Creationists proving Darwin's theory on natural selection: the sweetest irony.

@Li ~ It's certainly possible with all these morons not getting vaccinated or following common sense CDC guidelines that they could cause a much more deadly variant to develop...but over 610,000 Americans dead already from the current strains is plenty terrible enough, don't you think? Also, the lack of humanity and wanton, callous disregard for human life and suffering they display for both those victims more vulnerable and not as vulnerable to Covid-19 is appallingly sociopathic.

@vicrattlehead8417 ~ Who's this "we," Doc? You're certainly not listening to the medical experts or the science. And you're certainly not exercising common sense, either. But you've sure proven the point of my comment, if unwittingly.

@larryj1048 ~ Not surprisingly, turns out "Not Sure" has a new YouTube account only six months old and is therefore most likely just another one of Putin's sock-puppet propaganda pawns sowing disinformation to kill Americans. I stopped responding to the nonsense, because they get paid extra $$$$ for eliciting responses.

"The secret of freedom is educating the people, whereas the secret of tyranny is keeping them ignorant." ~Robespierre “Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities” ~ Voltaire “The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence." ~ Charles Bukowski "Want of care does us more damage than want of knowledge." ~ Ben Franklin, from Poor Richard's Almanack Those who scorn public health guidelines during a deadly global pandemic and confuse a grievous public health issue with "essential" liberty to kill and harm themselves and their fellow citizens--as well as their nation--sorely lack both care and knowledge. They are also sorely lacking in common sense, something else about which Mr. Franklin was quite keen. Mr. Franklin was also one our nation's first scientists--yet these modern-day knuckleheads who ought know better refute science! Were he alive today, he would be rather dismayed, disgruntled, and disgusted with the fascist anti-science Republican cult, that much is crystal clear.

We may never know the origins of COVID-19, but we do know that Toxic Trump, Republicans, and Reich-wing media are responsible for the senseless deaths of over a half-million Americans by politicizing a deadly pandemic, through gross incompetence and homicidal criminal negligence, and by spreading disinformation and callous, wanton disregard for human life. They are also responsible for most of the unnecessary suffering and long-term adverse health outcomes caused to millions of Americans contracting COVID-19. And they are responsible for the very costly unnecessary economic loss to America and Americans resulting from their words and actions.

@Alan Jay ~ No. No. No. No. You're hitting zero for four, Doc! Just another Trumpette snowflake triggered by the truth. Sad. Plus, you're engaging in cancel culture and projection. So you're hypocritical and pathetic, besides.

Republicans: "We're killing democracy, America, our economy, and ourselves...so we can keep it great!"

@Larkon979 ~ Sure thing, Doc, and I'm Bugs Bunny----see my picture? California recently became the world's fifth largest economy under Democratic leadership, bigger than any other state in the U.S., bigger than 180 other nations in the world. California also produces a good portion of the nation's food, more than any other state, as well as being the nation's technology and entertainment hub. We got Republicans in my state trying to block and impede legal voters from voting, engaging in egregious gerrymandering, trying to cheat to win elections, besides the minor mistakes in mailing out ballots. We got skyrocketing unemployment, homelessness, price increases on food and goods, a shrinking economy, and crime (all of which began or have been exacerbated under Trump and Republican leadership). To top it off, we got massive Republican corruption. But that's all beside the point, because this video and my comment isn't about any of that, and all you're doing is engaging in dishonest Whataboutism to deflect. Grow some integrity and get a clue----not some mindless fascist Republican cult of seditious terrorists.

Education to the fascist Republican cult means programming lies, fears, and hate into people, while discouraging critical reasoning, independent thought, and objectivity. It's killing both Americans and America.

@carrieb5711 ~ That's precisely what they're demonstrating. Suggest it as much deliberate obtuseness, aka, willful ignorance. Or, as my grandmother would have put it, pig-headed stupidity. Nearly all of it caused by so-called Republican "leaders" and Reich-wing media politicizing a deadly global pandemic health emergency, just because of Toxic Trump.

@BradleyBuiltWoodcraft ~ Your comment seems to imply that African American and Hispanic Americans can't be conservatives or religious, Doc! Why is that?

@alananderson4316 ~ Yeah, they been saying that for centuries, yet here we still are, Doc! People using the Bible as an excuse for being stupid has got to be one of the dumbest things in human history.

@jasong6967 ~ Wrong, Doc! That's your coffin closing! We already know the survival rate is close to 98%, but the true fatality rate won't be known until the pandemic is over, which will cause the survival rate to drop even further. But even with just 2% of 331,000,000 Americans catching Covid-19, that would mean over 6,600,000 Americans dead.

@alananderson4316 ~ What you present is circular logic, Doc! All the Bible verses contained in both the Old and New Testaments can't hide that----or your inability to refute the points made in my reply. Moreover, your evasion of those points is dishonest. Is that what Christianity means to you, dishonesty? "Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye." ~ Matthew 7:5 Furthermore, this comment is about people being stupid about Covid-19. The teachings of Jesus command that people care for one another. That means following common sense practices so as not to pass diseases like Covid-19 on to others so that it could potentially sicken them, weaken them, injure them, or kill them.

