American Consequences - October 2021

FROM OUR INBOX

Outstanding, I’m passing it along to friends and encouraging them all to read it and the rest of AC. Thanks. – Dave C. P.J. O’Rourke Response: You’re welcome, Dave. And we welcome your role as social-media influencer. We like to think that promoting AC is a big step up from touting some stinky thing some Kardashian has bottled up to sell as a perfume. Re: Corona Wars: Biden’s Authoritarian COVID-19 Battle Amazing article. I know the dangers of COVID-19, as my wife and I suffered terribly from it in July (as did more than one of our vaccinated friends) and my mother died of it in August. But the politization of it is disturbing. Perhaps the states (Florida in particular, my home) could issue COVID survivor cards to show that we aren’t dangerous anymore. – James H. Buck Sexton Reply: James, I’m very sorry to read of your mother’s passing. I appreciate you reaching out with your thoughts. I too had COVID, and therefore am more likely to be protected than a person who is “fully vaccinated,” which may not even be the phrase going forward as boosters are rolled out. The refusal of the Fauciite apparatus to grapple with natural immunity as part of their policy mandates is appalling, and shows a lack of respect for the science and data they profess to rely on.

P.J. O’Rourke Response: Thank you very much, Sharon. There have been a lot of hard- fought and close-call presidential elections in American history. But, with one exception (that led to the Civil War), the losers have lost gracefully. It’s not a matter of political party or even a matter of the candidates’ character. It’s a matter of patriotism. The supposedly wicked Richard Nixon did not contest his somewhat-fishy loss to JFK in 1960. And Al Gore had a reasonable case to continue denying George W. Bush’s victory. But that’s not how patriots behave.
