Arkansas Gov. tries to reason with anti science constituents

who have been told that the covid vaccine causes infertility in women. He is drowned by booing.

"He then turned to Dr. Jennifer Dillaha, the Arkansas Department of Health Medical Director for Immunizations, who reiterated that getting vaccinated will not lead to infertility."


"I think it's important for people to have factual, accurate information," she concluded.
"We'd love to but you keep covering it up!" an audience member yelled at her."

that was not arrived at through reason.

He's pursuing a fool's errand.

it's too late to teach them how to use their brains, they'll have to learn the hard way (or rather their next of kin will have to learn the hard way)

the COVID 19 crisis (which is still unfolding in all of its horror) are going to pay at the ballot box with their clearly incompetent actions, especially when contrasted clearly against scientific reasoning.

Republican politics have taken over logic and reasoning, and instead, full speed ahead, damn the consequences, thousands of lives lost, etc., get the 'economy' going! Idiots. This logic is backwards ... if one has a robust response system to Covid outbreaks, quick and effective methods of isolating covid outbreaks, masking and vaccinations, etc., the economy could be roaring along but noooo...the idiotic republican thugs are totally reverse of what should happen, just to beat the liberals.

I wish these damn idiots would drive the street like any other normal American and tell me who's a liberal, who's not, etc. by just driving by on the street...you usually can't unless you are some kind of trump nut dressed in some freaky suit or costume. Need to come down to Earth and be reasonable like the rest of us are.

"meeting them where they are"

"speaking to them with respect"

"addressing their economic anxiety"

These dear souls need to be handheld and coddled into trusting institutions.

Lol.
