Will Cain on vaccinating children, 5/28/21

WILL CAIN (HOST): Somehow that soup of complete and utter nonsense has been packaged and sold to gullible parents who are willing to have their children taught not just the well-established racist ideology of the woke fad, but apparently somehow, in some way, how incest porn and its role in the culture of white supremacy awakens their child to systemic injustice. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know if I used all the right words and I don't know if I put them in the right order. But what I do know is these parents are willing to not just tolerate but pay high dollar to ensure their social standing and social circles are never disrupted, even if it requires child sacrifice. And believe it or not, I'm not done.
I want every single human being to be able to make their own decisions, certainly when it comes to their own family. But I am at the very least, surprised how many of us are willing to just accept that our children need to be vaccinated for COVID-19. And most of the time, the reasons that I'm given when I talk to yes, friends, very good friends about why they made this decision, it amounts to, well, everyone else is doing it. And they, whoever they is, say it's safe. They, I assume, is Big Pharma and the CDC or Big Pharma and the FDA who hasn't seen fit to even give this vaccine full FDA approval, rather, just an emergency use authorization to inject your child with an experimental drug. And I know my friends are just riding along on the wave of acceptability. They're riding along on the wave of headlines like those from CNN that say we're, quote-unquote, “still lagging behind in getting 12 to 15-year-olds vaccinated." Obviously, the implication being we need to catch up, despite the fact there is zero scientific evidence that COVID-19 presents a great threat to our children.
For what it's worth, not everyone is allowing this wave of acceptability, this wave of platitudes, to wash over them when it comes to vaccinating their kids. Where we stand today is only 7.6 of 18 to 24-year-olds have been vaccinated. Only 1.7% of 16 to 17-year-olds have received the COVID-19 vaccine, and only 1.4% of 12 to 15-year-olds have received this experimental drug.
The larger story for me, whether or not we're talking about conspiracies of the origins of COVID or whether or not to get our children vaccinated or whether or not the Georgia law is racist voter suppression -- the larger story to me is how we have learned to let information wash over us, that we have learned to live within a bandwidth of acceptable thought, and that extends beyond what we read, beyond what we know and beyond what we debate. It extends into the choices we make in this life. And let me take this full circle now back to John Cena.
