New Orleans – January 4, 2021

An MSNBC producer just asked a just-vaccinated 79-year-old lady named Maureen Weil what she would tell people who question the COVID-19 vaccine.

“I would call them stupid,” she replied.

During the interview, she repeated, TWICE, that she believes in science, and then stated, “we HAVE to believe in science. There’s no other way.”

Apparently, MSNBC doesn’t want their own reporters to directly tell their viewers something so outrageous as “you are stupid to question our narrative, you HAVE to believe it.” Instead, they’re actually using elderly people to do their dirty work for them.

We have news for MSNBC: you can be justifiably afraid of a virus that doctors can’t agree on how to treat, and yet still question a fast-tracked vaccine with a higher-than-usual rate of serious adverse reactions. No, that’s not stupid.

It’s never stupid to question a medical intervention, no matter who recommends it.

We don’t think the 308 people who have already been taken to the ER/ED for COVID-19 vaccine reactions (according to VAERS reports) would call questioning the vaccine “stupid.”

But we think it’s pretty sinister of a major news network to encourage a sweet elderly lady to tell the world that she can’t pass “the Corona” to anyone else because she is “protected now,” when even the CDC is cautioning that we don’t know yet whether the vaccine will prevent asymptomatic infection and transmission.

RIP, journalism. You’ve been replaced by industry marketing.

Or is it a cult?

“Thou shalt not question, lest ye be deemed ‘stupid.’ ”
“I believe.”
“We MUST believe.”
“We are saved.”

"I know one thing for sure. I'm gonna save somebody else's life by protecting myself.

…
Because then I won't get the corona so I can't spread it to anybody else."
