Personally, I can't fault someone for coming up with a catchy soundbyte and headline. If only his argument didn't stick to 'only two tribes', whether it's learned behavior or intentional. I'd bet the majority of covid skeptics aren't against polio vaccination.

While this is correct, this whole affair has caused me to wonder if maybe I should be. That's the lasting tragedy in all of this: the medical industry's credibility is irreparably damaged. I can never trust them again.
The industry, from hospitals, insurance, and pharma is dysfunctional since Americans decided to listen to proggies and cronies instead of libertarians. Any public mandates should be rejected for pragmatic reasons, not just ideological sentiment. It's valid for schools to require vaccination, but not while compulsory schooling and public-schools w/o vouchers are a thing.
When I saw a timeline showing the polio vaccine come out after the rate of new cases was already in decline, and a resurgence of polio immediately following the vaccine; I started thinking about whether I should be, too.

They'd kill me for their own convenience, for good-boy points from the state, because someone with my blood type needed an organ, probably.
They're not special. They're tradesmen in a different line of work.
