I’m a Conservative, not a Rube.

I understand Science, and Medicine...
And yes... As a free man, I chose to protect myself, and my loved ones and community by getting vaccinated.

And actually, YES. I do know that being vaccinated for a potentially deadly disease is the smart thing. I actually knew that even before my own brother spent two weeks in ICU with COVID, (and much longer recovering at home after that)

I also understand risk. I could get killed in a traffic accident, but I still choose to drive to work, and other places.

Balancing Risk, and Benefit, and making the logical choice based upon the massively overwhelming facts IS the smart thing. Avoiding vaccination because of a minuscule risk, or because of some schmuck’s brilliant bit chute rant is NOT the smart thing in this case.

I also DO believe that we landed on the moon in 1969. The Earth is a sphere, Bush did NOT carry out the WTC attack on 911, etc.

I don’t know if any one was on the grassy knoll.

So...
Bless Your Heart, too!

I would encourage you to analyze very very carefully why you believe what you believe.

Where did you get the information?

Did anyone providing that information have a vested interest in giving you their version of events?

Is it possible there is another version of events that you may not have considered?

How much effort have you spent exploring other versions of those events?

Sometimes what we “know” to be true is just what we have been taught and have accepted because we did not have the time to make the effort to investigate further.
