Dispatches From the Fortress – Day 414

I see a lot of folks online today presuming Rudy Giuliani is about to be cuffed and hauled off to the slammer. Well, maybe. What we know about the case would lead us in that direction…but I remember all the times when right-wingers were dead-certain Hillary C. was about to be incarcerated for obvious, undeniable crimes. Maybe we oughta wait until someone is arrested before we celebrate their arrest.

Podcaster Joe Rogan is walking back comments he made on his show that young people don't need to be vaccinated. Joe Rogan is not a doctor, he's a fucking moron…and that's not what I'm saying about him, that's what he's saying about him, adding "I'm not a respected source of information, even for me." Too many people who have a microphone and an audience think those equate to a diploma from an accredited medical school.

Don't get your medical advice from the Joe Rogans of the world or the Tucker Carlsons or politicians or even me. Here's my medical advice: Find a real, honest-to-Hippocrates, licensed doctor that you trust and listen to them. They may not be infallible but they'll be right a lot more often than you are.
