I do not suffer fools gladly. And there are a lot of fools that are causing me – and this world – suffering right now. The fools of whence I speak are those refusing to get vaccinated for COVID-19. And note I clearly say “refusing” – I am not referring to the very small percentage of people who cannot currently get vaccinated.
Guess what, science-denier? Your opinion about the health risks of coronavirus means nothing. Actually, less than nothing. If you have some asinine belief about this virus that runs counter to ALL the science available, let me ask you these questions:
- Are you a medical doctor?
- Are you a virologist?
- Have you spent years studying infectious diseases?
If this answer is “no” to any of these questions, then Shut. The. Fuck. Up. Because you have NO IDEA what you are talking about.
When you are getting your hair cut/colored/African-braided/mohawked, do you say to your stylist, “(Wo)man, my AMC Pacer makes this weird-ass noise and kicks out a ton of smoke when I step on it. Do you think the bypass valve actuator is wonky?” NO. Because your stylist is an expert in HAIR, not in the finer mechanical details of your ridiculously-customized 1980s ugliest-car-ever-made!
When you finally take your bubble-windowed chick-repellant wheels down to Rodney’s Motor Emporium to get your bypass valve actuator detailed, or routed, or re-greased, or whatever they do to bypass valve actuators, do you ask Rodney, “Dude, I’ve got $200 grand in T-bills right now that are killing me with low yields. Do you think I should dump them into that CNRG ETF?” NO. Because while Rodney is hella good in replacing your blinker fluid, he is not a financial expert. And he’s much more conservative than you are financially and keeps most of his assets in bonds, anyway…
So I’m not sure if we’re clear on this yet: YOU ARE NOT AN EPIDEMIOLOGIST (but if you are, then please contact me, as I’d love to talk about this stuff!). So you do not have any advice, opinion, knowledge, tidbit, idea, thought, or musing about coronavirus vaccinations that means more than the fecal material from the damn Jensen’s dog stuck to the bottom of your sandal that you got from walking out to the mailbox this morning.
Get yo’ ass vaccinated. It isn’t political. It isn’t a conspiracy. Your friend’s uncle that got liver spots and boils after his vaccination doesn’t really exist. Science rules.
