The Colonel #32 Shaking My Head

 


 

I am going to preface this post by saying that I was at Wal-Mart when it took place. While some strange stuff (and folks) happen at Wal-Mart, today’s excursion was the most shaking my head moment for me in a long time.

It was a typical busy afternoon at America’s safest place to be. The guards were off the gate, but thoroughly condition at this point everyone filed in wearing a mask. We had not gotten far along the traffic designated aisles when we were confronted by a sign announcing, “Flu Vaccines This Way.”

I didn’t believe it at first, but further investigation revealed that flu vaccines were indeed being offered in the store. I was thunderstruck. America’s largest retailer, the champions of mask protocol, had the audacity to tacitly admit to anyone with a modicum of reason that masks are BS.

If as you were told, masks are your salvation, why would you be afraid of the flu? Isn’t that mandatory mask working anymore? Surely the mask that slew the CoVid19 dragon can protect you from the petty ass flu.

More incredible than that vaccinations were being offered were the fools lined up to get them. But then, remember, this is Wal-Mart we’re talking about.

There are three possible explanations. First, we really are a nation of mindless idiots. I refuse to believe that, but my resistance is crumbling due to repeated attempts to prove it so by my neighbors.

The second, and a favorite of mine, is that wearing masks was bull biscuits from Day 1 and meant for mind control rather than virus control.

The third awaits the media blitz explaining how CoVid19 mated with the flu and the twain have become one and are bent on the destruction of lower- and middle-income people. Masks will continue to save us, but we cannot go anywhere, do anything or attempt to reason about any of this.

My money is on Number 3 and total compliance with a fresh round of safety measures executed “for the good of all” and free merchandise from city businesses using the Brick One card.

Bless y'all's pea-pickin' little hearts.
