"Polio Season Already! I Haven't Taken Down My Monkey Pox Decorations Yet."
From commenter IB_Joe at InstaPundit, about the "Poliovirus detected in sewage from North and East London" story. Fortunately, it appears that the risk is fairly low, the UK Health Security Agency reports; see also Ars Technica (Beth Mole).

Excuse me? Monkey pox is a racist epithet. You need to apologize, and to undergo diversity training by lesbians with a crew cut.

Actually, WHO is a bunch of Chinese Commie servants. It needs to be emptied out of its woke scumbags or to get totally defunded and expelled from the country.
Again, propagandists who commit and exploit the Exception Fallacy, meaning all journalists, need an ass kicking. It is a form of lying. Do not sue them. Do not ban them. Do not cancel or desubscribe. Just kick their asses with a stick.
OMG, polio in the sewer. Shut down the economy. Stop all transportation. Close all the restaurants. One sure way to prevent such lockdowns in the future is to elect a Democrat President. All lockdowns were to prevent the sure re-election of Donald Trump, the greatest President since George Washington. That was the greatest scam heist in history. The courts of the US did not protect us from it. The tech billionaires scores $1.7 trillion. The Chinese ones scored $2 trillion. They dropped the world GDP by $4 trillion and killed 100 million people from starvation. Greatest mass slaughter, greater than those of the 20th Century tyrants combined. The US legal system allowed. Never bring up the German people of the 1930's again, lawyer scumbags.
Right-wing humor is . . . about what you would expect from a group of disaffected, on-the-spectrum. antisocial, painfully awkward, tech-oriented, angry misfits.
Hey, Rev. Evidence. Show us the evidence of any lehal education whatsoever.
Hey, Rev. I do not want to ever hear you say the M word pox. It is racist. Say it. I will call the cops. I will have you cancelled.
I got banned by Instapundit because I informed him the the Federalist was taking one of columns out of context to further their narrative about Trump/Russia collusion. So the Federalist characterized Instapundit as a member of the mainstream media as evidence the media was carrying water for Robby Mook in 2016…Instapundit is a loser.
Prof. Volokh thinks Instapundit is just dreamy.
With predictable consequences.
Nothing about the insurrection hearings yet -- although federal agents reportedly searched Jeffrey Clark's home today, which could reveal some interesting things about a Volokh Conspirator or two -- yet a steady stream of this crap from Prof. Volokh and a couple of his conservative colleagues.
What a bunch of cowards and losers.

Hey Rev. Great legal analysis from a Top Tier grad. Really useful. Keep these coming, bruh.
🙂
Freaking Obama, having the CIA use polio vaccine scams to collect intelligence.
I don't think either of these is something to lose any sleep over.
We're all going to die!
Everything that lives dies. Life is a terminal illness, and there are no survivors.

CHIMP OUT!
I should be safe enough from Polio, having gotten the original Salk vaccine as a kid. Got a nice Smallpox vaccine scar, too, just like my wife.
And Monkeypox, like AIDS, is basically only a threat if you're a promiscuous homosexual. It's not going to penetrate far beyond that population.
I know they're looking for the next pandemic to justify crackdowns again, but they'll have to keep looking.
Polio was on its way to global eradication a couple of decades ago. A deep curse on the Islamo-Trumpists in Afghanistan and the Pakistan borderlands who allowed it to escape.
Now that Biden has admitted on-camera that his administration is planning another pandemic (and thus that the first was intentional), I hope courts will recognize this malice when ruling on any further case in which government or corporations attempt to force injections, masks, and/or lockdowns on us.
