Naturally the herd lined up outside this guy's office weren't wearing masks either much less social distancing. I guess that makes this a chiropractic super-spreader center.
Covid-19 is a health crisis, to be sure, but it's the greater message of the decline of civil society that most worries me. At what point does America's already deeply divided society come apart at the seams?
This pandemic has certainly exposed the fault lines not only in America, Mound, but also in the human race. Where it all leads to is likely not good at all.
I have never had reason to doubt H L Mencken's trenchant observations on the chiropractic trade. Take a farm boy and give him 6 weeks of "instruction" prior to releasing him on a trusting public as a "doctor" was one theme of his ongoing ridicule. The course is much longer than six weeks a hundred years later, but tt's today the only faux "medicine" approved for provincial recompense under our health care system in Canada. How Mencken would have railed at chiropractic's "recognition" as approved medical practitioners if he were still around today!
Mind you, what with living with the internet as we do, self-appointed experts thoroughly schooled in self-taught online epidemiology are a dime a dozen these days and they know Fauci is a fake for a fact. After a day's hard work restocking cereal boxes in the aisles of yer local supermarket, these modern day pandemic experts study in depth on chat forums and Mayo Clinic press releases which they are scarcely literate enough to comprehend beyond paragraph one, yet soon know more about that hoax Covid and fake vaccines than anyone who spent 8 to 10 years getting old-fashioned credentials at medical school. These basement expert warriors are now legion on every subject under the sun. Why bother with attending college when Fred down the street of any settlement anywhere knows more than any pink-palmed book-schooled university grad, and is willing to give away his advice for free?
A medical vaccine exemption from a chiropractor? Amurica!
I was not aware of Mencken's observations about chiropractic, Bill. Thank you. They certainly put 'Dr.' Bush's behaviour into an appropriate context.
As for the instant expertise you speak of, well, we were always told the internet was revolutionary; we just didn't know it would revolutionize idiocy.
I am so tired of having to share a planet with these self-important shitheads.
