I *think* the intent of this article is to partially blame the left for what some right-libertarians think is anti-scientific opposition to the shots.

I left off the barf alert, because I can see a few FReepers agreeing with the sentiments of the writers, so I left it up to the reader.

It's hard to say just what is the writers' beef. Is it that they think opposition to the shots is whackadoodle, or ALL opposition to a shot of any sort is nuts? Do they think by "exposing" the leftist elements of antivaxx movement that rightists will queue up for the shots granted EUA by this FDA?

They sure seem concerned...

The Anti-vaccination Movement: A Regression in Modern Medicine
Published online 2018 Jul 3.

“”Nowhere is the politicization of science more evident than in the pernicious absurdity of the anti-vaccination movement, which has received fresh impetus during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.””

.

The author is linking a document from 2018 to the current opposition of the CV19 genetic injection.

That document was referring to something that existed long before CV.

The two oppositions are totally different.

The authors are saying that the godfather's of the opposition to the COVID19 shots are leftists.

In the process, I think they're trying to plant a poison pill into the anti-shot rightists.

What they don't realize, is most opponents to these shots could give a rip about their godfathers. Heck, they may even find some common ground with fellow citizens with who they used to consider whack jobs..and finding common ground with people we are supposed to hate is a scary idea to Our Overlords.

A similar situation occurred with anti-homeschooling people....they tried to get parents thrust into homeschooling in 2020 to realize that those religious nutcase HSers aren't the same as them. In the process, these parents found out the HSers weren't nutty and, actually, they have a point.

My objection to the clot shot is... well, just that... a lot of dead people and serious side effects... like death (that one is a doozy).

Jon Entine and Patrick Whittle are ahoes. But I will forget them both in less than an hour.

"Why would I need a vaccine for something with a 99 percent survival rate that does not have any distinguishable features?” said Zubiate. (a registered nurse)

There is my original reason for being disinterested in being vaccinated. Unless I had reason to think I had a high risk factor for serious illness or death in connection to SARS-CoV-2 taking a vaccine for it would be an hysterical overreaction.

But since that initial decision was made the government and media have heaped on far more important questions of trust and principle. Because what I see there is deceit, bad faith and malevolence in connection to the vaccines which outweighs any personal health concerns and sets my mind in adamantine opposition to taking it.

With those two implacable reasons to refrain from vaccinating I don't need to struggle with the debates over safety issues. "Safe as spring water" would be a wholly inadequate argument to overcome my objections to taking them.

Nice reply, thanks. It’s still a pantload. The left has never been about “the science” period.

It boils down to unquestioning obedience to government overlords. Democrats, liberal, marxists, etc obey their government. Without question, they will obey. They demand everyone else obey as well. “The right” conservatives don’t.

To be pro Covid Vac is to be rabidly anti Science.

It time for these rabid Leftist to be called out for their habitual lying. They are not intellectuals. They are not “pro Science”

As they did in this article, they are pro wrapping their political dogmas in a false claim of being “science” and then screaming hysteric bile at anyone who challenges their dogmas

It is totally anti Science to ignore all contrary data to cling to your political based dogmas.

We have relatives who are true anti-vaxxers—they have refused all vaccinations for their kids for many years.

The interesting part is that they are apolitical—my guess is they are not even registered voters.

They are not religious at all—don’t attend church.

We have not questioned them closely about “why” they have made that choice—that is their business.

But—it is easy to try to fit people into “boxes”—but some folks are just independent thinkers who want to it “their way”.

You can’t reject something that is never offered. Actual vaccines, which we ALL had as children, didn’t require distancing, masks or boosters AND you didn’t get what the vaccine was for. So no, these are NOT vaccines. But do as I say and not as I do is the Democrat mantra, and Biden just proved it again. I read an article over at CNSnews proving Joe wants America overrun, “Over $455K in Taxpayer Funds to Build a Fence Around Biden’s Beach House”, so give that a look. So our Congress approved and already funded wall sections for the border are laying on the ground in Texas but the Biden clan compound is now safe. And remember leftists can prove they HAVE had these mystery shots, even the one we saw ‘injected’ (likely with saline).

It contains 42 TRILLION spike proteins per dose, of which just 25% stay in your arm and the rest go throughout your body even into your brain. The damage those do to your capillaries, veins and arteries can never EVER be undone.

Notice under Trump we were told to question EVERYTHING. Xiden comes in and we are told we are terrorists for questioning anything.

“rational thought and the fearless analysis of objective reality”—
That’s a good one. When we find actual data which needs serious discussion or further study we’re told to stand down and just get yet another shot.

Every ad for a prescription drug and even for many nutritional supplements carries a long list of warnings about side effects and other dangers.

The ads advocating the vax just say “it’s tested and it’s safe”.
