Where It (Never) Happened

In other news, in research published in the journal Nature Medicine, Chinese scientists say antibody counts in people who recovered from the coronavirus dramatically drop off -- with a median of 70 percent reduction -- within 2 to 3 months.

Meanwhile, the Navy has reversed course and decided not to reinstate Captain Crozier to the USS Theodore Roosevelt after earlier recommending his reinstatement. Crozier is not expected to command a ship ever again because he saved his crew from Trump.

Finally, the New York Post (I know) reports that those police officers who claimed they were intentionally poisoned by Shake Shack employees were literally never even sick at all.

Soon after sipping the shakes, however, the cops realized they didn’t taste or smell right, so they threw the drinks in the trash and alerted a manager, who apologized and issued them vouchers for free food or drink, which they accepted, according to sources.

But when the cops told their sergeant about the incident, the supervisor called in the Emergency Service Unit to set up a crime scene at the fast-food joint for an evidence search around 9:20 p.m. — nearly two hours after they first got the sour shakes.

The three were rushed to Bellevue Hospital, where they were examined and released without ever showing symptoms, sources said.

Meanwhile, a lieutenant from the Bronx blasted out an email to the unions that six cops “started throwing up after drinking beverages they got from shake shack on 200 Broadway.”

It was unclear why the sergeant and lieutenant escalated the situation. [...]

But by 10:45 p.m., the Detectives Endowment Association was declaring that Finest had become “ill” after being “intentionally poisoned by one or more workers at the Shake Shack” — as Police Benevolent Association president Pat Lynch made a show of visiting Bellevue while his union declared at 10:47 p.m. that police officers came “under attack” from a “toxic substance, believed to be bleach.”

This made me quite angry when I read it this afternoon. Police unions are the reason why I cannot consider myself entirely, 100 percent pro union. Show me a police union and I'll show you an organization that behaves like the spokesperson for an organized crime family at war with the citizens under their "protection."

I hope everyone had a good weekend and happy father's day.
