Dr. Martin Hash Podcast

The developed world was ready for The Virus: we’ve had a decade of popular movies & TV shows fantasizing how special people would live because they protected themselves and the profligate would all receive what they deserved. This death cult fantasy fosters extreme authoritarianism, another favorite of the special people, who also seem universally sanctimonious with a complete lack of self-awareness. This constellation of traits can be exploited by those of us with a sense of humor: for example, I told a (former) friend of mine that they can’t visit because I don’t let anyone who’s been vaccinated into our house because the vaccinated can still be carriers; I figured it was a humorous but totally reasonable symmetrical response. With no recognition of the irony, this person made claims about stopping the spread of The Virus by vaccinating people. It gets better: I reminded him that I was a doctor, and if he would submit to an anal swab test at the door, he could come in. Who said The Virus was all bad?
