So the truck drivers in Canada are being whiny about having to get vaccinated. See this story. I know that antivaxx nurses are bad, for reasons that don’t need to be repeated. Antivaxx truckers though...not only are they spreading Covid lies and misinformation, they're potentially spreading Covid itself far and wide as they crisscross the nation's highways. Think of all the rest stops, gas stations, and restaurants they stop at as they make their deliveries. Well, since I started this blog last July, I keep seeing the same careers popping up over and over again for dead or dying anti-vaxxers. Everyone knows about the anti-vaxx conservative radio talk show hosts who've died, and those who label themselves Pastors. There have also been a lot of real estate agents, hair dressers, and MLM salespeople, and we've certainly seen a lot of nurses, which is surprising. (I post just about every nurse I come across, not only because they should know better as healthcare workers, but also because a large segment of them have been whining and protesting about mandates.) Another career track I keep seeing a lot of: truck drivers. Apart from a couple, I've been skipping over those guys simply because they are redundant and not that interesting, as far as anti-vaxxers go, but this protest just made them a little more interesting. So here are some anti-vaxx and unvaxxed truckers I've come across. If you find more of them, post them in the comment section and I'll add them here (AND give you a "Truckin'" badge - likely the most valuable badge on the site!). I'll also keep searching and posting today.
