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
Daily Mail ^ | July 26, 2021 | Piers Morgan

Posted on 07/26/2021 10:58:13 AM PDT by rickmichaels

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.

I think that's complete bunk, both the theory and the claim that 20% of Americans believe it. These vaccines are hotly debated here, and I don't know if ANYONE here subscribes to that theory. What some DO believe is that the current push for mandatory, universal vaccination might be a test-run for some LATER attempt to mandate some sort of implant.

The only ones destroying everyone’s freedom are the power hungry democrats who are using a cold virus to lockdown the entire country and steal our freedoms.

The only solution, let’s call it The Final Solution, is to put the unvaxxed in camps. They are far too dangerous. Society must proceed to eradicate der ewige unvaxxen.

He doesn’t know that and can’t prove it.

There is simply no way of knowing how sock he would have gotten if he were unvaxxed.

You have to get the vaccine to protect me against the virus that I have been vaccinated against?

You bet. That makes as much sense as having an exchange with the big guy.

It is an individual decision. It is NOT a government decision. You don’t take the shot, you take a chance, you take the shot, you take a chance. Welcome to real life. You choose YOUR OWN fate! (It used to be popularly called FREEDOM!)

Piers Morgan is living proof that my ancestors didn’t kill enough Brits in our two wars against them.

We should have never sacrificed a single American to defend their left whining left wing butts against the Germans in WWI & WWII.

So he felt “as sick as I’ve felt from any illness”, but he then says the vaccine worked, to keep him from being seriously ill. OK. Sure.

It would appear that all that Piers Morgan has is a list of names to call people.

No credibility.

I’ve noticed a pattern:

Vaccine promoters: stick the shot up your butts.

The “I didn’t die from a virus that has a 98.5% survivability rate so the placebo vax must work” talk is getting really old.

The Communist have already stated, "Life must be hard for the unvaccinated".

That's pretty damn clear.

My opinion is that IF they had a medicine which granted immunity and really stopped people from getting COVID, they could call it a “vaccine”. But they don’t have that.

Maybe they needed a new term. Some term for a medicine which didn’t prevent the disease but which minimized the symptoms. I don’t know of a name for such a medicine. But that seems to be what they have.

Maybe better terminology would help people believe what they were being told.

It’s a placebo with possible side effects.
