SEN. RON JOHNSON (R-WI) on natural immunity: "Why do we think that we can create something better than God in terms of combatting disease? There are certain things we have to do, but we have just made so many assumptions, and it's all pointed toward everybody getting a vaccine."

Just by leaving the word 'can' out, does he realize he's admitted that man created god?

can inhabit where silly scientific things like tv, smartphones, internet, novocaine , penicillin, electricity, canned goods, microwaves, and refrigeration don't exist, and can't interfere with their natural animal culture? Because I'm willing to fund the one-way flights for these neanderthals.

Just don't tell them about the earth axis tilt: That way, they can continue to annually fear for the end of the world, and keep praying to their imaginary gawds in the sky.

doctors to find a cure as well. STFU about anything "God-ish" until you decide to feed the hungry, house the homeless and make sure there is medical care for the poor. All that "God-y" stuff.

Sen. Ron Johnson says he'd support a vaccine mandate for an 'incredibly deadly' virus but not COVID-19, which has killed more than 613,000 Americans

Sen. Ron Johnson, a Republican from Wisconsin, said he would support a vaccine mandate for an "incredibly deadly disease," but said he would not support such a mandate for COVID-19.

"No," Johnson said during a Friday evening appearance on Fox News' "The Ingraham Angle" when asked whether he would ever support any sort of vaccine mandate. "Not unless there's some incredibly deadly disease. I mean much higher infection-fatality rates than we have with COVID."

"We don't know the final infection-fatality rate, but right now it's looking like it's not going to be much more than double a bad season of flu," he added.

Scientists believe that the mortality rate of COVID-19 is "substantially higher" than strains of the seasonal flu, according to Johns Hopkins University. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated there were about 34,000 deaths in the United States from flu-related causes in the 2018-2019 flu season.

Trusting so-called God given natural immunity but denying a similarly God-given viral disease while claiming to know God best.
Dear Senator, Covid may be your God's new flood.

It certainly is the newest "fruit of knowledge" test. When so many are failing, they are not right. Luckily, what survives is 'Left".
