Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI went over to FR last night to nose around. They will not take any vaccine.
None of them.
For various reasons.
This is going to complicate suppression of the virus.

(5,897 posts)It frees up two doses for people who want to take it. Unfortunately these vaxholes will make everyone elses trajectory through the pandemic longer.

(289 posts)If they named the vaccine "the trump vaccine" perhaps they would want to be first in line?

1. It's the mark of the Beast of the Revelation.
2. It contains a tracking chip.
3. It's made from aborted babies.
4. It contains some kind of birth control agent to reduce fertility.
5. It will be deadlier than the virus.
6. Dr. Fauci will make money from it.
There are more, but those are the ones I remember right off the top of my head.

I will be first in line to get it but the folks who refuse will be getting sick and many will die, very sad actually.

(3,557 posts)Are they just generally anti-vaxers or is it something else?
So they wont take a vaccine that is promoted and approved by the FDA and science at large, but theyll eagerly take chloroquine or inject various disinfectants into their body because trump suggested it was a good idea despite the science showing its a bad idea?

Screw vaccines. Theyre for 🐑 sheep

Just because youre not in the herd doesnt mean that youre a wolf. Animals herd/school together for protection. The animals that cant keep up with the herd are the ones picked off by predators...
Thanks for the reply and thanks for checking out FR so I dont have to!!

One of the worst things Reagan ever did was making people distrust the government with his little joke, "I'm here from the government, and I'm here to help." I think that alone did more harm to America than any of his tax policies.

Mariana
(14,854 posts)ganged up together to harass and run all the scientists and other rational thinking people off the board. It worked. You'll find that most of the reasonable conservatives you mention are relative newcomers. They just don't last there.

(50,555 posts)It also has some strange customs, like the "zot." I believe they got the term from Johnny Hart's "BC" comic strip. When you are zotted, not only are you kicked off the site but every post you have ever made is deleted.

(31,981 posts)Are you not seeing the posts? in fact VP elect Harris said she would not take any vaccine that was developed during the Trump administration.
Mariana
(14,854 posts)This is what she says, in the very video you posted.
former9thward
(31,981 posts)And you may wish to ignore it but many people on this site have posted they will not take the vaccine. They want to "wait and see" what happens.
NickB79
(19,233 posts)Trump has always been saying to take the vaccine. He pinned his re-election up n a vaccine. The obvious interpretation of Harris' statement is that she'll be the first to take it if Fauci says to take it as well as Trump.
