I don't understand why you are so hung up on us getting the vaccine, we aren't going to.

I've literally said multiple times in this thread, that I honestly couldn't care less if you get the vaccine.

Sorry I said that wrong. Why are people reeeeeing about people not vaccinating? Nothing they say will convince anyone why do they continue to bother? You, I assume speak to more reeeeeeeeeeeeing leftists than I do, any insight?

You're too busy being snarky to make an actual point. As I mentioned, I literally don't care if anyone gets the vaccine. Also don't care if those who aren't vaccinated end up in the ICU, I'm merely pointing out that I think some of you are intentionally misrepresenting information in the attempt to push an agenda that the somehow the government is incompetent, but also competent enough to create a global conspiracy. I've seen all the talk of "China created this to kill people" has died down, since it doesn't really kill many who aren't elderly or who have comorbidities. And again, what would be the end game?

So it boils down to "My rights, my body" which is also hysterical given the historical stance of Republicans on reproductive rights. It's a litany of contradicting beliefs I find amusing.

You are doing a fair amount of misrepresenting yourself in that little paragraph.

Please elucidate instead of making vague statements.

Upset? No. Just pointing out it was an incorrect assumption.

I never said Republicans were the only ones refusing the vaccine, we have liberal idiots like Kyrie Irving who thinks the earth is flat, also refusing the vaccine.

Based on past postings, I don't think anyone still participating, for the most part, is a liberal. If I have made an incorrect assumption about the political views of those in this thread with an anti-vax mindset, I will own that and apologize.

It's becoming a familiar pattern: make assumptions, then be amused by the implications of those assumptions.

So, either the NIH is lying or Fauci/Colins are lying. Figure out who stands to benefit from this and that should point you in the correct direction.

Also, you damn Republicans and your conspiracy theories.....

I don't understand why you make "jokes" like this, then argue that you already knew that information, all while arguing with everyone that doesn't agree with you. I seriously hope your ego doesn't get in the way of you understanding basic data that has been public since the beginning.

Your denial is concerning.

1. Anyone that makes a different decision than you is not an idiot - calling them idiots shows you have no standing
2. Making a personal choice not to take an experimental "vaccine" isn't a political decision

This was a good read. Rather than claim Covid is the seasonal flu, he explains how Covid replaced the seasonal flu.
