You can criticize Trudeau without being an anti-vaxxer or Covid denier nutjob.

Also the starving African children would like to speak with you.

You don't read Caitlin at all, do you?

By the standards you're applying to me and to others, you would consider her an "anti-vaxxer". Just look at "Ten Thoughts On Abortion"; she brings it up and says that she thinks people ought to be allowed to choose both whether to get vaccinated and also whether to get an abortion.

Which raises the question of what you are doing reading articles written by an "anti-vaxxer".

And while I'm probably wasting my online breath saying this: there's a HUGE fucking difference between saying "Mandates are wrong" and saying "Nobody should take the vaccine at all because it is literal poison", I'm saying it anyway.

Tell that to the tons of people who have already died from Covid.

That’s called hyper-individualism.

That tweet has nothing to do with Covid.

You've created a strawman by saying "Rob and this other guy are libertarians" and now you're like "Oh, look at what Caitlin tweeted, Mr. Libertarian! She doesn't like libertarians like you! What do you think of that, you libertarian???"

I can't speak for anti-republocrat and confess I haven't read his comments closely, but I'm not a libertarian. I think that libertarians have more in common with leftists than standard conservatives do, since libertarians at least seem to take a "hands off" approach to foreign policy. I agree with that much, but I don't agree with the idea of "The government shouldn't regulate corporations." Somebody damn well should regulate corporations, because they've demonstrated time and again that they can't be trusted.

Meanwhile, HERE is what she has to say about vaccine mandates, since evidently you can't be bothered to read the article I mentioned for yourself:

"...While we're on the subject of bodily sovereignty, I've seen a lot of people arguing that the whole 'My body, my choice' position was invalidated by the way people were forced to take Covid vaccines in order to participate in society.

"This is an entirely logical argument, in my opinion. It's not logically consistent to say that bodily autonomy needs to take a back seat in one area and then claim it's of utmost importance in another. Proponents of vaccine mandates are responsible for the fact that this argument is being used, and that it is being used effectively.

"It's very disconcerting that the law has come down on the side of subverting bodily autonomy in both of these major debates recently. As humanity gets more and more complicated, we may see the dominance of the notion that our bodies are not our own yield greater and greater consequences going forward..."

You think that Caitlin is dead wrong about that, apparently. Go ahead, tell her that she's an anti-vaxxer and that her home country totally had the right idea with its quarantine camps.

The "my body, my choice" argument is not invalidated by vaccine mandates. Abortions are not contagious. You can't contract abortion and spread it like you can COVFEFE-45.

The irony of those who resist containing the pandemic. These are the same people who claim the wealthy elite want to depopulate the world and there is no better way to do it than to spread a pandemic far and wide. Talk about Useful Idiots.

"Useful idiots" used unironically just like a RussiaGater. Wouldn't surprise me at all if you were one of those too. Are you?

Hey, since you want to trade YouTube videos, here's Bill Gates--you know, Bill Gates of the WHO and the vaccines, who apparently said a lot of things you believed since you'll happily line up to get injected with whatever they tell you--saying that Covid primarily affects the elderly and is like the flu except a little bit different: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNiiuygF_HQ

But really, stop wasting all of our time and go back to watching MSNBC, or possibly TYT or Sam Seder. Some shitlib outlet, based on what you're writing.

Covid and other diseases don’t really care about your “bodily sovereignty”.
