SHOULD YOUNG PEOPLE TAKE THE COVID VACCINE?

• It's perfectly reasonable for a young person to decline the vaccine because it's a two course vaccine.
• The first course is so unpleasant with such bad side effects the drug manufacturers have to specifically train doctors to explicitly warn people, because their fear is that people won't take the second vaccine. SOURCE: CNBC
• Researchers found clinical symptoms manifest in only 21% of infections in 10 to 19-year-olds, meaning 79% of middle schoolers and teens have no symptoms if they contract COVID. SOURCES: Nature, MSN

POPE FRANCIS IS A COMMUNIST @$HOLE

• In his new book with twenty-two Amazon reviews, Pope Francis criticizes liberty-minded conservatives. SOURCE: Amazon
• Keep in mind, in the past the pope has said Christians should never seek to convert unbelievers, that tax cuts are "sin" if the wealthy get them, and compared Trump's immigration policies to King Herod's massacre of children. SOURCES: DISRN, DailyMail, MEAWW
• But here are some direct quotes from the dumbass.
  • CLAIM: "Some groups protested, refusing to keep their distance, marching against travel restrictions — as if measures that governments must impose for the good of their people constitute some kind of political assault on autonomy or personal freedom,"
  • TRUTH: Some of the worst atrocities in human history have been imposed by the government for the good of the people.
  • Like Stalin. "We did not build this society in order to restrict personal liberty but in order that the human individual may feel really free… It is difficult for me to imagine what "personal liberty" is enjoyed by an unemployed person, who goes about hungry, and cannot find employment. Real liberty can exist only where exploitation has been abolished, where there is no oppression of some by others, where there is no unemployment and poverty, where a man is not haunted by the fear of being tomorrow deprived of work, of home and of bread."

  • TRUTH 2: Even today 51% of Russians admire Stalin. SOURCE: Levada
    • MAO killed tens of millions of people, for… the good of the people. SOURCE: Guardian
    • People still love Mao there: "Shedding tears as he saw Mao's rubbery cadaver up-close for the first time, Huang told the newspaper: "Our generation has a very deep attachment to Mao, who created a harmonious society in which people could trust each other with no tricks at all"
  • POPE CLAIM: "You'll never find such people protesting the death of George Floyd, or joining a demonstration because there are shanty towns where children lack water or education, or because there are whole families who have lost their income."
  • Endorsed by Raul Castro. SOURCE: BBC
  • POPE CLAIM: "Some media have used this crisis to persuade people that foreigners are to blame, that coronavirus is little more than a little bout of flu, that everything will soon return to what it was before, and that restrictions necessary for people's protections amount to an unjust demand of an interfering state. There are politicians who peddle these narratives for their own gain."
  • TRUTH: COVID lockdowns shut down 15 million small businesses in their first few months.
    • But companies like Alphabet, Amazon, and Facebook have managed to increase profits. SOURCES: Axios, TheVerge, WSJ, DeccanHerald
    • And billionaires saw their net worth increase by half a trillion dollars. SOURCE: WSWS, Business Insider
