No Matter How Tough They Talk, Anti-Vacciners are Actually Cowards

[JoeOtterbein]

Just because they are adults, and often act like they are can fight anyone and everyone, does not mean that they are not cowards at heart.

In their little minds, they are actually the victims who are simply afraid of getting a little needle poked in their arms.

Whatever fear they express about the vaccine, be it a nefarious toxic left-wing government method of mind control or "just worried" the vaccine does not work, it all boils down to the plain fact they are afraid of something irrational.

Just like any irrational coward.

1. I have often wondered this myself.

How many of the especially loud and obnoxious anti-vaxxers are that way to cover up the fact that they’re just plain old scared of needles.

3. Or it could be their own intransigence

A fellow I've known since childhood has become a radicalized right wing nut job. I follow him of Facebook in order to get a read on what these people think and how they're acting. (A personal aside: in junior high school, this fellow prevented me from doing something that would have haunted me for the rest of my life. I was grateful at the time but even more so over the passing decades. Since we had been close friends, I'm disappointed by the course his life has taken.)

I think many of these folks cannot admit they were wrong. This guy continuously rants about wearing a mask and how people need oxygen. This is a stupid response and for the last two years we've all been wearing masks. Has anyone suffocated from an N-95? I don't think so.

He constantly brags that he won't be forced by the government to put something in his body. Even though 100s of millions of us have had 1,2 or 3 shots without dying, he seems convinced the vaccines will either kill you, neuter you, reduce your IQ or other serious side effects, (take your pick).

If he were to get his shots and wear a mask, he'd have to concede he was wrong. Since he's been spouting this crap for two years, that would be very difficult, I would think since it represents a 180º shift of opinion and thought.

It's just an idea. In the end, I've lost any compassion for anyone who doesn't get their shots and wear a fucking mask properly. Whatever their reasons, they're stupid.

4. They are lashing out at their impotence

They are lashing out at their impotence. They have little control of their life and need something to distract themselves. Most of the AntiVaxers I know are all underperformers, and slackers. They have little influence over their small lives and this crisis has curtailed their little joys and scams, so with their extra free time they just sit around and stew.

I'm sure some are just selfish and are unwilling to protect others and may secretly revel in the destruction of this crisis. But most of the active antivax posters I've seen aren't successful by any measure.
