Andy Borowitz: Millions of Americans Hesitant About Having Brakes Installed In Cars

The New Yorker comedy superstar Andy Borowitz does it again.  If there is someone better at lampooning American stupidity, I sure would like to meet him.

At the same time that there are people in Kenya walking 30 miles to get vaccinations, there are tens of millions of Americans  who side with the QAnon folks and believe one or more of the following:

• The pandemic was planned by the American government as an experiment to determine how aggressive it could control the population. (No need to consider the governments of the other 200+ sovereign nations on Earth.)

• The pandemic really doesn’t exist; it’s no more dangerous than the flu; the numbers are fabricated.

• The side effects of the vaccinations are worse than the disease itself.

If all these people lived on an isolated island and could only kill each other, I don’t think anyone would have an issue with that.  The problem, of course, is that, as is so often the case, it’s the kind and intelligent people and their families who suffer just as much as the idiots.
