And yet, most people still wouldn’t recognize him without looking him up. Guess all he’s got now is the grift.

Goes off the rails in the very beginning. This is all the very first paragraph:

It is undisputed that every FDA fact sheet for EUA Covid-19 vaccines states the same disclaimer, “It is your choice to receive or not receive the [Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, Janssen] COVID-19 Vaccine. Should you decide not to receive it, it will not change your standard medical care.” This precise language is required by Federal statute because available Covid-19 vaccines are not FDA approved but rather are Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) only.

From the datestamp on the filing it looks like this was filed 5 days after the Phizer vaccine was FDA approved. Strike one…

The same precise statutory language also applies for all Covid-19 tests and face coverings – they too are EUA and so pursuant to Federal statute if an individual declines these EUA products, it cannot change the individual’s standard medical care.

Since when are all face masks EUA? Strike two…

And yet, as the Petitioner Immune Students in this case respectfully decline these EUA products, Respondent College Parties openly threaten to disenroll them and remove their standard healthcare offered through Student Health Services.

:rofl: No… no, that’s just… not how anything works! The standard of care the statute is talking about you receiving has nothing to do with whether you have health insurance provided!

And it gets worse from there…

[edit] Just watched Mike Dunford’s stream about the filing. Two issues, from memory so somewhat paraphrased:

  1. One factor they have to prove to get the temporary restraining order they are asking for “is a likelihood of success on the merits. The word ‘merit’ appears zero times in this document”
  2. “I was expecting to discuss their legal claims a little bit. I was unable to discuss their legal claims even a little bit because they never said what they were.”

Reuters legal affairs correspondent Jan Wolfe described it as “like conspiracy theory Mad Libs.”

“Stop going to Walmart, stop going to Target,” Wood instructed. “Stop buying the food that they have been producing for years with fetal tissue parts to kill you!”

“John D. Rockefeller was a devil worshipper, part of the Illuminati,” he alleged.

“Do the research, connect the dots, Illuminati is real,” Wood claimed.

And this is someone who so many Trump supporters pinned their hopes on…

I’m sure to someone who thought Trump was a great president, that all sounds quite reasonable.

They obviously don’t remember residing in one for nine months or so. Assholes.

I think we need a thread called “Yes, indeed, this IS really the absolute, consummate, unconditionally dumbest, stupidest, assholiest thing I’ve ever, ever, ever read,” where everyone only gets one post (except for replies).

Much like making something idiot-proof, the trouble with identifying the absolute dumbest thing is that you tend to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

A most profound statement.

These are replies by people who didn’t even need to go to Jupiter to get more stupider. (Schoolyard taunts just didn’t predict how bad things’d be now).

Hah! :slight_smile: Though, honestly, any credit for the statement really should go to Douglas Adams, whose statement on idiot-proofing I only slightly mangled.

It needs a book of own, though I guess there are a plenty of them out there.
