‘White, Male, Rural Conservatives’ Won’t Get Vaccinated to Avoid ‘Placating the Left’: Tennessee’s Former Vax Chief https://www.mediaite.com/tv/white-m...acating-the-left-tennessees-former-vax-chief/ Tennessee’s former vaccine chief Dr. Michelle Fiscus has claimed that the state’s “White, male, rural conservatives” are avoiding the Covid-19 vaccine to avoid “placating the left.” Ficus said she was “dismayed” by the rumors and conspiracies surrounding the Covid-19 vaccine, noting that they’re beginning to launch theories about other childhood vaccines as well. “But I think the other thing in Tennessee, and I think in a lot of our Southern states that’s happening, is this ideology that if you get this vaccine, you’re somehow placating the left part of the political spectrum,” she said, later revealing that, “Our most hesitant population in Tennessee is the white, male, rural conservatives. The doctor went on to condemn those who are avoiding the vaccine “out of spite,” noting that they’re putting their own lives and the lives of others at risk. “They feel that if they get the vaccine, then they have placated the left or done what the Biden administration wants them to do,” she added. The former top vaccine official was fired in July after she advised health providers to tell teenagers they do not need parental consent to receive their shots — guidance established by state law. Days before her ousting, Ficus received a package containing a muzzle, her husband Brad Fiscus told The Tennessean. “A friend dropped it back by the house. She wanted it as a souvenir,” he told the outlet. “She said, ‘whoever sent that must not know me very well. That’s for a beagle, but I’m a pit bull.'” Watch above, via PBS. (at url link above)

They have such "good genes"... Here's the bizarre reason why white supremacists don't think they need to get vaccinated: extremism expert https://www.rawstory.com/anti-vaxxer-white-natural-immunity/ Right-wing extremism expert Jeff Sharlet appeared on MSNBC Monday to explain that the American anti-vaccine ideology has its roots in white supremacy. While talking with MSNBC's Chris Hayes, Sharlet said that one of the key tenets of the historical anti-vax movement in the United States was that white people have better natural immunity to diseases thanks to their superior genetics, and thus don't need vaccines to stay healthy. "While we focus on Trump, on DeSantis, on Greg Abbott, we focus on these villains, we have to recognize that this kind of anti-vaccination hysteria has deep historical roots in the right," he said. "It goes back to the 19th century where you start encountering terms like 'medical tyranny', 'medical liberty,' 'natural immunity,' and it's conflated with whiteness." He then explained how this leads many white supremacists to falsely believed that their genes will keep them safe from disease. "The idea is that white people somehow, through their good genes, 'very good genes' as Trump would put it, have that immunity," he said. "So Trump, DeSantis, Abbott, all these folks are pulling on a right-wing populist and religious thread in American life, and pulling it horribly into the present. They didn't invent it, they exploited it." See the discussion below: (Video at above url)
