AUDub 11,301 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 That's a whole lot of words to simply say "people are incapable of thinking critically. Cut them some slack." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a huge proponent of the vaccines, but I do think the post does explain why many people are justifying making what I consider to be an ignorant decision not to get vaccinated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoffeeTiger 5,380 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Eh, keep in mind that was just a list of tweets of very cherry picked events delivered in the most Right wing slanted way possible to try and show that media and politicians are liars about everything (except for Trump and Conservative media of course, who are always accurate apparently). NotTheBee is just trying to turn into the Republican version of Buzzfeed I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a stupid bunch of non-sequiturs. "Remember when Harland and Wolff insisted the Titanic was unsinkable and the mainstream media agreed? Boom! No wonder people are hesitant about the vaccine! Facts and logic!" 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanTiger 20,614 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 The latest I'm hearing from people in the comments on Facebook and such is, "Trust the science? You mean the science that tells us that transwomen are women and the unborn aren't human beings?" Look, we can debate all day long how the media or how people call this or that thing "science" in the name of some social/moral agenda in the culture. But the debate over the science of transgenderism has zero impact on the well-understood sciences of virology, epidemiology, immunizations/vaccines, and so on. Non sequitur indeed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaturdayGT 719 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) People have to take into account that when you call someone stupid, ignorant or whatever thrills you to the point you can't contain your political tiraids you unleash on those hesitant to vaccinate, they probably won't vaccinate just to spite the fact that your an a**hole lol Edited August 14, 2021 by SaturdayGT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's a much smaller percentage of people who are that dedicated to politics than you think...I mean im sure people think like that, but those are the ones who's lives are eaten up with politics.

DKW 86 7,579 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Well, when i asked someone about that very topic just now, here was his answer: "Why should I take this seriously when we know our leaders do not take this s*** seriously?" Elitists like GN here, they do not apply these rules to themselves. This guy is giving the consumate a**hole apology here. Hell I fully expect him to yell "NERDS!" like the 80s movie villain he looks like. Anyone that thinks he is serious is an idiot. This recall is about how big an a**hole he shows himself to be.24-7. He cant quit laughing in this video because "how dare you paeans expect ME, GAVIN NEWSON, to have to act like you!" He doesnt mention that his "friends" are extremely powerful healthcare lobbyists, you know the people leading CA thru COVID...He lies to the viewers twice. The room was open only on one side. No one there wore a mask coming in, during the chatter/mixing, because they are the CA Elite. He lied, he did not pay for his meal. This was a 24-7 Lobbyist dinner with a birthday as cover.

Some of the reason is the issue isn't being framed as "take one for the team." The issue is being framed as "stop being a jackass and get the vaccine."
