In a Facebook post, Kadar bemoaned the low “vaccination” rate of Ukraine and suggested that it was a ploy by Putin to fling hundreds of infected Ukrainians across Europe:
Endemic Politics - low vaccination rate herds. One point not much discussed is the low vaccination rates that the Ukrainian civilian population was contending with. Just by comparative math, the country had not achieved "herd immunity." Concentrated paranoia aside, the effect of flooding millions of infecting refugee populations into bordering countries could be based on a geopolitical tactical agenda. Beyond the sheer numbers, it would be a deliberate act to cast chaos on the regional order and weaponize the viral disaster at hand in Central Europe.

“They have to live life.”
One is currently really sick and has developed Hep A, pneumonia, jaundice and all sorts of immune deficiencies. The other twin is not showing any symptoms (yet). The clueless mother blames it on the hectic schedule. My wife and I are kicking each other under the table trying desperately not to blurt out “she’s dying of VAIDS, moron”
Then she proceeded to lecture me on the horrors of Putin...I’d had enough and told her the earth was flat and stationary as it is described in the book of Genesis. She moved so fast she left skid marks.
She’ll never speak to me again.
Thank you Lord.
