OMG here’s the latest Covid development:
You mean, like the flu shot I get every year? Whoop-de-fucking-doo.
Let’s not even talk about the rampant government bureaucracy involved in having a “Vaccines Minister”… reminds me of all the busybody “czars” that our own gummint foists on us every time a Democrat occupies the White House.
Down in Ozland, the Melbourne Cup Race is probably the only occasion where the entire country shuts down for the day. It is one of the biggest horse racing events in the world — indeed perhaps one of the biggest sporting events, period.
So last weekend this monster took place Down Under in, as its name would suggest, in Melbourne, and here are a few pics of the festivities:
Anyone notice anything missing?
Face masks.
And lest we forget, this is the city which saw thuggish cops teargas old ladies, arrest people for walking in parks without a mask, check to see that people were locked up in their homes, and all the other WuFlu-related atrocities brought to them courtesy of the Victoria state government.
There was, however, this:
Punters at the track had to be fully vaccinated and they were separated into three zones which they were not allowed to leave.
Sort of house arrest at the track.
One might have expected at least some of the attendees to be wearing a face condom, but as far as I can see: none.
I don’t know what this means, if anything, but it sure is interesting.
SPRINGFIELD—All area stores have completely sold out if their supply of 9mm vaccine passports amid a nation-wide shortage.
The shortage began last year, well before rumors started circulating that President Joe Biden was going to require vaccine passports for certain activities.
Many people looking to tell the president and his minions, “I got your vaccine passport right here, Karen,” are having trouble finding them.
“It’s just a combination of things — you got millions of new vaccine passport owners buying them right when COVID hit,” said Billy Fallon, the owner of Firing Line, an indoor firing range and vaccine passport shop in Westland. “Companies shut down because of COVID, and when they started back up, they were only at a quarter-staff. And the orders kept coming in.”
Now with a likely federal mandate, the shortage could reach unprecedented levels.
“We’re short on everything but just cannot keep the 9mm or the .40 caliber vaccine passports on the shelf,” Fallon said.
Serves them right for just going with untried, untested 9mm/.40 S&W vaccine passports. I (and many like me) prefer to go with the tried-and-tested .45 ACP and .357 Magnum vaccine passports, which deliver just the kind of results one would like them to have on the Gummint Karens.
From some medical bloke:
“You can still get COVID, potentially [after having been vaccinated]. But if you do get it, it’s not severe at all.”
As it happens, I was just chatting with Mr. Free Market yesterday, and he informed me that he’d been diagnosed with the Delta-‘Rona.
When I asked him what it was like, the answer was: “Rugby club hangover. Piece of cake.” (Translation: you feel like utter crap for about twenty four hours, then much better on day two, and by day three you’re back to swilling Ginger Macs, just with a bit of a cough — which is where he was when I spoke to him.)
In other words: it’s like a bronchial flu.
Carry on.

The only time I’m going to be wearing a mask is if I decide to avail myself of the federal government’s free housing and medical care program by robbing a bank.
Other than that, they can all fuck off, especially bastards like these:
…not that I’m likely to go to either shithole, of course — but Trader Joe is especially on my watch list.

Read my lips: We’re not going back to masks and lockdowns again
Thankfully I live in Texas, where the state government isn’t entirely run by power-hungry assholes like those in California and New York, to name but two. Which means that this mask foolishness is unlikely to get any traction except by members of the Perpetually Fearful Set, who are concentrated in Democrat hell-holes like Austin and suburban north Dallas. The mommies shopping at Trader Joe can wear a dozen masks at a time for all I care; I’ll just shop in my normal manner. (And if Trader Joe starts that “only ten people in the store at a time” nonsense, I’ll shop elsewhere until they come to their senses.)
As for lockdowns… forget it. The boys at Meal Team Six can stay home playing Medal Of Honor or working in the JiffyLube grease pit.
