There is no longer any reason why healthcare providers need to be required to be vaccinated.  The vaccine doesn't protect against spread of the coronavirus and it is ineffective against the dominant Omicron strains, present in Oregon.  Boosters put you at risk of complications, such as myocarditis.  And the more boosters you get, the more you're at risk of getting an Omicron variant.  It's no wonder that we have a healthcare personnel shortage.

In Honolulu, Waikiki Beach is beset by homeless tents, just like downtown Portland.  But instead of sweeping them away, Honolulu's leader close the beach.  Real smart.

It will be interesting to see what the Supreme Court has to say about Section 230 protection, and how they will rule in these two cases.  Some people will decry that free speech is lost (as if it weren't already), but maybe we'll see more responsible internet content.  People can still create their own blogs.  But I look forward to the day when stupid speech dies in obscurity like before, rather than appearing in the evening news.

Will Idaho make the administration of mRNA vaccines a criminal offense?
One thing about watching this video is how poorly informed they seem to be about getting into the details about what they may legislate.  Just a few brief and banal questions, "I heard that..." or "I thought that..." and the bill gets introduces.  Don't get me wrong - I think they are on the right track.  But is this how legislation begins?  Scary.
