Anti-vaccine and
rabid Trump supporting cartoonist
Ben Garrison unfortunately
has contracted Corona virus.
And I say it's unfortunate because,
you don't want anyone to suffer,
but it's particularly bad for
those who are against vaccines.
And Garrison is in fact against
the vaccine.
Now, he claims that he thinks he
picked it up from a restaurant.
He says,
yes, it's definitely COVID and
we've had all the symptoms.
My wife and I went out with
a couple to a restaurant and the
next day all four of us were sick.
One of us went to see a doctor and
was told that she has COVID, and
that was the clincher, okay, so
they've got COVID.
Awful I hope they get better.
But here's where things get even
more dicey.
We've been taking Ivermectin and
various vitamins including a lot
of Zinc.
Now Ivermectin has not been proven.
There's no data indicating that
ivermectin, the human dose of
ivermectin, is going to do
anything to help you with COVID.
Unfortunately, some people who
can't get a prescription for
ivermectin are now resorting to
getting the ivermectin
that's formulated for livestock.
Which is a much higher dose and
now people are dying as a result
of that there were two cases
recently which is awful.
Now, he also has a different secret
weapon that he
shared with his followers.
The cartoonist also notes that he's
been taking beet root juice,
which sounds delicious.
None of this has been proven
to treat or prevent COVID-19.
With monoclonal antibodies and
vaccines being the only
real ways to fight this pandemic,
which is still raging in many parts
of the world.
Now let me note, monoclonal
antibodies have been shown
some progress like that's good, but
it's not something that's like
readily available to everyone.
And if you are lucky enough to have
access to it through healthcare,
keep in mind that insurers have
stopped covering the full
costs of Coronavirus treatment.
So one of the best ways to protect
yourself both health wise and
financially is to get
the Coronavirus vaccine but
this guy does not believe that to
be the case.
And then one final amazing
statistic that I want to share with
you all, I'm going to the very last
graphic here.
We're now seeing the political
divide on vaccines play out in real
life and it's actually incredibly
heartbreaking.
So, in counties where Donald Trump
received at least 70% of the vote,
the virus has killed about 47 out
of every 100,000 people since
the end of June.
But for counties where Trump won
less than 32% of the vote, the
number is about 10 out of 100,000.
>> So I hear that all the time from
right-wingers and
sometimes even more.
Well it's not just the right wing
thing, it's some minorities
are likely to take the vaccine.
Some minorities are like that,
sure they are, right?
But now the jury's in.
If you're in a heavily
Trump County, you're 4.7 times more
likely to die from Coronavirus
because you knuckleheads aren't
vaccinated, okay?
4.7 times more likely no judge.
No, not a right wait, no,
it's a right wing thing.
It is, that's a fact now.
Okay, so now,
back to the beet root juice here.
I'm always amused by conspiracy
theorists.
And so he's solidly one all
the medical industrial complex,
which by the way does exist.
But in this case there and why
are they trying to save your life
out of the goodness of their heart?
No to make a lot of money that's
why they're doing it there.
I solved it for you.
Anyways for these
conspiracy theories, they're no,
the vaccine that almost every
doctor on the planet agrees to,
that have no connection to
pharmaceutical companies.
Random doctors in the middle of
the Amazon all the way to Punjab
to everywhere,
they all agree they're wrong.
Some guy who told me about beet
juice and zinc and Ivermectin
online who I don't know who he is.
I have no idea if he's a doctor.
And at best he's at part of the 1%
of doctors who think that that's
the guy who's right.
But why?
Why would the 99% of doctors
be right?
They never answer that because
they're not that bright.
