Carlson compares vaccine passport to segregation

[Thebestoftherest]

I know those chuckles would drop dead within a week of dealing with real segregation.

Just an apparent attempt at fearmongering. I can understand skepticism, but at the same time, where do you let it end? Because you could be skeptical about almost anything. I got my shots, mostly for my family, to prove it was safe. Worth it. My little sisters are next up for theirs. Real men cast aside their doubts and shoulder the burden for their family.

One thing I find rather interesting is the demands to give black people from disenfranchised communities priority in the vaccine shots. Sounds noble, right? To give a leg up to the most vulnerable? Except... perhaps they're wanting to use them as guinea pigs? Not just my lily-white a** speculating, this is what a few of my POC coworkers have wondered. Never stop trying to question the motives of our cultural elites.

You never met a fence post you didn't want to stick up your ass, did you?

Congrats on dragging in just enough derailing side material so you can brag about your Both Sides position.

There isn't a both sides position. He just acts like that. In the end, we all know that he is on one side entirely.

Maybe we should just ignore his posts? Maybe he'll stop if he realizes no one is listening? Eh, wishful thinking...

Ah yes, the bed the US made itself and has to constantly lie in. And there's more shit like that to be found. Black communities being skeptic about medication isn't entirely unfounded, even though probably most individuals today can't pinpoint the reason for their distrust and just aquired it by cultural osmosis, for lack of a better word.

You know what the saddest thing about the charmingly named ''Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male'' was? Is that the experiment started in 1932. By 1947 we had a perfectly good treatment for syphilis in the form of penicillin... and they weren't fucking told for another thirty years. They were just left to slowly die an agonising death. It took until 1997 for the US government to apologise.

Land of the Free my arse.

Oh yeah, no argument here. Yet somehow the people who complain most about vaccine dangers are those who have the least historical reason to worry about. Interchangeable blonde Fox News anchors are not the group traditionally used for medical experiments.

As for the whole Freedom thing, well, let's say those who make the most noise have the least to brag about.

Pretty much.

I guarantee you though if Trump wore a mask and told people (aka his followers) to wear one too, they would have. And we would have far less people bitching about 'muh freedoms'.

Considering the fact that non-Leftists are hesitant about the vaccine, forcing those who haven't been vaxxed yet to wear a mask is essentially forcing the party in power's opposition to wear signifiers.

And they're anti-Israel.

And they're anti-gun.

And for a controlled economy...

And they're Socialists. Huh. How are you guys not just neo-Nazis again? Because you lie to yourselves?

Or they are trying to stop a plague, and Republicans are being big babies.
