Dr. Phil urges vaccination.

[Tanuki]

I am generally not a fan, but if he has any kind of credibility or influence among the anti-vaxxing crowd, I welcome him stepping up and putting his shoulder to the wheel.

"On The Late Late Show With James Corden Thursday, Dr. Phil McGraw gave his thoughts on the current vaccine debate happening in the U.S. The talk-show host, who is heading into his 20th season next week, started with the conspiracy theories.

“I’ve talked to so many people who aren't taking it because they think they're being injected with a tracking device,” Dr. Phil said. “Are you f***ing kidding me?”
....

"I just try and say to people, ‘Look, it's more than about you. Maybe you get the vaccine for other people and not for yourself. You get it so you don't make other people ill,” Dr. Phil said. “But I do support getting the vaccination. I've gotten the vaccination. I support everybody getting the vaccination. And I hope people do.”..(more)

1. People should get vaccinated anyway

2. Well, that there dag nab does it. I'm a-gettin' me down to the courthouse and a-gettin' jabbed. NT

3. I'm pessimistic about this endorsement carrying much weight

The desire to pwn teh libz overrides any appeal to logic or decency - even when it comes from a faux physician with corn-fed homeyness.

4. Well, maybe that will get them to turn out.

Has Dr. Oz weighed in yet, or is he out selling snake oil?

At this point, whatever gets the job done, yanno?

[empedocles]

5. Agreed. Whatever works, even a little and safely late, for him.

7. Oz filmed himself getting the vaccine in January.

6. Maybe he finally figured out

more people are dying from COVID than from drowning in swimming pools after all.

8. Good start.......

Now we need:

*Judge Judy to order vaccinations to all losers
*Oprah to leave free shots under the seat of every guest
*'Tim the Tool Man' to feature the Binford 5000 vaccination
*No matter what door they choose on 'The Price is Right' - there's a 'Free Round of Vaccination!'
*Every other 'notch' on 'The Wheel of Fortune' is a 'Free Vaccine!'
*Maury Povich has the entire studio audience and "ALL PARENTS ON STAGE" get vaccinated before announcing who is the 'real' father
*All visitors to Rush's grave site must show proof of vaccine before they're allowed to enter - even if you're only there to 'pee.'
