Scapegoating the Unvaxxed
American Thinker ^ | 27 Aug, 2021 | Sally Zelikovsky

Posted on 08/27/2021 3:42:04 AM PDT by MtnClimber

In his National Review articles, Kevin D. Williamson has a long history denigrating conservatives—especially Trump supporters -- and he doesn’t disappoint with “Get Stuck, Dummy.” The title speaks for itself but his true feelings surface a few paragraphs in when he demands “Get vaccinated, you f***ing dopes.”

It’s not the F word that popped my cork as much as calling people who delay vaccination “dummies and dopes.” He joins a growing chorus in the Democrat-Media Complex who share those sentiments.

The article is an exercise in futility, failing to make a fact-based argument to support his thesis that unvaccinated conservatives, who think they are patriots but are really hypocrites, put the general population at risk. While he doesn’t believe in vaccine mandates “enforced at the points of federal bayonets” he wholeheartedly embraces “making life inconvenient and restricted for [conservatives who haven’t been vaxxed] who, out of misplaced political outrage and civic immaturity, refuse to do their part in what should be a reasonably straightforward national effort.” Why, even kindergartners and refugees do it.

Mandated public school vaccines are substantively different from COVID mandates: they target children, not the entire population; diseases with a higher kill and maim rate; and the specific activity of attending school versus everything we do to live and function.

Refugees must meet certain vaccine requirements because they often arrive from parts unknown with diseases rarely seen in America that can spread like wildfire. It is a condition for entry; not imposed on the broader population.

Wrong and highly misleading but I wouldn’t expect anything less from folks trying to cheer on a virus.

You assume those who don’t get the shot have no reason when in fact they certainly have plenty of reasons to decline the shot.

You sound like one who would embrace Government control over anything you think satisfies how you determine what is best for the “collective”.....which flies in the face of our freedoms and individuality to determine our own life and responsibility for whatever we choose.

This guy sounds racist.
We all know that a lot of POC haven’t got the shot.
As well as the millions of illegals moving around the country side.
I haven’t heard if they are giving the Taliban refugees the shot?

What an insane remark, Fool! Nobody is cheering on the virus or any such thing. You appear to have difficulty understanding people are making medical health decisions based on their own assessments of their health, risks etc......

You should be ashamed with such a statement.

That’s no way to talk about our loving government officials and the pharmaudical industry who stand to profit handsomely from all this.

I disagree. The highly misleading information being placed on this board about the vaccines, the disease itself and other unscientific cures just to convince others (and themselves) not to take the vaccine and downplay this virus, frankly, is cheering on the virus. There is no way around it.

There’s equally amounts of information by those who are trying to get people to take the shot....so you’re argument doesn’t hold water. Both sides claim to produce evidence. Which I have no problem with information from either side......adults can read and learn and then decide for themselves what is the best route they need to take.

Again nobody is cheering on the virus.....people want answers that frankly all the science and data still shows ...they don’t know the end game regarding the virus nor the shots.....it’s as fluid as anything gets and there’s nothing wrong with people waiting ....or declining the shots.

That’s not what is going on, and you know it. People, especially on this discussion board, are providing highly misleading and false information on the vaccines and the virus.

The problem I see with mRNA in particular is it causes the body to create spike proteins which the immune system then is supposed to attack. However, is this for a finite period of time or does the body just keep on making them and fighting them off, which would imply the immune system never stops or pauses? I’m no doctor or microbiologist but I have to wonder if that is a good thing? The Novavax is a finite amount of spiked proteins and once the body designs antibodies, there is internal learned knowledge to create more, if needed. Seems the better way to go. So I hope that in the coming months the Novavax will arrive and I can then be classified as one of the no longer unwashed heathens. ;)

These are discussion and debate threads.....what do you expect?

Of course people are going to post information and opinions from various sources of information....but you fail to give people any credit for determining for themselves what might be misleading and not. You don’t know their health and you certainly don’t know why they choose to determine their own health needs.

Truth is discovered by allowing open debate and information from many sources....without it right decisions cannot be made.

Yes it’s definitely happening

Even if it’s not realized by some who are doing it

And it’s world-wide

There were many falsehoods and misrepresentation in this opinion piece, but this one is way off of the mark. Legal immigrants must get vaccinated. Illegals? They just barge in and disappear.

Another is, children up to age 20 have a larger chance of harm and death from the mRNA treatments than catching Covid. Not only that, but they are missing out on the chance to catch and defeat the virus, and gain lifetime immunity.
