Fox Guest Pushes Bizarre Theory That COVID Vaccinations Will Lead To More Mass Shootings

As news of a mass shooting at a San Jose, California rail yard broke on Wednesday morning, leaving at least eight people dead, retired NYPD detective Pat Brosnan took to Fox News to suggest that the country’s gun violence epidemic will worsen as more Americans get vaccinated against COVID-19.

Mr. Brosnan appears to have taken a few too many sharp blows to the head.

Or else he’s just a really stupid wingnut.

Or maybe both.

Let’s see…hundreds of millions of guns don’t cause mass shootings, but hundreds of millions of vaccines in arms do. I’m just not seeing the link here, maybe I need to watch more Fox News before it becomes clear how all the guns out there aren’t causing mass shootings…

Having a hard time judging this one. Looks like she wasn’t following the one-and-one rule, but cutting in line.

WTF

“Once COVID starts to lift, these cowardly shooters will come out exactly in tandem with the number of vaccinations,” Brosnan said. “You can be sure they probably got vaccinated. They were just scared to come out.”

As most mass shooters end their spree by dying, saying mass shooters only come out after getting vaccinate is dumb even for Republicans.

As long as Manchin is in the senate, the legislative filibuster ait going anywhere.

However, Fox News needs a grievance.

Sure… a guy that intends to shoot himself at the end, but waited until he got vaccinated because he was afraid of Covid. The deductive reasoning of this guy Brosnan is on par with Sherlock Holmes… that is why I insist that cops should be drafted, that way we don’t get a concentration of blockheads like this guy.

The RW is off the wall crazy at this point. Can you imagine if it were people of color doing all this? Woman drove her car through a vaccination site, luckily didn’t hurt anyone, not for lack of trying.

This is true in the sense that vaccinations are allowing life to return to normal again, and “normal” in America means an astronomical amount of gun violence. I suppose his “solution” is we allow the pandemic to run wild so we’re all stuck at home. What an idiot.

I prefer to think of it as road happiness.

If all of the stupid idiots who cut people off, can’t use turn signals, drive slow in the passing lane and the like were removed from the roads, we’d have a much happier place to live in.

Granted, his corrective training methods are a little extreme, but I’ll bet she’ll be thinking twice before pulling that shit again.

I’m sure the retired detective will support the confiscation of all guns owned by vaccinated people. It’s the only way to be safe, right?

ETA - Maybe there should be a review of the trials where this detective testified. Does he have similar concerns with polio vaccines, etc?

The vaccine and shooter theory treating the viewers like children before bedtime, “tell us a story Fox news.”

Does this mean I have to be scared of my fully vaccinated wife, who got her vaccine a couple months before me? She’s had more time to fester, after all

If you’re not scared that your wife occasionally considers whether putting up with your shit or cashing in on the life insurance is more appealing, you’re doing something wrong.

“FoxNews” and “bizarre theory”. Kinda hard to have the first one without the second one.
