Conservatives have an anti-science streak a mile wide.

not most of them silly.

maybe 1 % of them, probably less , as most oldies will have been vaxxed.

but as aquascoot always says

"you cant fight city hall" so refusing the vax is going to make you an outcast

so get the vax, get the booster and get on with your awesome life

as zuby would say

15/ 'The Science' has evolved into a secular pseudo-religion for millions of people in the West. This religion has little to do with science itself.

Bring it on, I say.

I've had another 3 monthly Lucrin injection (to keep testosterone at an almost zero level after my prostate cancer radiation treatment late last year) AND my second AstraZeneca Covid vaccination both within 20 minutes of each other today and I feel fine.

I'll have as many booster shots for Covid in the future as necessary, so will my 91 year old aunt. Cool

https://www.forbes.com/sites/stevensalzberg/2021/07/19/de-platform-the-disinform...

from your link:

Anti-vaxxers and the misinformation they spread on social media caused vaccination rates to drop in the US and the UK, and in other countries, and diseases such as measles, which we had essentially eliminated in the US, started to re-emerge. Tragically, some people died of completely preventable diseases. One thing we’ve learned from the past 20 years is that once anti-vaxxers start spreading their misinformation, it’s incredibly difficult to correct the falsehoods.

Anti-vaxxers today have turned their social media efforts towards attacking the Covid-19 vaccines. (They actually started attacking the vaccines before the vaccines even existed, a kind of reality-twisting that would be funny if it weren’t so tragic.)
