This guy is an armchair QB, not a serious scientist or engineer. I don't see him in the arena designing spacecraft, launch vehicles, or payload.

If you need further proof what he thinks of conservatives, he recently shared this one on Twitter/X:

The stupid moon landing hoax comments are in full force today on YouTube. Why exactly are the MAGA people the ones who are convinced the US faked the greatest achievement of the US space program?

His politics are ignorant, that’s all. He’s put gratuitous abuse in his YT vids as well, to the point that I ignored his ass for long periods of time.

He probably came to that conclusion after reading a FR APOD thread which usually turns into humorless jokes and potty talk...

You'll find a bunch of usernames on this forum promoting the belief that the Apollo program was fake.

I don’t believe the premise.

More lefties, on balance, believe the whack job stuff. That just comes with the territory. Anti-vaccination has also been largely a left wing hippie “natural remedy” sort of affair.

And in some ways wasn’t a bad bet. If you’re living within a large population of vaccinated and “herd immunized” population, and borders are secure and all those things, it is a reasonable, if somewhat selfish position to take.

There isn’t a lot of outright hostility to vaccinations generally by any thinking person, albeit concern as any parent would. Complications are “rare” but that isn’t much consolation.

No, what’s happening here is classic leftist bullshit. Applying the general to the specific and the specific to the general.

They conflate legitimate concern to a single, specific inoculation - in this case an experimental emergency use authorized shot, and then falsely claim that declining this one automatically means a knuckle dragging troglodyte who wears onions on his belt and plants by the signs.

Total propaganda. “Non compliance” was large, and without regard to politics, truth be told. This is an example of “nudging” writ large.
