Time for us to all be Americans

To the Editor:

"Who’s still following ‘The Flim-Flam Man’?”

Well, Mr. McCusker is according to his letter printed Jan. 6 2022. Sigh.... He would rather scream and yell about his "lost rights” and other assorted indignities that he has suffered since the pandemic began two years ago, surprising all but a few brilliant scientists and medical professionals.

He is not happy with the response of the state or federal governments, the doctors or the media. Can you imagine the audacity of our fantastic federal and state health departments asking all of us to wear a mask in public so that we don't breathe in or out any germs?

I thank them for this information that I needed to stay safe and healthy. Wearing a mask in public is so easy and no big deal. I think we can laugh off this type of "tyranny." And we can laugh at the flim-flam man who got Covid and did not wear masks – especially while he held super spreader events, sneering at those who did. This is who you follow?

I'll follow the real stable geniuses – the doctors and the scientists. And, I get to wear my color-coordinated, handmade masks that are washable, reusable and environmentally friendly.

Amazingly, he is also vehemently against the vaccines designed to fight this virus. Of course, real men don't need vaccines or get sick, do they? Yet, he would willingly take medicine to treat horses or other medicines that would be useful treating diseases that he does not have because the flim-flam man spoke against the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.

Mr. Flim-Flam Man is not a doctor or a scientist. What he is, is someone ignorant of history, science and the English language. Plus he is a liar, a thief, a traitor, a street corner bully, an adulterer, an immoral thug, a scam artist and so much more. Yet, he took the vaccine, secretly and finally, but his followers won't. Science has proven time and again, without the deathbed decrees from the unvaxxed, that those who are unvaxxed will be sicker and will be the ones in the hospitals, on ventilators and who will die alone of Covid, struggling to breathe, as opposed to those of us who got our free shots and boosters. As a senior citizen, I appreciate my free vaccine and my booster shot. Bless the staff at CVS and the scientists who have toiled and struggled for years to solve this problem before it was needed. 

Your flim-flam man is weak, insecure and unloved. He is a loser and will be remembered as such. I am curious about your sufferings in your lifetime that caused you to follow a would be Nazi dictator who wants to take away my right to vote by mail and my rights to a safe and healthy community for students and teachers and all our businesses. If we are all vaccinated, masked and healthy, we can gather, shop, go to school and stay alive.

The economy would thrive. This is just common sense logic.  Then, the virus would not find any new victims to make ill. My great-grandfather was a farmer in 1918, during the last worldwide influenza pandemic, and he died at age 48 on a backwoods farm in rural Canada. I have a hunch he would have liked a vaccine and lived just a wee bit longer. I would have liked to have met him. What will your great-grandchildren think when they find out you died because you would not get vaccinated?

It is time we all become Americans. Be Real Patriots and help end this pandemic by using our brains, our scientific and medical skills and our humanity.  Be compassionate and care for others. It is time for random acts of kindness. "When the power of love overpowers the love of power, we will have peace.” Peace is what my ancestors wanted when they fled persecution and settled in "the colonies" beginning in the 1600s. They fled real tyranny. They became real patriots who fought for their freedom for the last 1500 years. They were very brave men and women, and I am their modern voice. This letter is for them.  They would be vaxxed and masked and not be caught complaining like so many today. They would stand up for truth: there was a violent attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, that was an attempted coup by the flim-flam man. Covid is real and it kills. Vaccines are safe. Climate change is real. Democracy is the greatest form of government on this earth, and we the people will see that it endures and that all lives matter and all votes matter and get counted. Farewell flim-flam man.  

Respectfully submitted,

Nancy Urquhart

    My God, how ignorant is this woman? She should get out more. The "safe and effective" has killed over 150,,000 Americans according to the latest Columbia University study published in December 2021. It has injured ove 1,000,000. Nancy, turn off the TV and do some homework.
