Rosa Parks II

RE: Rookie MP gets attention for all the wrong reasons.  Spectator editorial 27 Oct 21.  Spectator editorial of 27 Oct 21.

The Spectator must have been feeling pretty confident in its progressive bona fides when it criticized Dr. Leslyn Lewis, MP, for allegedly comparing herself to Rosa Parks.  Being Conservative, Dr. Lewis, a truly impressive individual, isn’t *really* Black or *really* a woman (after all, the only real women these days are trans anyway.) And, fighting for the rights of the unvaccinated, Lewis isn’t *really* fighting a civil rights issue.  Only progressives get to decide that, and the progressive decision is that the unvaccinated minority are an obstacle to pandemic recovery.  In Margaret Sanger’s day, Blacks were considered an obstacle to racial improvement, so there is a consistency in the progressive line.

Lewis’s tweet about children being used as a shields for adults is absolutely bang-on, and the of course the Arts Major progressives at the Spectator find it “not true.”  The vaccine confers no health benefit to children aged 5-11, so the only reason to vaccinate them is for the benefit of others, i.e. adults. Q.E.D.

And we get that sleazy new progressive argument that it is unethical to say or do anything the progressive line doesn’t hold, which is just a variation of calling someone a racist or sexist for opposing the progressive.  But racism and sexism don’t work in the instance of Dr. Lewis, so instead the unethical argument runs in this case as “a responsibility to advocate for public safety instead of propagate conspiracy theories and promote unnecessary fear?”

Clever, but no.  the Spec editors should look in the mirror if they want to see promoters of unnecessary fear and conspiracy theories.  I guess the Spectator doesn’t remember the notorious medical experiments conducted on Blacks in America, such as the Tuskegee Study.  This is why Blacks in particular are reluctant to take the white man’s vaccines.

At least the editorial conceded that the vaccines aren’t all they’re cracked up to be.