@alananderson4316 ~ You're still engaging in circular logic and still being dishonest by evading the points and arguments, Doc, making you more of a moron and a hypocrite than any kind of Christian. You do not repent your wicked ways, yet you would presume to preach to others? You get a flat tire, are you going to just sit there and proselytize and pray, or are you going to use a little common sense, get the spare out and change it over? Well, Covid-19 is no different. Pray and proselytize all you want, Covid-19 don't care. But use a little common sense, and you could save some lives----maybe even your own! You would also be helping to prevent a lot of needless suffering. That's what Jesus would do and would have you do----not hide behind your misguided selfish, self-justifying, sanctimonious, and self-convenient ignorant misinterpretations of the Bible. Not only are you proving the point of my comment, you're also simultaneously disproving so-called "intelligent design!" If you're capable, you might want to ponder on that a bit.

@alananderson4316 ~ Bible verses constituting circular logic and projection do not a rational argument make, Doc! You've only proven once again your dishonesty, thereby demonstrating yourself to be a false prophet, and of the Devil's spawn! You seek to lead people astray using the words of the Bible, a blasphemy if ever there was one! Be gone, Satan, darken my door no more!

@alananderson4316 ~ By the way, your "pondering" is short, narrow, and shallow, as no one knows the long-term effects of Covid-19, but there is already abundant evidence that the effects near and long-term of Covid-19 are highly likely far, far worse than any potential side-effects from the vaccine. Moreover, we know how vaccines in general work and even the MRNA vaccines are not significantly different than other vaccines which have proven their safety and efficacy over decades, saving countless millions of lives and untold human suffering. We also know that the vaccines have gone through extensive trials and both an internal and an external independent review before being approved by the FDA for emergency use. Lots of people dying from Coivd-19, but the extremely rare few people who have died from various causes after getting the vaccine are no higher than the incidence rate of people dying from those same causes without the vaccine. But even were that not true, it's like that one-in-a-million person who was saved by not wearing a seatbelt. Which doesn't justify refusing to buckle-up, or make it smart. It only demonstrates a lack of common sense. The odds of staying safe and healthy are much greater for the vaccinated than the unvaccinated, even more so now with the Delta variant. You're further showing your ignorance if you think my comment was about gloating. Regardless of race, creed, political ideology, ethnicity, or nationality, I really don't want to see other people dying and killing others senselessly out of pure ignorance. Christianity isn't about suicide or willful negligent homicide. Or, at least, it shouldn't be. The satirical comment is meant to provoke people to think and use a little common sense.

@alananderson4316 ~ I recommend you follow the advice of reputable doctors, medical experts, and public health officials, all of whom advise those deemed able to get the vaccine, regardless of any previous contraction of Covid-19. No, vaccines do not make us dependent upon them or weaken our immunological response. Rather, they boost our natural immune system by teaching it to recognize certain harmful and deadly pathogens, building antibodies so that our natural immune system is able to fight off those diseases. It does the same thing our bodies would do anyway if catching the disease, without us having to get sick and possibly die from it. No, all the evidence does NOT point to the virus being man-made or manipulated. The vast majority of virologists, biologists, and epidemiologists still believe the most likely origin is from natural causes. No, the medical and scientific experts recommending the vaccines did NOT create the disease, nor do they profit from the vaccines. Yes, medical and public health experts recommend annual flu vaccines, because they help prevent unnecessary hospitalizations and deaths, just as with Covid-19. They do not profit from the vaccines. In case you didn't know, vaccines have a low profit margin for pharmaceutical companies, which is why a number of them got out of the business. Lots of people in the stock market, whether working in or outside of government, who typically have diversified portfolios that invest in proven stocks that have a high rate of return----such as pharmaceutical companies. That doesn't automatically imply any nefarious motive. We've all seen the negative side of unethical practices by some pharmaceutical companies, but that doesn't make all of them bad, nor does it make all medicines and vaccines produced bad. Are you going to stop buying food because some companies got a little too greedy, cut too many corners, and thereby produced unsafe product at some point? Don't be silly! Besides, producing unsafe products is generally not a good business model for companies wanting to stay in business. Nobody has to sign a waiver to get the free Covid-19 vaccine. Where did you get that nonsense from? It is common practice for the government to waive liability for pharmaceuticals approved for emergency use, because it's for an EMERGENCY, for Pete's sake! Moreover, full FDA approval is projected to happen soon, in September. I'm not preaching Darwin...I'm preaching common sense, Doc!

In a sane America----one where a third of the population wasn't programmed into a mindless, fascist Republican cult----we would have universal Covid-19 vaccine passports, masks and social distancing required wherever and whenever deemed necessary by public health officials, and mandatory vaccinations for all those able to receive it. Actually, in a sane America, none of that would be necessary, because everyone able would be voluntarily getting vaccinated, and everybody would be faithfully following CDC guidelines like wearing masks and socially distancing. They would be doing so because it is in there own best interest; because it is the moral and ethical thing to do to protect our fellow citizens; because we need to prevent the creation of new, more deadly variants; because it is the best way to recover the economy; because it is the best way to get things back to normal; because it is the civic, patriotic thing to do; and because it is just plain old-fashioned common sense.
