All the News that Fits, Vaccine Nation Dept. 0
At AL.com, Paul Gattis reports on doctors’ efforts to quell myths about and promote vaccination against COVID-19 in Alabama, the least vaccinated state in the country. It is an uphill battle.
Here’s an excerpt:
“I remember one particular elderly female who was literally trembling,” she said. “She was trembling because she knew COVID was running rampant but she started to cry because she was tuned in to some media stations and she was terrified of getting the vaccine because of all the reasons she felt that the vaccine would also be detrimental to her health. So therefore, an innocent human being was just paralyzed for making a decision for herself.”

Southern), who has never lost interest in it, and who has ancestors who held slaves (as the saying goes), I can attest what Hawley would pass off as America’s history is a fable, a tale told by an idiot, unmoored from fact and adrift in a sea of white supremacy. (I’ll stop now, lest I sink into profanity).
We are a society of stupid.
