Candace Owens opposition to the Covid-19 vaccine is so vehement, shes willing to die for it.
The Daily Wire pundit has been in the news of late thanks to her interview with former President Donald Trump, and her criticism of his pro-vaccine stance. But there have been recurring questions about the sincerity of her position. Part of this stems from a photo of Owens that was taken at a UFC event in Madison Square Garden months ago at which, pursuant to New York City law, all attendees age 12 and up were required to show proof of vaccination.
Media Matters Josh Campbell flagged a segment of Candace in which the eponymous host declared I am obviously unvaccinated in response to public skepticism. She then proceeded to outline the full extent of her vaccine opposition:
I am not getting this vaccine. Ever! Never going to get it. I dont care if Im on my deathbed and they say it can save you, Im not going to get it. Im principally now opposed to it, and I do not understand why anyone who is healthy, able-bodied and young would ever get this vaccine if youre not at risk of Covid.

(100,068 posts)It doesn't care if you're young, healthy and able-bodied. It doesn't care if you prefer horse paste or malaria pills. It's a virus and an equal opportunity killer. So yeah Candace, go ahead FAFO.

rurallib
(62,411 posts)like Owens believes she is will cause many folks to finally get vaxxed. So bottom line is that her 'principals' could possibly actually do some good.
At the worst she removes herself from the population.

(10,828 posts)is a preventative, not a therapy? If she were on her deathbed, no one would offer her the damn vaccine bc it would be totally useless after being infected.
Owens is on the same wavelength as Sarah Palin, the not over my dead body thought-meister.
Go for it, girlfriends! We promise not to weep.

(589 posts)to say which one of those ghouls creeps me out the most...but she is solidly in the running. Wrongness just EXUDES from her, in my eyes. She's like something an evil version of Jim Henson might come up with...just to give children nightmares.

(11,736 posts)"...and I do not understand why anyone who is healthy, able-bodied and young would ever get this vaccine if youre not at risk of Covid." This is blatantly obvious. Add that to the VAST list of things she doesn't understand. EVERYONE is at risk for COVID-19. Some people are more at risk for serious complications from the virus. You get the vaccine as a preventative measure, just like you have a fire extinguisher in your home or seat belts in your car. That doesn't mean that you can go 110 on the freeway but you load up on your preventative measures to increase your odds of survival and escape from serious harm.
Again, she is an idiot.

(3,332 posts)I wish we could talk these people out of their foolishness, but they seem to take pride in tempting the gods for the simple purposes of 'triggering libs" and convincing themselves that passionate ignorance is equal to learned knowledge.
They may well succeed at the latter, even if done at the expense of their own health and life.
