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

Posted on 07/27/2021 6:47:57 AM PDT by Sixgun Symphony

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.

“Trump fast-tracked the process. He may have been gamed.”

Trump WAS gamed. He trusted Pence, and Pence chose Fauci and Birx (deep med & pharma player$).

I’ll assume you’re an idiot who did.

Lack of preachy, condescending pressure and threats by proponents of the vaccine? Because there are quite a few people saying "no" simply because they deeply resent those attitudes.

So at least you can say you've been doing your part!

When the open the gates at the border, and load a bunch into a van.

It would only take a few extra seconds to jab each one.

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

It's hilarious that you used a nasty Politico hit piece on regular Americans by Friend-of-Hillary NATASHA KORECKI, to then try to intimidate FReepers.

I've read your other 'stuff', SS.

FOAD.

I’m doing fine. I survived getting sick last year. You’re still sucking your thumb in fear. Go get your heart scanned and see if you’re already suffering.

These shots would be non-existent if the pharms were held accountable.

“I’ll assume you’re in the ‘never going to take it’ camp.”

I’ll assume CodeToad is in the “I get information, data and history, check their legitimacy, then make the rational, informed and lowest risk choice.” camp.

I’m guessing that many are regretting getting jabbed, now that the bad side effects are more publicized. So, do they admit their regret, or just bash the un-jabbed to assuage their feelings?

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

Trump was more in favor of therapeutics. He was forced into vaccines by Fauci and the Scarf.

They SCARED him into vaccines with FEAR PORN.

So, he did what any responsible leader would do, he listened to his experts and did what was the consensus, to “protect” his charge, the people of the United States.

In doing so, he made the biggest mistake of his presidency and probably his life.

I’m not “blaming” Trump. I would have probably done the same thing. What choice did he have? Once decided, there was/is no turning back.

It is up to “We The People” to decide. Do we still want FREEDOM? Do we still value our human and constitutional rights?

Are we going to stand up to BIG GOVERNMENT?, BIG PHARMACY? BIG SOCIAL MEDIA? BIG MAIN STREAM MEDIA?

Are we just going to be “lambs to the slaughter?” HELL NO!

I WILL NEVER GET THE FAKE VACCINE (JABS). Neither will my wife. If you are afraid of catching COVID (95.5% survival) then STAY HOME!

I WILL NEVER ROUTINELY wear a mask again. In hospitals, Clinics, etc. I will comply (FOR THEM). Any retail or other entities that require masks I will avoid or IGNORE their mask policy. F them.

I may be physically removed or arrested as a result. I DON”T CARE!

Too many Americans have died or lost limbs for FREEDOM and I WILL NOT SURRENDER MINE!

TAKE THAT! You MASKHOLES!

Everyone in my family (many Trump supporters) is vaccinated except our youngest who is 16. She will likely get it by 18 when she wants to go to college (or earlier if she travels overseas next year). I’m hopeful the J and J shot will be approved for teens by then.

” just bash the un-jabbed to assuage their feelings?”

You got it.

I was STUPID, but I’ll FEEL better if you join me in being STUPID!

Misery loves company.

That’s it, Karens that demand obedience from everyone else, obedience that they showed. They are an envious character that do not think for themselves and get angry that they don’t have the backbone not to go against authority. They turn that anger on everyone else.

Fact is, medical science says they’ll all be dead soon. No mRNA test animal survived. Even the inventor of the mRNA vaccine was interviewed and said it does not work and is dangerous in humans.


Travis McGee post today:
Please listen to this Bannon War Room podcast from Saturday, where he interviews Dr. Robert Malone, the inventor of the mRNA technology. You can skip past Naomi Wolfe at the start, and also skip RFK Jr. who has a bad Skype connection, but please listen to what the guy who inveted mRNA has to say about the mandatory jab. Dr. Malone starts at 18 minutes. Please don’t miss this.

Natasha Korecki, who was a star reporter for the Chicago Sun-Times and the Daily Herald before joining Politico, has been promoted to White House correspondent. She covered the campaign of Joe Biden for Politico throughout the 2020 presidential race.

No bias there, nope.
