Gov. Inslee stoops to new low, says COVID unvaccinated are domestic terrorists

Governor Jay Inslee says unvaccinated Washingtonians are domestic terrorists. It's a ridiculous insult that shows just how simple-minded our governor is when facing anyone who doesn't bend to his will.
Are you an unvaccinated Christian, Muslim, or Jew, resistant to get the COVID vaccine? Inslee says you're carrying "a time bomb" in your backpack. Does your doctor warn against this vaccine because of your private medical history that Inslee doesn't understand? You're a terrorist. No matter the context, Inslee thinks you're as dangerous as a criminal and he has no regrets.
It's the latest divisive comment from the power-hungry governor who hates being disobeyed.

Inslee labels the unvaccinated as terrorists
Gov. Inslee's comment was made at a press conference last week. He made no caveats, nor did he approach the issue with a sense of nuance. Inslee doesn't do nuance. He doesn't understand the term; he can't even spell it.
"Thirty-four percent of Washingtonians are walking around with a time bomb in their backpack because they're not vaccinated," he claimed.
It's a ridiculous statement on many levels.
For starters, a time bomb suggests the unvaccinated are choosing to get COVID but waiting until a specific moment before exploding their virus-infected spittle on an unsuspecting public. That seems especially nefarious, but I guess Inslee believes the unvaccinated are choosing to contract and then spread COVID.
But more worrisome is that this indescribably asinine insult won't get people vaccinated.
What's the point of the insult?
Inslee's own administration acknowledges there are people who can't medically receive a vaccine. There are also Washingtonians with deeply held religious convictions.
So if you're immunocompromised to the point where your doctor says you shouldn't get the vaccine, Inslee believes you should be scorned?
If you're a devout Muslim — a religious group that is more hesitant on the vaccine than the general population — and you don't want to get the vaccine, you're a bomb-wielding terrorist? Didn't Congresswoman Lauren Boebert get in trouble for comments like that?
Inslee is a Democrat and he gets a pass. But does he actually think this language will make people less resistant?
Inslee's comment was unscripted
His office confirms to the Jason Rantz Show on KTTH that his comment was unscripted. When asked — twice — if he regrets the uninformed comment, his office didn't respond.
This kind of childish behavior is nothing new for our governor. He throws fits when he's challenged. He wants to make decisions for you. You don't dare disagree — he knows what's best for you.
But this terrorist comparison wasn't even the most concerning comment he made during the press conference.
Rantz: Here's why WA officials don't admit COVID death rate is lower than breakthrough case rate
Herr Inslee ist von Deutschen inspiriert
Apparently, Inslee is inspired by the German response to COVID. He said he heard "someone" make a comment that struck a chord with him.
"You're either going to have had COVID, you're going to have a vaccination, or you're going to be dead," he said.
I mean, yes, those are three options, though it pretends that vaccines prevent you from getting COVID. The last one is inevitable for all human life, though not a common side effect of COVID.
The vast majority of people who get COVID don't die, nor even go to a hospital. The death rate for COVID is under 1%. You actually have a higher chance of catching COVID while vaccinated than you do of dying from it. But terrified (or bad faith) politicians — like Inslee — pretend the 1% death rate is the survival rate.
But that comment Inslee said he heard somewhere actually came from Jens Spahn, the federal minister of Germany for Health. My KTTH colleague Bryan Suits pointed it out this week, having seen BBC coverage of the hyperbolic (and misleading) statement.
Inslee is no leader
Should we look to Germany for inspiration on COVID?
That country instituted a nationwide lockdown for the unvaccinated (aka, those people Inslee calls domestic terrorists). People who are not vaccinated against COVID in Germany are only allowed into essential businesses, like grocery stores.
And German leaders are readying mandatory vaccinations in the coming months.
It's curious where Inslee turns for inspiration. But it's not shocking.
Governor Inslee isn't very articulate or reasonable. He's neither especially intelligent nor inspirational. The list goes on and on.
On COVID, he's been a train wreck, leaning into disturbing rhetoric meant to shame, bully, and scare you into submission. That's not what leaders do. But Jay Inslee is no leader.

ANY Washingtonian who isn't following the governuers orders are Domestic Terrorists....
I guess they are looking to kill everyone with covid? Well according to the Govenuer of Washington State they are...
"Domestic terrorists" seems a bit melodramatic. They are more like "biological threats."
By your logic, if you are vaccinated, you are a biological threat as well.
Since breakthrough infections are very common.
Strawman. It's about the unvaccinated, especially those who refuse to be vaccinated. The vaccinated have a far less likely chance of contracting or transmitting Covid.
Show me the data that unvaccinated spread the virus anymore than the vaccinated.
Not a strawman, it is a topical fact.
Fully vaccinated people can get infected with Covid and infect others when they are contagious. Just like unvaccinated people.
