I got into quite a scrap with Shannon from South Carolina, who called my SiriusXM program to claim that because the Covid-19 vaccines aren’t 100% effective, and thus people could still theoretically transmit Covid if vaccinated, the government “doesn’t have a right” to mandate the vaccine.
I then asked him if he knew the efficacy of the measles vaccine or polio vaccine or others, all of which are and were under 100% effective (and some not nearly as good as the Covid vaccines), and yet are mandated by governments with mandates upheld by the courts.
He said he knew nothing about that but deferred to his wife, who he said was in the “medical professional.”
When I said he’d not taken up an education from his wife very well if he didn’t know that, he accused me of attacking his wife!
Shannon called me a jerk for allegedly saying his wife “is not educated.”
But that’s not what I said, I told him, I said, “your wife did not educate you well.”
“I’m not insulting her — I’m insulting you,” I said.
Yes, by the end of the conversation I called him “dumb as a rock.”
Was I too hard on him? Listen in and let me know your thoughts.

I called a man "dumb as a rock"
An insult to most rocks I've known, but okay....
No. Truth hurts. I was a Dental Hygienist for over 30 yrs, an asst before that & also worked in PT, rheumatology & General Medicine offices. I went to Dental School & was in all the same classes as resp techs, nurses, medical and dental students. We studied everything from bacteriology to virology, public health, immunology, biology, chemistry, pharmacology, pathology, anatomy & histology. We pored over cadavers, took boards, had to take continuing ed & once we were allowed to be anesthesia certified had to up the education levels even more. So, when some yahoo spurts BS because a friend's balls swell, they read something on the internet or are married to a HCW it enrages me to the point I think my head will explode. They'll take ANYTHING but the vax. So, ask him...if he need any meds, chemo, insulin, a pacemaker or surgery who is he going to listen to? The guy across the street who works in a factory or car dealership or a doctor? If one of his kids got into an accident, will he ask a surgeon or the cashier at Winn Dixie? You should've called him much worse. Sadly, for him, it's too late. CTs & false info change the wiring in the brain so he's no better off than a drug addict or alcoholic.
