Howard Stern: "Fuck their freedom"

Odd, I didn't see Howard Stern getting the Metal of Freedom in front of a crowd of millions.

My noon scan of the Yooper news channel reports that our local Health Dept. is somehow at "capacity".
Whatever that means. Then on the same news channel is a chart of cases. Marquette Co. is listed at 142 cases. Our population: 66.6K, according to the US Census Bureau.
Looks like most of us are doing ok. But the Health Dept. is swamped!

‘SNL’ alum Jim Breuer cancels clubs requiring vax proof: It’s ‘segregation’

Jim Breuer is taking shots at the COVID jab as he announces cancellations of shows at venues which require proof of vaccination.

The policy is government-sanctioned “segregation,” according to the former “Saturday Night Live” cast member best known as “Goat Boy.”

The Long Island native took to Facebook Live to drop the bombshell over the weekend.

“Two quick updates on shows that you may think you may be getting tickets to or you already have tickets to: The Wellmont Theater in New Jersey — not doing it,” Breuer, 54, said in the 22-minute broadcast that’s now trending on Twitter.

“Also the Royal Oak Theater in Michigan, due to the segregation of them forcing people to show up with vaccinations … I am also not doing those shows,” he added.

“I know I’m going to sacrifice a lot of money, but I’m not going to be enslaved to the system or money.”

The funny guy emphasized that vaccination is “a choice,” and has decided to cancel bookings at venues that don’t align with his values.

“If you have anything else to say, I honestly don’t care,” Breuer said. “Due to, I have to stick to my morals, I have to stick to what I know is right.”

He alleged that guests are being “forced” and “bribed” into vaccination by venues, which he believes are being held “hostage” by pro-vax lawmakers and corporate ticketing vendors.

Breuer’s memo is just the latest in a succession of performers to amend their touring schedules in regards to their pandemic politics, including rocker Eric Clapton, 76, who has cancelled shows citing the same reason. (Nicki Minaj had her own reasons for not attending Monday night’s Met Gala.”)

Meanwhile, comedian Patton Oswalt made the opposite announcement last week — that he would cancel shows, particularly in Florida and Utah, where vaccines were not required to attend. He’s joined by artists, such as Bruce Springsteen and the Foo Fighters, who have made similar calls.

Breuer starred on “SNL” between 1995 and 1998, and was best known for his character “Goat Boy” and celebrity impersonations such as Joe Pesci. He later co-starred alongside Dave Chappelle for the stoner flick “Half Baked” in 1998, the same year he also hosted his short-lived MTV talk show “The Jim Breuer Show.”

So I recently spent a little over a week in ICU.

I was the only non Covid patient in ICU. Then I was the only non Covid Patient in Intermediate Care.

The Hospital I was at called 6 other hospitals trying to find me a bed. None could take me due to all beds (plus emergency overflow wards, wings and/or beds)) being taken by Covid patients.

Every one of these hospitals were very large, modern, metropolitan hospitals.

I honestly don't know what to think about Covid.

Covid is real and is causing real problems. The hype around Covid is bullshit but also causing real problems.

Fauci and other TV talking head "experts" are worthless, a waste of time to listen to and are causing real problems with their bullshit as well.

My PCP (as well as the ICU & ER docs who took care of me) are all in agreement though; that the vaccine is worth getting and barring allergies or other conditions that might cause complications, one is much better off with the vaccine than without should one contract Covid.

The current Covid vaccines deal with Covid the same as current Flu vaccines. It helps prevent contraction but doesn't guarantee immunity. If one should contract Covid, vaccinated individuals suffer far less severity (in the vast majority of cases anyways). Further, a vaccinated individual will (again in the vast majority of cases) suffer far less severe post Covid effects than a non-vaccinated individual.

