The New York State United Teachers union has some 600,000 members, by the way. I got vaccinated. I’m pro-vaccine. I did this even after I contracted and recovered from COVID. It was my choice. I’m not for mandates, but for folks who relished the lockdown culture and said the vaccines were the silver bullet to now refuse to abide by a mandate is stunning. It’s a requiem in four parts. Yet, this should come as no surprise. There are certainly a lot of teachers who are vaccine skeptics due to the horrendous messaging from the experts. There are probably other teachers who are anti-vaxx regardless. From the NYSUT’s decision here, apparently, enough were able to sway the final decision. Even more interesting is that I’m pretty sure, no—I am certain, that the lion’s share of these members voted for Biden and are hardcore liberals, so the ‘iT’s tHe RePuBliCaNs’ narrative that has been manufactured to unleash a campaign of coercion and derision against the unvaccinated has taken another massive blow. These people are not watching Fox News. They’re not Trump supporters. They’re not die-hard fans of townhall or conservative media, and they’re not gung-ho about the vaccine mandate. There is this thing called nuance, liberal America. You people don’t have it, which is why all your narratives fail. This one is no exception.
