“I’m a Republican man and I want to say to everyone, we need to take this vaccine.”

I am in shock

“I’m a Republican man and I want to say to everyone, we need to take this vaccine,”

I agree we all need the covid vaccines.

I agree with that as well.
That there is hesitancy about getting the shot… that is trump’s fault. There is much to blame him for. He should stand for Crimes against Humanity before the Court at the Hague. Hundreds of thousands of Americans died or got severely ill because of his incompetency, his petulance, his egotism.

Hey Moscow Mitch, it was your president and your party that totally fucked up the Covid response. Never once during Trumpy’s term did I hear you say anything to counter his lies so just shut the fuck up. Your advice is a day late and a dollar short.

Can’t have a Republican herd if the herd gets wiped out in a plague.

Solid reasoning from a turtle Republican man.

So vouching for Fauci is fine now but, not 12 months ago because you couldn’t be bothered to look at his credentials? Or you were too afraid of a mean Tweet?

So only now, after over a 100 million doses have been administered and the emergent side effects are… bupkis, does moscow mitch urge people to get vaccinated. Awesome high-wire act, there, turtle.

I wish they had found a significant link between COVID and impotence. 100% male vaccination rate.
