She's probably not too far off for the most part

Tennessee’s former leading vaccine official, Michelle Fiscus, said that white, male, rural conservatives refuse the COVID-19 vaccine and are willing to risk the lives of others and themselves out of spite for the left. The former Tennessee Department of Health (TDH) Vaccine and Preventable Diseases and Immunization Program (VPDIP) director made these statements during an interview with PBS. 

“But I think the other thing in Tennessee, and I think in a lot of our Southern states that’s happening, is this ideology that if you get this vaccine, you’re somehow placating to the left part of the political spectrum,” said Fiscus. “And so what we’re actually seeing is our most hesitant population in Tennessee is the white, male, rural conservatives, and that they are stating that they’re not going to get the vaccine really out of spite and are willing to put their own lives and the lives of the people that they love at risk because they feel that if they get the vaccine, then they have placated the left or done what the Biden Administration wants them to do.”

*****

I have to say that even if the vaccine was proven to be completely safe, I'd still refuse to take it if the government told me to, I don't care which party was in power.
But what the woman fails to mention is just a few months ago Trump himself told everybody the vaccine was safe and pleaded with people to take it, so that blows her theory out of the water.

  1. This woman isn't very smart. How hard is it to find the real data and not just follow rules?

  2. Never let a fact get in the way of the narrative.

  3. Racist witch says what? Black people have shunned the vaccine, perhaps 2/3rds of them reject it. I wonder why.

    "First of all, I hope like hell that we have a vaccine. But discovering a safe vaccine is not enough if it gets distributed the same way Trump's testing and PPE have gotten distributed. The road from approval to injection is a long road, and we need a plan," --Joe Biden Sept. 2020

    "I would not trust Donald Trump and it would have to be a credible source of information that talks about the efficacy and the reliability of whatever he's talking about. I will not take his word for it. He wants us to ingest bleach," --Kamala Harris Sept. 2020

    1. Nailed it - last figure I saw, 23% of blacks got vaxed, leaving 77%...

      Also, wouldn't vax id be harder to get than say free state id, available online and used to VOTE??!?

      My body my choice.
      IDs are racist.

      The left's own mantras are biting them on their own asses.

  4. I have to agree with you, wirecutter! I come by my attitude genetically. My grandfather, whom I never met, died of alcohol poisoning. He never drank until prohibition. When the Gov't said he could not - he did. Whether he died from bathtub hootch or intentional gov't poisoning of liquor (yes, they did), I'll never know.

  5. It's an experimental drug. I'm too old to go back to experimenting with drugs. We're all going to get COVID-19 sooner or later and some of us won't make it. Life is tough and at the end we all die. Don't submit, resist.

  6. Must be a member of the Demwit Party. She seems to think that we white male conservatives are incapable of researching, reading, critical thinking, and making informed decisions for ourselves. And therein lies the distinction between the right and the left. They truly believe that we are ignorant reactionary people who have no grasp of the real world... and I believe they are evil people who don't understand the depths of their evil and wrong ideas about the world.

    No, I'm not refusing the experimental drugs out of spite, I have done due diligence and find that all the products available are injurious and in some cases lethal.

    According to the VAERS database, over 11,000 people have died as a direct result of taking one of the "vaccines." Since VAERS is a voluntary reporting system, the number could really be over 40,000. A doctor friend last night told me that many doctors don't even know about the VAERS reporting system.

  7. Because it’s experimental I will not get the jab. Because it’s unproven I will not get the jab. Because the government has used Goebbels and Stalin propaganda techniques to convince me to get the jab… just makes me even more resolved to not get the jab.

    1. The reasons to NOT get jabbed grows, outweighing any threat or reason to getting the jab.
      Forcing the jab? I'll be your huckleberry.

    2. Next order will be “Shut up and get in the boxcar!”

      Just wait until we start using Stalin's other techniques. Then you'll beg us to stop giving you the jab.

  8. Placation has nothing to do with it, you scrunt. It's that we are smart enough to be very suspicious of your motives.

  9. This is just prejudice. If she wanted to work with facts, they're out there, and they show that blacks and hispanics have the lowest vax rates in the country. See https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#vaccination-demographics-trends.

  10. The claim that you are putting other people at risk by not getting vaccinated is false. The Covid vaccine doesn't work in the same way as a conventional vaccine. It doesn't prevent you from contracting the virus or from passing it on, it only reduces the severity of the symptoms if you do get it.

  11. I’ll not do an experimental mRNA “vaccine” ( therapeutic)......
    that only works to lessen symptoms....while turning you into a super spreader....

    I’ll continue with this therapeutic/prophylaxis.....

  12. Her firing had nothing to do with her attempts to funnel state money into her personal non profit.
    181K salary just was not enough.

  13. I remember when they taught kids in school to resist peer pressure to take drugs. And to resist peer pressure in general. Jumping off the bridge with everyone else was considered stupid.

  14. I just found out that my youngest sister has been suffering malady after malady after getting the shot in April. Kidney problems, eye problems and the latest, shingles.

    But, but, but the shot is safe AND effective, despite the 11 thousand dead from shot complications and more "breakthrough" covid cases than you can count.

    Unvaccinated people might not be who the media tell you they are, new data reportedly shows.

  16. If for no other reason, the fact they won't even discuss natural immunity in those that already had it, still wanting to force the jab on them...a prudent person has to ask why? Why throw away a century of knowledge and compel people to take a poorly tested compound with no long term studies? There are plenty of other reasons, most importantly children, but this one sticks out glaringly.

  17. Out of "spite for the left?"
    It has more to do with this regimes inability to tell the truth and governments general willingness to kill whoever doesn't comply or gets in the way.
    A free man need explain jack shit to anyone.

  18. Across the board in every state the lowest percentage getting the jab are POC specifically Hispanic and black. Her narrative is full of sh*t but what else is new.

  19. "just a few months ago Trump himself told everybody the vaccine was safe and pleaded with people to take it, so that blows her theory out of the water."

    No. No he didn't. The truth is always what we say it is, at the exact moment we say it is. All else is falsehoods and lies.

  20. I will keep saying this:
    * fire every female from every job
    .
    Do not allow any female to operate any equipment more complex than a sewing machine or oven.

  21. What kind of sick fiend politicizes medicine? People aren't taking it because it is not safe, it is experimental, and most of all THE HARD DATA SHOWS THEY ARE WORSE THAN THE DISEASE AND DO NOT WORK AT ALL.

    In Alberta there was a lawsuit where the government admitted they can not provide evidence that SARS-Cov-2 even exists. There are only 2 reasons that would be the case and both are immoral and illegal (secret weapon or just the flu). This is now in the official record of that court case.
