Look, this is a really weird decision that I'm sure has some dumb explanation like "what if he has to go to the registrar's office in person?" But his personally stated reason for not getting vaccinated is basically "meh, don't really feel like it." Just get it, asshole.
It’s amazing how people who spit poison at everyone are suddenly thin skinned when you call someone an asshole because he’s too lazy to get vaccinated and would rather get kicked out of college.
“Way to convince him.”

I focus my efforts on people who are hesitant to get it. This guy even said he’s not concerned about dangers. He just doesn’t wanna. Yuck.
There are many reason that make intellectual sense to me for why someone would be hesitant or resistant to getting vaccinated. Being a brat isn't one of them.

I said this last week but something health officials, including Fauci, should have done way more often and should still be doing is answer "I don't know" to any sort of predictive question about when certain things will happen with regards to covid. Because they don't know.
Will we need boosters?
I don't know.
Will there be another wave in X?
I don't know.
When can we expect--
I don't know.
Instead it's always stuff like "I foresee" and "in all likelihood" and "probably," and the hit rate on those predictions would have bankrupted them in Vegas.

Utter horseshit argument. I'm big on vaccines, but comparing this ever-shifting situation to flat Earth is exactly the opposite of what should be happening. I find some people's motives understandable and others infuriating but it is absolutely not a monolith of stupid people.
We haven't even decided how many doses of the stuff we should be getting!
I mean, look at stuff like this. Acting like the literal only reason to not roll your sleeve up instantly is that you're deranged is so fucking disingenuous.

That story about ERs being clogged up by ivermectin ODs is poorly source and very suspect and I'd be careful of it until there was more evidence than "some doctor told us that it was happening at other hospitals."
And scene.
Anyone who does the real type of fact-checking nowadays understands how endemic the problem of rereporting is. Hunting down the original source for a story can be a rabbit hole a dozen links deep. Outlets just report that "other outlets have reported" something. Nobody checks.

This is why I'm unimpressed by people who try to skirt criticism by saying they got threats. I get threats like this all the time and I'm not a public media figure. I'm just some dude with a bunch of followers on social media.
I'm obviously not downplaying either the seriousness of threats or the seriousness of the emotional distress they cause. But you're not special for getting them and they're definitely not the fault of people who are just criticizing you.
When it's some burner that was opened last week and has three tweets I don't even give it a second thought but this account has been around a decade and it seems like a person using their own name. That stuff feels weirder.

Alternatively, the press torched their own credibility, even in the eyes of many people who hate Trump. Their utter incompetence did nothing but hinder efforts to actually go after him for things he deserved.
This isn't some theory out of thin air. Plenty of mainstream reporters felt safe after Trump lost talking about the atmosphere that cheered Resistancy overstatements on Trump and actively tamped down any attempt at nuance.
You see the hangover effects of this every day. Some of those same people expected the reverse attitude towards Biden, and the fact that he isn't an Obamaesque media darling is causing some rude awakenings. Look at all the shit Jake Tapper took recently.

I thought he was joking but we are actually using blade flechette munitions now???
What a great way to cut down on collateral damage. It's an inert projectile - no kaboom. Kill everyone in one room and the next room over everyone is fine.
phrasing, tee hee.
