Just heard a statistic that 1 out of 7 people have lost a friend since last year because they would not get vaccinated and it is the vaccinated person who ended the friendship.

This is sad. The media is evil.

Barrington Martin II (D) was one of the candidates who ran in the special election in GA-5 following the death of Representative John Lewis. He lost in the blanket primary getting 1,994 votes.

As for ending friendships over vaccinations, I suppose that would depend on why. I certainly wouldn’t want anyone in my circle of friends who was pushing antivaxxer nonsense. I also (to the extent possible in Conservatopia) try to stay away from people.
