On Saturday morning, Merseyside time, a taxi drove to the Liverpool Women's Hospital, started smoking, and caught fire.
The passenger in the cab, apparently a carrier of a rather ineffective explosive device, was killed. The taxi driver jumped off in time to escape, suffered relatively minor injuries, was hailed as a hero, and reportedly locked the potential assassin in the car.
No one else was injured. Unless you count the emotional damage suffered by all new moms and dads in Europe's largest maternity hospital. Their memories of the day the child was born will forever be scarred by a major disaster that may happen.
The British police and counter-terrorism team took immediate action. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that the UK’s terrorist watch index has been raised from “serious” to “serious” and promised that “the British people will never be intimidated by terrorism”.
On Saturday, Utah time, a group of people stood near the giant Intermountain Medical Center on State Street in Murray, protesting the current and planned requirements for people in many workplaces, especially medical institutions, to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
When you want to protest against "medical tyranny" but forgot to proofread. This is an anti-vaccine protest outside IHC on Saturday #utpol pic.twitter.com/yTxp8JKHyt
Nothing exploded, and no one was obviously injured. Unless you count the nurses, doctors, and other medical staff who have been traumatized by seeing this anti-life, anti-scientific protest, these protests remind them of how deadly this epidemic has been, is, and will remain in the future. Some people don't care how much.
The incident is a legal and constitutionally protected expression. But the death toll from that protest will almost certainly exceed the single death toll that occurred in Liverpool earlier in the day.
And, unlike the outspoken responses of British officials, most public officials in Utah have stated that they are intimidated by this (if not terrorist) fatal ignorance.
Utah Governor Spencer Cox signed a bill on Tuesday that would exempt Utah if Utah workers claim the right to renounce this common-sense public health measure because of any "personal beliefs held in good faith." Any federal vaccine regulations for workers. Obviously referring to the collective delusion propagated by Fox News, right-wing radio and social media, these campaigns support people’s right to bring the deadly virus into the workplace.
At the same time, Cox and legislative leaders are praising Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes La La Lala, because he sued the federal government to cancel the task of vaccinating all existing and planned health care workers. And all employees in workplaces with more than 100 employees must be vaccinated or are being vaccinated weekly for coronavirus testing.
Reyes claimed that in a situation where hospitals, clinics and nursing homes are already facing labor shortages, forcing medical staff to vaccinate will force some of them to leave their jobs. This statement ignores the real reason for this shortage: because people refuse to be vaccinated and then show up in the emergency room, asking them to save their lives with the same medical science they recently scorned, leading to employee burnout.

"... COVID patients are also becoming more and more difficult to deal with. Now most people are not vaccinated. Although some people have no choice in this matter, those who are vaccinated are usually warlike and To be blunt. Even after they were hospitalized, some people resisted basic medical procedures such as push-ups or oxygenation and considered themselves fighters, but when their lungs were struggling with oxygen, they became confused, anxious, and impulsive. Others beat up nurses, threw trash around their rooms, and yelled for hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin, neither of which proved to be any good for COVID-19. Once, Americans applauded medical heroes; now, "We are at war with the virus, and its host is at war with us," [Idaho Intensive Care Unit nurse Cassandra] Werry told me...."
At the same time, Rep. Chris Stewart opposed the national security department’s vaccine regulations, thinking that when some of them quit their jobs instead of receiving injections, we cannot lose these key personnel.
Which country is more threatening to security? Retaining unvaccinated employees under the growing threat of foreign opponents, or dismissing large numbers of intelligence officials? The answer is clear. Read my @FoxNews and @DevinNunes column articles⬇https://t.co/4SHTfG1xE2
A better way to understand is to realize that people who refuse to get the COVID-19 vaccine should not engage in any work with the word "smart".
Some say they support vaccines but oppose enforcement. But it's like driving safely, but it violates the law that requires you to stop at a red light. Unless everyone does this, efficiency will be greatly reduced.
Years ago, during a summer reporting internship in a Kansas newspaper, a straightforward editor warned me that if I couldn’t keep up with important but routine tasks such as reading a record thermometer or clearing rain from a parking lot, I would be fired. risks of. Measure every day.
Another editor told me not to worry.
"The only way to be fired here is if you are on the publisher's desk [stool]," he said.
If these anti-vaccine politicians in Utah have their own way, even that won’t let you get fired.
