It seems that every time I read something of his, I come out the better for it.

Fisher is a complete dip#### but TBF if I got to sleep with Carrie Underwood every night I'd be living in a fantasy world too where rules and common sense seemingly don't apply.

Even as early as American Idol Carrie Underwood has always seemed like a vacant, dead eyed poser to me. Superficially attractive but relatively mediocre talent and zero personality.

How about right here in southern Ab! You get out of the cities and the ratio is close to 50/50. It’s actually a tough thing to navigate when half the people you deal with are unvaccinated and so brainwashed/stubborn about it. Including family and friends!

It’s no surprise someone with a fragile ego would be anti vax.

Some doctor probably called him short when he was 13 and he never forgot it.

And he's still out kicking his coverage.

She’s a very average pop-country singer to me. There’s lots of better singers, in that genre and elsewhere.

Hmmm indeed.

Captioning a gray-and-white image that read "I stand with Aaron Rodgers," on Nov. 6, Mike wrote on Instagram, "I believe in the freedom to choose what we put in our bodies and the freedom of conscience. I agree with him in that the science clearly shows the vaccinated spread covid at basically the same rate as the unvaccinated."
...
The Instagram post garnered over 56,000 likes from fans, including, most notably, his wife. Following his message, both Mike and Carrie became a trending topic on social media, with many weighing in on the commentary.

I don't agree with Fisher's reasoning or most of his comments but I respect his right to make his own healthcare decisions and to say whatever he wants. It's a free country.

For the record, I support vaccines and received both Moderna doses.

Well put. I've said this before but there is no greater idiotic privilege in our lives than for someone to get on a soapbox and whine about freedoms while taking zero responsibility for it by not getting vaccinated. If this person is in your life I would suggest cutting them out of it asap. Our grandparents and parents all stepped up (for the most part) and got vaccinated against terrible diseases so we can live healthy lives today - this didn't happen by chance.

There are quite literally millions of people that would do anything to get a covid vaccine right now to protect themselves and their loved ones. A small percentage of whack job, degenerate scumbags are using this as some sort of righteous platform against government control which makes it quite insulting to anyone who has done the right thing or lost someone to this virus. This is even more so to those that possibly still can't access a vaccine in other countries that has to listen to relatively well off idiot yell about der freedumbs.

He’s misleading people with dangerous false information. But, yeah “say whatever you want”.

At the risk of running this into a circle, your right to make your own healthcare decisions is fine until those decisions knowingly harm people around you who are unaware or have been lied to about the decisions you claim to have made.

Then you're a prick.

What’s “free” about it? There are thousands of laws in place to protect the health and safety of people.

Despite what he says about his team knowing, Aaron Rodgers lied about receiving a vaccine and knowingly put people around him at an increased risk of being exposed.

And we are all in turn entitled to say what he is, which is a dumbass who is spewing dangerous misinformation. And of course if there are consequences to that I assume you are OK with it and will say he and Rodgers shouldn’t whine about them.

ETA: I assume you are OK with me going to a school assembly and providing my opinion about how fentanyl overdoses are way overblown and it’s just good clean fun. I have a right to my opinion and and I’m free to say whatever I want.

Unfortunately the two are not mutually exclusive in any way.

It's not a free country when dumb@$$ Mike Fisher, Aaron Rodgers or Billy Bob down the street infect you or your children who then infect your elderly parents, who although vaccinated, may still die from the virus.

Scumbag degenerates just like this are the ones taking away 80% of the populations ability to live a much more normal and safer day to day life with their friends and family. There's nothing free about that.

Absolutely. To be clear, I wouldn't support your comments but I support your right to say it.

Disinformation was an issue long before Covid. I hate its effects as much as you. Outside of education and speaking out against it, there isn't a whole lot we can do. A lot of people seem to be ok with forcing people to undergo medical procedures that they aren't comfortable with. I just don't thing it's a direction we should moving towards. Of course, I understand people's reasonings and feelings in wanting to and respect it.

Why do people listen to Mike Fisher and Aaron Rodgers for medical decisions?
