Malarkey- 22 July

Today’s malarkey offering is…

When Anti-Vax Attacks Attack Back

Misgivings Malarkey
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were for vaccine hesitancy before they were against it. We’d say Biden is “old enough to remember,” but that may be only half-true.

Was their now-memory-holed pre-election posturing the kind of “misinformation” they now sic Big Tech on to censor? Was Biden-Harris 2020 responsible for “killing people?”

Root Cause Receipts
Glenn Greenwald resurfaced a Drew Holden thread from November “documenting the many prominent Dems who spent months aggressively casting doubt on the efficacy of the imminent COVID vaccine because they were worried it would benefit Trump.” 

“I wonder how many people these Dems literally killed with this vaccine skepticism?” Greenwald added fairly facetiously.

Enjoy this 2020 video refresher before it disappears.

Reap What You Sow
But as soon as the pandemic became their problem, the new administration effortlessly pivoted to “We Are The World” cause célèbre-mode. And now — rather than trying to persuade holdouts — they are their typical incredulous and condescending selves.

… But I Won’t Do That
Tongue-in-cheek, Stephen Miller paraphrased Jen Psaki’s pushback to (guess who?) FOX’s Peter Doocy, who asked the WH Press Secretary if her boss would consider enlisting ‘Orange Man’ to help encourage the hesitant: 

“We need everyone vaccinated. Nothing is off the table.

“Have you thought about calling the former president or having Biden make a statement giving his WH credit for the vaccine?

“Get the fuck out of here.”

I very very highly recommend everyone following the link to the Greenwald “resurfacing” of the Drew Holden thread. It is full of Democrat vaccine “hesitancy” and well worth the read.
