Absolutely. Great to see the Libertarian party growing in Congress. Does this mean 1000% tax on donuts and alcohol or cash back at the DMV with proof of abs? What’s the penalty for those with natural COVID immunity who get hospitalized after unnecessarily taking a risky vaccine?

If you are going to engage in riskier actions that increase health care costs and health care burdens on all of us, then you should be the one paying for the increased risk. twitter.com/kylegriffin1/s…

You're good at math Jesse, how risky is that vaccine? I respect you as a person and a businessman but your takes on COVID and vaccine surprise me.

Yeah, I think I met Jesse 10 years ago, and have followed him for years, but this rabid anti-vaccine crusade is below what I expected from him. Unfollowing now.

I’m not anti-vaccine. I’m anti mandates and anti utilitarian healthcare policy that ignores science, pushed down by a conflicted government, historically bought by big pharma, which created the opioid epidemic in the US, in a situation where we are not at risk of human extinction

This is literally why I said that you have good intentions but your delivery might be taken the wrong way by anti-vaxers. I know the COVID vaccine will not solve all the problems and make COVID completely disappear but it can stifle its spread big time.

Jesse that kinda promotes a treatment that we definitely didn't have enough data on. We don't know whether ivermectin would help and how much. We know the vaccine shortens at least the time you're being infectious if not the chances of catching COVID in the first place.
