And, he's not affecting anyone else.
Not getting vaccinated does affect others if the ICU's become filled and other people's treatment is affected, and the medical centers are swamped.
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

Of course. I sort of meant to imply that his illness will NOT not have an impact on others. My bad.

I will defend (though not respect) his choice. It's totally up to him (other than the possibility of infecting others, of course), but this kind of rhetoric is just plain stupid and ignorant.
Whenever politicians start talking about 'Big Pharma' you know that any chance of sensible debate is gone.
Presumably, he's a defender of 'Small Pharma'? Does he support the rights of people to cook up stuff in their garage?
What about 'Intermediate Pharma', I wonder? A couple of guys who discovered something in the kitchen, and then get a patent?

I don't want him to die or anything, but you'd think getting sick would maybe have knocked some sense into him. Apparently not.

How is the startup Moderna “big pharma” but the multi-billion dollar Regeneron not?
Probably a failure of my own imagination
It's all about imperial vs. metric:
1 West = 0.7 Flynn's.
And that's science!

It’s always something.

Snort. From the RWEC:
West’s opinion would be easier to digest if he weren’t also promoting folk remedies alongside legit antivirals, though, and if he hadn’t argued yesterday, incoherently, that he prefers antibody treatments to the vaccine because vaccine sales benefit Big Pharma. Who does he think is making the antibody treatments, Santa’s elves?
I’m also trying to parse the logic of believing the vaccines are “dangerous” while calling for them to be given to illegal immigrants.

I would bet e everything in my pocket the those of you throwing darts at Allen West have never once listened to what the man actually has to say.
You'd lose your money. I met the man once when I was on the National Mall (downtown DC). I was manning a water station for a running group and he was out for his morning jog. I offered him some water but he said he doesn't believe in dihydrogen monoxide.
(That is a true story, except for the last sentence)

What does that have to do with listening to Allen West?
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

@jolly I talked to him. I listened to him talk to me. Thus, I won Larry's bet.
Much in the same way you "won" about the election - by cheating. You know damned well what I meant, and you know damned well I wasn't talking about a brief chat about the weather.

We actually talked about politics. I believe this was in 2011 and he was on the radar as a potential GOP candidate. BTW I didn't "win" the election, the candidate I voted for lost fair and square, as did yours.
