     It has been noted that having too much healthcare available is a problem that few would have qualms with, and is certainly better than a “right” to “free healthcare” that you will be denied for an entire decade.

“A few days ago Robin Swann, the Health Minister for Northern Ireland (where I sit as I write this) announced that it will likely take ten years to sort through the backlog in elective care here. No, that’s not a typo. Ten years.

“There are men, women, and children currently scheduled for screenings and elective treatments here in Northern Ireland who are expected to receive neither until 2031 a.d. Several oncologists have given interviews to various British media outlets over the past week basically conceding the likelihood that many of my neighbors here in Ulster will die of cancer and other fatal diseases in the coming years without ever having been diagnosed. More and more are turning to crowdfunding in an attempt to access private treatment in a timely manner.”

Quick Takes – The Woke Purge: American Psychological Association; Space Force; American Airlines

Posted on May 27, 2021 by The Political Hat

     Another “quick takes” on items where there is too little to say to make a complete article, but is still important enough to comment on.

     The focus this time: Purge! Purge the Unbelievers!!1!

     First, a little mood music:

     Ironically, the American Psychological Association has embraced the crazy and is even purging members from discussion forums for daring to say there are two sexes.

“A scholar has been removed from an American Psychological Association email discussion group after he posed questions on the listserv that upset others, most recently about the nature of biological sex.

“John Staddon, an emeritus professor of psychology and neuroscience at Duke University, was taken off the Society for Behavioral Neuroscience and Comparative Psychology Division 6 listserv overseen by the APA.

“‘This incident just illustrates the current inability of some scientific communities to tolerate dissent about issues related to sex and race,’ […] ‘Psychology and sociology seem to be especially flawed in this respect.’

“The topic that appears to have gotten him removed was the suggestion that there are only two sexes.”
