1. That's funny!

That's like someone complaining about fossil fuels, but suggesting that we could combust hydrogen instead. And it wouldn't require so much storage space if it was attached to carbon molecules.

[Biophilic]

2. Is this a parody or the real thing? I can't believe it's real, but

I keep finding out that what I think is parody isn't any more. They so confuse me.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. It's real. Apparently from Dec 17, 2020

A number of others commented about it in media other than twitter too.

[Biophilic]

29. Thanks, still can't believe it's real. If someone can post on twitter how can they be so stupid.

I appreciate your answering my question, however.

[hlthe2b]

3. Just when you think they couldn't be "that stupid," they can't wait to prove us wrong...

Damn. Are our public schools (or private, for that matter), really THAT bad?

[Haggard Celine]

4. Another one I like:

'I don't want to put something in my body unless I know what's in it, so I'm going to wait until I get Covid and then get the monoclonal antibodies. What's in the monoclonal antibodies? Hell, I don't know, antibodies to fight the virus, I guess.'

[Lonestarblue]

8. People like this put unknown stuff in their bodies every day if they eat packaged foods.

The amount of harmful chemicals in some of our food is frightening—the vaccine, not so much.

[Josiesdad]

21. I know it is a generalization and all generalizations are eventually false but...

What I find particularly ironic is that the most rabid anti-vaxers I know all seem to have tattoos. And, none seemed to have done a similar critical analysis of the dangers of injecting of heavy metal into their dermis layer. On the contrary, the medical arguments and critical reasoning in both arguments seem to have taken a back seat to peer pressure with a dash of aggressive ignorance.

The solution to this problem is not going to come going down the road toward individual enlightenment. The only time that is going to yield a road-to-damascus moment in the unbelievers is when they are dying on their covid death bed and by any measure that is too late.

31. "Peer pressure with a dash of aggressive ignorance." Well said!

[I_UndergroundPanther]

36. Hey,I have tattoos

And I am a very progressive liberal.

I like body mod.

to expose a classic illustration of wallowing in ignorance.

[llmart]

9. They don't just wallow in it...

sometimes they're actually proud of it!

[malaise]

10. Isn't that the truth

Bet Jackass thought he was making a profound comment

[TNNurse]

11. Proud to share their ignorance.

It should be the official motto of today's GOP.

7. Doesn't this analogy only apply to the J&J vaccine?

Dumb question?

[BumRushDaShow]

14. In the U.S. yes

but around the rest of the world, including the most distributed COVID vaccine in the world - AstraZeneca's, those use some type of adenovirus-type platform (most of them) similar to Janssen's (J&J) or another platform (DNA-based, recombinant, etc).

There are currently only 2 mRNA vaccines currently approved here and in a number of countries around the world (with what appears to be 4 others "in development" outside of the country, including 2 in China) - https://www.raps.org/news-and-articles/news-articles/2020/3/covid-19-vaccine-tracker

12. A veritable super nova of stupidity.

[Historic NY]

13. Jackass there is no weak version of the virus,

living in the 1950s thought of putting all the kids together to get the chick pox won't work with this. You'd be joining the ranks of the un-vaxed dying now.

[TheRickles]

15. I see by his Wikipage that he's an alt right troll, but maybe in this case

he's referencing the fact that the Covid vaccines are made of mRNA fragments and are, technically speaking, not the attenuated form of the whole virus that vaccines have always been. So he could be considered semantically correct, but still way off target. If I was in a forgiving mood, that is ....

[yardwork]

32. Very few vaccines are real viruses now, because of the risk of getting sick.

The tweeter is describing an outmoded, less safe approach to vaccination.

[TheRickles]

33. The annual flu vaccine is made from attenuated live viruses, per the CDC.

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/prevent/keyfacts.htm|

Same with MMR (measles, mumps, rubella): https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/mmr/hcp/about.html|

[WhiskeyGrinder]

16. He tweeted that last year before we had a vaccine.

[Lucky Luciano]

17. Has this been confirmed as real?

[ProfessorGAC]

34. It's Posobiec

That, by itself, is reason to believe it's real.
A poster above has essentially confirmed that it's real.
But, given to whom it's attributed, I have no doubts he actually posted that to twitter.

18. Also known as LYING TO YOURSELF

[paleotn]

19. American idiocy knows no bounds....

What's worse is they're proud of their stupidity.

[JHB]

22. Guys, if "liberal elitists talk about us like we're stupid" bothers you...

...you should probably stop proving them right.

[Mr. Ected]

23. Brawndo's got electrolytes

It's got what plants crave.

[DFW]

24. That's one of those special quotes

You don’t know if if came from The Onion, Andy Borowitz, or Tucker Carlson.

[vlyons]

25. Hey dumb-ass, that's what the vaccine is

a weaker version of the virus that helps us build up immunity. Obviously another pea-brain, who flunked high school biology. In 1796, Brit Dr Jenner demonstrated that infection from the much milder cowpox provided immunity from small pox. George Washington vaccinated his troops against small pox. Vaccination has been a proven effective protection against all sorts of diseases for over 200 years. This is not rocket science!

BTW I just had my booster this past Friday. My arm was slightly sore at the injection site for 1 day. And if CDC says we need a booster every year, I'll get mine along with my flu and pneumonia vaccine shots.

Getting my shots and wearing a mask sure beats the hell out of going into the hospital (assuming there's a vacant bed) and getting a tube shoved down my throat and a catheter shoved up my ying-yang.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

37. Dont get your covid vaccine

Along with flu and pneumonia shot. I did that and omg my arm was useless,had a low grade fever awful aches
It was nasty. Lasted like 4 days.My other moderna taken with no other shots I had just some tiredness.

And I would rethink getting all those shots at the same time.

[Hugin]

27. Ouch!

[NJCher]

28. ring, ring

Oh, Jack....Edward Jenner on the line.

[Solly Mack]

30. That literally made my eyelid twitch.

35. That is so whack it just... might... work...
