Pfuck Pfizer!!

I stream WTIC AM 1080 out of Hartford most of the day for talk radio, and have been hearing a commercial spot for Pfizer's "Prevnar 20" pneumococcal vaccine. Below is a link to the ad campaign including an embedded video. I was unable to find an audio recording of the actual commercial I heard.

Pfizer Prevnar 20 Ad at ispot.tv

 

Go to the 0:25 mark in the video and read the text on the screen that says "Prevnar 20 is given by injection. It does not protect against all strains. Continued approval may depend on a supportive study." Did you catch that last part? On the radio spot they speak that quote but in the video you have to read it. You know what it says to me? EXPERIMENTAL CRAP THAT THEY ARE STILL TESTING and approval may be pulled at any time. Then we'll see the ads for the slip-n-fall lawyers asking "if you have been harmed by.... "

Just like the Chi-Com Xi Flu jabs, annual flu shots, shingles vaccine, etc. I now shun them all. And similar to the Chi-Com Xi Flu jabs, they don't offer 100% protection. So if you think this shot is a good idea for you, have at it, but I recommend against it.

They Are Hereby On Notice

Any politician that proposes, votes for, or otherwise supports the actual implementation of the forfeiture of my retirement funds to pay for ANYTHING other than my personal finances will immediately forfeit their lives, the lives of their spouses and children, pets and livestock, their parents and siblings, and have their homestead reduced to ashes.

Every year it seems some LIBTURD in congress proposes this and it never goes any where. This time it seems with the thin majority in the house easily defeated by traitors in the Stupid Party, an Evil Party majority in the senate, a demented Commie puppet in the White House, and weaponized government agencies, the danger is very real. Therefore, these morons need to realize the danger goes both ways. 

It will make January 6th look like a garden party.

Earf Hour.... PFFFFT!

Its between 8:30 PM and 9:30 PM right now on the East Coast. Every interior and exterior light will continue burning at my house until 9:30 as a beacon of the anti-environmentalist shithead realist I am. I hope all the air traffic flying overhead sees it among the darkness of my rural town that has its share of these Greta and Gore worshipping morons.

Goings On In The "Quiet Corner"

I took and passed my annual fire department "Interior Firefighter" physical yesterday, meaning another year of cheating death with interior attack firefighting inside burning buildings. The last one I was in occurred on February 16th. Nothing visible from the outside, we had to go in and look for it. First guy on scene did a 360 (walk around to see all sides of a building) and told us the fire was to the right. Unfortunately it was when he was looking at the back of the house, not the front where we went in. The house was filled with smoke, and we went down the hallway searching the bedrooms for the fire. The sound of the over the range microwave crashing to the floor in the kitchen behind us said to go the other way to check. Sure enough the fire was in the kitchen and the adjoining room. We knocked it down quick with a single hose line. Being in my 60's I am good for one cylinder of SCBA air for initial knock down and then I'm done. I am more than happy to let others go in to pull ceilings and do overhaul while staying outside to roll hose or run the pump.

With temps in the mid 50's and partly sunny yesterday afternoon, I got out on "The Beast" for an inaugural spring ride. Last time I was out was New Years Day. I pulled off the cover, disconnected the Battery Tender, topped off the tire air pressure, took it off the stands, and punched the starter button. It fired right up as I expected. I backed it out of the garage to let it get up to temperature, and took the opportunity to re-position the snowblower at the front of the bike. I won't move it down to the barn until its time to get the lawnmower and lawn furniture out. I don't need to have it put away for a surprise heavy spring snowstorm and get caught unprepared. I did a simple 20 mile loop around through my town and the next one over. Of course, since it was Friday, my normal shift partner was on duty, so I had to stop at the firehouse to torment him. I do circles in front of the Day Room window with the music blaring and honking the horn. I got the expected two hand middle finger salute out the window. I went around back and parked so he came out to B.S. for a bit. After that it was back home to put the bike away because today was predicted to be wet and crappy out. They were right for a change.

Good... No, GREAT Advice

As someone that walks around armed all the time except on duty at the firehouse, I have never thought about this type of situation, but the advice to just GET THE FUCK OUTTA THERE! is solid. Not only does it help keep you and yours from getting shot, but the cops not knowing your name as a witness is definitely in your favor after the incident. 

I try to avoid stupid places and situations as best I can, but you know the stupidity can catch you anywhere. This past weekend I visited a friend in Hartford Hospital, which is posted everywhere as a *GFDZ. Because like most hospitals in New England it is located in a Demon-Crap controlled shithole city, I ignore the GFDZ designation and carry anyway. A firearm cocked and locked with proper ammunition and two spare mags carried concealed. After dark that would include a tactical flashlight. I actually feel pretty safe inside the hospital itself, but it is the walk to and from and inside the parking garage that is the potential danger zone. Then there is the drive across the city to get onto the interstate to leave the shithole at high speed. The truck doors are locked with windows up, my firearm is in a Remora friction holster between my seat and the center console for easy access, and at every stop light I have an escape route should trouble come to my vehicle while stopped. The only way to up my game would be driving a M1 Abrams, MRAP, or maybe Kill Dozer.

*GFDZ = Gun Free Death Zone
