Bet the vast majority of the athletes are vaccinated.

The change was announced June 2 for games that opened yesterday. Might be that some COVIDiots didn't have time to arrange to come, and that others got vaccinated thinking that they had no choice.

Lots in the news that I saw. The shit waited until the last minute to announce the 27.5 million dollar fine, so basically the news event was over as soon as it started.

"Two years ago, a large study out of the UK showed that people with Down Syndrome who get COVID are four times more likely to be hospitalized, and 10 times more likely to die, than the general population. Studies since then have buttressed that research. Down Syndrome, or trisomy 21, is a genetic disorder caused by abnormal cell division that produces an extra chromosome.

The CDC last year updated its guidelines to include people with Down Syndrome at increased risk for severe COVID disease. By requiring that Special Olympians get vaccinated, you lower the risk of them catching COVID. This is highly elementary stuff.

But not in DeSantis' world. In DeSantis' world, you use whatever you can to make a political point. Even if it's disgusting. Even if it's horrible. Even if it's potentially deadly.

Even if it risks Special Olympians' lives."

New lows are practically a weekly thing for DeSantis. I wonder if anyone tracked subsequent infections.

Anti-vaccine doctor sentenced to prison for Capitol riot

A California doctor who is a leading figure in the anti-vaccine movement was sentenced on Thursday to two months in prison for storming the U.S. Capitol, where she delivered speeches to rioters during the mob's attack.

U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper in Washington, D.C., also sentenced Dr. Simone Gold to 12 months of supervised release after her 60-day prison term and ordered her to pay a $9,500 fine....

Not a stiff enough sentence. See article for what she did and her lies about it. Too bad that she can't be imprisoned for her homicidal COVIDiocy, too. Comment:

Should America reply to the vicious January Six attackers by denying these "citizens" the right to vote in future elections? Haven't they demonstrated though their seditious activities that they are a threat to our democracy and do not deserve a voice in our nation's local, state and federal elections? All citizens have a right to be critical of government actions, but NO ONE has the right to violate the terms of the US Constitution.

... Gold moved from California to Naples, Florida, after her arrest....

She's an anti-O Really.

If one is hesitant to get a COVID vaccine, this doctor opposes them; if one agrees, he has some pet supplies he wants to sell; meeting Dr. Mercola, perhaps the most influential spreader of COVID vaccine misinformation online.

Shocking.

The shocking allegations against Reicks come over a year after she and Peterson made a name for themselves in far-right communities for outspoken activism against mask mandates in schools. Describing themselves as the “Iowa Mama Bears,” the pair attended the Health and Freedom conference in April 2021, an event that featured prominent QAnon sympathizer Mike Flynn, according to Politifact.

There's a global pandemic of anti-vax COVIDiocy. New Zealand:

A baby whose anti-vax parents rejected heart surgery over fear of 'blood that is tainted' had the life-saving surgery anyway after a court intervened

... On Friday, dozens of protesters surrounded the hospital in support of the parents as the surgery went on, according to CNN affiliate Radio New Zealand. They gathered with signs, one of which read "Do not experiment on our children" and another that said "Support for Baby." ...

The Dem response to GQP voter suppression :

Almost twice as many Republicans than Democrats died of Covid, study says

... The initial takeaway is that nearly double the number of Republicans died than Democrats did during the pandemic, and the evidence suggests that vaccine adoption was a key contributing factor to those deaths.

In the early stages of the pandemic, the “excess deaths” between Republicans and Democrats were largely in line. The first major spike appears to have occurred in the winter of 2020, during which time excess deaths between the parties were generally equal....

The Covid-19 vaccines became available around the turn of the year, and took several months to widely distribute. By summer 2021, the study finds that Republican excess deaths had nearly doubled those of Democrats. The disparity in deaths became even more stark during the winter of 2021....

Three men sentenced to prison for aiding plot to kidnap Michigan governor

Three men convicted of playing supporting roles in a foiled plot to kidnap the governor of Michigan in 2020 were sentenced to multiple years in prison on Thursday, as two of the conspiracy's ringleaders await sentencing before the end of the month.

The three were convicted by a jury in October on charges of gang membership, firearm violations and providing material support for terrorism.

Jackson County Circuit Court Judge Thomas Wilson handed down a minimum sentence of 10 years to Joseph Morrison and 12 years to his father-in-law, Pete Musico. The third man, Paul Bellar, was given a minimum of seven years in prison.

Morrison, 28, and Musico, 44, could serve a maximum of 42 years in prison, depending on parole under the consecutive sentences handed down by Wilson. Bellar, 23, could serve as much as 22 years behind bars....

The plot was hatched in part from the frustrations of the defendants over restrictions the Democratic governor imposed during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic....

Seven of the accused, including Morrison, Musico and Bellar, have now been convicted by a jury or pleaded guilty to playing roles in the conspiracy. Two others were acquitted of federal charges at a trial in April.

In August, two alleged militia members accused of conspiring to trigger a "second American revolution" in the kidnapping plot were found guilty of kidnapping conspiracy charges. Adam Fox and Barry Croft Jr. were convicted at a retrial after the first trial in the spring ended with a hung jury. Two other defendants were acquitted during those proceedings.

Fox and Croft are scheduled to be sentenced later this month. They face the possibility of life in prison....

By definition RW terrorists are cowards that will even throw their own principles under the bus in vain hope of a reduced sentence. Too bad we can't imprison more of America's tragic and genocidal COVIDiocy.

Yeah, maybe twice as many Repugs died as Dems, but there's still way too many Repugs left. I'll bet with the right planted conspiracy theory they'd all jump right over a cliff.

19-year sentence for second ringleader in Michigan governor kidnap plot

A man who prosecutors say was one of the ringleaders in a plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has been sentenced to more than 19 years in prison.

Barry Croft Jr, 47, was convicted in August of plotting to kidnap the Democratic governor two years ago.

His prison sentence comes a day after another co-conspirator, Adam Fox, 39, was sentenced to 16 years....

Prosecutors had asked for life in prison for Croft.

The defendants targeted Ms Whitmer because of stringent Covid-19 restrictions she imposed early in the pandemic, according to prosecutors.

To be fair, I'm not sure that anyone should get more than 20 years, other than that life without parole is preferable to state killing for some murderers. So, I'm good with 19 and 16 years.

If it was COVID, karma.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_and_Silk

... On January 9, 2023, Diamond died at her home in North Carolina at the age of 51. Her death was announced by Trump on Truth Social; while he said that "probably her big and precious heart just plain gave out", her official cause of death was not immediately made clear. She had taken an absence from their Newsmax program with an unspecified illness in November 2022 before briefly returning in December.

Is the COVIDiot in Chief abetting a coverup?

... Their parents are Freeman Hardaway and Betty Willis Hardaway, televangelical pastors based in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Freeman and Betty Hardaway sold purported weight loss cures and wreaths to ward off witchcraft. For a fee of $50, Betty wrote the names of customers in a Bible, telling customers that this would make God answer their prayers.

Just like the TRE45QN family, grifting is in their blood.

... Beginning in March 2020, Hardaway and Richardson questioned various information about COVID-19 including whether or not the number of deaths from the pandemic was being inflated in order to make Donald Trump look incompetent. These questions led to the termination of their work with Fox News in April.

Did Former PINO kill another one and does covering it up equal death tally deflation?

I didn't either, though perhaps we should have. Rather, I was suspicious of “ovid” only. I know 'ovine' but had never heard that its synonym is “ovid”. So, I googled 'ovid sheep' and the fact check appeared at the top of the page.
