The View From My Computer Screen

Hey everyone having politicized arguments about vaccine hesitancy/refusal:
Are you sure you’re talking about the same people? Let me explain.
Broadly three categories not getting shots:
1) Ideological antivaxxers. Includes many lefty woo woo “all natural” types.

...or 30,000 feet, because what’s the difference?

Read the entire Twitter thread. Go ahead, I’ll wait.

Do any of these three categories have anything to do with life in these United States, which is to say, reality?  Hell if I know, but it looks good on paper!

It’s 100% (or 💯, as Tweeters like to say it) fact free. Grossman imagines three convenient categories, and proceeds to populate them with imaginary persons. He doesn’t consider or even reference one human being to tie any of these categories to reality. They all exist in the popular discourse, which is to say in the popular imagination of a handful of people on Twitter. There’s not a shred of credibility to it, except that it fits an accepted narrative. 

If you can read that thread and find a groat’s worth of difference between the “reasoning” there and the reasoning of Donald Trump on the Arizona “audit”,  then you’re a better man than I am, Gungha Din.

These things that pass for knowledge I don't understand....
