We Have To Call them Out

Post by Nomomo »

Anti-Vaccination morons need to be called out for the gawdamned morons that they are.

We need to tell our moronic relatives that they are damned gawdamned asshole morons if they are anti-vaccination. “F” 'em , i'm through with them.

Family or not, they are damned holding up the survivability of the human race with their stupidity. And should should be told so.

Were you wearing a pink vagina hat while writing the opening post?? No?? Oh!! I know! Maybe an SS uniform?

For Christ sake dude. Calling out people is the worst thing you could do if you want people to take the vaccine. All you're going to do is make them even more stubborn. Eventually a large portion of people will have taken the vaccine. Your attitude is what is making it take so long.

As a proponent of tasking the Covid vaccine, I would not recommend using this particular method of communication - Something tells me that it might not be very successful. Like zero success - None!

For example: You shouldn't roll out the "You're holding up the survivability of the human race" card because it's an irrational and unreasonable statement (Perhaps you ought to keep this card tucked firmly away in your back pocket.) You should also try to refrain from all of the name calling too. That might help to not distract from the message you're trying to deliver.

Anyway, just my thoughts.

I understand your frustration and anger. Telling people of may relieve some of that, at least temporarily. But I doubt it’s unlikely to change anyone’s behavior. And you may burn some bridges with family that can never be repaired.

COVID is a significant health threat, but it is not a threat to survival of the human race. Perhaps you could choose to vent your anger and frustration in away that does not risk permanent alienation from family members.

I know of at least two extended family members who won’t get vaccinated because, ‘baby parts’. They’ll never be convinced otherwise. Best that can be done is to show appropriate caution to and for them, keep your fingers crossed, and hope for the best outcome.

Good point, we do not want them holding their breath then passing out. When they come to they will add extra aluminum foil to completely cover their ears thus making it even harder to communicate.

Wise advice. That's an important component of mediation strategy. Create a way for the other side to back down and still look like it has achieved victory.

I just won't associate with anyone opposed to vaccination. The primary reason (other than health and wellbeing) is that I'm unlikely to find a person interesting to talk to if they are that damned stupid.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.
