"The vaccine was rushed."

This is one of the more common arguments I've heard from those who are unvaccinated.

First of all, I am grateful that so many pharmaceutical companies stepped up and started working on vaccine development and came up with a vaccine as quickly as possible.

Second, I am glad that our technology was at a point where quick, safe vaccine development is possible.

Third, how many people are really in a position to evaluate how fast is too fast? How many people have the slightest idea how a vaccine is developed or how long it should take? Not that many.

Fourth, it is not the case that the vaccine was untested. Adverse events occur with any pharmaceutical, and some adverse effects to the vaccines have been reported. And these occur in a relatively small number of people.

Fifth, an expedited vaccine is not less safe and effective because it was expedited.

Finally, its a fucking pandemic. Why wouldn't you want to get a safe vaccine out that as quickly as possible. Would these idiots feel better if it was held back for 6 more months for no reason?

Did you have access to guns when you were in high school?

i.e., if you were angry about something could you have gone to school with a gun?

Does Antifa actually exist or is it a figment of the disturbed Republican psyche?

They seem to get "credit" for a lot of things other people do.

Packers players make a statement:

Wisconsin is a brutally divided state when it comes to politics, but probably more than 90% are Packers fans.

I understand.

This is not the time for people to tough it out.

Evangelicals are a big part of the problem.

I was talking to an evangelical this morning and I brought up Trump. She told me that he's been a big part of rooting out corruption in this country. And she told me she believes every single word of the Bible is true.

I don't know how anyone could believe that Trump is rooting out corruption, unless their brain has gone missing.

Today a twenty-something told me that she doesn't plan to have children because of climate change.

She doesn't think we are going to be able to save the planet.

Wow, just wow.

Nancy Pelosi is an awesome role model for women.

She exudes confidence and strength.
She is well informed on every subject.
She doesn't take shit from anyone.
She knows how to lead.
She is both family oriented and career oriented.

I just love her and I am glad she is fighting for us.
