Anti-mask and anti-vaccine crusaders have stuck to their word against science … that is until a string of the most vocal skeptics fell victim to Covid-19. In the latest episode of The Point, CNN’s Chris Cillizza explains how the anti-vaccine contingency has changed its tone, and how these deaths could’ve been completely avoidable all along.

The news in this country is like the guy at the party that continues making a joke that no one is laughing at
@Occam3132 I agree, immune systems are nonsense… we all need vaccines to survive or its the end of all humanity. Anti vaxxers will all die of covid. You smart.
Or like a magician on stage with an audience that knows how his tricks are done but he still keeps going pretending they don’t know.
Laughter is the best medicine.
When you’re too stupid to science
@Brian Simmons it isn’t supposed to stop you from getting covid, only better equip your body to fight it. although despite that it does lessen your chance of contracting it
How to beat Covid……….Turn off your TV
Sums it up.
Also put your head in the sand
@Jim Orloski you read the news your misinformed. If you don’t your uninformed. If you research on your own and come to your own conclusions your anti political science 😬.
You’re a dj, not a doctor. I know it’s an easy mistake to make. But just wanted to bring this to your attention.
Hey un le ruckus
I wonder if misinformation caused those people to lose trust in the source that is reporting on them now?
@NINO anyone naive enough to get their facts from CNN or Fox for that matter is stupid
@curtis reeves Then get it from one of the 100’s of other sources. Get it from the places that track the infections/deaths. Get it from the 1000’s of reports directly quoting what people in the hospitals see. Get it somewhere. And remember who’s lying to you when you do.
@NINO finally someone with some common sense
Wow. Who’s would ever think that could happen?😂
@NINO Ironic comment.
I’m unvaccinated, I had Covid, and I survived with no symptoms at all. So what’s your point? What does someone else’s experience have to do with the decisions I made for MY body? Just because someone will die in a car crash today should I be afraid to drive? Just because someone will choke on their food today should I not eat? Lol is covid the only way to die? Because that’s the narrative these idiots are pushing
Because you could unknowingly pass it off to someone with a weak immune system or preexisting conditions and turn those conditions deadly coupled with covid. I don’t know why I’m answering that though. You knew the answer. You have to at this point. We really still doin this?
I identify as a horse and will take ivermectin instead
@Poodl Puff i identify as a rock i drink lava
Much better than a vaccine.
@Evan Saves The World Pharmaceutical grade to give for parasites in people is nothing like what the idiots are taking which is a strength for a horse or cow. And there is no evidence that it prevents Covid. You are brainwashed by internet garbage spread by people with no credibility. Good luck with that, it’s commonly called Russian Roulette. Sooner or later….brains on the wall. Sadder.
Please don’t – I identify as one of your worms.

PEER REVIEWED SCIENCE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED FROM THE CONVERSATION
peer reviewed science on the vaccine will be complete in 2023. but go ahead, I’m sure its safe.

My question is why do we have to give rewards for people to get the vaccine? Makes it even weirder.
because we are the only population stupid enough that requires incentive to actually get vaccinated
And why do we have to threaten those with loss of their livelihood if they don’t? There has been so much fear mongering and blaming!
@Rhonda Gregory Because their (antivaxxer peeps’) existence threatens those who have comorbidities or other things that make COVID more likely to result in their death. We don’t have to put up with your bullshit if it hurts other people.
Then why are those getting the shot getting covid?
If they don’t want the life saving vaccine so be it, we have ours in our arm…
Nice fear tactics. Luckily for me I’m not some old unhealthy man who would die from the cold.
