#2 But wait, I was told it was the unvaxed who are causing this? What's the next excuse they'll going to come up with.

#3 But - hospitals under pressure from covid patients, because nobody is getting vaxxed. Hospitals pressured because nurses quitting or fired for failure to take the vax. Immigrants not vaxxed, probably because ... the hospitals can't take the pressure? Same for Afghans unvaxxed?

#5 Do you get the feeling that American medicine is now failing as badly as American education, the American military, and American foreign policy?

#9 it was the unvaxed who are causing this?

As of a month ago, 1.8 million Afghans have been vaccinated against Covid out of a total population of around 39 million, according to Tolo News at the time. But the odds are good our refugee Afghans haven’t been vaccinated against anything, including polio.

#10 Would be interesting to set immigration up as "get the vaccine and get in immediately" and watch the uncomfortable fun.

#11 Losing a world war has consequences. More of this on the way to be sure. So nice of Gen Milley to unilaterally surrender to the CCP on our behalf. I'm sure he was convinced the media would treat him like a hero - and he was right!

#12 Will they be able to vote for VA Governor from the hospital?

#13 I'm awaiting an order from General Milley that all non-government employed residents of Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun, Stafford and Prince William counties immediately turn their homes over to incoming Afghans and move elsewhere until further notice.

I mean, he is in charge isn't he ?

#14 I remember that episode well. For awhile, "He (or she) is the Al Haig of " was a running joke in my circle about assertions of control in any realm.
