  1. Wouldn’t it be interesting to compare the numbers, vaxxed vs unvaxxed, of people coming down with severe flu?

  2. The ones that took the COVID KILL SHOT have had their immune system destroyed. No one has gone to jail.

  3. If someone on the staff moonlights as an ICE agent, are they made to or prohibited from wearing a mask? I’m confused again with the mask thing.

    • When I see hospital staff on the job they almost always have a visible ID badge with a name, photo and sometimes even their hometown is listed.
      S. 208 would prevent all law enforcement officers from wearing a mask or disguise for the purpose of concealing their identity. If ICE personnel were to wear a similar hospital style ID badge I imagine far fewer people would take issue with their face coverings and anonymity.

  4. What happened to Covid? Now the flu is back after taking a short hiatus? Wierd. Trust the science, right Fauci?

  5. As the song goes, “Do this, don’t do that, can’t you read the signs?” I wonder if I can wear my Casper the Friendly Ghost mask?

  6. But in Vtdigger they talk about making laws to remove masks on ice agents and laws not allowing them to wear masks!

    What if they moon light at the hospital, what then?

    These people are certifiably insane.

  7. So now we are drawing comparisons about face covering and ID badges between medical and law enforcement personnel?
    The difference is that I dont see many violent mobs throwing things at and screaming death threats and obscenities at hospital employees and doxxing their home addresses and pictures of their children. As a mostly law-abiding US citizen, I like to think of ICE enforcement activities as an “essential public service”, just like any other law enforcement carried out by sworn officers. Doctors just take a different oath, and sometimes even doctors get accused of engaging in controversial practices like abortion and removing perfectly good body parts which some people interpret as inconsistent with the Hippocratic Oath. In the same way, ICE officers are Constitutionally Sworn, and get accused by some of violating the Constitution. There are laws and there are opinions. Doctors who perform pregnancy terminations and “gender affirmation” surgery in Vermont are protected by law, just as are the lawful activities of ICE agents. Not everyone is on board with the Constitutionality of random DUI roadblocks, since they are not based on probable cause, but they are perfectly legal in Vermont. That does not give someone the right to interfere with a DUI enforcement activity by blocking the road with a car and threatening officers by driving toward them. Both DUI and immigration law enforcement are under the same legal strictures to prevent stereotyping and profiling…

    • Rich, You should visit an emergency room some time. Preferrably on the night of a full moon.
