Andrew Fauci vs. Rand Paul.<\/strong> I saw this meme today and was curious about it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Apparently, Rand Paul (who has a medical degree but is not certified by any reputable board) decided to repeat the fallacy about Anthony Fauci having ties to the lab in Wuhan that created COVID<\/a>. Sorry Rand, I’m with Dr. Fauci on this one, given that he actually has the credentials to back him up, something you don’t have.<\/p>\n

Dispatch from a doctor.<\/strong> My friend Katie is a pro-life Catholic hospitalist (adding the adjectives in case people might listen better with them), and she posted the following message:<\/p>\n

\"Vax<\/p>\n

For those who aren’t aware, a “hospitalist” is a doctor who takes care of you IN THE HOSPITAL. (The red spot on her forehead is from the faceshield she wears in addition to her mask when she walks into a patient’s room.) In other words, she’s seeing scary cases coming into the hospital again. Listen to Katie. Vax up!<\/p>\n

Break-through cases.<\/strong> For those who are going to cite the fact that there are still people who are vaccinated that get COVID, here’s the difference between someone who is vaccinated and someone who is unvaccinated:<\/p>\n

\"Vax<\/p>\n

Make good choices.<\/strong> I thought this was interesting advice.<\/p>\n

\"Make<\/p>\n

Finally, someone putting my feelings into words.<\/strong> For those people who say that other people should deal with [insert thing] because they had to deal with it, I have a message for you:<\/p>\n

\"Weird,<\/p>\n

<\/a>— 6 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

U.S. residential school stories.<\/strong> For those who remember me blogging on residential schools for Native Americans<\/a> a few weeks ago, one of the things I promised to do was learn more about the issue in the USA. Here are a few stories I read this week:<\/p>\n

AP: US churches reckon with traumatic legacy of Native schools<\/a><\/p>\n

AP: Tribe claims remains of kids who died at assimilation school<\/a><\/p>\n

Salt Lake Tribune: Lost lives, lost culture: The forgotten history of Indigenous boarding schools<\/a><\/p>\n

My blog is old enough to drink.<\/strong> So, um, my blog turned 21<\/a> on July 20th. *raises my can of Coke to it*<\/p>\n
