Charlestown state Rep becomes state’s leading Mask-hole
By Will Collette
If Flip did run for Guv, he's be held accountable for his record |
On Tuesday, WPRI
reported that six of the state’s hospitals have full ICU wards including
South County Hospital and all inpatient beds statewide are at 86% capacity. Today, the
leaders of most of the state’s hospitals are
asking for the state to reinstate its indoor mask mandate, even though
accidental Gov. Dan McKee is afraid this might somehow hurt his precious small
businesses.
Hey, Dan, WAKE UP! When people are again worried to go out
because the of surge in infections, including breakthrough infections, that’s
not a good thing for your small businesses.
While all this is going on, Flip Filippi thinks he’s Mel
Gibson and sees efforts to stop the spread of COVID as tyranny and COVID idiocy
as a freedom fight as this Flip tweet shows:
What we have learned since the pandemic became a part of our world is that vaccines do work. They save lives not just by preventing COVID, but by helping to reduce your health risk if you are among the small percentage who still catch COVID (probably from some unvaxxed COVIDiot).
We have three vaccines that are FDA-approved as safe and effective
and you can get the shots for free in numerous locations. We have learned that masks work. So does
avoiding packed-in crowds. We have also found that mandates work, no matter
how much Trumplicans and Q-Anoners squawk.
We have learned that the scientists and health professionals
actually do know what they are talking about and are dedicated to trying to
save our lives. But asshole politicians like Flip think it’s OK to take cheap
shots on Twitter against such health care heroes as Brown University’s
emergency medicine expert Dr. Megan Ranney:
Flip also has a flippant answer to the rising COVID death rate: lose weight. Yeah, Flip, that’s an idea that’s going to go over big with your base. Flip’s tweet:
Is the guy on the stretcher wearing a MAGA hat? |
And we are paying the price. Our community transmission rate –
the measure of how widely COVID is spreading – is up to 559.5 per 100,000. It
was only 12 per 100,000 on July 4th. Right now, 226 people are in the hospital with COVID, the highest number since last February.
But meanwhile, irresponsible fools like Blake “Flip” Filippi
tweet their outrage at countries like Germany where they have decided to
quarantine all those who refuse to be vaccinated:
Yeah, Flip, in the good old US of A, you'd just call in the Oath Keepers and they'd dose the cops with bear spray while beating them half to death, like then did on January 6. |
Let’s all remember that while Flip has decided that running for Governor is too much of a stretch for someone who has no legislative achievements, a history of lying, ties to insurrectionists and lawsuits against him by his own family, he still plans to run for re-election in House District 36. He assumes he has a lock on this district, what with the unwavering support of the Charlestown Citizens Alliance – for whom he has done almost nothing – and his fortune. I hope we can change that in 2022.
