Anti-Vax Hypocrite Eric Clapton Breaks Own Vow, Plays Venue With Vaccine Mandate
Musician who swore never to play a vaccine-mandate show goes ahead and does just that in New Orleans


I do hate hypocrites but I am happy to hear he is doing it. I would like to see more vaccine mandates and people follow them.

An Oregon doctor who falsely claimed that wearing masks can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning has had his license revoked.

As of September 2, Steven Arthur LaTulippe is no longer allowed to practice, according to records from the Oregon Medical Board. LaTulippe also received a $10,000 fine.


I think you mean ‘carbon dioxide’. It is what naturally occurs in exhaled breath. Carbon monoxide is from car exhaust, etc…

How come Carbon Monoxide and Carbon Dioxide get all the press. You never hear anyone discuss Carbon Trioxide.

Carbon Trioxide? Is that the girl band from Utica playing at Fallsview?

I just thought that made him more crazy. But now that you mention it, it was more likely a misprint, as I took the direct quote from the source.

PRESENTED WITHOUT COMMENT

British Columbia has a mandatory vaccination mandate for most indoor places including restaurants, bars, concerts, adult sports etc.

The head on the nurses union in BC is not vaccinated and the nurses will not have mandatory vaccinations.

Please feel free to put your own spin on this as per your political beliefs.

Medical workers not wanting it. Politicians pushing it. Should tell you something.

I agree.

However, if medical personnel can breathe their own separate air, I'm fine with their decision. Otherwise no.

The virus does nothing like a car, where it performs a useful function despite its danger. So it's more like a terrorist. Would we let a terrorist kill 1% of our population? Even if it's just the old and sick?

I see the usual suspects in California went to the Emmy awards which were "outside" and chose not to wear masks for the most part. I guess because they were in a tent it was okay. I guess no one is smart enough out there to figure out that a full tent outside is the same as being indoors in a crowd. The elitist mask hypocrisy crowd strikes again.

I wear masks in crowded spaces and I am fully vaccinated. I would not have been in that room without a mask based on both the government requirement for the area and the fact that I don't do large crowds in an indoor setting where people are close together without a mask. This is more mask theater by those trying to push for masking.

"“Let me start by saying, there’s way too many of us in this little room. What are we doing? They said this was outdoors. It’s not,” Rogen said.

The actor and comedian went on the explain that the Emmys had told the stars who were invited to the show that it would be held outside to help mitigate risk as the delta variant drives a surge in COVID cases in Los Angeles. But when they arrived, they discovered that the Emmys were actually being held inside a tent with no ventilation."

I don't get these dummies. if it wasn't right, why stay? Why not at least put on a mask? So you were tested...you could get Covid five minutes later and the test is irrelevant.

Rules for thee;, not for me...
