Nancy Mace suggests people should get COVID instead of getting vaccinated.

Nancy Mace is on Fox News suggesting that people should get Covid rather than get vaccinated because natural immunity is preferable.

Take a second to ponder how irresponsible that is.

According to the latest reports I’ve read the best protection against covid is to complete your vaccination series including a booster jab. Not to mention the insane notion of playing Russian roulette with a nasty, possibly lethal virus.

She should get herself infected, recover by herself at home, with a requirement to check in with the county coroner once daily, so that they know when to send the wagon to pick up her remains when she fails to call in.

My neighbor came by to tell me his whole family has Covid.

He figures that is a good thing because now they don't need to get vaccinated.

No, I didn't try to correct him. I gave up on that a long time ago.

He did not.

1. The vaccine will keep you out of the hospital if you get COVID.
2. Natural antibodies and vaccine antibodies don't cancel each other out.
3. If you had the vaccine, and then got COVID, as I did, then you are indeed more resistant and have a metric shit-ton of antibodies that will protect you.
4. Working vaccines and natural immunity are not mutually exclusive.
5. Like hill_deeee said in that viral TikTok video, "GO GET THE FUCKING SHOT!"

My mom was named Nancy, and she was for sure no idiot, but Mace and Grace are doing their level best to make the name an embarrassment.

My mom got her degree in classical music at the University of Chicago, played in symphony orchestras in the DC area, even built her own cello.

No Nancy Graces or Maces in our family, either!

Next Election Day…

“This is the NBC News Election Center and we’re analyzing the massive blue wave that just happened tonight. This is totally unprecedented; even areas that hadn’t sent a Democrat to Congress since their states were founded will be represented by Democrats in January. We have with us Dr. Sarah Martin, professor of political science at the University of Southern North Dakota. Sarah, do you have any insights?”

“Thank you for having me on, Tom. While it’s too soon to tell, we believe so many Republican voters who were ‘trying to achieve natural immunity’ by contracting COVID died of it, they couldn’t have won an election no matter who they were running. The percentage of Democratic voters who are vaccinated is extremely high and they did well getting their people to the polls, so they won a lot of races they wouldn’t have otherwise.”
