Anti-Vaxxers have gone down the rabbit hole. Want to know the difference between someone down a rabbit hole and someone with their head up their ass? Nothing at all.

Anti-Vaxxers (like Bill Maher) blithely parrot absurd misstatements to cater to the wingnuts. It's a waste of time trying to educate people who have CHOSEN to delude themselves.

I have a long-time friend who is trained in medical technology, but Trump and the pandemic compelled him to exclude MSM and embrace most of the BS Fox put out. My friend has repeatedly betrayed his scientific discipline and I've found his behavior to be stunning in it's hypocrisy. At one point, he predicted a mass outbreak of autoimmune disease from the vaccines. I checked it out and found zero basis. I valued my friend's intelligence and expertise, but he has totally fallen down on this subject. His obsession with censorship of Covid disinformation demonstrates the Cult aspect. The timing reflected how Fox stokes support for the House hearings with lies. I can't believe how he gives credence to these lies. Even he doesn't believe all of them. I get that he's been brainwashed by Fox and Conservative media. It is too sad. I wish it weren't so, but that's the world we live in. (That is why ridiculous religions persist. It is exactly the same thing.

We have got to find a way to penalize those who obstruct public health (by gun, covid or abortion BS) with the financial consequences of those policies.

Funny thing I opted to get a measles vaccine in 2019 and I have 2/3 injectable polio vaccines done so far despite childhood series on both.

Glad to see you have apparently weathered your recent COVID bout ok.

I really don't care. If you choose not to get vaccinated, that's fine. If you die, that's fine too. I say that with the knowledge that my son and his family are not vaccinated too. The number of people dying is on a percentage basis negligible. With the most common factor for dying being pre existing conditions, if you don't get a vaccine with that hanging over your head, again, I feel little empathy. I think the same should apply to those who don't choose to wear seatbelts, motorcyclists who choose not to wear helmets, and gun owners who shoot themselves while cleaning their guns. We all die, when you have the choice to possibly extend your life by doing some minimum action and don't, too bad, so sad. Saying, like so many during the peak of COVID, that they wish they had gotten vaccinated after they spent a month or so on a ventilator, was annoying!
