"...we’ve not really come to a real national dialogue about what happened after May 1, 2021. That was the day the White House announced that there are so many Covid vaccines that any American who wants to get vaccinated can get vaccinated. Yet we lost another 200,000-300,000 Americans after that date. Those who were defiant to vaccines were overwhelmingly in red states, and the redder the county as measured by Trump voters in the 2020 election, the higher the vaccine refusal and the greater the loss of life."
"It wasn’t by accident. It was a deliberate effort by members of the House Freedom Caucus, in the House, some U.S. senators, amplified nightly on Fox News."
"I don’t even call it misinformation or disinformation anymore. I call it anti-science aggression, to convince millions of Americans not to take a Covid vaccine. And at least 200,000 Americans between May 1 and the end of 2021 died needlessly from Covid because of it. And everyone’s afraid to talk about it because it’s very unpleasant to have to point out that these deaths occurred along such a strict partisan divide. Even the White House won’t talk about it in that way."
Let me get this straight. The hardest of the hardcore GQPers are committing suicide via covid, and I'm supposed to think that's a bad thing?
Have as it bros and she-bros. I suggest going to the nearest crowded bar, unmasked, and celebrating for as long as possible.
I keep waiting for the great awakening among antivaxxers that they’ve been acting dangerously stupid, and have been killing themselves, family, friends, and acquaintances, and doing it because their misleaders were able to count on votes from the survivors as they all owned the libs.
Their politicians have to live in fear of the realization and the anger it would release as the rank and file figures out they were expendable casualties their leaders used to motivate them to vote. They might take their little tiki torches and surround MTG’s, Desantis’, Abbot’s, Jordan’s, Tucker’s etc houses and seek vengeance for all their dead.
I’m still waiting but not hopeful. It’s inevitable but when? When will the idiots wake up to being used like they have?
