them. All are interesting to different people, to me only some. But sadly today before I realized I also wanted to share some of them, I closed the tabs. But I did mange to reopen a few. I really recommend everyone check out his blog, you might not like everything he posts but so many have so much information that you can get lost in them. For me who always feel rushed for time … Bad Ten Bears, but thank you. You do give me a lot of information to consider. Below I will put the few links I read / clicked on a felt were really worth reading but remember they were not the only ones I read, they were only the ones I could quickly recall. Hugs. Scottie

Thom Hartmann: Republicans Plan to Suppress the Vote in 2024

Seriously important news on republicans past efforts that swung elections to them by cheating and the ones they plan for this 2024 election. Read, get angry, prepare to do what it takes to vote. This is simply batshit minority rule over the majoity so they can ignore the will / wishes of the people. They want to rule, not serve the public. Hugs. Scottie

Thank you Tengrain for another wonderful post that puts the cards on the table and shows who holds the chips. But this one paragraph is to me everything the republican maga fundamentalist Christian right wants to do. Hugs. Scottie

If you happen to be a kid in Floriduh, there’s so many ways this jamoke is taking away your ability to learn about the world around you, from banning books, to expressly banning LGBTQ information, to now banning social media. It’s almost like Bootsie is afraid of what you might learn on your own.

Is TikTok a threat to US national security?

This is about profit and which company gets it. The data of every one of us is all over the internet. I run several programs that block the invasive cookies and website to website movement I make across the internet. Why? No I am not doing anything wrong, I just feel if the businesses that build these huge databases about all of us should pay me for that information as they sell it to other companies at a huge profit to gain access to me for their adverts. If you doubt that check your emails or ads on sites you visit and think how closely they compare to your web history. It is incredible how much companies know about us … by my dogs that love gravy I recently went to a website and my ad blocker did not catch the advert for therapist for people abused as children, on a website totally not about that. They could only have gotten my information on me being an abused child by combing my blog with WordPress’s permission, or from violating the policies of the survivor site I have shared my abuse on. Either way it is not their right to have this information on me or use it to push me to a paid sponsor. Face it people today we, each are the product, keeping us on each web page, the more clicks to the next story the better, that drives their advertisement dollars and the clicks add to what they can tell their bosses to keep them or to generate new shareholders to join. The likes drive their income. It is a sad place we are in. I use two different anti tracker programs and one really good ad blocker program because I am not a number / cog for their sales divisions. But still they somehow sometimes get through. Hugs Scottie

Many members of Congress who voted for the recent bill say tiktok is a threat and claim to have intel “we can’t see” but is it a danger? Research groups and congressman Jim Himes (the top Democrat on the intelligence committee) say it isn’t,

FL Surgeon General: It’s Up To Parents Of Unvaxxed If Children Should Attend Class During Measles Outbreak

FL Surgeon General: It’s Up To Parents Of Unvaxxed If Children Should Attend Class During Measles Outbreak

And this scammer con artist who has been accused of falsifying the results of a “vaccine injury risk” study along with being debunked by the large medical organizations, is taking the political way forward rather than protect the children by telling parents the best thing they can do is get their child vaccinated. If you are anti-vaccine think about this, the only children at risk are the unvaccinated! What does that tell you! Hugs. Scottie

February 21, 2024 Crackpots, Science

The Daily Beast reports:

While measles cases are popping up across the country, nowhere has been hit as hard as Manatee Bay Elementary School in Weston, just west of Fort Lauderdale. There, a single case reported Thursday spiraled into a half-dozen infected students by Tuesday evening. John J. Sullivan, a spokesperson for Broward County Public Schools, said the school underwent a deep cleaning and was safe for vaccinated students to continue going to class this week.

Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo wrote a letter Tuesday that urged the parents of unvaccinated students to keep them home until the school is confirmed to be rid of measles entirely. He said the infectious period would likely be over by March 7, and that the district would provide materials to keep the students learning while they’re physically away from school.

Read the full article. According to school officials, around 11% of the students have not gotten the traditional childhood vaccinations. Ladapo, as most of you surely know, is infamously anti-vax and has been accused of falsifying the results of a “vaccine injury risk” study.

FL Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo issues deeply irresponsible guidance to community hit with measles outbreak: notes "high likelihood of infection" for unvaxxed kids but leaves it to parents to decide what to do.

FL surgeon gen says unvaccinated kids can continue to go to school.

This is *unprecedented* Unvaccinated kids need to stay home for 21 days during an outbreak. Why? A very real chance of infection, hospitalization, death or serious damage to the immune system.

Measles is mainly airborne – a “deep cleaning” is theater, not protection. A sane state would forbid unvaxxed kids at school, but of course a sane state would have no unvaxxed kids except for the very rare ones who can’t tolerate or respond to vaccinations.

John Conley3 days ago

Not only is Ladapo’s letter to parents full of very bad advice (like deferring to parents to decide whether or not to expose their unvaccinated children to a virus that can be deadly, or allow those children who may already be infected to spread it to others at school), it’s appalling that nowhere in his letter does he urge the parents of unvaccinated students to get them vaccinated. How does this guy still have a medical license?

“until the school is confirmed to be rid of measles entirely”

I’m curious, since he doesn’t trust scientists to say what will help fight measles, who does he trust to say the school is confirmed to be rid of it? An exorcist?
