(329 posts)I posted on Breitbart stating that a number of outspoken anti-vaxer talkshow hosts and Republican officials have died from COVID and asked for a list of famous vaccine recipients who had died from the "deadly jab". One person sent me four names, all of which were debunked days earlier on various truth/fact check sites. They are just pitiful dupes who deserve no sympathy.

(11,949 posts)To become an opponent of the death penalty. Which is the issue 23 years ago that started my transformation from a non-religious Republican to a liberal democrat. Social Democrat to be more accurate. So if true Ill give him the ability to change his mind.
But back to the point I was going to make before reading the article.
These upper middle aged, local right wing radio host seem to be the true believers and are dying wholesale.
Meanwhile the National guys are clearly just grifting. All the Fox employees have the vaccine. Even Carlson though he wont admit it on air. If Limbaugh had not had cancer he would have had it.
These small fish are being played as dupes. They believe the guys the get their talking points from. To stupid to realize they are being played as the sucker.

Wait, who died from not getting the vaccine? There's been so many lately it's difficult to keep track. C'est la fucking vie, dipshits.
