  • Culture Wars: Thank God for the Vaccine Pt. 2
    Aug 24 2021

    According to Pullman, the vaccine is undeniably saving lives, there is no solid evidence against getting vaccinated, but its still reasonable to be afraid of it. Huh?

    Important terms with Pullman's definitions:

    Covid vaccines - "COVID-19 therapy shots", "experimental injections" or "unnecessary medical treatments"

    Mask mandates/non vaccine virus mitigation efforts - "extremist and anti-science COVID protocols"

    Vaccine developers - “authoritarians who viciously censor all information contrary to their political designs, have spent the last year lying about COVID and science, and treat citizens who question them like cattle to be prodded, branded, and corralled”

    AND

    Schools - "'learning' institutions that are really social conformity systems pushing experimental genetically based therapies, social restrictions, and face coverings"
