Ain't that the truth.
I think it goes to show that some of the loudest C-19 deniers were not just against an uNtEsTeD eXpErImEnTaL vAcCiNe, but against proven medical science in general.

But but but genes! And alteration!
I was taken aback by how many people went with the genome-manipulation nonsense. It’s been a mainstay of antivax voices for some time now.

It's gone beyond stupid and entered into crazy.
It is reasonable for somebody to have reservations about a vaccine. The technology is counter-intuitive at the superficial level.
The crazy part is to reject the scientific explanation by replacing it with a completely unscientific explanation that sounds technical but is utterly false. Also the people telling that story have no technical background to lend credence to that story.

It’s what is so attractive about conspiracy ideations (the word “theory” is completely inapt here and lends the just-so stories a false dignity).
To believe one is “in on” a suppressed alternative to the real but boring narrative yields a similar neurochemical payout as holding a $50 lottery ticket. It’s an addiction, with all the difficulties of waking away from it as, say, tobacco.

Rogan should leave "the juice" alone,the guy is resembling a blown up bowling ball,the guy is thicker than a Wendy's Frosty.
Have a dear friend from elementary school day's who comes by weekly for my harvested bounty and he's a vaccine denier,I don't argue other than "dude I 've gotten whacked 6 times bro.,and I'm good. I passed 2 people in the supermarket once and the guy was saying his brother was an embalmer and when conducting this practice told him that peoples blood was "threaded",and connecting that to the covid vaccines. I just rolled my eyes to that knowing they are the exception to the rule,I'm in a pretty heavily vaxxed Blue state.
Yesterday's NY Times has a article about a German dude who supposedly has received 217 Covid shots of 6 or so varieties nonetheless,he was initially charged by the German govt.and doctors wanted to study this guy,as charges were dropped he agreed to be ex. by the doctors.No ill effects have been reported to date.Hows that for the anti-vax crowd?