So by your definition, both are biological threats.
Your comment that one might be worse than another is not rational. After all, for those who get infected, it won't matter if the carrier was vaccinated or not.
PROVE IT!
Lucifer, Goose is on our side... {chuckle}
'Side'? One should be on the side of truth regardless of ideology or party.
Anyway (just one of many easily found articles):
By the way, the reason vaccinated individuals infected with coronavirus have a lower viral load is because their enhanced immune system has antibodies actively fighting the infection (their immune system is killing the virus instances and reducing the size of the population).
What is the "TRUTH".
New Data on COVID-19 Transmission by Vaccinated Individuals | Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health (jhu.edu)
How Easily Can Vaccinated People Spread COVID-19? - The Atlantic
I have no problem with the vaccine or people who are vaccinated, I do have a problem with the vaccine being the "only" option. Not recognizing natural immunity is anti science, there are other treatments for Covid other than wait and see if you need a ventilator then you die.
Who is not recognizing natural immunity?
Right now the only ways to gain antibodies is 1) get infected (and recover) or 2) get fully vaccinated. Unless there is a medical reason not to, the smart and responsible move is to get fully vaccinated.
Now, from your link:
If you are fully vaccinated and someone with COVID-19 sneezes in your face, you will be infected with a high viral load. However, you have the antibodies (especially if you have had the boost) that will immediately begin to kill the population and reduce your own viral load.
Vaccines do not prevent one from being infected. They fight an infection to make it less harmful on you and to reduce your ability to infect others.
Biden, Fauci, CDC, MSN never mention Natural Immunity, its all Vaccine all the time.
So your response proves my point. Yes, it is/maybe for a shorter period of time but, I don't believe anyone knows who is and is not carrying the virus and for how long if they are asymptomatic.
The current vaccines I would compare to a flu shot.
I understand that. Do you not see why they would push vaccines rather than imply that it is sensible to just wait and get infected?
Which point did I ostensibly prove? Is your point now simply that asymptomatic infections are not noticeable? Because I thought your point was that vaccinated people can infect others. And that is true; I am not aware of anyone claiming otherwise. My response was to qualify that to bring it closer to reality and show the positive effects of being vaccinated.
Then you do not understand what is going on here. Even the biochemistry is an entirely different paradigm (mRNA). But more importantly, coronavirus is far worse than influenza in severity and spread.
Here you go -
While the "peak" load looks to be similar, vaccinated people are likely to have lower viral load and clear the virus quicker, so they are less contagious.
I wonder if people who die from getting infected by a vaccinated person, are less dead.
At this stage my friend it is coming to the realization that being vaxxed or un-vaxxed doesn't matter, both can catch it, both can transmit it, and both can die from it, (the vaxxed being much rarer for the ultimate end though) People are going to HAVE to think "Out of the Box" so to speak cause it is plain that vaxxing is not the only answer... Yes there are other treatments, yes they are being administered by doctors under the table and not being reported cause they don't go along with the establishment diatribe... And they generally don't want to get ridiculed by the "Woke"
The most painful thing is watching people come to that realization, like a dawning of a new day...
But then this is what happens when you push a big government lie long enough it falls apart in front of your face... And this is happening on a national stage with the President in the center of it... The whole diatribe on covid is coming apart at the seams...
And at this point, barring some so far unreported miracle, it appears that the whole Covid thing is going to a yearly shot that some people might need if they feel they need it...
The last part if pretty damn significant don't you think so?
Vaccinated people can be infected by the virus. But if vaccinated you have the antibodies to immediately fight the virus and reduce the population. Thus the negative affects on your body are greatly reduced and your ability to inadvertently infect others is greatly reduced. This is a critically important fact.
People who get the flu vaccine can still be infected with influenza. The fact that vaccines do not prevent infection (infection being defined as the virus entering your body) should not surprise anyone. That is not what vaccines prevent.
Vaccines reduce the harmful effects on your body once you are infected and also your ability to infect others. People should be encouraging others to get vaccinated rather than perpetuate lame excuses (and misinformation) to not do so.
See 2.1.8
My comment @2.1.8 supports EG's comment @2.1.14
Someone should ask der Fuhrer Inslee if his comment includes illegal immigrants the vast majority of which are unvaccinated? Since they are transported all over the US by our government to await some future trial date that over 70% of them will never attend.
Democrats wonder why they are unfit to lead at any level. If a Republican politician had said this; being call a Nazi would be the kindest thing the left would have to say.
Low is refusing to get a safe effective vaccine that saves lives and will help mankind move past Covid...
