Vaccines shouldn't be political. What is wrong with some Republicans?

These idiots are not only harming themselves and their children, they're harming and sometimes killing others who are medically prevented from receiving vaccinations. These scumbags are literally spreading disease.

Every time I see some of my relatives, I make sure I bring up "oh, by the way shouldn't I be dead now? You made a pretty big fuss about how everyone who was vaccinated [would] be dead within a year"

It's always met with eye rolls and silence.

That number is... eerily close to the percentage population estimated to be hardcore unshakeable Trumpers.

My dad contracted polio as a teen a year before the vaccine came out in our home country. Fuck people who think vaccines are dangerous. Ask my dad how well his legs work.

31% of Republicans so stupid their genes should be prevented from being passed down

I suppose it's good news that this belief hurts them the most, but it's also a public health problem.

I sincerely hope that 31% of Republicans contract Polio. Then maybe they'll shut the fuck up

Wait until tetanus starts being a real issue again. It's actually pretty scary shit. In advanced stages it can make your muscles contract and spasm so hard your bones can fracture.

This is gonna be the real maga legacy. A generation of kids that have to deal with the consequences of horrific, preventable, disease

Recently at a doctors visit, this came up. We were discussing the use of AI to design vaccines. Doctor said that it didn't make any difference because people like his staff nurses wouldn't take a vaccine in any case. I was shocked. So, he opened the door and asked his nurses. Sure enough, not one nof them would take a new vaccine. I still can't believe it.

There's this constant 30-35% of America. Get better lower third god damn.

In comparison, 63 percent of Democrats and Democratic leaners said it was "extremely important" this year, down slightly from 67 percent in 2019.

Well, that's disappointing. As someone who has spend many years in Europe, it's no wonder the rest of the developed world sees the US as dumb as a bag of rocks. It's just an unreal circus looking from the outside.

I don't find that particularly surprising considering that this demographic votes Republican.

The good news is that number will go down over time.

Great and terrible example of the power that the right wing media bubble has on people and the damage it can cause. This isn't a political issue or a matter of opinion. This is objective and scientific, with extensive real world evidence of vaccines eradicating contagious diseases.

Vaccines are perhaps the single greatest public health breakthrough next to basic sanitation. People have been convinced of an objective, scientific falsehood that puts their own children and the public at large at risk of disease and death. This is brainwashing, full stop.

Antivaxxers existed before COVID, but they were the fringe. It's now a mainstream Republican belief manufactured out of thin air because COVID was bad for Trump politically and any improvement in the pandemic post-election was good for Biden. The stark partisan split proves it.

Yes, a sore arm and a mild fever are clearly worse than a life spent in an iron lung due to polio.

They are dumbasses. Weird, dumbasses.

31% of Republicans also say, "Hunter Biden made the moon trans and now we should nuke the sun as a threat to the moon!"

Fucking.weirdos.

31 percent of republicans are a danger to themselves, their families, and others...

scratch that.

better make it '100 percent'.

Oh, sorry. Not 31%. That's actually their IQ.

Everyone likes to wag the finger when we call these people morons. What else are we supposed to call them?

Always hearing about ~30 of GOP, followed by the dumbest shit.

"About 15% of registered voters are stupid" isn't exactly news.
