Is that true? I thought party affiliation was a huge indicator of vaccination status, but I only think that because of a tweet I saw.

I meant anti-vaxx stuff in general. For the covid vaccine the anti group is predominantly republican, yeah. Admittedly, I don’t know if the recent pandemic has had a knock on effect on general anti-vaxx sentiment

I think there should be some kind of program to help highschool proto-libertarians recover and become productive members of society. This person is clearly crying for help.

It looks more like a problem with mental-health which had gotten obsessed with and taken cues from right-wing politics. They talk about buildings lighting up w/ energy taken from the atmosphere, and healing people through frequencies. That's not in any libertarian manifesto. And yeah, it would be nice if mental illnesses could be cared for.

Seven idiots and a bear walk into a dragon's lair.

Pre-covid vaccine, I would absolutely believe that anti-vax stuff was more or less evenly split among political parties. Plenty of blue-voting white liberal moms out there who holler about vaccines causing autism. Last time I checked though, none of the covid vaccines are approved for use on small children, so they don't have anything to screech about in this case. And even if they did, I'm sure most of them want things to go back to normal so their kids can go to school and not be in the house 24/7 and mom can go out for brunch mimosas.

I bow in worship to Trump. I want true capitalism which is communism. There are no taxes, only private property, but everything I desire is supplied to me for free. Wet is dry, up is down.

Yeah, what the gently caress kind of reality does Rall live in? A leftist trans black woman is, like, The Ultimate Enemy in modern Trump-Evangelical rhetoric. It's not like conservative Christians are widely known for just putting stuff like that aside; the "friendliest" you're going to get out of them is "I love you... enough to inform you that you are actually [gender assigned at birth], you are The New Nazis, and unless you change literally everything about yourself to be more like me, you are an existential threat."

I don't know enough about Syria politics to say how he is internally but the current Maronite Patriarch has generally been supportive of Hezbollah's right to bear arms to defend itself. He is however against anything that could lead to a break down in Lebanese society that would make Lebanese Christians vulnerable to organized violence. So just someone who would be Israel's collateral damage in any potential war trying to keep safe.

In fact on the Hezbollah issue I think there is an old Dry Bones calling this very Patriarch a successor to hitler back in 2011.

YOUR BODY WAS DESIGNED TO BE HEALTHY AND FIGHT OFF DISEASE

If the “vaccine” works as the government claims it does, wouldn’t people be lining up to receive their dose instead of refusing it?

The CDC and “Dr. Fraudci” have been caught multiple times lying about the virus. Everyday the guidance from the CDC changes. Wear a mask, don’t wear a mask, wear two masks. If you get the vaccine you don’t have to wear a mask and will be able to go back to normal. If you are vaccinated you STILL have to wear a mask AND you STILL have to lockdown.

They are constantly moving the goal posts. How many times do you have to be lied to before you “get it” ?

And now the government is demonizing those people who are hesitant to get an experimental vaccine for a virus that has a 99.97% survival rate, they are smeared as “anti-vaxers” and “anti-science.”

The governments around the world used the “carrot” to persuade people to get the jab. They offered free donuts, free pizza, and cash rewards but the people knew something fishy was going on and refused.

Now it’s time for the “stick.”

People are being told they must get vaccinated or else. No travel, no shopping, no sporting events, you will comply or be punished.

In fact, Italy and France have gone full Nazi and vaccine stormtroopers are patrolling restaurants asking fo “your papers, please.” Hundreds of thousands of people have protested and taken to the streets in France but to no avail, it’s time for something else. Maybe another French revolution?

We know vaccines have benefited mankind and helped us fight infectious diseases that killed many people in the past. No one is saying all vaccines are bad. Polio was wiped out because of vaccinations. In the early 1980s children received three shots for seven diseases. In 2019, children receive 54 vaccines for 16 different diseases.

More shots equal more money. They are talking about a “third booster shot” now.

Why do you think they dismiss “herd immunity?” Your body was designed to be healthy and fight disease.

Why did they suppress COVID treatments like hydroxychloroquine, and ivermectin ?

Why did Pfizer make countries agree to hide any vaccine side effects for 10 years?

Because you can’t make money on a treatment that only costs a dollar a day. (HCQ)

If they REALLY cared about you and your health (they don’t), they would tell you that doses of vitamin D and vitamin B1 will help fight off disease.

Did you ever consider how covid popped up in an election year? Coincidence? We think not. How convenient the virus shows up and we get millions mail in ballots for the 2020 election. We know how that worked out.

Somewhere China and Joe Biden are laughing.

It’s time to take a stand. If you can not control the health of your own body, then you are no longer free. You have become a domestic animal on the government plantation.

Mostly because plagues didn't really exist as we know them because the major historical plagues only evolved and spread through manmade conditions that would've been impossible in a pre-agrarian society.
But tons of them still died off to random diseases, just like wild animals still frequently do today. Literally look outside, ever.

Also herd immunity just means enough people are immunized that people who aren’t immaune effectively are immune since there aren’t many ways for transmission. It doesn’t matter if your immunity is from a vaccine or exposure.

What does matter is that vaccinating people with a vaccine that has a 0.0019% mortality (best I could find, probably lower ) is a better way to achieve it than an order of magnitude more deadly if we got by Garrison’s 0.03% mortality.

I try not to use that argument since infant mortality was the biggest reason for low life expectancy in the past. Over the last two millennia, post-5yo life expectancy was more around 63.
