All the News that Fits, Vaccine Nation Dept. 0
At AL.com, Paul Gattis reports on doctors’ efforts to quell myths about and promote vaccination against COVID-19 in Alabama, the least vaccinated state in the country. It is an uphill battle.
Here’s an excerpt:
“I remember one particular elderly female who was literally trembling,” she said. “She was trembling because she knew COVID was running rampant but she started to cry because she was tuned in to some media stations and she was terrified of getting the vaccine because of all the reasons she felt that the vaccine would also be detrimental to her health. So therefore, an innocent human being was just paralyzed for making a decision for herself.”

All the News History that Fits

As one who trained as an historian (focus on ante bellum U. S. Southern), who has never lost interest in it, and who has ancestors who held slaves (as the saying goes), I can attest what Hawley would pass off as America’s history is a fable, a tale told by an idiot, unmoored from fact and adrift in a sea of white supremacy. (I’ll stop now, lest I sink into profanity).
We are a society of stupid.

If the anti-critical race theory and anti-truth forces have their way, many Americans — particularly my fellow white people — will not know what historically has been done in our name, and we will be denied the opportunity to acknowledge, understand, and repair it.
Those who know not the truth will live lies.
