The Revenge of The Thin Blue Line 31: Covid didn't kill those Cops Conservative Propaganda did

"Why do we assume that the body’s natural immune system isn’t the marvel that it is? Why do we think that we can create something better than God in terms of combating disease?" Senator Ron Johnson (R- Moscow)

For the 3rd straight year, Covid is the prime killer of Police Officers in the United States.  I know Coppers everywhere want to claim that they are facing here-to-fore unprecedented dangers on the job but, the truth is Police Officers are so incurious, so reactionary, so petulant that they would rather die of a illness which a few small steps could prevent just to Own the Libs all while slavishly adhering to the Propaganda Campaign of Faux News and the rightwing internet;

A new report released Wednesday by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund looked at preliminary data and found that 226 federal, state, tribal and local law enforcement officers died last year while in the line of duty. Of those deaths, 70 can be attributed to COVID-19. However, this is an 83% decline compared to the 405 officers who died from COVID-19-related complications in 2021. 

Jab Jab Jab!

281 Officers died of COVID-19 complications in 2020.  Meanwhile, Officers continue to fantasize about Fentanyl poisoning and delude themselves that BLM Thugs are around every corner waiting to murder them.  In reality, suicide and heart disease are the biggest killers of Police Officers and white men in America.

Conservatives don't actually care about Law Enforcement.  Blue Lives Matter has always been naught but, a rhetorical cudgel to Bash the Left.  When it comes to a macro respect for Law & Justice conservatives have shown time and time again that they believe the Law exists to afflict, constrain and punish women, LGBTQ, minorities, Democrats, and anyone who doesn't know their place and role in their White Supremacist Society. 

Understand the Right (in America and elsewhere) is now fully invested and in full agitprop attack mode that the Covid Vaccine causes myocarditis, blood clots, and is killing thousands of people daily because they can not admit they were wrong about Covid, they were wrong about mitigation factors like masking and social distancing, and they are wrong about the efficacy and protective nature of the Vaccination protocol.  Too admit any of that would be to admit the entire edifice of their political and personal belief systems are rotten and untenable. 

The Died Suddenly Twitter account, which boasts an authoritative blue check mark it received after paying $8 a month, memorializes a long list of people who, we are led to believe, died of the vaccine, including the voice of Batman, Kevin Conroy, who very recently passed away from intestinal cancer. Except that scrolling through these names, it becomes apparent the list includes anyone who died suddenly, who died after a short illness, who died after a long illness, who died of cancer or of an immune condition or of a viral infection. Their vaccination status is often not even known. Basically, everybody dying after the vaccines were rolled out has now been killed by the jab.

It started with deliberately lying about the VAERS reporting in 2020, continued throughout the ridiculous magnetism and 5G microchip claims of lunatic rightwingers and has now coalesced into an international well-funded and powerfully motivated campaign.  Expect the misinformation, disinformation, and outright lies, to continue to grow and spread because The Killer Jab and DIED SUDDENLY narrative gives great power over peoples' lives to Rightwingers and that is what the Global Right wants; the Power to control you and the power to kill you. 

And if a few dozen Police Officers die?  Well their Thin Blue sacrifice is the price the Authoritarian Right is willing to pay in the quest to create their Fascist Dystopia.

The Revenge of the Thin Blue Line 12: I would do anything for Health; but I won't get Vaxxed

"Oh, God. We’re being controlled by everybody. But not me. If I die, I die, but I’m not going to be controlled.” - Meatloaf's final song...

Meatloaf has died, apparently of Covid.  While Loaf's career spanned 50 years I as a GenXer know him for his power ballad I would do anything for love parentheses but I won't do that parentheses and his role in the Chuck Palahniuk film Fight Club.  His name was Loaf took (or always was) a hard right-winger belting out a ridiculous America the Beautiful for Vulture Capitalist Mitt R-Money 2012 Presidential campaign. 

But, once again Covid shows the Republican ideology is death.  

And nothing illustrates this more than the large city of Aurora, Illinois.  We are coming up on the two year anniversary of a Mass Shooting in Aurora, Illinois (I have to add Illinois in so you don't get confused with the mass shootings in Aurora, Colorado) in which 4 responding Police Officers were shot and wounded.  Of course 6 other people were murdered prior to Police arrival so in the NRA inspired guerrilla warfare upon the United States this was another win for the blood-soaked Gun Industry. 

But, in the past week 2 Aurora Police Officers have succumbed to Covid.

It is a grotesque inversion of threat analysis that Police Officers have been brainwashed by Republican liars to nonchalantly risk their lives and remain unvaccinated.  For the second straight year Covid is the leading cause of death amongst Police Officers nationwide.  

Are departments properly informing Officers of the actual risks?  Laying out the actual facts for Officer Safety?  In 21 days of January we have 11 Officer deaths from Covid.  Probably, not because so many Sheriffs and Officers have spent decades steeped in the incestious rightwing echo chamber of fear, lies, and propaganda.  They trust Fucker Carlson more than Doctor Anthony Fauci and take the missives of The White Male Grim Reaper Candeath Owens as the True Gospel. Blue Lives Matter?  Not to Republicans who see dead Americans as a political winner.
