    Given this is a novel vaccination method how do you know that? Can you provide any data to back that up

    Since when does the number of listeners prove the quality of the network?

    The real number is 83% of Democrats among blacks.

    This would give us 54% black anti-vax.

    For the sake of debate, I'll give you this point.

    Now, how does that number contradict the fact that 30% of Republicans reject the vaccine.

    The quality of a news network is based on its credibility. When they lose their credibility they lose viewers and advertisers.

    It contradicts the claim that only 4% of Democrats are anti vaxxers

    If the number of listeners proves credibility, the same principle applies in politics.

    So Biden is more credible than Trump.

    I will repeat what I said earlier.

    The irony of your argument is that you are taking a piece of data from a poll that you consider to be false to contradict another poll that you also consider to be false.

    We see - over and over - here at PF the number of 'conspiracy' type ideas that right leaners tend to have. I suppose they see it as questioning rather than accepting what is being told to us.

    Yet Bidens approval is at 38%? You sure you want to make that comparison?

    Wrong. You are the one using some poll to try and falsify information that only 4% of Democrats are anti vaxxers when its glaringly obvious that couldn't even be close due to black voters refusing the shot.
    My information comes from the CDC. Its public knowledge of the race counts on vaccines. Not a poll.

    Your system is wrong then. 100% legit site that has been producing research for quite some time. But hey, you do you and get your data from the likes of CNN!

    You’re forgetting that blacks represent only 12% of the US population. Their effect on the unvaccinated number pales into insignificance compared with a third of Republicans.

    They are also ignoring the fact that not everyone even votes for any party

    Agreed. It’s childish deflection and whataboutism…..anything to shift the attention away from some very damning numbers.

    Just need to take a snapshot of the posters in this forum to see which party voters are heavily anti vaccine

    Don't you need a vaccine before you claim someone is anti vaccine?

    The anti vaccine people are those who actually think for themselves rather than listen to bureaucratic propaganda. Yeah, a higher percentage of those who think for themselves are in the conservative/Republican camp.

    BTW, I have gotten the vaccinations, but couldn’t care less what other people do.

    ~ That is true for an actual vaccine. What we are getting so far are short-acting therapeutics with unknown side-effects. So far it appears the " vaccinated " are just as likely to contract the virus.

    Are you really going with that old debunked claim that they're not really vaccines?

    What is their "thinking" based on? Just a misguided "distrust" with nothing to support isn't "thinking" at all. It's almost medieval "thought".

    You mean the ones who think for themselves that the vaccine causes people to become magnetic, can pass on spike proteins through their skin and breath to those people around them and can also be tracked by Gates?

    The only thing debunked is calling gene therapy a vaccine.
    It doesn't protect you from Covid
    It doesn't stop you from getting Covid
    It doesn't stop you from spreading Covid
    It doesn't provide you with as much immunity as people who already had Covid
    And it needs boosters every 6 months just to relevant to the virus.

    This is your definition of a vaccine?

    Nope. They’re deciding on thoughtful analysis of comparative risks.

    Nope. You make the mistake of thinking people who don’t reach the same conclusions as you do so because they are uneducated. You couldn’t be more wrong.

    They typically are uneducated. Those who are (whatever that means) aren't bright or discerning.

    So, yeah, I'm right.

    Wow, strong opinion. I don’t suppose you have any evidence to support that. Unless you mean credentialed rather than educated. That would be another mistake on your part.

    LOL. So you're saying that those who say that the vaccine causes people to become magnetic, can pass on spike proteins through their skin and breath to those people around them and can also be tracked by Gates are uneducated?
