Prediction: Trumpers see Omicron transmissibility and will use Trump booster etc to justify Vacc.

[BlueBlud]

The spector of Omicron transmissiblity has Trumpers thinking that NOW[soon] it the right time to get vaxxed. They will use Biden's NICE words to Trump, and Trump being boosted as EXCUSE to soften tone and get vaxxed.

They will claim that it is all that was ever needed, but Biden is at fault, for not giving Trump compliments. Even though Biden did already give credit.

The Trumpers need some kind of WIN, to climb down from their deadly perch.

Heard a Fox news blonde last night, saying that Americans are incapable of being told what to do, or even accepting advice. She said due to our FREEDOM fetish, we "KNEE JERK" refuse to accept even good advice.

Surely, we can't be that ignorantly obstinate. Seems some of us really took spaghetti westerns to heart.

1. I wish TFG would shut up

If they didn't get the vaccine - knowing who is getting sick from C-19 . . .

2. Even Maddow is creating a WIN for them.

So they can puff up their chests and declare victory.

4. Well Susan got sick

And so I'm sure to her - seeing her life partner in that situation . . . it's driving her position.

My brother had the original and delta (prior to even being able to get his vaccinations) and he's just a good hearted person . . . he wouldn't wish Covid on his worst enemy.

3. At this point I don't much care the reason, just get them to do it! nt

[MineralMan]

5. I don't care. Anything that gets more people to get vaccinated

has my approval.

7. Can't argue with that...nt

6. You're Dreaming

When all is said and done, America won't exceed 70% fully vaccinated.

If you include a Booster requirement to be considered fully vaccinated, we'll be lucky to achieve 60%. I doubt we'll reach that.

It's already baked in, and NOTHING is going to change that reality.

It will pretty much take a miracle to get America out of an endless pandemic. I honestly see little chance of this country getting to endemic status.

JMO.

8. "we "KNEE JERK" refuse to accept even good advice"? Sounds like a personal problem.

[BlueBlud]

9. I think it is more a societal problem. We seem to be the exceptions.

11. Scientists have a term for it ...

10. Two fine points

This won't really happen, because the "base" doesn't do nuance. They can't turn on a dime like that. Vacs bad, once they were programmed to think that, that will be what they know.

Also, this isn't about "Freedom." This "Freedom" bullshit is a weak pretense, 99% of the time when the scream FREEDOM it is partisan fit throwing.

These people are in fact strongly conformists. They adhere to the same religion, wear a lot of the same shit, etc.
