Re: [AFMUG] OT commies

I've had so many vaccinations, I can't count them all. I know I've had polio, mumps, chicken pox, rubella, measles, tetanus, and even the plague. I'm pretty sure there are a bunch that I don't remember.

Polio is significant to me, as I was born during the big polio surge and my brother-in-law got polio when he was born. It's not clear how he aquired it, but it's suspected that the doctor who delivered him may have had it at birth.

My nephew's father died from COVID back in March 2020, so I also know the issues with it.

I susbcribe to the science that if we get enough of us vaccinated, COVID-19 may become a unpleasant memory.

I hear what you are saying Bill.   Surprising it has become such a politically divided topic.  However, I remember when our kids were little and we went through the normal course of decisions on vaccinations.  Most were no brainers, chicken pox, measles etc.   But our daughter hit her teens right as the HPV vaccination was coming out.  I remember talking about the risk of HPV and the newness of the vaccine with our doctor and with my wife’s sister and brother in law who are both doctors.   Based on this we made our own decision for our daughter based on risk of disease versus risk of vaccination.   That seemed like a good approach at the time.   Our current situation isn’t like that since the government is pushing the vaccinations so hard, which is why I think folks see this as political topic.  Not looking to start a Lent thread, but I suspect the politics of vaccination are going to be with us as long as political resources such and governors and federal officials are commenting on vaccination and even making policy based on vaccination status. 

 

I remember an uncle telling me once, being forced to do something makes people feel much differently about doing it.   He said “giving money in the collection plate at church is something you know you should do, and when you do it on your own, you feel good about it.   However if someone forces you to do it, whether by taking the money from your pocket, or not letting you go to church unless you give at the collection plate, you don’t feel the same about it.  It is still the right thing to do, but that good thing leaves a bad taste in your mouth.  Most people will do the right thing in their own time.”

I can not for the life of me figure out how getting vaccinated has turned into some kind of political discussion.

A local popular restaurant that has survived the last year on take out orders is opening to in store dining with no social distancing.  But you have to show your shot card to get in.  I reduced and laminated mine.  After news broke of this they are getting death threats and are being accused of being commies.

 

The posted to facebook the rules and mention that no, you will have to actually pay for the food as they are not true commies.  My wife and I plan to be there this week. 

 

We found some red hammer and sickle shirts to wear for the event.

 

Excellent gumbo, jambalaya and a mix called gumbayala.  Gumbayla is a heart stopper...

I think mexico could overtake the US economy if they made a tamale push and hired Mexican aunts to make tamales full time.

 

We could flush out all the commies too. Anybody who doesnt like tamales is an obvious commie.

 

I do wonder what the US spends on tamales annually. It's an all cash business. As far as food services go, the margins are pretty good. I'd bet the annual sales if there were a way to estimate them are pretty high.

There was a neighborhood lady selling smoked brisket tamales at $15 per dozen a few years back – they were incredible!

Some lady my neighbor works with. She was selling a dozen for 10 bucks but couldnt keep up so she raised it to 13. Around here a dozen real tamales goes for 18 to 20
