Homeless person destroys anti-vaxxers argument in six words
A homeless person has been caught on video shutting down an anti-vaxx argument with six simple words.
In a clip that went viral on Twitter, a group of anti-vaccine protesters can be seen walking down Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles, carrying picket signs and American flags.
âDo you see all of these homeless people around?â the lead protester yells through a bullhorn. âAre they dead in the streets with Covid? Hell no! Why?â
A man pushing a shopping cart down the street then offers her an answer:
âBecause Iâm vaccinated, you dumb f***!â
There is a moment of awkward silence, and then the bullhorn rant resumes.
âIs anyone questioning anything? Wake up!â the woman continues, apparently undeterred.
On Twitter, however, the succinct counterargument got a big reaction.
âThis is the most perfect exchange,â one user wrote. âHero.â
âMay make this my ringtone,â another commented. âItâs perfect. And hilarious.â
âA beautiful moment in history,â another declared.
Covid-19 vaccines are available free of charge to all Americans, including the homeless. All three of the authorized brands â" Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson â" have proven safe and extremely effective against severe cases of the disease.
But misinformation has slowed the vaccine rollout in the United States, where many conservative pundits and politicians have publicly resisted the inoculations. And as vaccinated Americans wait for their fellow citizens to get the shot, the pandemic continues.
Frustration with that situation was evident in the comments under the Twitter video, which as of Thursday had been viewed 3.7 million times.
One viewer was particularly annoyed that the bullhorn protester seemed to use homeless people as props for her argument.
âThe worst part is how people talk about homeless community members like theyâre furniture or canât f***inâ hear,â she wrote.
The person who filmed the video, however, took an interest in the pro-vaxx homeless man as a human being. That personâs Twitter account, @FilmThePoliceLA, reported later that it had found the man and was working to set up a GoFundMe for him.
âWe found the king,â @FilmThePoliceLA wrote. âHis name is Ray. Super-intelligent with a gentle demeanor.â
