Person who has spent 20+ years studying viruses and how they effect the human body: “Vaccines are effective and safe.”
Random politician with very little science or medical education: “Vaccines are bad because <equally ignorant Podcaster> say they are.”
Republican voter: “I agree with the idiot politician.”
Context is the left’s biggest weakness and the lack of it is the alt-rights greatest strength.
It’s easy to be short, quippy, and loud and much harder to be informed and detailed.
You’re right, but consider that virtually all forms of media have been working overtime to reduce average attention spans to the narrowest possible window over the past 20-30 years. This can make it much more difficult for the informed messages to register before that next notification fires off.
I’m a biostatisitcian who has taught several infectious disease epidemiology classes, and my hick-ass family doesn’t treat me like I know what I’m talking about.
Even my actually libertarian parents are voting for RFK Jr. RFK Jr. led the charge of anti vaxxing in Somoa during a measles outbreak. 63 children died. He went into black communties during covid and compared the RNA vaccine to the Tuskeegee experiments. Fuck antivaxxers and fuck RFK.

Strange choice considering Chase Oliver is actually a p decent candidate
Is he, though?
I will immediately end the Federal backing of student loans by asking Congress to make all current loans interest-free, while simultaneously ending all future government-guaranteed loans.I would then make the discharge of interest revenue neutral by requiring the Department of Defense to cut costs by closing overseas bases and installations and bringing our troops home, instead of engaging in expensive nation-building and peacekeeping missions abroad. It is only right that the DoD bear part of the cost, as mounting debt is as big a threat to our security as any foreign enemy,
Finally, I would allow students to stabilize their financial situations by allowing student loan debt to be dischargeable in bankruptcy just like any other loan. I want a well-educated populace that can compete with the minds of any other nation, but not at the cost of our nation’s financial and retirement security.
Yes.
I mean, I agree with the second one (and massive cuts to the DoD and the staggering amount of wastr there; not so much the focus on foreign bases), but I hope there’s a LOT more stuff than that.

daaaaamn I didn’t know he did that, that is deeply fucked up

Thanks for doing what you do, even if there’s ignorant people in the world that don’t believe you.

Their terms are acceptable as long as they sign waivers that they will not seek medical help for those illnesses.
It’s almost like the diseases aren’t bad specifically because we have vaccines.
These dumbfucks don’t see the danger because we spent so much time, effort, and money to make them not so bad. I’m sure there is a name for this phenomenon. Idiocy, maybe?
Translation - 31% of Republicans are braindead ignorants
These people are going to be responsible for a virus evolving into such a virulent strain that we’ll all be fucked because there won’t be a viable vaccine anymore.
Just wait until antibiotics stop working. That day will be a hell of a shit show.
And these are the same sort of people who don’t go through the full course because “I feel better now.”
Stupid fucks. My father nearly died from polio. And these assholes wanna bring it back.
31% of republicans won’t be voting for long
Sadly they spawn like roaches so there are plwnty of replacement morons.
Most of these Republicans probably have been vaccinated in their childhood. It’s their children that will pay the price of their ignorance.
They’ll learn the hard way. And then their blood line will disappear.
That’s not how vaccines and herd immunity work. We’re ALL going to learn the hard way.
It seems like this will sort itself out.
And take a lot of people down with them due to lack of herd immunity.
Except that eventually it will destroy the herd immunity that keeps us safe. These easily eradicated diseases will mutate and vaccinated people will start getting sick.
It won’t. This is just a symptom of the mass delusion 20% of Americans are afflicted with. They need cult deprogramming before they destroy the entire country.
If only it would take care of the issue by only affecting those that weren’t vaccinated
Excluding those that can’t be vaccinated for medical reasons.
And infants. And these people’s own children.
One must think those 30% are the crazies. The Gaetz. The MTG. The Boebert. They’re just leading the party at the moment. Their handlers lost control to Russia. I believe we will see many changes to GOP over the next year
Well I say Republicans are more dangerous than the diseases they cause.
That’s not even a bad number, honestly, I expected the percentage to be much higher, especially after the world-wide drama around COVID vaccines.
Maybe the number would have been higher, but it’s self-correcting.
F*ck AI… Can we please invent cryosleep, so that we can skip the next 50 years of this timeline and wake up when it’s over without aging?
Bold of you to assume that things will be better in 50 years.
The genie grants your wish. Everyone on Earth at the moment of the wish emerges from cryosleep 50 years from now with no memory of how they got into the cryosleep pod, nor how they got to it, and worse, as well rested as they were right before the event happened. Important parts of infrastructure have crumbled in our absence. Nature has taken back over.
Mankind finds itself with different problems, but are they any better?
Interesting, like a viral suppressant, letting earth heal.
