How the table didn't turn. Nothing's changed. Right wing majority still projecting | I REMEMBER WHEN THE LEFT OPPOSED THE VACCINE... THIS WAS BECAUSE TRUMP WANTED TO ROLL IT OUT FOR PUBLIC USE BEFORE HIS ELECTION - BEFORE THE FDA, CDC OR WHO WOULD HAVE AUTHORIZED IT. WE SAW POLITICS IN PLAY AT THE VACCINE BY THE TRUMP ADMIN; WE WANTED AN APOLITICAL VACCINE. NOW, THE RIGHT WING WHO WAS REALLY EXCITED FOR THIS RELEASE IS NOW AGAINST IT BECAUSE TRUMP GOT VOTED OUT. MIND YOU, THEY'RE SAYING THAT WE POLITICIZED THE VACCINE NOW THAT WE'RE PUSHING IT ONTO PEOPLE. WRONG! WE HAVE ALWAYS TRUSTED THE SCIENCE AND HAVE ALWAYS STOOD BY THE SCIENCE. IT IS YOU WHO STIPULATE WHICH ADMINISTRATION LAUNCHES THE VIRUS AS YOUR REASONING FOR TAKING IT. | image tagged in picard thinking,picard facepalm,startrek,covid,virus,vaccine | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

Or maybe politics has become the muddy water that pushes all science. Isn't that a simpler explanation. I do feel for your grief expressed in meme.

It is still the same vaccine is it not?
If you didn't trust it then because it was rushed up how can you trust it now?
I am not impressed by the CDC, FDA, or WHO authorizing a rushed up vaccine. Nor do I appreciate the media and those same organizations ignoring people who died or is suffering grievously because of reactions to the vaccine. That is not how to build trust.
Also anyone who takes a vaccine or not simply because someone is president is really foolish.

Sure it's the same vaccine. But, the CDC, FDA and the WHO won't authorize a vaccine until adequate trials have been completed to show that it is statistically safe. Taking vaccines without any trial is ... horrendously dangerous. Which, Trump was suggesting he wanted to do, and the Right - Wing cheered him on for it while Left Wing gawked in disbelief at the zealousness for Trumpism. Once the trials were completed, we trusted it.

I find it laughable anyone who cries out crisis over the deaths of vaccine that those same people were the same ones saying "COVID is not serious." When the fatality rate was recorded at 4% of all cases. Whereas of the 187.2 million people who have been vaccinated, only 6,000 have died as of July 19th.

That's .0018% of doses received result in death. You're more likely to get cancer from an x-ray (I looked it up.) So please, spare the fake outrage.

True, with the caveat that it was not necessarily the doses that caused the death. That's just all the people who died in the period of time they were tracked after their doses. Remembering that the elderly were one of the first groups to get the vaccine . . . and that they are at the greatest risk of death from a number of causes.

Actually that number is those who died as a result of getting the vaccine, those who got the vaccine and had unrelated deaths is not calculated into this number.

Getting any vaccine is risky for the elderly as you're injecting yourself with an inert virus. The more severe the virus is, the more severe the vaccine will be to the patient.

Vaers reports about 6000 people who died AFTER getting their shot, but doesn't break down causes of death.

That's a right guaranteed by the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America.

Perhaps you should read it sometime instead of burning it.

We can't cure stupid, but COVID can.

Cease your incendiary, targeted rhetoric. It's not tolerated here.

That said, it is the freedom of any individual to follow their deity over science, regardless of how striking the evidence is to favor science. Just don't be surprised if people drop you like a lepper.
