Remember the baseline: In order to retain their Marxist ideological objectives, radical leftists must always pretend not to know things. Part of the process of ‘not knowing’ is making up things that are exactly the opposite….
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot held a press conference today as hundreds of police officers will likely be fired effective tomorrow for not taking the mandated COVID vaccine. At the beginning of the video segment below, in an effort to explain her position, Mayor Lightfoot claims that vaccinated people in Chicago cannot carry and/or transmit the COVID-19 virus. WATCH (first two minutes):
The policy of the mayor is grounded in a claim that is totally and utterly refuted by all science. Vaccinated people carry, transmit and shed the SARS-CoV-2 virus just like non-vaccinated people. Actually, there is scientific evidence that vaccinated people who contract the virus (so called “breakthrough cases”) factually end up with a much higher viral load, and shed the virus at a much higher rate than non-vaccinated persons.
As a result, a genuine public health policy would be the exact opposite of what Lightfoot is claiming. If you wanted to keep exposure to the virus at a minimum for those in the public who encounter first-responders, it would actually be better policy to have first-responders be unvaccinated. The unvaccinated are less of a risk to the general population by a factual outcome of their carrying/shedding less virus.
In another policy maneuver to force the police to get vaccinated, “Chicago Police Superintendent David O. Brown said that those officers who do choose to retire rather than follow City Hall’s orders “may be denied retirement credentials.” (link) Chicago police officials made it clear on Thursday that officers who refused to comply with the city’s mandate risk being disciplined or fired.
With her,.. I’m fairly sure there is no pretense. My brother is in the teachers union and they all joke about she may have ridden the short bus. She filled key quotas, gay, woman, black, corrupt.
And married to a woman who used to be a man. She really did have ALL the boxes checked.
My liberal neice lives in downtown Chicago and is appalled.
This niece’s mother, my sister, cut me off ( tensions started with obama). I am grateful we are able to respectfully disagree with each other and have fortunately kept our relationship intact with her since 2015 snd President Trump coming down the escalator.
The liberal shift is deep.
Perhaps I don’t understand English but I did not hear her say vaccinated people in Chicago do not carry covid-19 virus. I’ve listened to the first two minutes several times.
She states that having the 1st responders “Vaxxed” will keep the residents safe by NOT getting them sick
Since they can transmit and she says they should not pass it to the public, they should all stay home.
The questions for you are… can a “vaccinated” person, get the virus, then carry it and, shed it as well…
We have been informed that yes is the answer to each question above.
How then can it be said that “vaccinated” first reponders and front line workers cannot make anyone sick…
She implies it when she says the public deserves to know that they’re not going to get sick from contact with first responders who are NOT vaccinated. This implies that only the unvaccinated can transmit the virus, but we know that is not true. The vaccinated are capable, even more capable of transmitting the virus. The mandates are idiotic and do not promote public health. FACT.
We go from her saying it to her implying it?
WHAT do YOU think she meant by the language she used?
I am responding to you alone because there are posters here always looking for a fight and I am not here to fight. You have always been polite so I return the favor. I am glad you asked the question because it clarified where I was getting hung up.
My question was based on this sentence – “Mayor Lightfoot claims that vaccinated people in Chicago cannot carry and/or transmit the COVID-19 virus.” I guess I was expecting to hear those exact words. Nevertheless that IS what she “said”.
YOU are the one who used the word “say”. The premise was that she concocted her own science. In other words she implied the opposite of what science has confirmed about vaxxed people carrying a higher viral load and no protection from infection. No one went from saying to implying. That’s on you.
And to think, some say the Looney Bird is extinct.
Love it! Thanks. Personally, I think that they are ‘populating’ like crazy…
Godly. Wise. Beautiful. Loving.
What more could a city want for mayor?
I know, I’m supposed to love my enemies.
I fail miserably at loving my enemies. I simply can’t get past wanting to tar and feather them.
Tar and a lighter really works wonders.
I just pray for smotting
I miss the fire & brimstone days.
