The Cancel Culture Strikes Back

The Schloss-Blog is looking at things that have been canceled and for once, it's almost a promising list. If you're an anti-vaxxer, if you're unvaccinated for COVID, besides being a COVIDiot, there are events and places you can't attend or get into, respectively, and that's a good thing.

In New York, Florida, California, Illinois, some in defiance of a governor's executive order, school districts and restaurants are requiring vaccinations to get in. 

In other words, if you're an unvaccinated COVIDiot, you couldn't get into the Little League World Series this weekend, even if your kid was playing in it. At the least, like the coaches and players, you had to submit to COVID testing every other day. 

In addition, the Little League World Series did not include international teams this year, because of COVID limitations, and participating teams were only issued 250 tickets each for family and friends, again, all of whom had to present proof of vaccination to get in. Also, no souvenir vendors were allowed on site and very few concession stands.

For contrast, the Little League World Series usually has some 300,000 attendees every year.

So, yes, COVIDiots, the backlash against you continues.

One of the COVIDiot kingpins, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who has issued executive orders on top of executive orders to prohibit school districts and local governments from enforcing mask and vaccine mandates, has contracted COVID.

It is believed that he was heading for Cancun at the time of the diagnosis, but his staff was refusing to confirm this. He was attending a mask-less event, however.

I know what a lot of people are saying about him now that he has COVID, but I'm not going to say it out loud.

Oh, the hell I'm not - is his diagnosis fatal?

I keep hearing this and reading this - aren't parents supposed to do anything to protect their kids? Anything?

So, why are so many anti-vaccine parents refusing to get their kids be vaccinated against COVID, or at least go along with mask mandates in their kids' school districts?

These parents, and their kids, have already been vaccinated to be able to attend school for protection from diseases like polio, the flu, measles, mumps and rubella, to name a few.

So why are they resistant to protection from COVID, which has killed 626,000 Americans and infected some 37.5 million, according to NY Times sources.

By the way, among kids, the COVID infection rate has increased 99 percent month to month to an all-time high of 121,000 kids being infected last week alone.

Good job, parents. COVIDiot assholes.

Speaking of cancelled, rock star Jason Isbell, who often appears on my Radio Free Phoenix playlist, canceled a show in Houston when the venue wouldn't go along with his request that they enforce all attendees have either proof of vaccination or proof of a recent negative test.

Garth Brooks has reportedly canceled a number of shows for similar reasons. And add Korean all-boy band pop stars BTS to the list.

Screw you, COVIDiots. If you aren't vaccinated, you aren't getting in.

The New Orleans Saints and Las Vegas Raiders have issued the same mandates.

It is wonderful to see the unvaccinated be discriminated against in this way, to lose opportunities. Unfortunately, the rest of us lost a chance at some good concerts.

Wishing Godspeed and his protection to those in Kabul trying to get out. God knows they need it.

Good night, Mrs. Calabash. Here's to you, Mrs. Robinson.

More Sunday night on my Radio Free Phoenix rock 'n' roll show, and speaking of RFP, congrats to my buddy John Kirk DeRitis on his full-time gig, midnight to 5 a.m., daily.
