Well, as you sometimes have a habit of doing when it suits your interests, let's ask for the facts.Originally Posted by Richard Davis
I'll ask again, so what?
You found a person who was adamant about not getting the vaccine and they died.
Then you decided to exploit the death of the poor person for your political reasons, which makes you even MORE sleazy than I've thought you were, IF that is even possible.
So you have sunk to the lowest levels of gutter slime in exploiting the death of a fellow human being to make a point so that you can imply how clever you are compared to anyone else who disagrees with your point of view about getting the vaccine.
Does this make you feel virtuous, to make a posting, USING The death of a fellow human being to score cheap political points?
And so what have you proved, that you're a sleazebucket in the worst form?
You're a sorry excuse for a human being IMO.

I haven't "found a person" who was adamant about not getting the vaccine and they died. Although there are plenty of them out there, I certainly don't go out and try to find them. In this case, it was posted on a major news organization so that people who are vaccine resistant will learn from the experience and get vaccinated, hence the title of this thread. It is YOU who is trying to concoct some kind of an idea that posting the video which, again, is on a major news network to get the message out to the vaccine resistant, is somehow a political exploitation which is just another wingnut conspiracy theory hatched in your mind...Originally Posted by Richard Davis

"I read your initial posting, where you used the initial post you made to score cheap political points and it stuck with me yesterday and I came to the conclusion that I no longer want to be like you and the rest of the left, so much so that it made me reflect."Originally Posted by Richard DavisIt is the typical method for leftists like yourself to exploit every occurrence in society for a cheap political point. You do it every time when a gun tragedy occurs and now you've done it by exploiting the death of another human from Covid, using that event and that person's death to mock him and others.
I can just see you sitting back with your Chesire Cat grin, laughing to yourself that another person died from Covid, and you couldn't wait to get to your computer to post about it.
It shows your callousness and just plain apathy towards other human lives. Its all about politics with you. Its a sad view into your psyche.
Every time you do it, it doesn't surprise.
I get angry here and type nasty things sometimes, however as I get older I'm trying to reflect on my anger issues with the left and their agenda.
I don't think you've ever done that in your life.
P.S. That's why I just went back and changed my previous postings.

Getting back on topic, now that you've had your cathartic for the day,(much of which is BS) the message from the man who died, in his own words is clear: 'I should have gotten the damn vaccine'. Who needs to hear this message? From the surveys conducted in the polling that's already been performed, it's clearly Republicans and that's based upon THEIR STATED OPPOSITION TO THE VACCINE. The latter is not same for other groups that may have vaccine hesitancy but are still open to being convinced to take it. We're talking outright opposition here and that's the same reason you won't see the message of the video, or others like it, being transmitted on MAGA media. At the most what you will see are some of the Faux news propagandists giving mixed messages of, and I'm paraphrasing here: "I'm not a doctor so talk to your doctor about your personal choice" etc etc. And that's after months of negative deriding commentary about masking and the vaccines. I'll remind you that many of these same right wing propagandists are the ones that had no problem advising their viewers to take hydroxychloroquine either as a preventative or as a treatment for covid. They're also the same ones who vaccinated but won't admit it. They're also the same ones who use the vaccine portal at Faux in lieu of a vaccine passport even though they rail against the latter as some form of government control...Originally Posted by Richard Davis
I'm certainly not responsible for any irresponsible remarks made by some political hack out there who makes crazy statements.
I just know that unlike you, I don't run here, using stories about another human being's terrible tragedy, exploiting their tragedy and the tragedy of so many families and friends of those victims, to make cheap political points the way you do much of the time.
When a hideous shooting occurs whereby Multiple human beings are murdered by some crazed psychopath, you don't seem to miss a chance to get on here and exploit their terrible deaths for your cheap political reasons.
I find it more than distasteful, to put it mildly.
I just think to myself every time you engage in exploitation of others's misery how sad that is. I find that tactic to be vile.
You seem to not have a problem with it since you do it so often.
That's all I'm saying.
BTW, I've said some damned nasty things in the past, and I'll own to those despicable remarks I've made. I may disagree with Jim Brown on a lot of things, but I will say this about him. I think he's a good person and I will apologize to him for calling him out in various forums out of the blue, just to make snide remarks about him.
I was wrong.
I've done the same with the other Jim in Michigan. He didn't deserve a lot of the remarks I've made about him in the past. I would any day make a public apology to him as well. I made a threat to him one time because of something he said about my late father. I didn't appreciate it, but he had the character to apologize publicly to me. I accepted it then and I still accept it. I hold no ill will towards him and I hope he doesn't towards me.
Both of those guys are decent human beings and both have character, perhaps they have more character than I do, and I will try in the future to respect their points of view.
I know one thing for sure, your politicians and their far left activists are doing what I consider to be a very heinous thing and that it to lump Americans into various groups, black, white, rich, poor and they want us to hate each simply because of our uncontrollable traits.
It is wrong and it is destroying this nation.
That is what the leftists and the Marxists have as their goal. It will destroy this nation.
If we are such a horrible nation, with such racism and hatred towards each other, why are so many foreigners beating down our doors to get in here.
I know which path I'm heading from here on out.

"In recent months, Republican skepticism of Covid vaccines and their rollout has grown louder: One recent poll found that 47 percent said they weren’t likely to get vaccinated."Originally Posted by Richard Davis
The word you were looking for is catharsis not cathartic, and that wasn't my gist today.
Furthermore, what I wrote certainly isn't BS. I've decided to reflect on all aspects of things in my life and in the world.
I just realize I can be a better person overall, and I'm going to try to strive for that everyday. My brother and a few others here and there have made me think, sometimes out loud, and you're free to mock.
I really couldn't care less to try and convince you of anything regarding my motive.
I've come to a conclusion about you, and it is a sad conclusion.
So I'll ask you for your evidence to show a "Republican STATED OPPOSITION TO THE VACCINE", as you've said,
Where is that written in the Republican platform?
Now then, my lunch is over and I'm going to go and enjoy the day, and work hard to get things done.
You can go back to doing whatever it is you do all day long.
Signed, a trumptoid

Hi Richard:
I agree that Rod wayyyy overstates anti-vaccination sentiment as an entirely Republican thing. He can't help himself. That said, Republicans are being vaccinated at lower rates than Democrats, which I think is unfortunate and should be the target of non-judgmental, matter of fact advertising.
If anyone cares, there is a wealth of information at the links about who is actually refusing the vaccine in both "never" and "wait and see" categories.

I'll add that in addition to the fringe group of doctors that Rich previously cited, who also comprise a small portion of the doctors in practice, and who reportedly espoused other fringe ideas, were polled "online" as to their beliefs. Now, as most of us know, online polling and reporting of one's opinions, not to mention that of an entire group, is in itself suspect and problematic. A recent example would be Trump's claims that he "won" all of his debates with Biden, based upon online polling when scientific polling results revealed the opposite conclusions...Originally Posted by James Lacey
It was 150 employees from a Houston hospital system. That system employs almost 25,000 people. We don't know the job function of those 150 employees, but I'd be willing to bet money none of them were doctors. So, this claim that "...many healthcare workers and doctors are refusing to take the vaccine" is bunk. The number of healthcare workers that are refusing is tiny in comparison to those who are complying.
As far as the claim that Biden is letting anyone into the country at the border, and thousands of them have tested positive, and so forth on, and so on. This is merely further social media-fueled conspiracy theory bunk. If you take even a modicum of time to investigate the claim and look at sources other than the right-wing outrage media, it's pretty clear the claim is largely false.
