We’re really, really lucky. Because if it weren’t for Real Principled Conservatives™ like the Bulwark’s Amanda Carpenter, conservatives would really be up a lack-of-credibility creek.
See, Real Principled Conservatives™ like Amanda Carpenter follow the Science™. But don’t take our word for it. Take hers:
If you got vaccinated and have to wear a mask, it's not because you got vaccinated. It's because your neighbors didn't.

She’s off to a great start, isn’t she? And now for the dismount:
Until we have a vaxx for 12 and under and enough vaccinated ppl to protect the vulnerable, the responsible folks, including school children, are going to be punished for other people's mistakes.
That's the reality. Let's be very up front about who is to blame.

If we’re being upfront about who’s to blame, we’d be remiss if we didn’t include self-righteous know-it-alls like Amanda Carpenter, who has just done her part to further undermine vaccine confidence.
Weird antivaxx argument, but okay. https://t.co/9bR3CedhKA

I’m sure a message of “the vaccines don’t work,” which is what Amanda is saying, whether she realizes it or not, will surely get people to get vaccinated. https://t.co/PRwYRaVVwJ

Stop helping, Amanda. You’ve done more than enough.
Nope. Their risk. I’m not responsible for them.

No, it’s because the CDC has decided that I’m responsible for the health of my unvaccinated neighbor.

It’s because you don’t actually trust the science. The vaccines work. You don’t need a mask.

Amanda Carpenter can wear her mask to slow the spread of COVID19 if she wants to. She just shouldn’t expect the rest of us to do it.
And the whole point of getting vaccinated is what? When a person gets vaccinated for other things they don’t have to worry about the people that didn’t because the vaccine protects them. The way it stands, everyone could get vaxxed & we would still have COVID

Maybe, just to be extra safe, Amanda should also wear a strip of duct tape over her mouth. Spreading unscientific misinformation can be just as dangerous and deadly as COVID19, after all.
Guess she was always a grifter at heart.
