The antivax rally took place in front of the NYC mayor's home.

The Daily Show’s’ Jordan Klepper Embarrasses Anti-Vax Protesters in NYC

The video is about 6 minutes long.

Two of the highlights in the story

"One of the people Klepper faced down was Edwin De La Cruz, who’s running four New York City Council on the Republican ticket. De La Cruz, clad in an ill-fitting suit, claimed, “The science is still new. We still have question marks. We rushed the science,” prompting Klepper to fire back, “We were moving at warp-speed… so Donald Trump rushed it.” De La Cruz had no response, and after stumbling, replied, “How about we switch places and I start attacking you?”

"
The wildest exchange involved a a woman in a “F*CK CANCEL CULTURE” T-shirt. Klepper approached her and queried, “Maybe you can help me out: I’m seeing signs that say, ‘Vaccine Mandates Are Fascism,’ and also signs that say, ‘Vaccine Mandates Are Communism.’ Which one is it?”

“It’s both,” she replied.
“It’s both? Those are diametrically-opposed ideologies,” he countered."

Oh man he's back with a new one. I only wish this was like an hour long.


Jordan Klepper is a national treasure. His shit at Trump rallies is epic. Those people are so fucking stupid it hurts my brain and he makes it look so easy, cause it is, but he does it with more style and more panache than anybody else could. Give him all the Emmy's.

Are they, though? They generally fly the flag of a different, and non-existent country. So I'm not sure that they believe that they are US citizens like those of us that are.

Fair point, food for thought. Technically they're my fellow Americans I guess, and claim to love the flag....even hugging it from time to time. But still...

I think *finally* we are hitting some floor of reasoning where rural communities are starting to really feel this. People they actually know are getting sick and/or dying. A nurse at a local rural hospital they trust is telling them "this is bad". That's what is happening here in Oregon. The southern part of the state is getting fucked sideways with low vaccination rates and shit mitigation restrictions. They are in terrible shape hospital wise. News programs are on blast with some pretty dire and hard hitting messaging from hospitals and ICU's giving the real scoop. It's finally starting to connect and people are beginning to take this seriously....

It seems like just yesterday when Foxnews was praising the "amazing" operation warp speed. “streamline the FDA Approval process to get needed medicines to the public faster” is just a fleeting memory.

Poor, poor Fox News hosts: forced to think in order to come up with a new reason why their viewers should be taking horse medications, instead of getting vaccinated!

When you’ve lost Alex Jones…

Trump ‘maybe not that bright,’ says Alex Jones after the former president defended vaccines


Lolol!
Yeah but Alex is saying he isn't bright because he is advising people to get vaccinated. Jones belongs in prison. Another one skating by on the "no reasonable person would believe me" bullshit excuse.

You have a selection bias of those who actually paid/took time out of their lives to attend that. There's a pretty solid floor of 20-30% of the population that is juts a lost cause. That's them. There's still another 20% or so of GOP voters you can talk some reason into. Or they see enough people fuck around and die that they realize maybe it's not the best path to take as well.

Your view is way too optimistic toward these brain-dead people. These are the ones that will be screaming at doctors they don't want to be intubated, cause it's all a fucking hoax.

Local news just covered that all the farm supply places, such as Southern States, and Tractor Supply are completely out of horse and cattle dewormer, even though it's all a fucking hoax. Don't want no "unknown" vaccine in me, but ready to take a dewormer dose designed for a 1,000 animal.

No doubt those people exist. But you also are getting a curated view there. There's 330 million people in the US. Even reaching 10 million people could be 100,000 lives saved.

Is it just me or was that lady's shirt on backwards?

Already in the US 73.2% of adults have received at least one shot. While we see many stories about the unvaccinated, it's this 30%. It's spreading fast since they are concentrated in certain regions.

They are the enemy in our ongoing--and probably never-ending, and likely without actual battles--civil war is how I look at it. I didn't start it but I'm not going to sit there and be slapped in the face either. Never-ending because I don't see how the rush toward conspiracy belief and "facts" born of false realities is ever going to change at this point. Not until climate change or something else sets us back 1000 years. It's win or be dominated; hold out a hand of bipartisanship and draw back a stump.

I tell you, it's straight out of The Golden Bough. When the cult god appears to weaken and stray from the true path, the followers have to kill and eat him, such that his Godly essence can find a new, stronger, host. Trump needs to be careful at his rallies from now on. He's a hostage as much as a cult leader.
