From one of the best of the old-timey members of USian Left Blogistan, Maha, getting to the heart of the political anti-vaccination matter down south:
Meanwhile, up here in Canuckistanmikitaville, a self-declared owner of the libtards, a fine fellow named Maxime Bernier went North last week, to North Bay Ontario to be more precise, and started babbling on about how it was fine for folks to call him Mad Max because, among other things, he has the 'data':
The good Mr. Bernier also told a few folks in a park about how important not getting vaccinated is, because freedom, etcetera, which the small town hyperlocal media organ 'BayToday' promptly regurgitated, pretty much whole.
...The implicit message coming from Republican leaders in these parts is that if you’re really smart and thinking for yourself, you don’t get vaccinated. That’s what sheep and libtards do. If you do get sick, you’ll be fine, so what’s the deal?...

The Leader of the People's Party of Canada continued his Mad Max Summer 2021 Pre-Election Cross-Canada Tour with a stop at Lee Park near the shores of Lake Nipissing in North Bay Sunday afternoon.
Bernier was surrounded by many anti-lockdown supporters as he expressed his frustration.
He says he is angry.
"You can call me Mad Max," he stated...

..."We have the data for over a year, and that is why I believe that I am the only leader of a national party that says 'no' to the COVID-19 vaccine," he exclaimed...

Which is all fine and good as far as it goes.
But here's what I don't get...
Why did 'real' bigtime news outlets like, say, CTV, CBC, Global, the National Post, the Montreal Gazette and a whole bunch of other print media organ grinder monkeys, none of which I will link to here, also wurlitzer this public health-damaging swill from Mr. Bernier?
****
There is, of course, a different way to deal with this media strate(r)gy that is premised on getting attention for the spouting of stupidity, and it has nothing whatsoever to do with forcing the break up of the Book of Faces and/or banishing Mr. Zuckerberg to a drab dorm room with perpetual dial-up for life (not that that either of those would necessarily be a bad thing).
Instead, all those big media-on-the-mat organs could just take responsibility for their own actions, make like the Cleveland Plain Dealer, and just say no to candidates and politicians who traffic in demonstrable codswallop.
OK?

I commented over at Harvey Oberfeld's blog 'Keep it Real' in response to a 'wanna be a Mad Max too' http://harveyoberfeld.ca/blog/stop-saying-sorry-when-vaccine-refusers-fall-sick-or-die/
"Dear Patrick Mullen,
Your use of capitalized letters, almost throughout your rant against the protection that vaccines offer to block Covid-19, must be due to having an over abundance of testosterone. Its just two pricks.
Over at Emptywheel there’s this article:
“If COVID damages blood vessels in men’s reproductive organs the same way it does in other organs and limbs, erectile dysfunction medications like Viaaara and Cialis may not work as well (or at all) because functioning blood vessels are needed to distribute the medication throughout tissues”

Rant on Brother, before you know it, your current font size 40 will be down to 12, or smaller.
