Argument styles I learned from Covid Lockdowners
now you need to make a list of argument styles of vaccine zealots. there is overlap but also some special unique positions.
1) unvaccinated people will swamp the healthcare system
2) unvaccinated people are causing the variants (in defiance of 5th grade biology)
3) unvaccinated people should be denied healthcare (which makes #1 pretty difficult to pull off)
4) unvaccinated people will keep the pandemic going longer
5) we can't go back to work, restaurants, theater, etc until every living person is vaccinated
6) all unvaccinated people voted republican, are election deniers, rednecks, high school drop outs, toothless hillbillies (add putdown of your choice)
7) the pandemic of the unvaccinated
8) the winter of severe illness and death
that's a start. i'm sure there are more
all good ones... I get these too:
" but they didn't know"
"you are making such a big deal out of this, no one cares that much, so what ..."
"you need to get a life, all this writing and evangelizing about freedoms means you are a serious loser"
