Eric Swalwell Simply Can’t Resist Screaming Into The Wind – Opinion

Everyone is getting tired of Representative Eric Swalwell

On Monday, the scandal-ridden representative tweeted out an angry (and quite contrived, if you ask me…there is nothing authentic about this man at all) rant about people who have chosen not to take the COVID vaccines. The tweet was full of righteous anger. More than that, it was a peek into the absolute irrationality of the Cult o’ COVID members, who sincerely believe that with enough harassment and insults you can change the mind of a person who has already decided they do not wish to receive a COVID vaccine at this time.

You have nothing to stop a vaccine. It is possible to get it if it is what you desire. There are mandates, there are campaigns to marginalize and oppress the unvaccinated, there is a pop culture war to label anyone who doesn’t want this particular vaccine as “anti-vax”…the attempts to coerce the hesitant to get the COVID vaccine are endless and popular. It is safe to say that anyone left who isn’t vaccinated simply DOES NOT WANT IT. That’s it. If you haven’t convinced them to vaccinate by now, it’ll never happen. And yet weirdos like Swalwell simply can’t resist the hysterics, as if they make one bit of difference to those who have made up their minds. It’s screaming into the wind at this point, but that’s what progressives do best.

Let’s take a look at Swalwell’s diatribe.

I’m losing my Covid patience🧵 I’ve tried to reason with the unvaxxed. I’ve directed some to medical pros. I don’t judge but hear them out and steer them to facts. The unvaxxed love to say it’s about choice. But you know who doesn’t have a choice? My children below 5. (1/3)

Oh, you’re losing your COVID patience? Eric, welcome to the club. Eric, we are trying valiantly and with great difficulty to understand the panicky fears and hypersensitivity surrounding this virus. If I was only able to watch CNN daily, then I would feel fearful and anxious every single day. I’d be operating with a quarter of the science but 100% of the politics. It’s a recipe for terror. Our desire is to live in peace and enjoy life. It makes sense to preserve freedom — the freedom to isolate and the freedom to move about your life freely. You should not be afraid of COVID if you feel that breathing in the same air as those who have had every vaccine but one COVID shot is the equivalent to sure death. These people don’t have any sense of personal responsibility. So instead of simply taking their own precautions to protect themselves, according to the SCIENCE™, they demand we all live in abject fear, and they punish our children, our businesses, and our constitutional rights.

You know the cliche — if mamma ain’t happy, No oneI am happy. Progressives want desperately to be your mommy…and they’re not happy right now. They’ll be damned if you are either. Eric. We’re All losing our patience with the madness surrounding this topic, but conservatives aren’t under the illusion we can change the minds of someone by insulting them. Living in freedom means that we must live with tension between what we desire and what other people want. At the ballot box, we settle these tensions. We don’t stomp our feet and demand government take away the human rights of free Americans.

Blah, blah, blah! You have the right not to be vaxxed. Fine. Then business and government have a right to tell you that you’re not welcome to patronize or you can’t get on a plane. What right do I have to let my children see your Covid? As parents, let’s own (2/3)

I love how Democrats are always moved to “blah blah blah” your constitutional rights away. They are meaningless. Eric may be half-right here, but Eric is also more correct than most. Private businesses have the right to tell you that you can’t patronize their business…for some things. You can’t tell a black person they can’t eat at your lunch counter. You can’t tell a gay person they can’t stay at your hotel. That’s about as far as that goes. It does not have such a right. They can only be controlled (supposely) by the constitution’s public standards. They cannot discriminate against their citizens. It is unsurprising that Eric doesn’t know this.

There is no “blah blah blah” in the American Constitution. This is clear. Individual freedom is sacred. It’s that simple. It is very telling when a United States representative wants to “blah blah blah” that clarity away to suit their own notions of safety.

It was outrage. Looney carnival barkers who appear at school board meetings do NOT represent where the majority of parents live. You are creating new versions of yourself because you have not been vaxxed. So get your damn shot. Stay inside your house. But don’t mess with my kids.

When Eric wants to protect his children, he’s a saint (and I’m sure his kids know all about his affair with a Chinese spy). When you want to protect your children you’re a “carnival barker.”

This tweet was actually misinformed and I reported it. The left is allowed to shift the COVID goalposts to make it seem that unvaccinated people are certain to die. It is not, and the SCIENCE™ supports that. The SCIENCE™ also gives no indication that unvaccinated people “create” new variants. That’s victim-blaming, Eric. Variants can be created by viruses. Humans just contract them or they don’t. That’s it. And the SCIENCE™ also tells us that right now, in many states and first-world nations, the amount of COVID hospitalizations among the vaccinated is surpassing that of the unvaccinated. So if you can still get and spread COVID even when you’re vaccinated, who exactly is responsible for the variants?

COVID is not a new threat to those who are still unvaccinated. They’ve already decided. They’ve had every opportunity to get the vaccine and they don’t want it. This is not going to be changed by any Twitter whining. You should be so scared for your child because you have not been vaccinated. Please enter your email addressStay home.

The fact that Eric continues to go to work, socialize, and travel the country for work and pleasure tells me that he really isn’t worried for his children at all.

Now, what is that telling you?
