Maine Anti-Vaxers


From left, Aleck Burnell, Jacob Conrad and Dale Garland said they are opposed to new state and federal guidelines on mask usage in areas of high transmission. “I say hell no to vaccine mandates,” Conrad said. “You see all the sicknesses still going around with people that are vaccinated.” Ben McCanna/Staff Photographer

A Caltech professor and the first American woman to win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been selected to serve as part of President-Elect Joe Biden’s White House Science Team, the transition team announced Friday.

Caltech’s Linus Pauling Professor of Chemical Engineering, Bioengineering and Biochemistry and Director of the Rosen Bioengineering Center Frances H. Arnold will serve as co-chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, along with Maria Zuber of MIT, according to a statement issued by the transition team. “They are the first women to serve as co-chairs of PCAST.”

They join a team of a half-dozen scientists from across the country, who are to be led by Office of Science and Technology Policy Director and Presidential Science Advisor nominee Eric Lander, according to the statement. The position of presidential science advisor is being upgraded to a Cabinet position for the first time.

Unvaccinated people that give it to children should be charged with crimes, up to murder, depending on the outcome.

10. "And people are pissed" That is what the article from which the picture come from says.

Among the vaccinated in Maine, a growing anger at those who resist

Inoculated residents express frustration and ambivalence about the unvaccinated
as COVID-19 case counts rise here and across the U.S..

Here in OH it is much worse we have a few areas of >90% vaccinated rate ... educated,
wealthy, and so on but we also have white rural areas and of black and Hispanic people that
had vaccine rates around 20% (or used to be). So much of my state is every bit as stupid
as those three in the picture from the O.P..

... and somehow they interviewed a Ms. Davis of Springfield, MO said something about she didn't
like the way Dr. Fauci was doing the research the vaccine and so she and her family were not going
to take the vaccine. Maybe she has changed her mind or is sick and or dead by now.
