This past week, the enormously talented fifty-year veteran of Broadway musicals Patti Lupone went on a foul-mouthed rant at a member of the audience of the musical Company, in which she is currently appearing. Of course, she did. There is no allowing for an opposing thought or behavior in the theater world. If there are conservatives anywhere on Broadway, on stage, or behind the curtains, they will keep their opinions to themselves for fear of losing their jobs. Such is the state of things in the film and television world in Hollywood as well. Virtue-signaling intolerance is the order of the last several decades, no matter how much damage done to American culture and psyche. Liberalism, in the true sense of the word, has not existed in the film and theater world for ages.
Lupone noticed that a member of the audience had his mask below his nose, and that was too much for the unmasked diva to bear. This is now, this past week, May 2022! COVID is over, the masks have been proven worthless in preventing transmission, and the vaccines have most definitely failed. Walgreens recently reported that among those COVID-tested at their pharmacies, the most vaxxed more often tested positive, while the unvaccinated more often tested negative. Rates of COVID Positivity 4/27–5/3:
Not Vaccinated – 16.3%
1 Dose – 21.5%
2 Dose – 26.7%
3 Dose 30.1%
The hesitancy of the unvaxxed has proven wise.
Punt.
