    Rightwingers don’t believe in any problem until it directly affects them. They won’t understand why we have modern medicine and health regulations until they personally feel the effects of having taken it all away. And even then many of them still won’t.

      And even then many of them still won’t.

      I know one example personally of an older trumpthumper who insists he got subpar treatment at the hospital when he had covid and had to go on a ventilator because the staff held it against him that he wasn’t vaccinated.

      Not being vaccinated made his covid more severe not because of his age and lack of an immune response, but because those damn liberal hospital doctors refusing him their top level of service out of spite for his political beliefs.

        If you don’t get your car’s oil changed for years and then go into the mechanic because your engine seized up, yeah they’re gonna hold your own idiocy against you.
