Almost every death since spring 2021 (excess shots in US at that point) has been due to anti-vaxx lunacy. That's a lot of death. And the vast majority of deaths have been over the age of 80 vaccinated and unvaccinated. Forcing kids to get vaccinated for a disease with a statistically zero percent chance of killing them is wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He's just being anti-anything involving COVID that feels mainstream to him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jehurey 3,308 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Cooke encompasses the entire venn diagram of "problem people" since the whole COVID thing began. because there are DIFFERENT types of COVID deniers. -There's the people who are clearly just focused on wanting to blame China, or blame "powerful interests" working within China, and there's a conspiracy to unleash the virus. And then there's: -Masks don't work, none of the social distancing and restrictions work. In fact, they make it worse. And they affect our freedum!!!! And then there's Vaccine-based conspiracy, people and those are broken down into two sections: -The Vaccine is dangerous, we don't know what it does 10-20 years from now!!! It was RUSHED THROUGH!!! -The vaccine is meant to control people, its a big ol' scam by the pharmaceutical industry. And then there's the people that simply just want to downplay COVID and the concept of a novel coronavirus in which the human species has had little contact with before: -"COVID is nothing. Its just the flu. SO what people get sick? That happens all the time. SO what if people die from getting the flu. That happens all the time. This isn't anything major." I give them a general name: COVID Feet-Draggers. They just drag their feet on any of those talking points. Cooke has, throughout every single part of this pandemic, adopted every single one of those positions. It really is amazing how much bitterness and contempt he holds. He's wrong today. He was wrong two years ago. He was still wrong a year ago. He will remain wrong 5 years from now. When people are mocking and making fun of these COVID feet-draggers ten years from now, he's going to keep his mouth shut and be silent, as those other adults are laughing. I'll be laughing at him, as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
