MAGAts. Deplorables. Trumpsters. Maskholes.
These people dont even believe Covid-19 is real - as they are literally dying of it!
They wont do so little as wear a mask. Why should we expect them to take a vaccine endorsed and promoted by the Biden administration?
What happens when 70 million people become anti vaxxers?

Happiness, peace, and security in the time of pandemic is never having to deal with any Republicans in person. The Republican party is an enormous COVID 19 breeding farm.

The MAGAts think Covid is a hoax anyhow...so why would they take a vaccine?
But look at it like this IMO: One way to make many states a bit more blue...just sayin'!

(100,112 posts)OK fine, you don't have to take the vaccine. But if you choose to go that route, be prepared to be exempt from jobs, from credit applications, from loan applications, from attending major events, travel, buying a car, buying a house, school, and so on.
Yes, these assholes need a wake up call and this is what I think should happen. They are digging their own graves here.

(964 posts)If 50% of the population refuse the vaccine and are vulnerable, and the vaccine is 95% effective, then 5% of the vaccinated individuals are still vulnerable. The Anti-Vaxxers will keep Covid in the population, putting all of his at risk.
It also appears that a repeat COVID vaccine will be needed annually. Immunity wears off. If too many people don't get the immunization, we could be only be delaying infections.
