 So I'm not gonna pretend as if Matt Gaetz is the first Republican Politician or media figure in general to say what he's gonna say what we're gonna hear him say now But still it's getting to the point where I don't know How they live with themselves because they're basically just endangering the lives of their own base And you'd think that they would want their base around to continue voting for them But nonetheless, let's listen to what he has to say and then of course I think it's gonna be pretty apparent why it's stupid But if not, I'll break it down for you when we come back. Well, still the best vaccine we found is mother nature's vaccine It's contracting the virus That is what has provided the greatest protection the most durable protection over the longest period of time Okay, what do you have to do though in order to acquire said natural immunity Matt Gaetz explained to us What do you have to do? You have to risk your own health and get COVID-19 Does that sound good? I mean you can risk long-term health issues possibly death Or you can just get the fucking vaccine and you're gonna feel a little bit achy a little bit Chilled for a day or two and then you have immunity. It's just it's weird and what they're saying is incorrect It's natural immunity paired with vaccine immunity That is the strongest in terms of response I believe this is what a meta analysis released by the CDC in early November concluded So the data has been out there for a while, but it doesn't it doesn't matter The conclusion has consistently been from public health experts that getting vaccinated is important regardless if you already have natural immunity get vaccinated but instead you have people who are truly moronic like Dennis Prager who They're going out of their way to contract COVID-19 like Dennis Prager admitted on camera that he someone who is probably at risk But wealthy so he has access to good therapeutics He went out of his way to contract COVID-19. He'd get close to people He'd hug them because he wanted it because that's how badly he wanted natural immunity But that's such a stupid thing to do because you can get immunity without risking your life It's just I don't know what to say It's a level of stupidity that is almost Unbelievable yet at the same time contradictory totally believable for the modern GOP now I mean Matt Gaetz even though he said that he's not an anti-vaxxer per se And given what he's gonna say in this article as stupid as it is I have to argue that he is probably more reasonable than most Conservatives on this issue so Newsweek's Kami pedroha explains the representative from Florida said during a teta-teta with Georgia Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene on Thursday's episode of his new podcast firebrand with Matt Gaetz So that sounds lovely that he is not a person who criticizes those who choose to take the vaccine very very reasonable Wow, you know, there are people like my own parents who continued who for them They're a little older They've got other complicated medical conditions and it was the smart decision for them and for people in that Circumstance where it makes sense I hope that they availed themselves to the best that modern technology has to offer Gaetz volunteered his parents positive vaccination status after Angrily refusing to disclose his own vaccination status just last month Reportedly when a CNN reporter asked him to comment whether or not he had been given his jabs Gaetz cut the reporter off Saying that's very nosy of you then adding. I think we should be talking more about freeing, Brittany. Okay Free Brittany then I mean that was last month to be fair, but I mean nobody disagrees with that What a weird deflection tactic pivot to this thing that basically nobody disagrees with yes, we should we should free Brittany I'm glad that she's free. Awesome. Now disclose your status But he won't now just saying that maybe some people should get vaccinated believe it or not is more reasonable than a Lot of folks in the GOP because they'll just say don't get vaccinated because it's poison It'll give you 5g so at least he's not playing into that conspiratorial mindset here that much But let's let's be very clear He's anti-vax and what he promotes discourages vaccination Which is a detriment to the health of the GOP base and also his constituents now ask yourself this question Why do people like Matt Gaetz Tucker Carlson Dave Rubin? Why do they get so offended when you ask them whether or not they're vaccinated? Why do they refuse to disclose their vaccination status? It's almost like they have something to hide right It's because They're probably vaccinated now if it is the case that They admit that they're vaccinated after for months espousing anti-vax rhetoric discouraging vaccinations that even the GOP's Brain-dead base might think wait a second That's a little bit suspicious. Why would he tell me not to take the vaccine? But then he got the vaccine himself something's up here. Maybe I should do a little bit more research into this Maybe I was let astray And again, I mean not all GOP voters Will come to that conclusion because most of them just gobble up whatever bullshit is sold to them by the republican party But still I mean they look like frauds I mean, I don't find it offensive ask me what my vaccination status is I'm double-vaxed up got my booster. Yeah, I can share that Because I'm not lying to my audience. My audience knows where I stand They know that I am vaccinated and I want them to get vaccinated because I want them to protect themselves But people like uh matt gates. He'll talk the talk but in actuality. He's not walking the walk We know he's vaccinated We know that he jumped that fucking line as soon as he was eligible In fact, he's a member of congress So I'm pretty sure that members of congress got the vaccine before anyone else. So, um, you know that he's vaccinated But still what they're doing is So shockingly stupid because at this point, they know they've seen the statistics The most vaccine has an importion of the population in the u.s Is conservatives So you're endangering your own fucking base and they just they don't care I mean They shouldn't just care because it's endangering their base But they should just care because Lives are saved by the vaccine hundreds of thousands of lives in 2021 alone were saved because we have these vaccines So it shouldn't just be a well I should want to protect people who I align with ideologically it should just be I want to protect people and save lives because i'm a good person because saving lives is objectively good Regardless of that person as a republican or democrat saving lives good Taking lives bad unnecessary deaths bad But we're dealing with a republican party that is so extreme That they're cutting off their own noses despite their faces and it's fucking stupid He's endangering his own base and if you're a gop voter and you take these people seriously You are doing it to your own detriment get the fucking vaccine because all the people or most of the people I guarantee you who are telling you not to take it have gotten the vaccine themselves. That should tell you something It says they're frauds and they're just virtue signaling and they don't actually believe a single fucking word that they're saying Stop taking these goddamn people seriously for fuck's sake