I really just want to keep them from killing my children and grandchildren and many others in the world and destroying my kids future.
Something wrong with that?
There is no way in ten times of hell am I going to love my enemies.
Fang, I just love em straight to death!
I love them so much that I want them to receive everything from God that they have coming.
Oh, maybe a bug-eyed lunatic just for fun?
So she wants them to have the “final kill-shot” for humanity:
https://rumble.com/vnua9l-whats-in-the-jab.html
So all the deep blue states with the deep red pension funds all want you desperately to take the shot. Maybe it is a kill shot and they want dead retired city workers to bail out the pension system. Actuaries, man you abacuses!
Appalling. Just follow orders.
They’re calling the officer’s bluff.
Let’s hope it’s not a bluff. Make them fire half or more of their workforce. The city would implode.
That is their hope. I truly believe that.
We’ll find out, soon! And, while not as “loud”, Firefighters are apperently on board, as well.
THIS could get interesting, REAL fast!
Of coarse, City management doesn’t CARE about the “well being” of its citisens, even putting out gunshot trauma kits was actually graft; $500 for (basically) a couple of cotexes, give me a break!
And to think – Mrs O’Leary’s cow came soooo close to fixing the problem.
Treepers are inundated with humorists… Thanks.
The sad part is there are many who believe her.
Thanks to the American Educational/Indoctrination system. The dumbing down of America is well on the way to completion.
I think the fact that people like her are still among the living is proof that right wing extremist organizations or white supremacists don’t really exist.
There’s no body count of wacko leftist to point to.
You actually think,….”she”(?) is “among the living”?
“She” who looks like Beatlejuice?
And the tax-paying base will continue to flee her dystopian version of Chicago.
Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice!
This Dr./scientist says otherwise:
Dr. Harvey Risch: “ No. I put it the other way around. The unvaccinated should be afraid of the vaccinated. They’re just as infected. In fact, maybe more infected. If vaccinated, people are infected. So it is well known that it is the vaccinated people that generate the mutant strains and not the unvaccinated people. And that has led that corruption of the medical establishment saying that unvaccinated people are generating the mutants is an absolute falsehood. It is exactly the opposite. This has been known for 100 years that it’s vaccinated people who are more prone to generate mutant strains.”
https://rumble.com/vnp86b-vaccine-mandates-and-much-much-more-with-yale-epidemiologist-dr.-harvey-ris.html
So maybe in the long run all of the un-vaxed who lose their jobs are no longer must associate with these sick vaxed workers have been done a favor by this Beetlejuice creature.
They are not being exposed to the mutant strain of this nasty virus and can stay clean and pure.
That is worth something.
Joe RoGAN vs MSM
This mayor disgusts me. She is going on and on about this stupid mandate yet blacks are killing each other a rate not seen in years. Get your priorities together lady with the man suit.
I’m a dude, but Michael Keaton is totally more attractive than her, even when dressed like Beetlejuice.
Youngest is 21, works at Publix. Said they started tonight telling them they have to get the clot shot.
That’s disappointing to hear. Many have gone back to wearing masks in Publix. No one has commented that I don’t have one, which I find interesting..
I will ask when I go to my local Publix here in St. Petersburg Florida. I have not heard that.
It’s for your own good, Racist
John Hopkins weighs in in August 2021
https://publichealth.jhu.edu/2021/new-data-on-covid-19-transmission-by-vaccinated-individuals
AstraZeneca has no part or particle of the Covid-19 virus; so how pray tell can this vaccine cause viral shedding?
Science is hard kinda like math.
Apparently just as racist as math too/s
Meanwhile on the east coast, another intelligence challenged dipstick spoke:
“By the way, he had serious underlying conditions, as you know, that’s the problem. It wasn’t that the vaccinations aren’t good, he had two very serious underlying conditions”
~ bidet on Powells death
This means that EVERY death attributed to covid MUST be reviewed, and if underlying conditions caused the death, then thats what stands. Lets just count the number of people who actually died of just covid, and then we can see how deadly this virus really is.
Making up “The Science!”, a la Covid Nostra tradition.
Denizens of locked wards make up their reality as they go along, too.
But it doesn’t make it real or true, just more globaloney commie lies.
Expect more of this. Plan accordingly. Seek God while he may yet be found.

