Prager Cries Unvaccinated Are Most Hated Group Since Slavery After Claiming Gay Men Werent Treated Like PariahsFar right wing columnist and talk show host Dennis Prager is now flip-flopping on his lie that gay men were not treated like pariahs during the height of the AIDS crisis, but now he claims Americans refusing to be vaccinated against COVID-19 are the most hate group since slavery.
There were 4000 FU Dennis Pragers just on one tweet last week because I had the chutzpah to say that the unvaccinated are pariahs, the way that gays were during the AIDS crisis, Prager said, as the video below shows.
Earlier this month Prager had falsely claimed, During the AIDS crisis can you imagine if gay men and intravenous drug users, who were the vast majority of people with AIDS, had they been pariahs the way that the non-vaccinated are? But it would have been inconceivable and should have been inconceivable.
Pragers lie earned him a Pants on Fire rating from Politifact, which among other examples cites the near-passage of an AIDS quarantine law in California; calls by prominent commentators for banning HIV-positive people from certain jobs or even tattooing them; jokes made about the disease by White House officials.

(55,039 posts)One of these mutations might level the unvaccinated for good. Very sad to see stupid mental rigidity devastating people. But you can't talk sense to them. They prefer ivermectin to vaccines. I think it's tied up in politics, invincibility, macho fearlessness, and delusions. Cannot think of a time when such large swaths of the public went so crazy.

Being a slave: Definitely not a choice.
This one is so simple to see it really exposes their sense of privilege.

now he is out selling this horse shit? Prager knows what he is saying is a lie but he also knows among
his mouth breathing followers he can sell himself as a victim of the liberal media and the left.

(37,675 posts)because the drug 'test' field kit said the sugar or detergent were drugs.
I have yet to hear of any cases of the police pulling cars over with unvaccinated people in them and throwing them in jail for having suspected COVID when the actual lab test comes back three months later and says "it was just allergies".

On October 18, 2021, Prager announced that he had tested positive for COVID-19 the previous week and had received ivermectin and Regeneron's monoclonal antibody treatment. He stated that "natural immunity" from deliberately contracting COVID-19 is what he had "hoped for the entire time". from wiki

Saint Ronnie, that's who.
But guys like Prager are just click bait. Unfortunately many people listen, and many believe.

(34,889 posts)Like Ryan White, and the other child and adult hemophiliacs, who got it through blood transfusions. They were run out not only their schools, but in some cases, their own homes because they were sick. Praeger needs a mental evaluation to see if he has Alzheimer's or dementia, because his memory is sorely lacking. Perhaps someone could show him the recordings of Princess Diana hugging an AIDS victim, and why that was such a HUGE deal at the time.

Twenty-four years ago, when my non-smoker mother was dying of lung cancer, Prager (a pipe smoker) was on the air railing against the immorality of having to smoke outside because of "the myth of second-hand smoke."
