Chris Wallace buries top Republican, says OTHER vaccines are already mandated in schools

Last edited Mon Sep 13, 2021, 12:26 AM - Edit history (1)

What a scumbag for suggesting Polio was more dangerous than Covid19. In the worst year of the polio epidemic, roughly 3000 Americans died of the disease. So far, 678,000 people have died from COVID-19.

Imagine if he hadn't done that, we might not have won our independence.

Glad there's a supreme court precedent on this.
Let's hope the current court will uphold it, if (or when) it comes to them

I just thought of a compromise for the anti covid vaxers. Either they take the vaccine or get quarantined inside a Russian roulette gaming stadium, where they can fire their guns at themselves, or choose to pray or play cards. Medical care provided in the parking lots.
