I’m too lazy to look but I’m assuming a white dude from Louisiana probably has a steady quote trail of “just the flu” or worse.

I checked his twitter and didn’t see any crazy in there actually, one radical socialist reference. Seems correct that this guy would die and all the fucks In Congress are fine

I scanned the last few months of his tweets and I didn’t find anything written that was bad. A few pictures with masks but many more pictures without them. Super duper pro-life, super duper Jesusy, some @s to total scumbags but interestingly I didn’t see any general election stuff. I stopped at October.
He had a very young family, I hope there’s room enough to say that this is sad. Looked pretty healthy.

Only thing I could find re: covid without spending too much time was this:
“We have to make sure our economy gets back open. We have to learn how to live in a COVID world. Other nations have learned how to do that and they’ve done so safely and we have to continue to do that,” Letlow said.
There’s also a recent pic of him at some campaign stop, indoors, no masks, maybe modest social distancing.
Another article says he avoids the “bombastic rhetoric” of other conservatives, because he wants to represent all voters in his district, was courting D votes blah blah blah.
Doesn’t seem like the typical GOP ghoul, so yeah, of course he’d pass instead of Mitch or Don or whoever.

that was because his race was december 5th
it’s just the overton window now we’re like, couldn’t it have been one of the lunatics instead of just standard conservative republican guy?
also he had a 11 month old

I didn’t see any Dear Leader tweets is what mean
I mean, wearing a mask puts him in the top 5% of the GOP on COVID. Of course 87 year old Chuck Grassley has no issue, not to mention literally every member of the administrative branch, fuck you 2020.

I can likely get the vaccine tomorrow AM if I want to wait in line competing with other healthcare workers. Any thoughts on the morality of doing so (vs bowing out for others who might be higher risk than I) are welcome.
I’m 35 and pretty healthy, but my wife is 6 months pregnant, with asthma and an autoimmune disorder (though she runs a bunch of marathons so she’s pretty fit otherwise). My work-related exposure is way below that of an ER doc but also higher than some others I know who have already been poked.
I’m strongly leaning toward waiting, FWIW. It would be an absolute no-brainer to sit it out if I was single.
ETA: My risk comes from working with kids whose specific needs (e.g., autism spectrum disorders, profound suicidality due to isolation) preclude effective telehealth services.

Get the jab, man, how is this even debatable.

Thanks. I’m thinking about the hypothetical 70-year old doctor whose slot I might take, but maybe those folks have already gotten it.
R gets a WINNAR designation. The committee does send its regrets to his family.
Windmill fist pump take it if you want it.
Get it dude. Come on.
Seems like someone living with someone with an immune disorder ought to be very close to the top of the list, I wouldn’t lose sleep worrying about the ethics of it.
