650,000 people die of the flu every year. Do you support governments forcing everyone to take a flu vaccine, and if not why are you an evil anti-vaxxer who wants to murder 650,000 people a year?
My point of course is not that Covid is the flu, it's that everyone who supports vaccine mandates has a line at which they believe they not be justified. It just happens that I and many others do not believe Covid is the line where such measures are just.
It's not that vaccine mandates are never justifiable under any circumstances; a sufficiently deadly virus with a sufficiently excellent vaccine could make a solid case that such intrusive measures are necessary. It's that this particular virus and vaccines don't make such a case.
Three statements about mandates from her. As far I as I could tell, she hasn’t said anything about lockdowns being bad, so I misremembered.
Yeah I was wrong. I remembered her saying something a few years ago about how much money she could make saying covid was fake and the lockdowns and vaccines were a Bill Gates plot and she wasn't going to go there, but she did jump into skepticism without going whole hog.
Caitlin Johnstone is good. She gets a little excited in her posts and tweets sometimes, but whom amongst us hasn't?
Nah, she really isn’t. Aside from that she was spreading Pizzagate conspiracy nonsense as well as anti-lockdown/anti-vaccine mandate statements.
