DL Open Thread Tuesday August 24th 2021

I was in a store yesterday and some asshole was yammering on about the “Nuremberg Code”  and how it meant that he didn’t  need to get vaccinated because the vaccine is experimental.  The Nuremberg Code seems to be everywhere these days as MAGA shitheads have embraced it as the ultimate legal defense for their assholery.

Like this guy, for example:   

An Alabama man who called himself the ‘vaccine police’ told pharmacists at a Missouri Walmart that they will be ‘executed’ if they continued giving COVID-19 shots

He then stormed toward Walmart’s pharmacy and gleefully announced to the camera, “They just shut down.” The pharmacists understandably wanted nothing to do with the bad actor, so they locked their doors and put a “No Pharmacist on Duty” sign on their door. Keys taunted the staff for about 15 minutes before the police finally arrived. But they were useless. Keys, commanding center stage, just toyed with them while they stood like sad sacks waiting to be punched. “All I wanted to do was get the vaccine,” he lied, then threatened that this was a case of “discrimination.”

The regular police seem intimidated by the “vaccine police.” Although Keys aggressively harassed the pharmacy in the form of a banal stunt, in the end the officers simply turned around and walk away, while Keys said, “There we go. The officers finally stood down.” And thus, another Covidiot bully is emboldened — and dangerously emboldens.

Meanwhile back on planet earth: Requiring COVID-19 vaccination does not violate the Nuremberg Code because the vaccines aren’t experimental. All the vaccines approved for emergency use in the United States have already gone through clinical trials.

Bonus:  Isn’t it great how the police act like a bunch of pussies whenever a white guy yells at them about his “rights”.    Where is that ‘shoot first’ spirit then you need it?

The Unvaccinated Should Pay More For Health Insurance
