I went over to FR last night to nose around. They will not take any vaccine.

[Grasswire2]

None of them.

For various reasons.

This is going to complicate suppression of the virus.

[COL Mustard]

1. I'm Actually Okay With That

It frees up two doses for people who want to take it. Unfortunately these vaxholes will make everyone else’s trajectory through the pandemic longer.

[3catwoman3]

3. Vaxholes - perfect term. I work in pediatrics.

I am very tired of vaxholes.

[TheBlackAdder]

4. Yep.

.



.

[PatSeg]

6. Me either

But my heart goes out to all the doctors and nurses who will have to treat them.

[Shermann]

15. They will be vaccinated and won't have to take on nearly as much risk just to do their job nt

[PatSeg]

30. Yes

but they are already stretched the limit taking care of people in the ICU. The physical and emotional stress is overwhelming.

[DrToast]

18. You shouldn't be okay with that

Vaccines work better when more people take them.

[MizLibby]

2. Being that so many of "them" are so dense

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

[Shermann]

16. They are at least clever enough to see right through any trojan horse strategy

It'd be like mixing pills in with dog food. Dog: DO NOT WANT!

[DFW]

5. Look on the bright side

It will facilitate the suppression of Republicans, and they will do all the work.

[mr_lebowski]

7. Lemme guess ... a significant portion of them don't want it cause Pzifer, et al ...

"Cheated" Dear Leader out of victory in November ... amirite?

Well ... let Darwin at 'em all, I say ...

[Mariana]

31. Oh, no, their "reasons" are much crazier than that.

Pick any one or more of the following:

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.

[Boogiemack]

32. You forgot: It will turn them black. nt

[durablend]

34. And gay too!

[Beachnutt]

8. I just hope I can talk some of my family members into

taking it.
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.

[Thomas Hurt]

9. Oh yeah, the Trumper extended family have been saying this since almost the beginning.

Mark of the Beast, plot to RFI tag everyone, etc. More RWNJ f*ckery.

[Victor_c3]

10. Just curious, what is their reasoning for not willing to take it?

Are they just generally anti-vaxers or is it something else?

——————


So they won’t take a vaccine that is promoted and approved by the FDA and science at large, but they’ll eagerly take chloroquine or inject various disinfectants into their body because trump suggested it was a good idea despite the science showing it’s a bad idea?

[Grasswire2]

11. one reply

To: ChicagoConservative27
Screw vaccines. They’re for 🐑 sheep

Fear not the covid bogeyman

Screw masks. Shutdowns. And demoncrap. Overlords

[Victor_c3]

14. Well, huh....

I’m not sure how to take the sheep thing.

Just because you’re not in the herd doesn’t mean that you’re a wolf. Animals herd/school together for protection. The animals that can’t keep up with the herd are the ones picked off by predators...

Thanks for the reply and thanks for checking out FR so I don’t have to!!

[Poiuyt]

28. My guess is that they don't want to take the vaccine for the same reason they won't wear masks

They don't want the government telling them what to do.

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.

[louis-t]

12. Well, maybe they will all just die.

So tired of those people.

[Kaleva]

13. That place is dominated by vocal, angry , fringe lunatics

The few reasonable conservatives there get attacked and are stalked. I dont know how that place was some years ago but it seems to me that Robinson is finbe with the lunatics running the asylum.

[Mariana]

33. Some years ago, some of the religious nuts and conspiracy theorists

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.

[Shermann]

17. FR is Free Republic? Is that the most prominent conservative forum? nt

[MineralMan]

19. It's a lunatic right-wing forum.

Popular? Not really. It has a group of rabid active users, but is not an influential forum.

[jmowreader]

21. It's one of the oldest

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.

[Shermann]

22. Oh that sounds fun. I want to be zotted!

I've only been kicked off one conservative forum so far.

[Grasswire2]

27. I was kicked off FR during the George W. Bush administration. Ha!

I used to regularly monitor it.

Rarely visit these days.

[Skittles]

42. Freak Republic

has not evolved since its inception

[former9thward]

20. People on this site are saying the same thing.

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]

35. She said no such thing. Stop lying.

"If the public health professionals, if Dr. Fauci, the doctors, tell us that we should take it, I'll be the first in line to take it," Harris said. "But if Donald Trump tells us we should take it, I'm not taking it."

This is what she says, in the very video you posted.

[former9thward]

36. Trump has said we should take the vaccines.

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]

38. It's not an either or statement

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.

[roamer65]

23. RimJob still running it?

[Grasswire2]

25. yes

Fresno's finest.

[Grasswire2]

26. yes

Fresno's finest.

[roamer65]

29. Lol.

[Zorro]

37. And still getting his government disability check, I'm sure

[tavernier]

24. I will get the vaccine

But I will still wear a mask in rooms full of ppl I don’t know.

[Elwood P Dowd]

39. Does their board still look like it came from the 1990s? (nt)

[Grasswire2]

41. yep

No change at all, except for the new QANON forum.

[Midnight Writer]

40. Some employers intend to make it a requirement to be vaccinated to work for them.

That will be interesting.
