You can't compare the hesitancy found within zones of deep American poverty with the hesitancy of well-educated Mormons who should know better but have found their God in right-wing sloganeering. In addition to the garbage that has come to me via a lifelong devout Mormon friend of mine who is an unhinged right-winger, I've slowly been getting reports from family who have up until recently been quiet about things, and the fever of abject anti-vaxx stupidity among well-educated Mor(m)ons who should know better is reaching the melting point.
1. That Roosevelt allowed the bombing of Pearl Harbor and definitely knew about it in advance.
2. That MLK was a communist.
3. That the Civil War was definitely fought over states rights.
4. That ERA would bring the dreaded "unisex bathroom."
5. That taxation is unconstitutional.
6. That Joseph Smith was "the greatest American ever."
7. That the Clintons definitely murdered Vince Foster.
8. That Nixon did nothing worse than other presidents and should not have resigned.

11. That balancing your magnetic field by sweeping arms around you in pyramid shape will improve your health and strength.
12. That Obama is the anti-Christ prophesied of in the scriptures.
I could go on and on and on and on . . . .

One update however, now instead of Obama, Jesus has labeled Biden as the new and improved anti-Christ.
I have also heard that getting the vaccine magnetizes you and paperclips stick to your foreheads and chests!!! Wow, it's almost like getting new super powers man! Now if I could just find a way to make those lil things actually stick to me... perhaps duct tape?
