That Boy's Crazy!!

Gone 'Round The Bend, I Say

More, transcribed by the Daily Bleat (& there's more video):
Fox News host Tucker Carlson continued his relentless anti-vaccine crusade on Monday by bizarrely claiming that the military’s new vaccination mandate was an effort by the Biden administration to weed out Christians and “men with high testosterone.”

Following the Food and Drug Administration’s full approval of Pfizer’s coronavirus shot last month, the Pentagon ordered all active-duty military members to be fully vaccinated. According to Carlson, though, the vaccine requirement was a “new political purity test” by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.

“This was specifically designed to separate the obedient from the free,” the Fox host grumbled on Monday night. “Can’t have any of the latter category.”

Carlson, who has repeatedly sowed doubt about COVID-19 vaccines’ efficacy and safety, went on to say there was “zero scientific basis” behind requiring soldiers to be vaccinated against the virus that’s killed nearly 700,000 Americans. Never mind that service members have long been subjected to various immunizations, and a surge in the virus could negatively impact troop readiness.

Insisting that “virtually all” of the military is “at extremely low risk of dying from COVID” because they’re mostly young and healthy, the conservative primetime host went on to compare military suicides to coronavirus deaths.

[...]

Having thoroughly dismissed COVID-19 as a concern for the military, Carlson alleged that the vaccine mandate was actually a conspiracy to purge the military of virile, God-fearing men with minds of their own.

“The point of mandatory vaccination is to identify the sincere Christians in the ranks, the free thinkers, the men with high testosterone levels, and anyone else who doesn't love Joe Biden and make them leave immediately,” he exclaimed. “It's a takeover of the U.S. military!”

Carlson then claimed he obtained a U.S. Army PowerPoint presentation that was meant to address service member concerns about vaccines, including a slide that sarcastically read: “How many children were sacrificed to Satan because of the vaccine?”

“Then the presentation proceeds to list the so-called tenets of Satanism which are taken from the Temple of Satanism website. So here you have the United States Army doing p.r. for Satanists,” Carlson fumed, framing the slide as proof the military was rooting out Christians.

The best part, of course, is that Bow-Tie Daddy no doubt imagines himself to be the epitome of a free-thinking (yet Xian), high-testosterone dude. Sad, innit?

Is he lying because he's "cornered"? Does someone write this Bizarro World crap for him? A descent into self-parody/extreme trolling? Inquiring minds don't actually give a flying fuck at a rolling dough-nut.

Is he still fucking his daughter? Just asking questions.

The Army I was in fifty years ago didn't ask us "pretty please, will you take you shots?" Lined us up in a long hallwall and hit both arms arms at once with crude, pneumatic multi-needle injection (air)guns that hit us with about seventeen vaxxes at once. Some guys fainted (usually big ones), passed out, fell down, banged their heads. Some died.

Bonus points: 'bout fifteen years prior I was as an Army brat hit with everything they had.

I've taken some abuse lately over my Mr Natural Getting Vaxxed analogies ~ they'll be no more of them ~ but the reality is you don't need to crawl into a mud hut to get a good sweat bath, it's the 21st century. No to mention everyone alive in "America" today has been subject to mandatory inoculations ...
