‘What’s Covid?’ Why People at America’s Hardest-Partying Lake Are Not About to Get Vaccinated
Politico ^ | 7/27/2021 | NATASHA KORECKI

OSAGE BEACH, Mo.—The petite blonde bartender in ripped jean shorts bounced to each side of a square-shaped bar as women in bikinis and shirtless men lined up on a sweltering afternoon to order Bud Light, vodka and soda, and piles of nachos at this dockside retreat in the Lake of the Ozarks region.

In a county designated a Covid hot spot, in a state with one of the lowest vaccination rates in the nation, and in a region where hospitals are nearing capacity as the Delta variant takes hold, Erin, a bartender at Backwater Jack’s, couldn’t be in a more vulnerable position. She interacts closely with hundreds of maskless customers—sometimes on a single day. She knows most of them are probably not vaccinated. And she doesn’t care. She isn’t either.

Covid is the greatest propaganda manipulation agenda and wedge issue of all time.

Mike Adams thinks this is an extinction event for liberals and the deep state. Those taking the jab will eventually die of heart failure due to plugged up circulatory system.

the dreaded delta variant killed 132 yesterday. Well, at most 132 since this is the official barely trustworthy count

“What will it take for Trump supporters to take the vaccine?”

For this Trump supporters it’s:

5 years of clinical trials and full FDA approval.

Hope that clears things up.

I dunno. That’s counter-intuitive, for me. Why give the advantage to those most likely to resist? If the goal is fewer people, fine. But what leftist wants fewer sheeple, and more deplorables?

Trump also said Pence, Sessions, and Barr were good men who will do the right thing.

Because it is not a vaccine. It is called a “vaccine” for propaganda reasons.

Would you have lined up for a GMO therapy shot? Cause, in reality, that is all it is, and one not approved for use except under an emergency.

“Trump worked hard to get a vaccine. What will it take for Trump supporters to take the vaccine?”

And to think some people still believe there is no such thing as a stupid question.

Many Trump supporters HAVE taken the vaccine. However, not being mindless sheep, people that have already gained natural immunity (like me) understand there is no good reason to also get a shot. Especially an experimental one with complications that are documented to be worse for those with antibodies already.

And those whose are young and in good health understand how low the risk of a serious illness or death from Covid is for them may make that same choice.

Now what will it take for you to understand that?

“Too late to convince anti-vaxers to get it now.”

Only an idiot takes an experimental drug treatment for something that is 99.99% survivable.

Since these drugs are not effective, never could be either, and work only maybe 6 months, they are treatments and not vaccines.

You’ve repeatedly posted your pathetic, whining push for “conservatives to take these shots”..... and, you’ve repeatedly had it explained to you that these are NOT vaccines (when you tried to compare them to other, traditional vaccines) and....the numerous risks/adverse effects of these shots.

Now, you post a lame polutico piece attempting to shame those who DO question the safety and efficacy of these shots.

Give. It. Up. and realize that conservatives believe in doing due diligent research and deciding for THEMSELVES.

And, if YOU’RE “vax”d, STOP worrying. Especially about everyone else.

I kind of thought the left celebrated that general mentality for pretty much my whole life.....hmmm

How about less than a 99.6% survival rate? How about a lesson in history and current events to the paranoid schizophrenics who rushed out to get it?

You would have to remove a few realities from my brain:

1-Vaccinated people continue to get Covid.

2-Vaccinated people continue to experience serious side effects.

3-I have all the therapeutic drugs I need in the event I get sick.

4-I have stayed healthy throughout this pandemic without altering my lifestyle.

Because it is not a vaccine. It is called a “vaccine” for propaganda reasons.

More like financial reasons. If it gets "vaccine" stamped on the bottle with the permission of the FDA, the makers are insulated from liability.

“Well-I want proof that EVERY SINGLE ILLEGAL (Libs can’t even come up with an accurate number) is vaccinated.”

AND every politician and all their staff, all gov employees, all lobbyists and all their staff, all public school employees and board members, and all of those people’s immediate family members. (And proof it’s not saline.)

I'll assume you're in the 'never going to take it' camp.
