In the face of an emergency and impending demise, I have no idea what they will do. Maybe start turning to healers? Maybe accept being injected by something they are told is not a vaccine but is actually a vaccine?
I can tell you that they won't change even in the face of an emergency and impending demise.

If any of you recall, I lost 1 brother to COVID, and almost lost my other brother to COVID, who is an antivaxxer. HE spent over 3 months in the hospital, with the first 5 weeks on a ventalator. During the time he was on the ventalator, he was given a 2% chance of survival, which we didn't learn till long after. He survived, but had a stroke in the process, losing movement of his left arm/hand, his thought process has slowed down severaly, taking 3 to 4 times longer to think stuff thru, etc. along with other long term COVID related effects. Within a month after being released from the hospital, he was back on the bandwagon of the disinformation about COVID, and vaccines..

He didn't learn shit from his experience. So I can confidently tell you, it doen't matter to antivaxxers, they will carry their ignorance and pure stupidity to their grave.

Naturally the new chosen acting director for the cdc has no medical background; after all why would the leader of cdc need to know anything about medicine in this administration; since the new job of the cdc is to spread conspiracy theories and not fight disease.

More out of the cdc resignations


“I am unable to serve in an environment that treats CDC as a tool to generate policies and materials that do not reflect scientific reality and are designed to hurt rather than to improve the public’s health,” Daskalakis wrote. "I find that the views he and his staff have shared challenge my ability to continue in my current role at the agency and in the service of the health of the American people. Enough is enough"

"The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud. I am resigning because of the cowardice of a leader that cannot admit that HIS and his minions’ words over decades created an environment where violence like this can occur. I reject his and his colleagues’ thoughts and prayers, and advise they direct those to people that they have not actively harmed."

Will POtuS removing Kamala Harris‘s secret service protection finally turn a few MAGAts that have a shred of humanity left? Probably not.

Honestly this isn’t as big a deal as it’s being made out to be. Her detail would’ve expired in July without Biden’s extension.

I do think it’s incredibly petty on the part of Trump to do this just before she embarks on a major book tour. He should’ve done it in July to spite her and Biden if that was his primary intent.

That's awful, sorry you had to go through that.

Here's hoping ... he hasn't been seen since the "dear leader" cabinet meeting.
I'm not sure I want him dead. The devil you know and all that. I can think of outcomes that are worse without him around, and the mythology of him dying in office. Might solidify him as a religious icon, and anyone chanting his name will be imbued with his power(lulz).

I could be convinced otherwise.

The issue is that Vance and the own trumpists wants Trump going away and pull the Soviet era in the USA


False. The issue is, and remains, your need to learn at least the basics of American history and politics before trying to comment on them.

Right wing christofascists are not trying to bring communism to America. That makes about as much sense as saying Judy Vance is a left wing trans activist.

You're posting nonsense again, instead of actual info or an argument. Knock it off, we know you are capable of better. We've seen it.
