It's not just Trump supporters who are resisting the COVID vaccine
American Thinker ^ | 19 Jul, 2021 | Jack Hellner

Posted on 07/19/2021 3:57:51 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Yet based on reports in the press, "vaccine hesitancy" is purely a Trumpster phenomenon.

On May 21, federal health officials testified before Congress that only 60% of their employees had received the COVID vaccine.

Federal health officials testified at a Senate committee hearing that about 60% of their employees have been vaccinated against COVID-19 so far

There are three COVID-19 vaccines available in the U.S. that have all received emergency use authorization from the Food and Drug Administration. More than 279 million vaccine doses had been administered in the U.S. and 60.5% of adults had received at least one shot as of May 21.

That was almost exactly the same vaccination rate as that of the public at large. My question: Why is the public continually misled that the people not getting the vaccine are just Trump supporters?

Why hadn’t 40% of federal health workers received the shot by May 21, since I am sure it had been available to them for about six months?

Neither public health officials nor the press is asking those questions. But if I had to guess, it would come down to trust.

Why should the public trust public health officials and social media outlets to be the deciders of what is true and not true about the virus since they intentionally blocked anyone who blamed the origin of the disease on the Wuhan Lab and essentially called it a false conspiracy theory?

The blocking of that information for one year was extremely damaging to any investigation.

It’s the Asians that are still wearing masks everywhere they go.

Makes no sense if the vaccines were meant to finish us off.

It's not, however if this vaccine works (I'm sure it does BTW) and you have received it, I'm curious, why do you care if others take it or not?

It's never written but everyone knows that black people are rejecting the vaccine. I guess when you tell a group forever that whites hate them and that the Tuskegee experiment was normal everyday way white people give them medical care then they'll be hesitant.

They refuse to say it out loud (because they'd rather say things like it's MAGA dummies or vax resistance is just pollical) but a glance at state-run media (Youtube) section on vax awareness it's all videos of black people talking about how great the vaccine is. Black doctors saying it's safe, black patients saying they love it, black government people saying it's needed, etc.

Ironically, seniors are more resistant to the effects of the jab, by virtue of a less over-reactive immune system. Presumably, your body will produce fewer spike proteins, as well.

In Virginia, Blacks are only slightly behind Whites in vaccinations.

In New Jersey there are fewer black people vaccinated than those who are “Other” than White, Asian, Hispanic, or Black.

There are also more people of “unknown” race vaccinated than there are black people vaccinated.

Some people may experience catastrophic reaction within a short period of receiving the vaccine. Then there is a theory that the vaccines are causing changes in our immune system, blood and organs which accumulate over a period of months and years. Before you criticize people for being concerned about an unproven theory, consider that those theories are at least as credible as theories on climate change and look at how many people are willing to believe and act on them.

“So why I am still alive after receiving vaccines 136 days ago?”

Why are so many more dead??

It is childish idiocy for you to claim you are still alive when many have died and the prognosis is out to 18 months. Has it been 18 months? No? Then shut up.

FWIW, I don’t we can trust Deep State’s vaccination figures any more than we can trust any other of their CoupFlu stats.

The only thing I think we can safely surmise is that the uptake rate must suck or Deep State wouldn’t be having hissies.

“It’s the Asians that are still wearing masks everywhere they go.”

In the Asian community, going out sick even with allergies, is considered a “sin”. They expect you to wear a mask to protect others. Covid turned it into an all the time thing. Most of the mask wearers around the university are foreigners and virtue signaling liberals since a mask is meaningless in a grocery store.

The whole thing is all about Control. The same people demanding you obey the government in the grocery store were showing up in our contact tracing. They obeyed in public but not in private which is how they got infected. Their sole concern was YOUR obedience.

When they got sick, they blamed a gas pump instead of the family get together or the trip to the beach that they “deserved”. Getting info out of Mask Karen was like pulling teeth.

Do some deeper thinking. 186,000,000 Americans have already received at least 1 jab.

How many million have died? 0.01%? 0.01% = 18,600 dead.

Have you got links showing news of 18,600 Americans dead from jabs? If not, it is a statistical non-event.

Asians are more considerate of others.

You’re like the little 2 year old tugging at everyone’s pants legs, “Look at me! Look at me! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Look at me, mommy! I’m not dead, Mommy! Look at me!”

Just an annoying attention seeking toddler.

Here’s some deeper thinking. Why is the dose a “one size fits all”? An 120 lb woman receives the same dose as a 300 lb man?! No other drug is prescribed that way.

Trump created Operation Warp Speed in order to get us the vaccines ASAP. Was he part of the secret program to kill us all? I never hear Team Vaccine Fear explain this but maybe I missed it.

You assume perhaps he was duped as much as Session, Pence, and Barr duped him. You’ve posted that crappy question more than once only to get shot down again and again. I guess you’re too stupid to learn.

I guess you do not know much about vaccines. For example the pneumonia vaccine is the same shot for everyone.

That covid vaccine is so small anyways. Barely 1/2 cc of clear fluid. Pretty unnecessary to cut it down any more. In my own family all women and men have received the same dose of vaccine with zero problems for anyone.
