Chris Christie: Unvaccinated people don't want to be 'indoctrinated' by government

[left-of-center2012]

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) advised officials working to convince unvaccinated Americans to receive a coronavirus inoculation to focus on explaining the facts about vaccines rather than mandates.

Christie added that vaccine-hesitant Americans "don't want to be indoctrinated."

The former governor of New Jersey said leaders in the U.S. have "fallen down" in their messaging campaign on vaccinations. "They're just saying, 'Get vaccinated,' " he said.

Christie said said he recently spent time with a conservative friend who he said told him that he
doesn't "want the government telling me what I have to do. These folks do not respond to be ordered to do those things".

1. How much money did we spend saving his worthless butt when he caught COVID

due to not following masking guidelines. He can go f himself.

[The Wizard]

2. Running for president

as a Republican means kissing the ass of the Trump death cult.

[Me.]

3. And What Has THey Been Doing

such a stupid, fake argument considering driver's licenses, seat belts and any number of thing

[NCDem47]

4. News Flash for Christie:

No matter how it is spun, or soft-pedaled, contrarian right wingers will not be vaccinated. Their polluted minds are in a fixed political state not open to reason or logic. Stop blaming those looking after public health! There is no middle ground here.

[House of Roberts]

5. '...explaining the facts about vaccines...'

is a form of indoctrination.

Don't believe me?

Just ask any Trumper MAGAt!

6. Oh fuck you Chris Christie.

Way to spew the drivel and not say a damn worthwhile thing. It's the messaging from his party that is killing us and they are the ones who need to change what they are putting this. This clip is so ridiculous!

[Volaris]

7. Oh good god I'm so fucking tired of this whiney bullshit from them.

You know who else doesnt wanna go to the doctor to get their shots?
Five year olds.
It's time to be done coddling these assholes. You're an adult fucking act like it.

[smirkymonkey]

11. +1000

I am so tired of this pathetic, whiny, immature mentality I could scream! I hope they all end up taking dirt naps.

[Walleye]

8. Republicans can't face the fact that their party is killing people by the thousands

[Progressive dog]

9. To be expected

Governments always set rules and penalties for disobedience. They are supposed to protect law abiding citizens from the criminals who feel they have the right to harm others by refusing to help stop the spread of disease.

[Wingus Dingus]

10. What are they supposed to be saying? Nothing?

Or reverse psychology? Is the Biden administration supposed to say "whatever you do, DON'T get the vaccine now, it's pointless, don't bother, it'll make your nuts fall off!" so that the oppositional-defiant idiots out there go "WAIT a minute, now they don't WANT me to get vaccinated! That means I SHOULD get vaccinated!"?

[spanone]

12. Blow hard says what?

indoctrinated? what utter bullshit

[kacekwl]

13. Christie, you and your backwards party of death

and destruction caused the I don't trust government stupidity. Go lay on a beach and STFU.

[lagomorph777]

14. They's rather be indoctrinated by idiots like you, Chris Crisco.

[TheBlackAdder]

15. They're like Little Vincents. The Wolf: Pretty please, with sugar on top, get the fucking vaccine!

.

The Wolf: Boys, get to work.
Vincent: A "please" would be nice.
The Wolf: Come again?
Vincent: I said a "please" would be nice.
The Wolf: Get it straight, Buster. I'm not here to say "please". I'm here to tell you what to do. And if self-preservation is an instinct you possess, you better ****ing do it and do it quick. I'm here to help. If my help's not appreciated, lots of luck, gentlemen.
Jules: No no, Mr. Wolfe, it's not like that. Your help is definitely appreciated.
Vincent: Look, Mr. Wolfe, I respect you. I just don't like people barking orders at me, that's all.
The Wolf: If I'm curt with you, it's because time is a factor. I think fast, I talk fast, and I need you two guys to act fast if you want to get out of this. So pretty please, with sugar on top, clean the ****ing car.

Pretty please, with sugar on top, get the fucking vaccine!

16. .... but they'll swallow Q/45 bilgewash with glee. He's part of it. There's blood on hands ...

... hands for even parsing that crap into words.

17. Conservatives/Republicans are full of shit. They don't care about "indoctrination".

They are resistant to information that is contrary to their beliefs and desires. They are all for "indoctrination". They want to force "patriotic education" on school children. They have much higher rates of, and more rigid acceptance of fundamentalist religion.

Just like the "Big Government" lie, they are lying about indoctrination. They simply don't want to be told to do the correct thing. They don't want to be told to behave in pro-social ways.

Leaders are NOT, "just saying, get vaccinated". They are explaining WHY vaccination is the best way to limit the spread of COVID-19, and encouraging people to get their vaccine so that we can truly go back to work and school and public life without the virus killing another 600,000 of us.

18. All this BS is just to lay the blame on the Biden Administration for the recent rise in Covid-19,

and concoct excuses for all those imbeciles who have refused to be vaccinated for months. Unfortunately, Biden wasn't persuasive enough, or sufficiently sensitive to the needs of these assholes.

[SWBTATTReg]

19. Vaccinated people would like to stay alive, eh, Mr. C? I guess that you don't care about

other people at all, what-so-ever.
