The mind boggles that seemingly smart, inquisitive people can be anti-vaccine.


99% of hospitalized covid infections are unvaccinated and Duffman asks why it matters. Don't ask him if he thinks he's smart. Unless you want to hear a dumb answer.

Did you study hard?


Are there any Cliffs notes for that test?

Can I use pen or must I bring a Number 2 pencil?

Do they grade on the curve?

Reminder: he doesn’t think those numbers sound right. We need to trust him on issues of science and statistics with his no college degree.

Duffman's college educated, I believe. I don't know if he mentioned graduating or not, but I am almost sure he mentioned being in college before.

Doesn't matter. I might give someone the benefit of the doubt for awhile if I know they are highly educated, but it won't last if they keep claiming crazy things.

You mean like college educated people who all of the sudden claim there are more than 2 genders? Or that we can just give everyone $1000 a month like magic and everyone will be better off?

I do have my degree, though it did not teach what is real. Iron and coke, chromium steel.....

Thing is a degree is a piece of paper. What matters is knowing how to think for oneself. Far too many people with degrees just hear something and say it must be true because "the scientist said it!" or someone in government told them it or some other someone said it. In fact, it seems the higher a degree a person has the more of a sheep they act like.

Knowing how to think is where it is at.

I'll agree with the importance of independent thinking. Unfortunately, without being able to conduct statistically meaningful research into some matters solo, sooner or later, you've got to trust someone.

DA' FAR RIGHT: Hydroxycholoroquine, Ivermectin, no Vaccines, some of the most vocal proponents literally dying of Covid.

DA' LEFT: Vaccines with significant data (and, again, I cannot counter this data working solo or be in any position to dispute it) pertaining to hospitalizations, fatalities and critical case rates. Most doctors and medical professionals backing them. Immunologists.

Going to have to go with DA' LEFT on this issue.

However, I do agree with the Right that they should have the choice not to get the vaccine if they don't want it...but then free association comes into play when it comes to employers demanding it, and what have you.
