Let's talk about Trump nominating Rep. Matt Gaetz for Attorney General.
Is he qualified? No.
Does he have prosecutorial experience? No. . . unless you count being investigated for child sex trafficking by the DOJ and House Ethics as 'experience'. abcnews.go.com/US/witness-t...

Alot of antivaxers make the argument that the data for COVID vaccine effectiveness is skewed because vaccine numbers are 14 days past injection.
Let's see what mental gymnastics they come back with this time. Guarantee they won't bring any evidence...

They keep saying "But you are considered unvaccinated until 14 days after..." So explain this then..
This chart compares those with at least 2 doses of the Covid-19 vaccine to those with NO doses of the Covid-19 vaccine.
What is the next excuse?

Does SARS-CoV-2 vaccines carry a risk of myocarditis? Yes.
But the risk from myocarditis is higher and more severe from the SARS-CoV-2 virus in the unvaccinated.
(~5x higher risk)
It's been almost three years, what will their excuse be for this?

2 years later, there is still confusion from some people on excess deaths.
There’s not a single shred of evidence vaccines contributed to excess deaths.
Not one study!
Excess deaths tracked with COVID-19 surges!
Stop making up random stuff up.

Undeniable evidence!
From a 2-year study in Cyprus, Greece: excess deaths are linked to COVID-19, not vaccinations, involving >1M people.
Again, excess deaths correlated with COVID-19, not vaccines.
It's time to stop the misinformation, anti-vaxxers.

I still see a lot of people claiming bad batches
Sweden is 86% Vaccinated in 18-44 year olds
Had 3 Shots or Higher
Low excess death since vaccine
Negative excess deaths in 11-44 year olds.

Antivaxxers have long done this. Also, they equate criticism of their beliefs with a personal attack.
Plus disinformation purveyors always misrepresent debunking as an attack on free speech because, well, that's what they do
100% to this: “responding to disinformation is not about playing whack-a-troll or censoring. It’s about providing, surfacing, and teaching people how to find correct information. It’s about more speech, not less speech.”
