For some reason.<\/p>\n<p>At first, I struggled to understand why people would flood emergency rooms during the holidays for free Covid tests when they aren\u2019t. even. sick. Then I realized that a positive test means two weeks of paid time off. So, why not try your luck? You might get a nice holiday break out of it.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes I think the government has totally screwed up all the incentives.

I mean, I suppose that \u201cunboosted\u201d technically includes uninjected people, but that doesn\u2019t really work, does it? Johnson could have easily said, 90% of people in the ICU were \u201cnot boosted or not vaccinated.\u201d But he just said \u201cnot boosted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So anyway, I suppose that where we\u2019re at now is: it\u2019s the boosted versus everyone else. Are you surprised that they are using the same shaming techniques against the previously fully-vaccinated? You shouldn\u2019t be. After all, the fully-vaccinated taught them those techniques work, by giving in and getting the first set of jabs<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;An article out of local WCAX-Vermont reported this week that Covid-positive Vermonters with NO SYMPTOMS are clogging up the state\u2019s emergency rooms.
