VA Republican: "Short of Being Raped or Killed," There Was Nothing Worse ThanGetting a COVID-19 Vac

See below for the latest extremist lunacy from Del. Dave LaRock (R-HD33), in which he said that “short of being raped or killed” there was nothing worse than getting the vaccine. Now, obviously, in a sane world, someone like LaRock would NEVER have been elected in the first place, and certainly would never have been reelected, and certainly wouldn’t have a shot at reelection this time around. I mean, we’re talking about this guy:

Extremist VA Del. Dave LaRock (R-HD33) Shared Content from 9/11 “Truther” Who Wrote Book on “12-foot-tall alien lizard people, many of whom just happen to be posing as Jews”; FWIW Virginia: Far-Right Republican Del. Dave LaRock Pushes Dangerous and Irresponsible Vaccine Misinformation; Video: Del. Cia Price, Del. Patrick Hope Slam Far-Right/Extremist Del. Dave LaRock’s “Dangerous,” “False Information” COVID Vaccine Bill, Which Is Then Voted Down 18-3; Following 1/6/21 Insurrection at U.S. Capitol, Loudoun County Board of Supervisors Demands Resignation of Faaaaar-Right Del. Dave LaRock (R); Loudoun Delegate Dave LaRock (R) in Trouble With The Law…Again; Far-Right Virginia Delegate Shares Post Railing Against a Supposed “engineered tyrannical coup d’état” Against Trump; etc.


And yet, sad to say, LaRock is heavily favored for reelection, given that his district is “red” (hell, even neo-Confederate Corey Stewart won it, albeit “only” by three points over Sen. Tim Kaine). Still, there’s an alternative, if by a miracle HD33 voters decide not to reelect an extremist, insurrectionist nutjob like LaRock. That would be “pragmatic centrist” Paul Siker, who is attempting to “thread the needle” by building a “coalition of support” based on not just Democrats, but also on “moderate independents and moderate Republicans.” Let’s hope he succeeds, and that Virginia no longer has to be disgraced by the likes of Dave LaRock.

The disgusting bull crap these repug politicians spew daily is just beyond the pale. Politicizing a pandemic and the efforts to curb the spread is just not acceptable.

somehow appearing Jewish (with a yarmulke?) would allow it to escape detection? LOL.

To be safe, I shall now suspect anyone with bad posture of being a Lizard Alien. Although this raises a lot of other questions: are these the same Reptilians that took over the British royal family? And what's so bad about being a 12' tall Lizard Alien - it would certainly help with getting things from high places?

Icke’s theories are objectionable for many reasons, beginning with the fact that they are, objectively speaking, ridiculous. But particularly worrisome is the anti-Semitism of his worldview: The idea that the world is run by a secret cabal of Jews (it’s not) is a recurring theme, and the idea that these imaginary Jews drink blood and sacrifice Christian babies (they don’t) goes back centuries and has been used to justify horrific persecution of Jewish people since before the Crusades.

Icke maintains that he is not an anti-Semite, and that he is criticizing not real Jews, but 12-foot-tall alien lizard people, many of whom just happen to be posing as Jews.

“I‘m not talking about one earth race, Jewish or non-Jewish,” he told the Guardian in 2001. “I’m talking about a genetic network that operates through all races, this bloodline being a fusion of human and reptilian genes.”
...
If you believe in lizard people, this distinction might conceivably matter, but if you don’t, the result is that Icke is still projecting vile conspiracy theories onto a whole bunch of Jewish people, whether he thinks they are Jewish or not, which makes his hair-splitting look academic at best.

Has he BEEN raped? Obviously he hasn't been killed, because we have to endure his foaming at the mouth drama queen antics. Someone put a ball gag on this idiot, please!

Has this jackass even been vaccinated? If not, how would he know?

By the way, you thug, I, who am extremely neddle-phobic, and extremely chemically sensitive, and an assault survivor, had exactly ZERO reaction to the vaccine.

F*** off and kindly quit this plane of existence.

I can tell you first hand that covid is worse than the vaccine. With Covid, I had a fever, body aches, chills, headache, upper respiratory congestion, sore throat, total exhaustion for a couple weeks and tired for weeks after.

With the vaccine, shot 1, Sore arm, fever of 99.3, took two Tylenol, went to bed, woke up fine and went to work.

Shot 2 slightly higher fever 99.5, skipped the tylenol, drank a power aid, went to bed, woke up fine.

As are a lot of relatively minor things. Delicate Dave should be happy he doesn't have to deal with, to pick one example, monthly menstrual cramps. Or survive a severe winter while unable to afford to pay for heating oil. Of have to do any sort of manual labor. Or break a limb. Or watch someone he cares about die from Covid complications because he was too inconsiderate to wear a mask around them.
