Shut the Fuck Up and Get Your Fucking Vaccine


A bunch of fanatics are fucking up the vaccination program for everyone. Polls are showing that a significant percentage of people won't get the vaccine. In places where people don't get vaccinated, cases have been on the rise. There are YouTube videos, filled with conspiracy theories, exhorting people to avoid the vaccine. People spread the idea that the vaccine is a way to spy on them, and there has been violence directed against the distribution, with fear that not enough people will get it to eliminate the illness.

Yeah, that's what's going on in Afghanistan as health groups attempt to get people vaccinated for polio.

The rhetoric that's coming from the antivaccine right (and, to a lesser, weirder, but just as dangerous extent, the antivax left) is qualitatively not that different from what the Taliban has been pushing in Afghanistan. This is not to disparage the Afghan people or call them stupid. Far from it. It's to say that fear and ignorance is pretty goddamned universal, and it often is so on the same issues no matter where one is from.

Here in the United States, when it comes to the COVID-19 vaccines, we're swimming in a shit pool of lies and fear. We've got the dumbass white evangelical Christians who believe garbage like "It would be God’s will if I am here or if I am not here." (So, like, if God gave people the ability to create vaccines...fuck it, not worth it.) We've got fucking idiotic conspiracy theories like "A massive death wave will be witnessed later this year among those who took the vaccine," ignoring that it's been a year since the first people were vaccinated, and, oddly, no reports of all of them dying have come out.

And then there's motherfucking Tucker fucking Carlson, who always has the expression of a Victorian gentleman learning that women like sex. Carlson has been coyly and not-so-coyly antivax for the better part of the last few years. With the coronavirus vaccines, Tuckfuck has been vigorously gargling the balls of conspiracy nuts. Wondering why you should still have to wear a mask after getting vaccinated, Carlson's just asking, "What is this about? If vaccines work, why are vaccinated people still banned from living normal lives?" Quite note: You're wearing your fucking mask because you still might be able to spread COVID, even if you can't get it, and you're trying not to be a selfish dickhead, something I'm sure Carlson can't even conceive of.

Carlson, who you know got his vaccine the second he could steal the spot from an elderly person, continued tuckerly, "If the vaccine is effective, there’s no reason for people who’ve received a vaccine to wear masks or avoid physical contact. So maybe it doesn’t work and they’re simply not telling you that. Well, you’d hate to think that especially if you’ve gotten two shots but what’s the other potential explanation? We can’t think of one." Yes, big science wants you to wear masks and not eat indoors at restaurants or go to concerts or movies because...he doesn't say, but I'm guessing socialism or critical race theory or AOC.

You know what freedom is? Freedom is celebrating that science can actually solve our fucking problems and taking advantage of that so that your superstition and anti-science fuckery doesn't kill the rest of us.

Shut the fuck up already. Get your fucking vaccine, you fucking assholes.

1. What I want to know...

Is how I ended up in the Derpaverse and how come I didn't notice it before now?

[mopinko]

3. 'the depraverse'

i've been there.

[Hugin]

17. Maybe it's spelled Derpiverse.

I didn't notice any road signs on the way in here.

2. Cases are also rising in north eastern states

And generally these states have been leading the pack in vaccination rates. There just hasn't been enough time to get everyone yet. The majority of the population was not eligible for the vaccination until just last week or this week for many places.

8. Welcome to DU BoringUsername.......

Hope you're not going to be boring, LOL, nobody is around here. I like your handle, it's unique.

11. Thanks

I used to be Zing Zing Zingbah, but I forgot the password and don't use the email address associated with it anymore, so I decided to make a brand new account. Zing Zing Zingbah was the name of that yellow Boohbah. I created that account back when my son was a baby and he liked that show. He's 18 and in college now. LOL!

13. Welcome to our DU family.

4. Superstition is the word

Little mistrustful paranoid minds that are so pompous they think they know better than everyone else.

[niyad]

5. I do wish that RP would not be so circumspect.

[dchill]

7. Yes. Get to the point, man.

[colsohlibgal]

6. Just Do It!

Thankfully there was no big Anti Vaccine movement when the Polio, MMR, etc Vaccines became available.

There is a proportionally small percentage of people who have gone over the ledge, something is wrong with them. Jim Jordan, Ted Cruz, Dufus Donnie are evilly bonkers.

Watched Frontline’s show based on the January 6 insurrection where they talked to some of the nutzoid Far Right Trumpster Types. Something is seriously wrong about their thinking.

We need to take this seriously. I’m concerned.

9. Cases are finally dropping in NY & NJ

Cases are finally dropping in NY and NJ. Rising or steady in PA and most if the USA.

10. I love Rude!

He gets right to the point and gives you colorful words to smirk about.
That anti-vax mindset is fucking worldwide. That’s why we’ll need booster shots next year!
Fuckers!

12. I'd like to see someone come out of the woodwork with information

that Tucker Q Carlson got his vaccine very early on under the cover of darkness and expose the hypocrite.

[IronLionZion]

14. He probably did just like Trump

Ironically, it's mostly their supporters who would believe their lies. Dems are mostly getting vaccinated.

[BobTheSubgenius]

15. Still as good a societal observation, and a delivery as something all erudite and learned-sounding.

I love reading this guy's work. Thank you, babylonsister!

[fescuerescue]

16. Oh yes. That will persuade lots of people

Because all those fence centers and people starting to be persuaded, like to be spoken to like that.

This must be written by the same guy who ghost writes for Trump.