Is that all, honestly I thought it would be higher much higher.
Then why are they all still wearing masks?

“Then why are they all still wearing masks?”
They don’t research. They listen to CNN. They catter to fear. And they’re stupidly happy! Go figure.

This is what a complete lack of leadership ability looks like. She is a one trick pony. All she ever does is threaten and bully. She has pissed off, alienated, and made enemies of everyone. Painful to watch her repeated failures.
Mayor IT.
Same I.Q. as a rusty bucket of $#!+.
And just as brilliant.
You may be giving that thing too much credit Sundance. It may not actually NOT know much of anything.
Why is this person still in office??
ChiCongo isn’t an idle term of contempt.
Will Chicago ever elect a competent politician? What is wrong with people.
I have to say, I always thought The Innsmouth Look was fictional but apparently not.
Dumb as a brick. Must’ve gone to Chicago public school.

She presides over the the rapid demise of the greatest city in America (my hometown). This afternoon, another Chicago Police officer was shot, this time in the face. But don’t despair – the officer’s injuries (according to the lying local media) are “not life threatening.” On the other hand, Chicago itself is on life support.

Sounds like a big lawsuit.
I better understand the idea of literacy tests for living voters too.
She says the same crap as Biden. Blame the unvaccinated blah blah blah.
The difference btwn vaccinated and unvaccinated is that the former are at risk from vaccine injury.
An individual member of the public shouldn’t care about the status of the 1st responder helping him.
But as a matter of public policy, 1st Responders are too important to us all to allow the risk from vaccination.
In Chicago, none of the above matters.
Everyone learns at their own pace.
(And everyone wants to be governed by their own kind, no matter the competence.)
If Mayor Lightloafer and other tyrants get their way, it will establish the principle that they can inject you whenever they decide. Even with experimental drugs. If you get an exemption, that still establishes the principle that they alone control exemptions and may withdraw them whenever they so choose, not you.
Even a testing option establishes the principle that they may order you to undergo medical testing at their whim. And there is no reason to assume Fauci and his Chinee chums have ceased building even more Super-Bugs and $uper-Vaxxes even as we speak.
Once these principles are established, THEY WILL NEVER WILLINGLY GIVE UP THESE POWERS OVER YOUR HEALTH, YOUR FREEDOM AND YOUR CAREER.
THEY MUST BE STOPPED NOW.
Isn’t that what it is all about, hiding that millions of Americans won’t get their pensions, SS is going to run out along w/other programs, we don’t have the money, and of course their need for control. Nice excuse to blame the cops why they won’t get their pension. Kill you off w/the shot or deny you your money if you resist. What a scam.
When is the dam going to break?
Beatlejuice SAID it; she actually invoked the “I” word,…INSURRECTION.
So, now in addition to the Jan 6 protesters, COPS are guilty of “Insurrection”.
As for “Lawful Orders”; they ain’t lawful, unless/until the Courts SAY they are,..I know, “Courts”,…just sayin,..
I can only hope that she does as she mandates, and takes the jab, and boosters too.
She’s not pretending. She’s just dumb.
Not even worth a comment.
an epidemic of the vaccinated – by el gato malo – bad cattitude (substack.com)
Is this how we finally get a federalized police force in the major cities in this country?
If only she put as much effort into stopping the daily shootings and murders in her city.
noting:
by this twisted logic, police should not be allowed to respond to anyone who tests positive for covid!
by this twisted logic, police should not be allowed to respond to anyone who represents any kind of danger!
by this twisted logic, first responders must first determine vaccination status AND current infection status before doing any life saving work
by this twisted logic, any first responders and police may only help save lives if there is zero threat of harm to them and others.
reality: police and first responders, following a long tradition based on law and ethics, have saved lives, arrested criminals, stopped crime for well over a year, while NO ONE had been vaccinated. They did this and took this risk, BECAUSE THAT IS THE JOB. Where is any evidence that this action caused or contributed to any harm to themselves or other by transmitting the virus? If that is the assumption, then please point to any policy and ruling that this mayor or police chief stated in writing officially they are not to do their jobs!
you can refer this same argument to health care professional, also first responders.
THE ONLY reason for this action NOW, is to FORCE MANDATE for vaccination of mRNA for a threat that these officers and first responders are far more likely to have already been exposed to and gained immunity from infection.
DARKFoot is a simple minded monster.
If the police are serious about rejecting this mayor, all it would take to make a point of resolve is to remove the protection team from her company for a week.

There once was a quaint old notion in the law which forbade cruel and unusual punishment.
These disproportionate measures and over-the-top threats are very telling of the fear and anxiety driving the madness of these despots.
I think this woman’s political doppelganger is jay inslee.
Theirs are the politics of psychopathy.
Delusional, and unfit for purpose.
