Anti-vaxx 'expert' claims vaccines will turn people into ‘transhumanist cyborgs' controlled by 5G
Sherri Tenpenny is an influential religious-rightanti-vaccine activist who has testified before the Ohio state House, appeared on Charlie Kirk’s podcast, and been a speaker at multiple ReAwaken America events, where she has shared the stage with the likes of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, Eric Trump, Mike Lindell, Michael Flynn, Roger Stone, and Alex Jones.

Despite the fact that Tenpenny is an osteopathic doctor with no expertise on vaccines, she regularly appears on right-wing programs where she spreads wild conspiracy theories about COVID-19 vaccines.

This is a really bizarre argument and one I had with a friend. He said that we are now saying COVID is no worse than the flu and need to love with it as an endemic virus, proving he was right in 2020 and we were wrong.

It's only true now because of a massive vaccine rollout ?‍♂
It's like building a dam to hold out floods, and when it does, great thinkers coming in to argue all the work was pointless cause the flood didn't hit the town.

I think we can just leave the obvious nuts to Planters

they try so hard to make her seem relevant to conservative politics.

That's not the same argument. We've had vaccines for a year now. It's only now starting to become acceptable to suggest that maybe we live with COVID.

We didn't have decent vaccine coverage a year ago and certainly not in 2020.

Neither Bill Maher or Adam Corolla said anything about "2020" you inferred that based on a different discussion from your idiot friend. We had vaccine coverage on the people who actually needed protection by March here. I'd have to assume it was sooner in your non-third world country.

I was talking about my friend when referring to 2020. But even ignoring that, to suggest going back to normal in March 2021 is absurd for a number of reasons.
  • People were still dying in relatively high numbers.
  • The data wasn't yet available to determine whether SARS-COV-2 had become endemic (it hadn't).
  • Vaccine rollout wasn't sufficient at that point. Only the very most vulnerable had been vaccinated.

At the beginning of the post I pointed out to you that that tweet and your friends comment weren't the same argument.

The rest of your post is extremely subjective depending on what information you're going to choose to look at and where you live.

That's what happens when you're gaslit for 2 years and then people admit they were lying to you. Remember "Lab leak is racist"? I remember.
I have trouble understanding exactly what gaslighting means.
Someone was being fed misinformation in order to make them question their reality?

. Gaslighting is a form of manipulation that often occurs in abusive relationships. It is a covert type of emotional abuse where the bully or abuser misleads the target, creating a false narrative and making them question their judgments and reality.
