Not sure if this is the right forum for this. Maybe it should be in QZ or the Pit. Mods, please move if deemed necessary.
A few days ago, someone on Twitter posted a link to this articleHoward Stern Proves Democrats Want Unvaccinated Trump Voters Dead :
At first, I thought it was a parody, but now I don’t think so. For one, it’s on Breitbart. For two, the author, one John Nolte, seems to be a known right-wing commentator.
I thought I’d summarize the gist of the piece by providing a few quotes from it:
In a country where elections are decided on razor-thin margins, does it not benefit one side if their opponents simply drop dead?
If I wanted to use reverse psychology to convince people not to get a life-saving vaccination, I would do exactly what Stern and the left are doing… I would bully and taunt and mock and ridicule you for not getting vaccinated, knowing the human response would be, Hey, fuck you, I’m never getting vaccinated!
Could it be…? Could it possibly be that the left has manipulated huge swathes of Trump voters into believing they are owning the left by not taking the life-saving Trump Vaccine?
Final note: How many of you were aware the CDC believes that 99.5 percent of those dying are unvaccinated? I bet not many of you. So why would the metric that is the most convincing one not be all over the place?
I admit that I couldn’t havw told you that 99.5% of those dying are unvaccinated, but I could have told you it was at least 95%. The notion that anyone who pays the slightest attention to the news wouldn’t have heard this just boggles my imagination. I guess this means Fox News never got around to reporting it.
I’m also wondering at how much attention Howard Stern gets in the article. If asked to give a list of leading progressives, I would never have thought to include him.
