    Have to say i like the screenshot of Cucker Tarlson talking, with "no scientific basis" as an accurate label for him.

    Funny except for the fact that both cups had poison.... not covid. Silly. Also why is it that BLM protesters are anti vax? Oh I remember. It isn't about political wings at all. Still nice video. The left usually cant meme.

    That's a 2 hr video to explain things in very good detail. Twitter is 128 characters. Meme is a picture. There is no competition when it comes to misinformation vs good understanding. It takes a few seconds to misinform you. It takes hours to correct that, assuming you are open to learning and willing to listen. AntiVax messages win easily in a general atmosphere of mistrust toward real experts.

    Notable Republicans andrew wiggins, kyrie Irving and nicki Minaj are leading a misinformation campaign that could result in vaccine hesitancy within black republican groups with already low numbers.

    Most end users are consumers, not spreaders.

    There are many reasons for vaccine hesitancy but if we focus on two of the biggest reasons - misinformation and lack of trust in institutions (such as the CDC) and real experts, only a few are mostly responsible for starting and sustaining those trends. Some Republican leaders fall into that group. Many right-wing media fall into that group as well. And yes, some celebrities also fall into that group.

    Here’s what I’m seeing. Trumper pro-plague anti-vax and anti-mask idiots are taking this to a new level and not trusting any medical advice. The guy who refused rabies treatment who died last week. I’ve heard guys I know say ‘I just don’t trust doctors any more’. People holding weekly protests at hospitals, for ****s sake.

    This is getting far out of hand. I mean, it’s straight Darwin Award time but it’s going to cost society to try to save these morans from their own idiocy.

    You have antivax sociopaths like @CVcrew and @Possum trying to cover up for their cowardice by importing sheep dewormer home remedies into the basketball forums - it's out of hand

    This thread is a trap. If I wanted to read up on this libtard crap I’d watch FNN. Tucker gives it to you straight and you still refuse to see it. You catch the one about the “dewormer”? That’s right, Merck is going to rebrand it and sell it to you at $700 a pill. But you still think it’s not about the money. Jumping off the Titanic now… thank us later after we protected you from your cowardice and saved your liberties.
