The National: The UAE’s health minister has been given the first dose of a vaccine designed to protect the public from coronavirus.
Abdulrahman Al Owais received a jab that was developed in a testing operation between the UAE and China, on the same day the country tested more than 100,000 people in 24 hours for the first time.
The jab was approved for use last week after extensive tests found the vaccine to be safe and effective in preventing a person from developing Covid-19. MORE

Oh, everybody.]
Has anyone noticed that all the evil fucks that were pushing this vaccine bullshit suddenly are now against it?
That is leadership by example.
When procedures are cancelled or delayed because the doctor’s office or hospital are not accepting patients, I wouldn’t call it “avoidance”…..I have a relative who had a biopsy of a lesion on his lung delayed from December to July because of COVID concerns at the hospital (who knew that a cancer biopsy was elective?) -his lung was removed in August after the lesion was identified as cancerous.
Multiply his case by how many thousands?
Taking a vaccine developed and produced by the same people who sold defective test kits, PPE’s and the like isn’t leadership by example, it’s extortion!
…and how do we know that what HE gets in the needle is the same thing WE get in the needle?
Short answer: we DON’T…
He got injected with mere saline. Wanna bet?

SEPTEMBER 20, 2020 AT 11:45 AM
…I had knee surgery postponed for months that I had to limp around a campus of factory buildings with a cane for, and when they finally did it, they gave me a bonus staph infection in my calf that threatened to turn septic. I went to the ER for a couple bags of their finest high-dose IV antibiotics, then went home against advice because I have to work for a living, and my knee had long since burned up my sick days.
Anyway, I had some additional issues and needed a follow-up which was scheduled, but my wife got a test for Covid because she’d been around people who were said to be positive and was worried about infecting her elderly mother and mine, do she got this light scraping test that was WAY different than the presurgical test I got where they jammed a giant Q tip into my nose until it hit the back of my skull (for a Negative result), and sure enough, she got a positive, which was probably false because that test is wrong a LOT, plus she never had any symptoms.
But you better BELIEVE the Board of Health was all up on ME, and J was forced to be off work two weeks for a lie, because only Governor Rino DeWhine is allowed to take Covid tests until he gets the answer he wants, not her.
So I contemplated my festering leg and my now-jeapordized doctor’s appointment, and sure enough, the bastard was a younger doctor and therefore a coward, so I got 15 minutes on the phone with him and I got to send one picture to his secretary.
Of my LEG, pervert.
…anyway, it worked out in that he overprescribed MORE antibiotics for home use for me and it grudgingly healed, but I was not thrilled that he made a diagnosis based on my description and a terrible phone cam image, and declined to actually do, you know, DOCTOR things like palpate, inspect, ausculate, percuss, etc., to at LEAST make sure I wasn’t developing an overwhelming infection that would kill me from septic shock.
I mean, I knew what to look for because I’ve had some training, but HE didn’t know that.
They’re ALL like that now, since Democrats used Obamacare to chase all the OLD, GOOD doctors out, to replace them with Doogie Howser and PAs, NPs, all this OTHER crap they made up so they could give you Socialist level garbage medical care, and they’re all wusses to boot.
Cowards, cowards ALL.
…see, I lived through this BEFORE, about a quarter century ago, when I was a medic and none other than Dr. Fachi himself, wearing a younger man’s clothes, tried to panic the nation about AIDS. Few today realize how ignorant we were then about how it could be transmitted, and Fachi said ALL the SAME things THEN about AIDS that he said about COVID now.
But the medical establishment THEN didn’t fall for it.
Sure, everyone adopted universal precautions, but kept seeing patients, didn’t treat everyone like they were carrying the Black Plague, didn’t lock down bars (which, ironically, COULD pread AIDS if you got drunk enough), and the world kept turning.
So yeah, nowadays, I don’t see a lot of POINT in seeing a doctor. If I even GET a doctor and not a PA, it’ll be WEEKS after I NEED one, I’ll have to go through more health security than a visitor at a penitentiary, he’s poorly trained because they rushed all the NEW doctors out to replace the OLD ones they ran off, and he’s such a coward he tries to socially distance the ENTIRE VISIT, doing NO doctor things and having a flunky do the contact stuff if absolutely necessary.
Cowards.
And the bonus is, if you have a temp or look sick, which is WHAT YOU SEE A DOCTOR FOR, he might shotgun you antibiotics in a prescription form and you’re locked in for ANOTHER two weeks, all because HE doesn’t want to do HIS job, out of FEAR.
Cowards.
So yeah, I avoid it like I avoid riots, and for the same reason, nothing GOOD can come of it.
I just don’t understand, though.
I don’t want lions eating me, so I don’t take a job feeding lions. This has GREATLY reduced any concern I might have about being lion chow.
So, if it’s THAT simple for me to not have THAT occupational hazard, how about if these folks THAT ARE AFRAID OF SICK PEOPLE DON’T DO A JOB WHERE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO CARE FOR SICK PEOPLE!?!?
…Cowards, cowards, incompetent cowards, they pretty much disgust me now, almost every one…
Then he promptly crawled into a lizard hole.
