I’m the member of a large golfing group. Each Sunday we field at least 5 foursomes but usually 6 or 7. So, we have a large group.
This is Texas, so there are some reflexive right wingers. I’ve made it a hard rule that politics are absolutely forbidden. I’m the resident liberal and I’ve expressed the rule and then walked off whenever anyone tried to bring up politics.
But one guy is an anti-vaxxer. Once he gets going he’s difficult to stop. I’ve driven off a number of times while he’s in mid-sentence (he usually walks).
But still he starts up sometimes.
When the polio vaccine came up he blindsided me. I knew he was adamant that the mRNA based Covid vaccines would ultimately kill me and him if he took it. But the polio vaccine? That was based on traditional vaccine technology and there’s no risk of mRNA rewriting an individual’s genetic code.
Everyone is for the polio vaccine…right? This was one of the great successes of vaccines.
Apparently not. He started going off and brought out this whopper—Polio wasn’t the problem, but DDT poisoning.
Think my jaw dropped. DDT poisoning? Are you kidding me? Of course, he was dead serious.
I drove off while he was in mid-sentence.
These people are nuts.
