    He doesn’t lead though… He follows.

    Remember when he announced the COVID-19 vaccines and was all proud and waiting for the crowd to tell him how wonderful he was, and how he immediately changed his tune when they didn’t?

    He’s not a leader. He’s a reflection of the racist, stupid and conspiracy-minded crazies that he represents.

    It’s not skepticism. Skepticism involves rational, critical examination. Their position is irrational denialism, or contrarianism.

    By calling it skepticism the media is sane-washing their nonsense.

      Yeah. It’s conspiracy mongering. I don’t even like calling these things conspiracy theories since they aren’t theories. It’s just intended to scare people. It’s conspiracy mongering.

      Can they lead their flock into the void of the next pandemic? If they’d rather die than use their brain, it’s probably for the best.

    He should lead them and himself to a short drop with a sudden stop.

      You know that people’s infants can’t be vaccinated for many things when they’re newborns, right? People who believe wholeheartedly in vaccination? Infants can’t even get the COVID vaccine until they’re six months old.

      I’m glad I don’t have a baby or my words to you would be much harsher.
