We will never understand why the vaccines got so political.

We get why the masks were political. Trump refused to wear them because he believed they make him look weak. Instead of thinking like an American president, one that is responsible and wants to set a good example, Trump chose to imitate a 2oth Century European dictator, a Mussolini, a Stalin, a Hitler, someone who thought that a leader needed to project “strength” above everything else. So we understand “how” masks got politicized.

We do not understand how vaccines got politicized. After all, Trump is still bragging about getting the vaccines done in months when it would have taken anyone else 5-10 years (Trump was just that good a scientist). But some MAGAs had no interest in the vaccine the moment that Biden said it was his goal and his promise that we could have a normal 4th of July if everyone got vaccinated.

Apparently, that’s all it took. The fact that Biden wanted people to get vaccinated was enough for some to go anti-vax (that is our guess). Candace Owens, one of those pretty women on the Right that are paid to be pretty while saying the ugliest of things, was an anti-vaxxer and now she’s paying the price. Just like Candace believed it was a person’s private right to not be vaccinated and was anti-vax herself, the private owner of a clinic in Aspen decided that she didn’t need to give Candace a COVID test.

That kicks so much ass we suspect that Candace is still too sore to sit down.

And soooo many more. It is awesome. Remember, the idea is to stop the spread. But if Candace had tested positive, but then walked around without a mask or didn’t follow directions, it would not have done any good in “stopping the spread.” Besides, she had other options.
