Are we sure he isnā€™t wearing a wire so someone can keep reminding him to breathe?

How do you take control over everything with vaccinations? IF thatā€™s the idea, then do vets control all our pets because they get rabies vaccines?

Trump was cruising towards a relatively easy victory before Covid changed the whole scene.

Look how little is being talked about Brexit impacts, since BoJo has been able to keep his island locked down for most of the last year.

Look at the stock market, and how much richer the rich got last year, because of the pandemic.

Or Hong Kong, where restrictions made it that much easier for China to crack down on their erstwhile province.

Plenty of room to see where the pandemic has worked out great for authoritarian, would-be authoritarian, and others amongst the ruling class.

More vaccines - people are happy - the economy booms - Biden looks good.

Must prevent this at all costs.

Itā€™s not an act. He really believes the right wing media garbage that has melted the brains of so many of our fellow citizens who consume it. Why would a very dumb United States senator be any different than them?

Fine. We could either make them sit for orals or you could concede that a person like Cruz or Cotton almost certainly does not have below-average intelligence given the evidence of diplomas collected.

If the reluctance to get vaccinated trends continue, we are going to fall short of herd immunity, and Johnson is doing his part to make sure that happens. When COVID comes roaring back in a mutated form that the vaccine doesnā€™t stop, he and all of his crazy ilk will point to this as evidence that the vaccine doesnā€™t work.

If it had been in the hands of people like Johnson in the 50s, we would still be battling polio and small pox. He is dangerously stupid.

Good point about the rest of the World.

The US should be proud of itā€™s vaccination effort.
But at only 5% of the global population we need to avoid spiking the ball at midfield and declaring victory. A global vaccine Marshall Plan isnā€™t just the moral thing to do. It is absolutely imperative for our own long term health and safety.

Honestly if he believes that then what can you say except that heā€™s hopelessly stupid.

You are describing a reality: Persons who were always are the fringe have been getting elected over the past 25(?) or so years and ā€“ worse-- get re-elected. (ā€œHe thinks like I doā€.)
As for RonJonā€™s comment, did he read todayā€™s news about covid in India? Itā€™s a definition of chaos and threatens to be irrecoverable.

Oh for sureā€¦Cruz and Cotton are both very ā€œsmartā€ people and probably score well on IQ tests, etc. Others, not so much. In fact, Iā€™d go so far as to say that they are actually intelligent, not just trained to regurgitate to pass tests (which of course makes everything they say and do a whole other level of dishonest and corrupt). BUT, if I had a $1 for every fucktard I met at Tufts who could pass exams but couldnā€™t reason their way out of a Dennyā€™s placemat maze, Iā€™d be a very rich man. The degrees themselves might as well be folded into diapers really.

Hey, Rojo, Iā€™m with ya. I mean, if they donā€™t vaccinate so many people who are resistant to modern medicine (aka your voting base), itā€™ll only hasten your departure from the Senate, right?

Both fit right now - certainly there is chaos with the oxygen lack and general dystopia.
