Yes, connect the dots. If only the video by Jack Murphy were satire. The extent of fraud, corruption, and profiteering is staggering. How Orwellian does it get?

Just came across an article in CommonWealth, an online Massachusetts-based magazine claiming to provide journalism at its best; "in depth, balanced, and independent." What follows exceeds socialism so as how to take to task those profiteering by the life jackets they sell.

This is an article co-written by five Massachusetts health "officers" from the following Massachusetts agencies seeking additional funding from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) :

-Massachusetts Association of Public Health Nurses

-Massachusetts Public Health Association

-Massachusetts Health Officers Association

-Massachusetts Association of Health Boards

-Massachusetts Environmental Health Association

-Western Massachusetts Public Health Association

"Enter COVID-19. The arrival of the virus exposed every weakness and inequity in the system. And while strong local health departments would not have stopped the pandemic from occurring, it would have allowed for effective community-level contact tracing, timely implementation of isolation and quarantine, consistent enforcement of public health regulations, and more effective and equitable vaccine distribution. Have no doubt, these measures would have meant fewer deaths, fewer hospitalizations, and lower costs to the health care system.

Now, we have a chance to transform our state’s local public health system and implement the critical safeguards it should provide. By dedicating just 5 percent of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) funds coming to Massachusetts from the federal government – roughly $251 million over 5 years – we can ensure that the Commonwealth transitions to a local public health system that is efficient, effective, and equitable."

How Orwellian does it get?

"Even communities with well-run health departments and qualified staff struggle to meet the wide range of legal obligations that fall to them. These range from inspecting children’s summer camps, food establishments, public and semi-public pools, septic systems, and beauty establishments, to protecting residents from substandard housing and lead poisoning, managing insect-borne diseases, animal control, hazardous waste disposal, and responding to cases of communicable disease. The list goes on."

This means, that these five "officers" need state funding to assume the prerogative to control every aspect of the life of a Massachusetts taxpayer, to inspect, invade, dictate exponentially.

Thanks, but I have to give credit for the video to Txdg00 over at Market-Ticker. I'm very curious if there's going to be a follow on video of the same patient labs done a little later to see if their immunity markers recover.
