Gain of Function

You can also listen to this article on The PonkaBlog Podcast! Update: I wrote this back in July. CNN published an article this week claiming that the COVID vackseens reduce the chance of dying from anything. When you write on current events like I do, not everything stays relevant for

Don’t Blame Me

I told you this was going to happen.  I thought it would happen later in the year, so I was a little off with the timing.  But we’re exactly where I figured we’d end up.  Just a little sooner.  Some local governments are starting to enforce mask mandates and social

Fauci’s “Trusted Messengers”

In a recent interview, Anthony Fauci was discussing the proposal/plan by the Biden administration to send people door-to-door to spread the good word about vackseens.  Here’s what he said: “The big misinterpretation that Fox News or whomever else is saying is that they are essentially envisioning a bunch of federal

Thought Control

I was talking with a friend of mine the other day about the ridiculous things that people believe.  You know, crazy shit like vackseens aren’t killing people, personal pronouns are a good idea and that racist white cops are trying to exterminate black men.  I wondered how so many smart

Extra Crispy COVID

Like many people, I’ve chosen not to get a COVID-19 vacksination.  My reasoning is simple.  I’m healthy, so even if I were to contract the disease, I’d most likely be OK. Even though I’m not vacksinated, I don’t wear a mask.  I freely walk wherever I want to go, unconcerned

Snap Out Of It

Earlier this week, I was standing in line outside waiting to take my dog to the vet (ironically, it was to get her vaccinated).  There were 17 people in line, and I was the only one not wearing a mask.  Being the way I am, I couldn’t help but think
