Brad Paisley says it's 'patriotic' to get the coronavirus vaccine, blames 'Hollywood elite' for hesitancy
Fox via MSN ^ | June 20, 2021 | Tyler McArthy

...The country singer appeared on MSNBC’s "Deadline" alongside Rev. Al Sharpton to discuss vaccine hesitancy and his role as a country singer to address an audience that is seemingly exhibiting hesitancy.

The "Whiskey Lullaby" singer noted that he believes Americans in smaller communities will step up and get the vaccine once they understand how vital it is to protecting their friends, family and neighbors.

"I feel like knowing my people, where I come from, I’m from West Virginia," he told the outlet. "A small town of 1200 people, this is the kind of community where immediately if a house is on fire, before the fire department can get there, there are a lot of people with buckets trying to put the fire out already. They band together, they do what it takes to help their neighbor. So all my fans… They are seeing disinformation everywhere, and they are being told that the water doesn’t put the fire out. So it is a really strange thing to try to be louder than that disinformation."

...

"It is an interesting thing when you look at what happens and how this became what it is. I think back to the original anti-vaccine movement, which sort of started, I think, I could be wrong, but I see it as almost starting with the Hollywood elite that didn’t want their kids vaccinated because of a bunked report," he explained. "I think that there is a level of reaching these folks that you have to say look, the way to be the most productive citizen, the way to be the person that helps, is to get this. The patriotic thing is when you raise your arm and say ‘America, get a shot in it. That is the way that you are the most patriotic.’"

They must be short on dyed saline solution to convince the rest of us to take an untested vaccine.

Brad is an idiotic commie prick.

I wonder how much he was paid to say this.

So Brad Paisley getting paid to talk to Al Sharpton about vaccines is going to get people like me off the fence? In what world do producers live in when they believe that?

The Hollywood elite? Really?

I thought they were members in good standing of the Derp State. The very faction responsible for the covid op.

Beam me up. Scotty.

From the article: "The country singer appeared on MSNBC’s "Deadline" alongside Rev. Al Sharpton to discuss vaccine hesitancy and his role as a country singer ..."

Says it all. Appearing alongside a tax-evading grifter on a propaganda media show to tell his neighbors and others in rural communities that they're too stupid to understand that they need to take experimental treatments he's calling a "vaccine".

If he’s saying this on MSNBC then he’s obviously not trying to get his message across to anyone with a brain.

Root Causes of Appalachia’s Deaths of Despair

Brad Who Can Sing said “I feel like knowing my people, where I come from...”

Brad ‘feels’ that he knows ‘his people’.

Um, no, he doesn’t. He knows other rich and famous (for a natural, born-in skill) bubble dwellers.

I think I read somewhere that appeals to patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel. Whether or not true, conflating the Covid vaccine hesitant with militant antivaxxers is like conflating climate skeptics with flat earthers. Strawman fallacy, I believe.

“A small town of 1200 people, this is the kind of community where immediately if a house is on fire, before the fire department can get there, there are a lot of people with buckets trying to put the fire out already.”

This story is a total fabrication.
- Where would a supply of buckets for a bucket brigade suddenly appear from?
- Where is the source of water.

The Hollywood “elite.” What a joke. You mean like Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, Angelina Jolie, Ben Affleck and all the other perverts, druggies, alcoholics, casting couch hos (male and female) and degenerates who think they hold the moral high ground over the rest of us?

Takeaway: Paisley claims his home folks are idiots that can’t discern that water puts fires out.
