Progressive hypocrite AOC gets Covid Vaccine ahead of needy – Twitter users vent at Congress rule that sees ‘politicians cutting the line’

AOC wears two masks to get her Pfizer vaccine and shares moment with her 8.2m Instagram followers – but Twitter users vent at Congress rule that sees ‘politicians cutting the line’

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez documented her experience getting the COVID-19 vaccine on Instagram in an effort to convince followers to follow suit when it becomes available to them.

The New York socialist, known for her strong social media presence, posted a string of videos on Friday when the jab was offered to her and other members of Congress.

At the start of the thread, the 31-year-old urged her 8.2 million followers to send in their questions, writing: ‘Just like wearing a mask, I’d never advise you to do something I wasn’t willing to do myself.’

AOC is a true socialist, willing to cut in line ahead of those who need it most.

‘Show us the evidence’: Scientists call for clarity on claim that new Covid-19 variant strain is 70% more contagious

Boris Johnson was last night urged to publish clear evidence of the Covid data he used to cancel Christmas for millions.

The Prime Minister has warned the new variant of coronavirus may be up to 70 per cent more transmissible than previous strains and could overwhelm the NHS.

But last night one scientist demanded greater transparency over the number that shut down swathes of the UK.

LILLEY: Trudeau bans UK flights, but is it too late to stop new COVID strain

The Trudeau government is blocking flights from the United Kingdom as Britain deals with a new strain of COVID-19 that apparently spreads faster and easier than what we have been dealing with over the last year.

The future of work: How the pandemic’s ‘awakening’ will shape Canada’s labour force

Canada’s first robot barista kiosk emerged in Toronto’s upscale Yorkville neighbourhood in September. The Dark Horse Automat espresso bar offers specialty coffee on demand, delivered without any human contact to the caffeine-seeker.

This is one of countless innovative new ways of getting work done that were born out of the pandemic. The automat is an example of technology that can replace several shifts of work, perhaps even a barista position or two, though it requires servicing and regular maintenance. In fact, there are few facets of the way that we approach and perform our work that haven’t been impacted by the pandemic.

Birx travels, family visits highlight pandemic safety perils

As COVID-19 cases skyrocketed before the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, Dr. Deborah Birx, coordinator of the White House coronavirus response, warned Americans to “be vigilant” and limit celebrations to “your immediate household.”

For many Americans that guidance has been difficult to abide, including for Birx herself.

The day after Thanksgiving, she traveled to one of her vacation properties on Fenwick Island in Delaware. She was accompanied by three generations of her family from two households. Birx, her husband Paige Reffe, a daughter, son-in-law and two young grandchildren were present.

The shocking cruelty of cancelling Christmas

So Christmas is cancelled. The neo-Cromwellian edict has been issued. The thing that Boris Johnson said would be ‘inhuman’ just a few days ago has now been done. For the first time in centuries people in vast swathes of England – London and the South East – will be forbidden by law from celebrating Christmas together. The government’s promise of five days’ relief from the stifling, atomising, soul-destroying lockdown of everyday life has been snatched away from us. It’s too risky, the experts say; the disease will spread and cause great harm. You know what else will cause great harm? This cruel, disproportionate cancellation of Christmas; this decree against family festivities and human engagement.

But we have new traditions like “The Rat Out Your Neighbors Advent Calendar.”

This pick up game in a quiet part of Calgary was not quiet Thursday.

Pinkerton: The Covid Class War — the Liberated vs. the Locked Down

One rule for thee, and one rule for me. That sort of hypocrisy has been baked into human power relations, since, well, forever. As the Greek historian Thucydides wrote 2,500 years ago, “The strong do what they will, and the weak suffer what they must.”

Today, in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, we are seeing power-hypocrisy once again, as politicians and plutocrats live one way, while telling everyone else to live another way.

‘I cried for days’: The businesses that shut for good in 2020

There are few – if any – who have been unaffected by the pandemic. Lives have been taken and jobs lost.

People have been effectively trapped in their homes for weeks on end, weddings have been cancelled or curtailed, church services forced online and holidays at home and abroad abandoned, sometimes at an enormous cost. Far too many people have even been denied the chance to properly mourn their loved ones.

And then there are the businesses that have been forced to shut up shop as a direct result of the crisis. Many of the businesses that are now closed for good would have started the year full of hope for a bright future.

WARMINGTON: No masking lockdown’s role in increased mental health, addiction issues

The mandated muzzle on our faces is a symbol of more than mask-rule compliance.

It’s a reminder to keep one’s mouth closed!

Vaccines? You can’t ask questions about that. Why are the COVID-19 numbers rising despite the hardcore lockdown measures? Don’t dare ask.
