Looks like someone thinks they can make more money as a Fox News guest than as a doctor.

I myself am vaccinated and don't have a strong opinion on the matter but what I do have a strong opinion of is those who interject themselves into discussions with useless, politically charged comments.

An abundance of comments like yours is why I no longer use Reddit, please reconsider the next time you decide to make a statement on a divisive topic, especially if that statement is here on HN.

If it wasn’t political, it wouldn’t be on the front page pf hacker news every day. Even if you are uncomfortable with the reality that it’s been made political, that doesn’t obligate the rest of us to stick our heads in the sand.

Sorry but the divisiveness exists al most exclusively in the US because of certain right-wing news outlets.

This is not a "politicized" issue in most of the world, at least judging by which parties actually use available scientific evidence.

Over in my part of the world, the scepticism shown in the US is just a fringe position..

I don't know the relative severity, but many countries have some degree of pushback to lockdowns and vaccines mandates. Australia in particular come to mind. This is beyond just a US thing.

There's a substantial difference between the expected pushback from the minority loud voices in that spectrum seen across the world and the ouright insanity of American governors prohibiting vaccine and mask mandates.
