Here’s a Facebook profile photo of a person in the San Francisco Bay Area software industry (UC Berkeley grad and former academic!) whom Facebook thinks would want to be friends with me:
Of course, it is good that he/she/ze/they got his/her/zir/their first COVID-19 vaccine shot. That’s something we can bond over. But if the purpose of these profile photos is to encourage people to comply with CDC instructions, no matter how absurd or in conflict with what the Science-following European technocrats have decided (e.g., no vaccines or boosters if you’re under 50 in Denmark), shouldn’t there be a frame for those who’ve gotten what is, I think, their 5th shot?
What’s in this person’s feed? Rage against “Judge Qannon” who is being too friendly to Donald Trump. A note about a female identifying Italian Prime Minister: “Sudden realization: Benito Mussolini became Prime Minister of Italy in 1922.” More about the aftermath of Joe Biden’s raid on Donald Trump’s house. Rage against the illegitimate Supreme Court: “For the record, four of the current court Justices (including the Chief) were nominated by Presidents who lost the popular vote. At least three were confirmed by a Senate majority that represented a minority of the US population. And it was THAT Court that decided that, hey, we don’t like a half-century of American jurisprudence.” Praise for the Inflation Reduction Act (timely, considering that my friends in Berkeley say they’re paying $7 per gallon for gasoline). More rage against Trump. Something about Matt Gaetz going to prison for having sex with “children” (age of consent in Science-following Maskachusetts is 16; were there cash-oriented ladies younger than 16 hanging around Matt Gaetz and getting paid to work?). Rage against the Supreme Court for allowing a state to impose a 15-week limit on abortion care for pregnant people. Excitement that a person identifying as a “woman” has an important job in the U.S. Navy. (answering the question Are women the new children?) COVID-19 statistics and how the vaccinated are impervious to death via SARS-CoV-2. Rage against “Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle for her unilateral decision to overturn the mask mandate.” (It is not always glorious when those who identify as female hold important jobs.)
How about a frame that says “I got my 5th booster and I’m as healthy as the Pfizer CEO“?
At least it didn’t recommend human lion hybrids. There tends to be a lot of praise for Bide’s this or that & by the way, subsidies for Intel & Micron, from employees of Intel & Micron.
If you give me this person’s mailing address I can mail him some Joe Biden “I did that” gas pump stickers.

I’m surprised he didn’t find the Rage to support the transgender boy in the women’s locker room at the Vermont high school:
“Asked why she took issue with the trans-identify student entering the bathroom, female student A answered slowly, as if surprised she must explain: “It’s a dude.”

Retribution has followed for the Girl’s Soccer Team coach who objected along with the girls he coaches.

“In a letter, Allen told school officials that he referred to the male student as a “he” on purpose, according to superintendent Layne Millington. She argued that “Such conduct is unprofessional and unbecoming, and flies in the face of the Vermont Principal Association’s athletic regulations, Vermont State regulations, and the RUHS Middle-High School expectations.”
Where is his outrage? I guess he doesn’t have enough time on his hands!

“Or, for that matter, anyone who attended the super-spreader Biogen conference in Boston, back in February of 2020.”

About a month later was my favorite “tell it like it is” prediction:

It looks like the CDC is getting hawkish again (“immunization” recommendation for children at school):
