Plop your ass down in middle America or in the Bible Belt, and yes, you're ignorant as dirt.
As a matter of fact, I live on the edge of the Bible Belt of this country. It's not a lot different from what you call middle America. It is populated by a lot of ignorant social conservative and intolerant libertarians of convenience. Ignoramuses for the most part.

I'm sure it is. I hear a few assholes reside there, too.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

At times, I envy the Amish. Mennonites, too.
I learned to drive on roads with regular horse-and-buggy traffic. For about 4 decades, my mother was a social worker in an area with a significant Amish and Mennonite population.
Please, do go on about their saintlike way of life. I'm listening.

@Jolly let me ask a question... Will a Baccine Resistant strain be more likely to develop in an unvaccinated person where there’s less evolutionary pressure on the virus to mutate, or in somebody that is a breakthrough case)
As long as they can attack the host successfully, I would think they are less likely to mutate. Less likely, due to lack of antigenic shift right now, but viruses gotta virus and I don't see why we won't see an antigenic drift over time.
Now, once we get several mutations out there, the likelihood of shifts rather than drifts can arise, most likely from two different mutations infecting the body at the same time, causing some jumbling of the RNA.
And then, our vaccine may, or may not work.
BTW, all that stuff I just said and a dollar bill, will buy a small coffee at McDonald's...The dollar bill part is very important.

I didn't say it was saintlike. I said it is complicated in many ways, because of the skills needed to live it successfully. I don't think you could be stupid and succeed.

You want any examples of Amish goodfornothings, junkies, spousal abusers or anything else, just let me know.
The Amish aren't special. They're people who live differently, but they're still people.

And I'm equally sure you have. Like I said it's not a lot different from the Bible Belt and middle America with which you are familiar with and revere. Y'all feel right at home in around Caroline or Eckville, Alberta.

How can you be woke and a social justice leader and refuse to say? I’d love to hear that argument.

Depends on how shitty the people are who are asking, I'd guess. If I felt like the question was more like a pre-emptive attack I'd tell them to go to hell with their question, too.
And yes I still think those who are capable and should get vaccinated but still don't are fucking assholes.

Great point. That’s why the wokearati need to ask him and at least CNN surfaced it. Now CNN needs to follow up to be authentic.

I think Mr. James can do whatever he wants about the vaccine.
And I feel no desire to insult him if he chooses not to get it.
I don't care at all about his reasons or lack of reasons.
This is an essential quality of living free. I hope Mr. James never loses it.
And aside from the question of freedom, I think the possibility of him hurting any innocents by not getting the vaccine is so small as to be meaningless.

What is the role of public health in your view? Let’s say the pandemic hit the young and otherwise healthy are we all free to make our own decisions?

The role of public health is to be a lot more competent than they have been during this covid business.
Sadly the governments' health departments after a year are still trying to understand the scope of the problem. This is something they should have done within days. I guess you can attribute that to the fact that something like this hasn't happened since a long time ago.
Again, sadly, this incompetence makes individual freedom even more important.
I am still waiting to hear exactly what is the criteria for implementing various restrictions, and then the exact criteria for removing the restrictions. At the moment the criteria is the whims of the president and 50 governors.
It's too late to establish this criteria for covid-19, I hope they are working on the next one.