Such foolishness. They say you don't have to fool anyone, just tell them what they already want to hear/believe and they'll fool themselves. It's how Trump rose to be their Mango Mussolini. It's shameful that right wing conservative Republican legislatures would stoop so low as to tell these dumb shit trypanophobic's hiding behind the weak excuse of supposedly 'deeply held religious convictions' that's putting their friends and family and the rest of society at risk is a good idea simply because the calculating Republican legislators are desperate to appeal to the poorly educated anti-vaxxers for their votes. Most of those conservative Republican legislators got the vaccine months ago and have likely already gotten their booster shots, but they'll come out to champion the dumb shit conservative anti-vaxxers because they know if they lose the white conservative Christian dumb shit vote they'll likely lose in the next midterm to an even crazier right wing conservative lunatic in the mold of MTG.
Right, and according to one of the last elections democratic candidates everyone who doesn't get a vax is a Domestic Terrorist with intent to kill us all by committing Covid Suicide!
So, given your statement above, I guess you agree with the Governuer?
Is that how I'm supposed to understand your comment?
What is really foolish is those that insist on tarring all those that disagree with their leftist views with the same brush. It would be utterly laughable if it was not so pathetic.
and that brush is dripping with hatred. Some just have a knack for filling posts with utter hatefulness. Good grief their lives must suck.
That’s how I’d read that comment. I’m one who was almost certainly negatively impacted by the “safe” vaccine. I certainly won’t be going back for a booster so in some states soon which are going to require the booster too to be considered vaccinated, I’ll be on their Governors bad list.
You nailed it. Perfectly stated and I add my voice to your words. Bravo! 👍👏🥳
Inslee won't be happy until he can change the name of the state to "California Too" and turn Seattle into San Fransisco.
Now that I think about it, maybe there's a conspiracy to annex both Oregon and Washington into California?
Don't worry, that Northern California secession will put a halt to that!
Doesn't say much for those who had COVID, beat it (you know it has a 90+% survivability rate) and don't need the vaccine.
800k+ dead (in the US). Great odds though!
Virtually all preventable. I don’t mind thinning the herd by removing the morons, I just wish it didn’t have to impede the stamping out of a nasty disease.
Not sure what your virtually figure is but, we have years of 60-80 thousand from the seasonal flu when it too shouldn't be. Wish this damn thing would have stayed where it began..........but that is a virtually impossible task.
Travel restrictions would have helped. But those were deemed Racist and Xenophobic before the 2020 election. After the 2020 election there were no problems.
This could be seen as the equivalent of removing warning labels off items to cull the herd.
Yep thinning the herd, cause the left side of the face is a different color, or they lead with the right foot rather than the left, or they ask simple easy to understand questions that are hard for them to answer... like how is it equitable, to want to kill off those that disagree with you...
Silly things like that...
Please explain "how" it was preventable.
Are the 'unvaccinated' pro covid? And if they are, why? When they persist in allowing this virus to mutate and spread---what would be the correct term for them?
And why is it that many-----most----of the 'unvaccinated' as they overwhelm the Hospitals with tubes in their lungs and with their dying breaths lament their ignorance? After all, is The MAGA thing really worth all of that?
Five simple questions.
Here is an alternate version of your post.
Is joe biden pro covid? And if so, why? He persists in allowing seemingly endless lines of unvaccinated illegals into the country, during a pandemic, which allows the virus to mutate and spread—-what would be the correct term for him?
i have seen a lot of posts on several articles spewing anger and hatred toward unvaccinated Americans yet not a word about unvaccinated illegals and the man allowing them into our country. The double standard marches on.
[✘]
America and Americans last, huh?
[✘]
"Deflect". Right??
I’d say you are correct, Jim. Let’s not discuss a valid point and instead deflect to some twisted, perverted version of America first to get the heat off a certain ideology. Pure deflection as the double standard marches on.
[✘]
Yes it is, although I wouldn't choose to call it "MAGA" Maybe I can explain why..
The rights you would like for people to give up to submit to vaccination due to your fears are rights you will NEVER get back once given up...
You know what? by standing up for individual rights for themselves they are standing up for yours as well... For example; Every woman has the right to choose correct? Correct they do, it is their body right? yep....
On the other hand, every non-vaxed individual shouldn't have that right, it isn't their body it is societies body...Society gets to choose for them... they do not have that right..
So in your world choice is determined by what you believe is a persons individual rights..
In the real world EVERYONE has that right...
So I would say that YES it is worth it... EVERY individual has the right to choose for themselves and in a truly fair world, have that choice respected by everyone else...
In your world, only certain people have a right to choose for themselves and have it respected... (and that depends greatly on what political side they choose to belong to)
Do you get it now?

What does Hang Mike Pence have to do with Covid. President Trump had the vaccine fast tracked so your MAGA comment makes no sense. Why don't people on the left question why the vaccine (which really isn't a vaccine) is the only answer. You claim to be pro-science but ignore science on a regular basis.
