It’s Groundhog Day. What better way to celebrate an unscientific, ridiculous made-up day than with a Scott Adams tweet?
I can understand why people would take my advice. After all, I’m a cartoonist. Like Scott Adams, I’m occasionally funny but unlike Scott Adams, I don’t have a massive social media following. If I did have 800,000 Twitter followers I would have the authority and certain gravitas to mock people who were reluctant to put an experimental drug into their bodies. [/sarc]
Like so many Hollywood actors, Adams did do that. I mean, he created Dilbert, he must have known that an mRNA drug, developed at “warp speed” would save the planet, with zero side effects. And see no problems associated with mandating a drug, and requiring it for healthy men and women in the military but not requiring it for Congress — makes sense, right? Natural immunity? Pfff.
Scott Adams mocked “low-hanging fruit.” It’s pretty hilarious mocking people who chose to say things like:
- Do cloth masks actually save lives? How?
- Why are masks required when you walk into a restaurant, but not when you sit down?
- 6 feet distance. Where did that come from? Is there any “science” supporting that?
- Public health officials with no medical education turned police into COVID cops. What’s the science behind closing open-air parks?
- You can catch COVID on hot beaches?
- Joggers not wearing masks, are a threat?
- One-way arrows pointing down grocery store aisles – is there some science to back this up?
- Wipe down all your groceries with sanitizers. Why?
- Shaking a hand is dangerous? Why?
- COVID Vaccines are safe. Kinda safe. Mostly safe. Ok – the shots are not really “vaccines,” they don’t stop you from getting it, but they keep you from dying… usually.
Groundhog Day is the appropriate day for a new Scott Adams flex. Is Adams mocking all mandates as stupid? Is he saying some mandates, like seatbelts, are a good thing and that’s the same as a mandated COVID jab? Maybe he’s having a side effect from his COVID jab. Likely it’s something else. Like a superiority complex.
The last time I checked seatbelts weren’t injected into my bloodstream. I did some Googling and I couldn’t find a single story where a company mandated “seatbelts worn in an office,” or you’d be fired. Not one story about a mass of people mocking non-seatbelt wears in an office building. No seatbelts on the beach? Weird.
Remember the “winter of death” that never happened?
How about the threats from various Twitter “smart-guys” that if you didn’t take the jab that it would be mandated — as in they would knock on your door.
Buckle up, America…
