Republicans refusing to get vaccinated are owning no one but themselves

What used to be the conservative movement in this country is becoming a death cult. The measure of its power is less in ballots cast than in how many people die needlessly in service of this twisted worldview.

This reality was on view over the weekend in Dallas at the Conservative Political Action Conference, where attendees cheered when Alex Berenson, who has made himself a Fox News folk hero for spreading misinformation about covid-19 vaccines, crowed about the fact that fewer Americans were getting their shots than public health officials had hoped.

“It’s horrifying,” Anthony S. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday. “I mean, they are cheering about someone saying that it’s a good thing for people not to try and save their lives. … Everybody starts screaming and clapping. I just don’t get that. I mean, and I don’t think that anybody who is thinking clearly can get that. What is that all about?”

I’ll tell you, even if the good doctor won’t. The cheers are all about “owning” Fauci, President Biden, liberals in general, scientists in particular, mask-wearers, fancy-pants “elites” and everyone else urging people to get vaccinated. The inevitable result will be that we end up mourning people who didn’t need to die. And the worst-case possibility is that covid-19 roars back — along with the restrictions and isolations Americans thought we’d left behind.

1. There are

4. Yeah, I get that. Problem is they could also take out some sane vaccinated people.

Vaccinations aren't 100%. I read in one state 99.2% of the deaths are from the unvaccinated, meaning .8 deaths were from vaccinated folks. Not zero. My son's fiance is immune compromised so the vaccine is only 65% effective for him. I hate the mf'Ing nazis who refuse to get vaccinated because, well whatever stupid thing they are currently stuck on. Wish we could just quarantine them in the same place and let them have it, no hospitals or hospital services for covid to be provided so they don't impact the lives of people who actually have a brain not rotted by right wing poison.
