Will they even take the vaccine?

MAGAts. Deplorables. Trumpsters. Maskholes.

These people don’t even believe Covid-19 is real - as they are literally dying of it!

They won’t 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 vaxxer’s?

2. I don't really care if they die. They're preventing our survival as a species.

I'm not going to convince anyone to breathe, eat, or anything else they need to do to live. I'm raising my kid, not all these willfully ignorant cultists.

due to their higher statistical risk factor, and then just watch them scream, "Unfair!" and try to shove their way to the front of the line.

Their recalcitrance will only affect them at that point. Let's see if they still want to cling to their stupid ideas, just to own the libs.

can stay away from Republicans, using strategic shopping, timing, and planning.

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.

...leaves a boatload for those who will and do depend on Biden to do the right thing. If the Biden Admin says it's OK, I am all in.

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'!

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.

13. Just because we take it doesn't mean we won't get Covid too.

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.

The best planned, most perfectly executed mass program of vaccination for Covid won't mean jack if a third of the population refuses to take it because "Hoax!!" "Muh freedumb!!"