I'm not a doctor, or medical professional. I don't play one on TV and I don't stay in Holiday Inn's because Holiday Inn sucks. I'm by no means an authority on Covid, virology, immunity and so forth. But I have just spent a lot of time around people who are experts in those fields. Some of those people are directly responsible for saving my life multiple times while in ICU. Every one of them are saying get the vaccine.

There is no politics in their recommendations. These are the professionals who have been dealing with Covid, and the wreckage Covid is causing, every day, day in and day out for almost two years straight.

Also let me be absolutely, crystal clear; I am not recommending, or arguing for or against whether or not someone should get the vaccine. I am simply relating my recent, personal experience.

Thanks for that. As long as it's your informed personal choice, free of coercion, that's great.
You didn't specify whether you have had the shot yourself, though from your comments I would assume that you have?

On the other hand,
Jeff Dunham has several events scheduled, which require a vaccine or a negative test to attend.

I will be getting the shot in about two weeks.

Good luck to you. Keep us posted.

Posted back on p. 843, The all out assault is on from organized medicine to us physicians who don't bow down. First, the commies did it, on the legal side, to Powell, Wood, Giuliani and any attorneys supporting President Trump in his election fraud fight. Now, on the medical side, they're doing it to the doctors who don't toe their covid line. I'll say it again, organized medicine's action in this whole saga is despicable.

Okay, allow me to clarify;

Yes there's politics and agenda's surrounding every aspect of Covid. Lots of politics. Lots of agendas. Politics and agendas from the Right, the Left and everybody in between.

No, I can't say that there hasn't been pressure put on the doctors and staff who treated me.

But the ICU and ER doctors and staff who did treat me just didn't seem to bring politics into it. They just seemed tired from almost two years of this mess. What I saw in those doctors (and nurses) wasn't unlike what I've seen in cops who were deep undercover for a long period of time, or cops who spent too much time in a particularly rough sector or high intensity unit like Street Crime/Crime suppression (even when it's fun there's a toll and sometimes a very heavy toll at that). Like I said I'm not a health professional but I know that kind of stress and fatigue when I see it.

As I said in my original post, I was the only non Covid patient in ICU and later in Intermediate Care. Six other hospitals literally could not take me because of Covid overflow. Again, these are large, modern hospitals.

I still don't know what to really think about Covid. But until I was in the position I was in I didn't know or realize just how much havoc Covid is causing. My decision to finally take the vaccine is a direct result of conversations with several of those ICU doctors (as well as my own PCP).

Are they all pushing an agenda? Maybe. Possibly, I guess. There's no real way to know, but that's not the impression I got from those conversations.

And again allow me to reiterate; I'm not arguing for or against the vaccine. I'm simply relating my person experience.

If, and I know you can't or couldn't talk to the nurse's who had previously staffed the icu's across this country through better than 18 months of this situation who have recently been terminated because of these illegal mandates by administrative hospital staff in bed with the gov for the $ and only the $. Those nurse's would and are telling a completely different story than the one you are telling. These hospitals are not overrun with patients. Their very limited capacity for covid patients is a result of this crap (mandates and the $)by firing large numbers of their nursing staff and putting the rest of those still employed under a terrible amount of stress due to low staffing levels. This is sending us into a real manufacturer ed by design crisis's. People need to wake up and demand better.

Yes, they are. They are currently treating patients in the waiting room of the ER at Good Samaritan here because there are no beds available.

My friend who works the ER in N. Idaho has had his hospital ICU beds full for months. The surrounding hospitals were also so full recently that he had to send one patient to Reno just to get treatment.

Is it shortsighted to let people go for refusing to get vaccinated during a time when the hospitals are maxed out? Yes.

Are the hospitals just short-staffed? No.

How many of the covid patients were vaccinated?

Did any of the covid patients receive 'alternative' care that has been proving promising in other countries (ie - ivermectin)?

Why are the doctors encouraging the vaccine if countries with high vaccination rates are still seeing high incidence? Why are they encouraging the vaccine if alternative treatments may be successful? I'd like to have some responses to this before accepting any encouragement from doctors.
