and he believes that a certain amount of the population is supposed to be "wiped out". I just can't with these crazies. So does he not take antibiotics when he has a bacterial infection? No aspirin or Tylenol for a headache? If he had asthma would he decline an inhaler? What about high blood pressure? Would he turn that down too? Interestingly one of his comments was that a chunk of the population was supposed to die and it was just "part of evolution"? WUT? Evolution? The scientific fact that conservative Republicans don't believe in? The GOP doesn't bring their best these days. Or maybe they do and it is just a horror show.

I am a GOPer and I DO believe in evolution over creationism. But I may be an anomaly. Who knows? I am also an atheist. As for this person, I think he is nuts, and that is a blanket statement I am making not knowing necessarily every word of what he said or in what context it was said in. But it certainly sounds like crazy talk to me. Just my opinion. As for vaccines? I believe in them. Most have been quite proven to be effective in nearly eradicating a number of deadly and debilitating diseases. Granted, on the Covid vaccine my thoughts differ. You would THINK I'd be all over it considering Trump is the one who made it possible. Had he not fast tracked it we'd not have had anything to offer to public for at least 3 years. Either way. The speed at which the vaccination was put to market is actually my problem with it. We just don't know enough about it to make any real solid assertion as to what the long term impact is. That said, I also do not oppose anyone getting the vaccine that wants it. And I will wholeheartedly agree that this guy you are citing needs to find his way to a loony bin and fast.

@NJChicaa One thing I have always thought I was clear on is that I do not tow the party line and I do not agree with conservatives or republicans just because I happen to be one of them. I even chided Trump MANY times and quite readily when I disagreed with him. And I DID disagree with him on certain issues. It IS nice to agree with you from time to time. Refreshing actually. lol

A lot of people, while in the minority, feel that the vaccine was rushed, not properly tested and what it does in the body might be harmful in time.

Yes it was rushed. It received emergency FDA approval because well people were and are DYING.

The MyPillow guy makes FAR more sense than this guy does and I would not even want to put them into the same category.

Many people I know only used natural herbs, plants and foods. To each his own.

I think the key to this whole thing was vitamin D. In nearly ALL cases of contractions and deaths the "victims" were vitamin D deficient.

@porwest almost everyone is vitamin D deficient--especially women. My levels are always low and I am a beach baby who LOVES to lay out in the sun
