Replying to @therecount
Justice Thomas, who has expressed skepticism about the fed government's vax-or-test mandate, asks about "how efficacious the vaccine is."

He says he's heard "younger workers ... who are unvaccinated are actually safer than the older workers who are vaccinated."


Watch on Twitter

@therecount
Amid SCOTUS arguments on vax-or-test mandate, Justice Thomas doubles down on questioning vaccine efficacy:

The Recount
@therecount
Justice Thomas: "Is a vaccine the only way to treat COVID?"

Solicitor General Prelogar: "It is certainly the single most effective way."

Along with masks and social distancing. Notice that his "research" simply was that he "heard" something.

BTW, great screen name and I loved the movie.

And yes, exactly, It's mind-blowing how a large chunk of our population, almost overnight developed some kind of "convenient vaccine amnesia".

I remember the Professor and Mr. Fuji from back in the 70s when they were managed by the Grand Wizard, another legend from back in the day. Tanaka and Fuji played a pair of sneaky, nefarious heels to the hilt and always had their ceremonial salt ready to throw at opponents when needed.

Sounded crazy, but crazy like a RW fox. Now he has set the standard for this SC rulings to come - if a law is over 50 years old they can ignore.

I see SCOTUS has moved on from their deep expertise in gynecology to now provide us their wisdom on infectious diseases and public health.

is on Facebook and types "Amen" to posts that say "Type the word 'Amen' if you have faith that a miracle will happen to you in one minute."

Some anti-vaxxers I know have typed "Amen" to the post. No surprises there.
