Op 11 januari 2022 sprak Conner Rousseau zich nog eens uit voor vaccinatieplicht, met bijbehorende beloning voor "de brave kindjes." Ondanks waarschuwingen van het EMA en het WHO die nu eindelijk ook toegeven dat blijven boosteren geen 'duurzame of levensvatbare strategie' is en het feit dat de huidige variant mild is, is er voor Rousseau maar één uitweg, blijven vacinneren, steeds meer. En vooral "Dé Vlaming" staat er achter, wil het, ja eist het zelfs! Enig populisme is hem zeker niet vreemd. Ik blijf het vooral moeilijk hebben om deze Rousseau ernstig te nemen na het zien van zijn passages in luchtige programma's waar hij geen blijk geeft van een meer dan middelmatige intelligentie, en zich zelfs laat onderschijten in een 'Kiekenkotkwis' Arm Vlaanderen die het moet doen met zulke politici. Eyskens, Martens of Vanden Boeynants zouden toch eens het hoofd gefronst hebben bij het zien van dergelijke fratsen!

A fascinating anti-drug film from a historical standpoint and a little different than the other fun romps in this playlist. Although Sid Cohen took part in several scare projects as part of his role as director of the NIMH's Division of Narcotic and Drug Abuse, by 1970 he'd realized that scare films didn't work; they were so blatantly ridiculous that their intended audiences made fun of them and often became *less* likely to listen to authorities on issues of drug use. It profoundly changed his approach to drug education, and this film is the result. Draggy and slow, the goal is to "tell the truth" about drug use. If you can make your way through it without the usual laugh value, though, it has some interesting insight into emerging understandings of drug rehabilitation in 1970, including methadone treatment, addiction, and incarceration. There's also a nice, lengthy description of long-term psychedelic therapy starting about minute 19.
