I honestly hope not to see Alec Baldwin again.

Turns out he's an anti-vaxx supporter.

1. I don't know where or how so many became so fixated on vaccines

I mean, I've had diagnoses that I consider marginal, and there was an incorrect one or two in the family that were lousy medicine. That doesn't mean I reject science or doctors or medicine. I might be skeptical, or ask a few more deep questions than other patients, or I might research myself in an attempt to validate medical options, but I'm not crazy, especially for simple things like vaccination. That's simpler than get a good night's sleep and brush your teeth twice a day.

2. What I don't get is the booster pushback.

For Chrissakes, most of us get flu shots every year with no complaint. COVID, if we ever manage to control it, will be the same way…a booster to protect whatever variant is going around that season.

This is just a perfect storm of shit: Years of vaccine distrust spread by the likes of Jenny McCarthy and RFK Jr.; people living in their own echo chambers and believing everything they hear; and the politicization of every damn thing in this country.

3. I disagree with the booster pushback too, but I get it

Some had really bad reactions both times and hoped that this was it for life. Do "most" really get a flu shot? I'm not doubting you, but I'm surprised.

4. Whatever bad reaction they got is far easier than being on a ventilator.

I have gotten a flu shot every year for the past 16 years. In fact, I received my flu shot and Pfizer booster on the same day. This hesitancy is complete bullshit.

5. I had a bad reaction to the booster, but it is better than dying.

Or being on a ventilator.

I was in fact glad I got sick for three days.
It was proof my immune system was kicking in.

I just don't understand the thought process of vax refusers.

6. He and his whacko wife are both rich assholes.

His wife cosplayed being Spanish for years. Even pretended she couldn’t speak English on the Today show. He made excuses for her.
