From The Mind of Merc - RFK

Time for August's Mind of Merc post.

Sometimes I find my mind wandering over various eclectic topics and occasionally I am inspired to write some of them down. Today I was thinking about RFK.

I cannot get over this comment made by RFK at a recent hearing. He legitimately said:

“We, you know, people, we need to stop trusting the experts…And trusting the experts is not a feature of science. It’s not a feature of democracy. It’s a feature of religion and it’s a feature of totalitarianism. ”

Umm… WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK?!? This is the Head of US Health and Human Services telling us experts are bad and not a part of science. Aside from the undeniable fact of how wrong this is, could it possibly be because the experts are not agreeing with all the other bizarre and frankly ridiculous stuff he’s come out with?

Like:

-          Vaccines are bad and cause autism – WRONG
-          COV-ID targets certain ethnic groups – WRONG
-          COV-ID vaccines are linked to “thousands” of deaths – WRONG
-          Vitamins are better for treating measles than vaccinations – result: massive measles outbreak and several deaths

But, hey, as long as he supports Trump – that’s clearly the most important thing(!)

Not About You - !!!NEW!!!

 I know I've used this song for a parody before but I think this version is a valuable message.

All About You Not About You not by McFly

It's not about you (not about you)
It's not about you, baby (it's not about)
It's not about you (not about you)
It's not about you

Yesterday, you posted something about this “flu”
You still need to wear a mask, It's not about you
Though you replied to me saying you know it’s “true”
It’s really not much to ask, it's not about you

And I will answer all your queries
If you force me to
But if you persist with your crazy theories
I must unfriend you
So listen close to the science, like we all must do
Just please put on a facemask
It's not about you, yeah

And I will answer all your queries
If you force me to
But if you persist with your crazy theories
I must unfriend you
So listen close to the science, like we all must do
Just please put on a facemask
It’s really not much to ask
Don’t make me take you to task 
It's not about you

It's not about you (not about you)
It's not about you, baby (it's not about)
It's not about you (not about you)
It's not about you, baby
It's not about you (not about you)
It's not about you, baby (it's not about you)
It's not about you (not about you)
It's not about you
It's not about you

From The Mind of Merc - COV-ID Deniers

Sometimes I find my mind wandering over various eclectic topics and occasionally I am inspired to write some of them down. Today I was thinking about the people who for some reason best known (or perhaps solely known) to them seem to think that the rules and restrictions relating to the COV-ID lockdown don't apply to them, are part of a conspiracy theory or worse that the entire pandemic is a hoax.

It led me to create this cartoon:
