Covid-19 Vaccine Skeptics Explain Why They Don't Want The Shot

[NurseJackie]

Convincing skeptics to get the vaccine is easier said than done, especially in rural areas that are heavily Republican. Pineville, Mo., has the lowest vaccination rate in all of the state. NBC News’ Vaughn Hillyard reports from the county where he spoke to residents hesitant to get the Covid-19 shot.

Except for the fact that they are allowing themselves and their communities to become breeding grounds for Covid mutations and variants... I'm perfectly fine with just letting these "heavily Republican" areas just Darwinize themselves into oblivion.

1. The 30 somethings in my office are all coming down with it.

Spreading it to spouses and young children. The ones that wouldn't wear masks around the office, felt they were immune, one week away from their turn to get vaccinated. Now you know why I moved my office home.

2. Ugh! Be safe... or as safe as you can be.

3. Will they only be convinced when ppl they know die??!! Idiots

[AZ8theist]

15. Nope.

Even the ones dying of Covid were yelling at their doctors to "do something" since they thought covid was a hoax.

4. A note to the first man who spoke to the reporter:

You are most definitely the "dumb guy," sir!

8. Just from looking at him, I'd guess he has significant co-morbidity factors. Dumbness is one of them

19. LOL Dumbness as a Co-Morbidity factor. ROFL

5. There is a nasty dynamic between the two parties

If one party expresses concerns about a particular risk, the other is sure to downplay it as a distraction to what the REAL threats are.

I'm not suggesting the behaviors are equivalent.

Democrats raise concerns about climate change, Republicans downplay that and shift the focus to protecting the economy.

Democrats raise concerns about civil rights, Republicans downplay that and shift the focus to government spending.

Democrats raise concerns about the pandemic, Republicans downplay that and shift the focus to immigration.

So here we are, Republicans see the pandemic as a "Democratic issue" and instinctively brush it off. Of course, it should not a partisan issue and this is illogical, self-defeating behavior. Spock would not approve.

Republicans know they need to articulate more convincing reasons to obstruct, so they manufacture these other nonsensical justifications like in the video. Those will improve over time as the premade talking points are developed and disseminated.

9. Nice "chin diaper" on that clown...

I didn't watch the video since I have no patience for Qanonsense MORONS.

[ancianita]

10. Hmm. I don't accept the weird presentation of the "skeptic" narrative told here.

To be a skeptic, they have to be well informed. This doesn't show that.

[NurseJackie]

11. Good catch. You make a valid point.

I'll remember that.

[AZ8theist]

12. Nice "chin diaper" on that clown...

I didn't watch the video since I have no patience for Qanonsense MORONS.

[NurseJackie]

13. I hadn't heard that term used before! Perfect!!

[AZ8theist]

14. Oh, there's plenty of chin diapers here in AZ...

worn by "maskholes"....

[NurseJackie]

16. That one I'm familiar with.

Both are perfect descriptive nicknames!

[paleotn]

17. No "explanation" required...

They're fucking dopes. Because of these morons, Covid will remain endemic for the rest of our lifetimes, so let Darwin deal with these shit stains.
