America's anti-vaxxer lunatics are snatching covid defeat from the jaws of vaccinated victory with their conspiracy-theory garbage and must be stopped from destroying everybody's freedom

America has hit a roadblock in the coronavirus pandemic.

A hard, very dangerous and completely unnecessary roadblock.

Put bluntly, a lot of deluded, ill-informed, shamefully scare-mongered, or simply complacent Americans have got it into their heads that either the covid vaccines are somehow more dangerous than covid itself, or the virus isn't serious enough to warrant protection from it.

Some of these sceptics believe the insane conspiracy-theory that the US Government is using vaccines to plant microchips in their heads to control their minds. (Don't laugh: a recent Economist/YouGov poll revealed that 20% of Americans really do suspect this.)

Many more, tens of millions of people across the United States, are hesitant to get jabbed for all manner of other reasons ranging from doubts about the vaccine's efficacy, to a fear they impair fertility, damage pregnancy, alter DNA, magnetize you, or even actively help transmit the virus.

These unsubstantiated theories have been fuelled by anti-vaxxer whack-jobs online, and especially on social media.

And they have sadly begun to have a very real and deadly influence, as I can personally attest.

I've just had covid, the Delta variant, despite being fully vaccinated with the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine.

It was an unpleasant experience and I felt quite sick, as sick as I've felt from any illness, but I never came close to being hospitalized or dying.

So, the vaccine worked: it stopped me getting seriously ill.

But when I revealed this on Twitter and Instagram, and urged people to get jabbed, I was promptly bombarded with an astonishing amount of utterly insane and incredibly vitriolic responses from the anti-vaxxer brigade – many of them in America.

He seems to be lacking in the Cause and Effect Department.

It’s him like saying I Voted for Xiden and I got the Kung Flu which felt bad, but I know for a fact that I would have been Hospitalized if I Voted for Trump.

⚡👍Now that’s a bet I’d make too. Natural immunity - those people don’t need no stinkin’ JAB.

And the information warfare wing of the democrat party lumbers on, unabated, with their endless fear mongering, public shaming and totalitarian actions.
