It was announced today as Biden – as he got his SECOND COVID-19 shot – that he was going to mandate that all vaccine held in reserve so that people who got their first shot would get their second shot … is to be released to everyone to get their first shot.
There are no studies – that I am aware of – that shows that a person getting a COVID-19 from two different manufactures is going to produce a 90%+ effectiveness that is what studies have showed of a person getting the two shots from the same manufacturer.
Biden claimed that he was going to FOLLOW THE SCIENCE… but there is no science to justify this…
I get the opinion that this administration/Congress is going to ram-rod a whole lot of new “controls” – new regulations on the citizens of our country… that are not going to set very well with the majority of citizens. Pelosi & Schumer could care less, because Pelosi has already indicated that this is her last term – she is now 80 and Schumer is up for re-election in 2022 and AOC has already made “some noise” about running for his seat… after all two years ago she defeated another <D> incumbent for the seat that she now holds.. Chuck is currently ONLY 70.
Here is a video dated 09/01/2020 a compilation of media talking heads, “hollywood” and bureaucrats/politicians called for UNREST … etc….etc.. That got what they wanted a few days ago and now they are all outraged that it happened.
I am concerned that some of those “new controls” will be directed at the community and their need for pain management using opiates.
Anyone in the community that believes that the members of administration/Congress that is suppose to represents you… are your basic “dreamers” …they could give a rat’s ass about what you need/want.
I am wondering how long it is before the community wake up. How many petitions have been signed, how many comments have been made during public comment periods on proposed changes, how many times do you have to write to your members of Congress about denial of care …only to get a letter back about the opiate crisis ? AND … nothing has moved in a positive direction more in a NEGATIVE DIRECTION.
Corporations/people spend 9+ million/day lobbying the 535 members of Congress. The last election was estimated that 12-14 BILLION was spent and the Georgia Senate run off was estimated to cost upwards of 500 million. The Georgia election was largely funded by entities OUTSIDE OF THE STATE.
It use to be thought that politicians cared about two things votes and dollars… after what has been said about the past election… what counts is dollars and people who can collude to make sure that the person they want to win… gets sufficient number of votes to win… the total votes being exclusively from living/legally registered voters is just an illusion.
What will be interesting if those handful of states that were the most troublesome this time will do anything to make changes to make the number of votes that they report has any credibility. After the voting mess in Florida in 2000 over their punch card system… everything was changed and this past election they were able to report the number of votes cast a couple of hours after the polls closed.
One infamous politician said one time ” IT TAKES A VILLAGE”… the chronic pain community – when it comes to getting something done – is nothing more than a few wandering souls.

Somebody please name me a pol of any party in the last many years who followed the science.
I so desperately need the EDIT function where ever I shoot of my sayings… Neurontin doesn’t help good writing either…
READ THIS ONE;
Now these folk neither love the Constitution unless it serves their immediate need OR read the Bible to any benefit…
Joseph Stalin sent most of the people that helped him rise to the firing squad or to the Gulag in Siberia to work to death in the snow and mud in the winter or to work to death with the mosquitos and mud in the summer, even the wife of his very closest advisor.
But news didn’t travel as fast back then as it does now… ‘Where is Leonov???’ might not be asked and answered for two months or more and by then of course it was too late to be shocked and likely too dangerous to be shocked.
Guns mean power and always have, the power to kill and get clean away with it. What motive does today’s hedonistic, ‘Married… with Children was funny’, rapping, tattooing society have for maintaining ANY law or semblance of order save that the guns will not be far away if things get too loud?
All of this pure power lust still exists today in our Reps etc… They just don’t have the ‘shoot them’ option at hand as easily as Old Joe did, …yet.
…No, but what they DO HAVE is SLANDER, the destruction of one’s name with lies and the “news” ready in the wings to instantly spread it far and wide, for instance, when the DOJ needed a ‘payday’ we all heard (and most can recite verbatim) ‘pharmaceutical manufacturing fueled opioid crisis’…
Many have died without opiates, but that made zero difference.
Now these folk neither love the Constitution unless it serves their immediate and pressing need OR read the Bible to any benefit…

If you ever decide to drop the politics let me know and I may resubscribe but I don’t care to hear your politics. It’s too bad you couldn’t just keep it about us CPPs.
Persons with a broader understanding, Kim, would say our pain crisis was all Steve was talking about. I am so sorry, …but I understand. I can miss big pieces of the pie when I am under great stress also.
