Booster shot: Not as easy as you might think

[John Mercier]

So you went to the military and got about six vaccines that Kennedy has stated will either kill you, cripple you, or make you stupid.

Are you crippled?

Did you read his book? Why do people have such a difficult time with nuance? There is a lot of gray in the area between absolutes. So according to you (and Scott, I guess) every vaccine is 100% safe and effective and if someone expresses some healthy skepticism, they believe that every vaccine is dangerous and ineffective. At least in this book, I did not read where he said that all these vaccines are expressly dangerous. However, his ultimate conclusion is that the benefits do not outweigh the risks. That's all. Again, read the book and come to your own conclusions. Have an open mind. I do.

I don't care how much Kennedy is worth. He's a private citizen who made his money by inheriting it and in the private sector, I guess. As taxpayers, we should be critical of those who make money when in office. Fauci is one of a long line of career bureaucrats who have become wealthy through so-called government service. See Biden, Pelosi, and the ilk. Yet the left is obsessed with people who made their money in the private sector and then decide to go into public service. See Trump.

And finally, no I am not crippled, but my wife would sometimes profess that I am profoundly stupid!

Kennedy is a dangerous person whose primary tactic is to raise BS questions in the name of "nuance". His goal is to raise just enough doubt that a few gullible people send him money and/or skip vaccines that are very important to their health. But of course, there is no nuance with respect to the vaccines that are a standard part of US healthcare--they have saved millions of lives and are extremely safe. Thank goodness the vast majority of Americans are too smart to fall for his garbage.

I find it shameful that most Americans fell for the sky is falling, chicken little alarmists of the so-called dangerousness of the virus. I wish more Americans were smart enough to figure out this was a media and social media crisis used to scare us into compliance. If more Americans understood statistics and past histories of similar viruses, the unconstitutional lockdowns would have never happened. But hey, at least they are smart enough to stand in line for a vaccine that doesn't work and may be harmful.

No one claimed the vaccines were 100% effect or had no serious health effects to some members of the population.
You took at least six that have histories that are worse...
Where you an alarmist?

The only claim I refuted, is the false one that you inferred that Fauci made all his money from vaccines... and the other false one that he approves the vaccines. That would be like suggesting that President Trump personally approved the vaccines... which is also false.

You provided a link that showed one year of income. My claim hasn't been proven false. Dr. Fauci is worth in excess of $10,000,000. How does a "civil servant" become so wealthy? He has earned millions in royalties in his career. Also, I am sure he has invested wisely, much like Mr. Nancy Pelosi.

I'm younger than he, have made far less yearly, and have about two-thirds of his estimated wealth.

The secret... save and invest.
