"Backlash" against door to door vaccination effort

I felt the same way. Trump began sidelining Birx and Fauci, and was taking advice from a radiologist. I simply didn’t trust the people who had his ear. Once respected scientists were listened to again, and they advocated for vaccination,I felt better about it.

we ALL know why he was pushing for that vaccine when he did.   NOT because he cared about the American people (and we KNOW this because of what he told Bob Woodward, and WHEN he told him)... but because he wanted ANY vaccine out there before the 2020 Presidential election, to help him with his re-election.  THAT is the ONLY reason.

Not concern, not safety of the citizens, not ANYTHING like that.  If he had cared about the American people, he would have done whatEVER needed to be done to make sure hundreds of thousands of them would NOT have died, and not done what he did- which was nothing.  (wait- he did do a few things:  he MUCKED UP the government's pandemic response, LIED to us, told people to ingest bleach, pushed hydroxychloroquine which wasn't approved to treat COVID, made states fight with each other and pay high $$$ for needed supplies, didn't let American citizens back into the country because he didn't want increased #s of sick people making him look bad, and at the very beginning, he threw away the Pandemic Playbook... and a whole host of other things.)

Well put!

The people that post this insanity on their doors, are the quacks Dan Crenshaw is
hoping to appeal to. Seems about right.

Good luck collecting your money, plonkers. 😵‍💫🤡

The ‘Vaccine Status” capitalized is a fine example of Trumpy Random Capitalization for Emphasis. 🥴

It doesn't matter that the media isn't the president. They have as much influence over the public, if not more.
No he did not. 

It does matter.  Regardless of who holds the office, the president is held to a higher standard.  Everyone in our country and around the world is listening.  Words matter.  If you object to the media briefly last spring referring to covid as the China Virus, where is your objection to the lies told on Fox News, OAN and NewsMax? Currently, and alarmingly, they’re telling lies about the election and the Jan 6 insurrection.  

I'm a HS teacher.  The school where I teach was the worldwide epicenter for covid last summer for about 2 months straight.  Literally the epicenter - higher number of cases in that zip code than anywhere else in the world.  My students all know someone who had covid.  Many of them know someone who died of it.  My husband teaches elementary in the same area.  On the day we came back from winter break (still teaching online) he got an email from the principal that two of his students had lost parents to covid over the break and would be gone for a few days. 


When the vaccine first became available for ages 15+, I had a huge number of students sign up for vaccines.  I had students miss class because they were getting the shot.  The students who were in person (I didn't have a lot - about 15 total over the course of the day) - every single one of them went to get the shot as soon as possible.

The kids don't need to be told it's important.  They know.  But we have some really stupid adults out there who are willing to gamble everything on this.  I feel so bad for the ones who want to get vaxxed but their parents are anti.  

I think I need this for my door when the religious nutters come knocking.

And now you have the Tennessee GOP joining in the vaccine shenanigans. 😖😒 This is what dept of health exist for - public health and prevention - among other things.

Screw this party.

Their hypocrisy knows no limits.

This is so incredibly sad. I can not believe that a Registered Nurse would make these kinds of statements. She should have had at least two full years of biology, microbiology, and various other science classes to obtain her degree. 

I teach my non-science major Biology 100 students that your DNA with all of your genetic information is in the NUCLEUS of your cells, protected by a selective nuclear membrane. Kind of like locking your valuable cash inside a bank vault. An mRNA molecule (like that in the new mRNA vaccines) does it's work making proteins in the CYTOPLASM of your cells...the fluid stuff outside of the nucleus. An mRNA molecule never enters your cell's nucleus. It can not manipulate or change your DNA because it never enters the nucleus of your cells. It's basic high school biology. 

It's okay revirdsuba99! Just remember that part about mRNA can't ever get to your DNA .

Killing kids, but they got the 'libs'!

Listen to the video of him talking about disinfection & injection.  Bleach is a disinfectant.  It is a common disinfectant.  

No, no one in there right mind would suggest injectionIng someone with a “disinfectant”.  

But trump is an incredibly stupid man and that big brain of his couldn’t come up with a more suitable term for whatever the hell he was talking about so he used “disinfectant”.  So once again the President of the United States made himself look like clueless idiot that people ridiculed.  In the process of ridiculing him, some simply gave a specific name to the disinfectant.  Bleach.

 But your missing a very important point here.  It’s not that he said disinfectant instead of bleach.  If trump would have kept his mouth shut and not talked about stuff he doesn’t understand there would have been no discussion as to whether he said “disinfectant “ or “bleach” or any discussion about the hair brain comment he made in the first place.  And that would have been a good thing all away around if had just kept his mouth shut.

The job of the media is to report the news. They do this by repeating (or reporting) what trump said and by showing videos of him saying it.

Just exactly how is that “influencing” people?  The media, with the exception of Fox News maybe, didn’t come out and say “yeah trump’s right, we should call the virus “China Virus” or ”Kung flu”.  They simply reported what he said and backed it up with video of him saying it.   So just exactly how is that “influencing “.

trump, as President of the United States, was the originator of the term “China Virus” as such he is responsible for the fallout from using that term.  Not the press for simply reporting it.  As such he is solely responsible for the attacks on members of the Asian Community.  

They did more than just report that he said it. THEY said it all on their own in contexts that had absolutely nothing to do with Trump saying it.
