Friday News Dump: RonJohn Asks Why We Encourage People To Get Vaccines, And Other News

By Susie Madrak — April 23, 2021

Wow. Ron Johnson sees “no reason to be pushing vaccines on people,” arguing their distribution should be “limited” to the most vulnerable... and asking, “if you have a vaccine, quite honestly, what do you care if your neighbor has one or not?”https://t.co/ZoClgApM6d

Ron Johnson has not heard of 2 things.
1. The more people are vaccinated, the fewer people disease can transmit to (herd immunity)
2. The more disease transmits the more likely variants that escape vaccine efficacy and endanger everyone (Variants) https://t.co/JXyK3ueCPw

"Ron Johnson" I know where he is going on this one. Because of his inability to perform his duty as a man he is fearful that the vaccine will exacerbate his impotence. pic.twitter.com/DyopFmCvJN

Cops Stop Fellow Officer From Punching Handcuffed Woman

There are not many jobs out there where you can punch a handcuffed woman in the face multiple times and receive no repercussions. Why do I feel like some sociopaths become cops just so they can do shit like this? pic.twitter.com/YJvtcJupKx
