Person who has spent 20+ years studying viruses and how they effect the human body: "Vaccines are effective and safe."
Random politician with very little science or medical education: "Vaccines are bad because say they are."
Republican voter: "I agree with the idiot politician."
I'm a biostatisitcian who has taught several infectious disease epidemiology classes, and my hick-ass family doesn't treat me like I know what I'm talking about.
Even my actually libertarian parents are voting for RFK Jr. RFK Jr. led the charge of anti vaxxing in Somoa during a measles outbreak. 63 children died. He went into black communties during covid and compared the RNA vaccine to the Tuskeegee experiments. Fuck antivaxxers and fuck RFK.
Strange choice considering Chase Oliver is actually a p decent candidate
Is he, though?
Yes.
I mean, I agree with the second one (and massive cuts to the DoD and the staggering amount of wastr there; not so much the focus on foreign bases), but I hope there's a LOT more stuff than that.
There is, you can find it in his website
daaaaamn I didn't know he did that, that is deeply fucked up
Thanks for doing what you do, even if there's ignorant people in the world that don't believe you.
Context is the left's biggest weakness and the lack of it is the alt-rights greatest strength.
It's easy to be short, quippy, and loud and much harder to be informed and detailed.
You’re right, but consider that virtually all forms of media have been working overtime to reduce average attention spans to the narrowest possible window over the past 20-30 years. This can make it much more difficult for the informed messages to register before that next notification fires off.
