Can you imagine what people...

...on hard-core, anti-vaxxer Right would say if a healthy 42 year-old male had a stroke 7.5 hours after getting a COVID vaccination, was rushed to the hospital, and then died the following day? There would be absolutely no question in their minds that it was because of the vaccine. But then we have 42 year-old Brian Sicknick, who on Jan. 6th, 2021, after being attacked with bear spray in the face at 2:20pm and dealing with a violent mob throughout the remainder of the day, had a stroke that evening at 10pm while on-duty at the Capitol (it was a very long day for many officers), was rushed to the hospital and died the following day; yet in their minds there's just no way what went down that day at the Capitol day had anything whatsoever to do with his death.

The brain cells that make logical connections were decimated by their addiction to Faux News, and other toxic sources.

“Beam me up Scotty. No intelligence here…”

and never, ever argue in good faith on that basis. All we can do is point out the discrepancies to bystanders -- there's no debating with them.
