My dad just screamed at me on the phone because I disagreed that 1) Bill Gates is running the CDC and that 2) the government is going to force him to get a COVID vaccine just as they& #39;ve "forced him" to get a flu shot every year.
Pretty regular Monday, really.
Pretty regular Monday, really.
His logic:
1. Bill Gates runs the CDC.
2. That& #39;s why only 9,000 people have *actually* died of COVID.
3. That& #39;s why he& #39;s investing $10M into a vaccine production.
My question for him:
1. Why would Bill Gates waste $10M on a vaccine for something that& #39;s only killed 9K people?

My question for him:
1. Why would Bill Gates waste $10M on a vaccine for something that& #39;s only killed 9K people?
His answer:
1. Well, because he came out and said he& #39;s going to make 20-to-1 on his money!
My question:
1. How is he going to make his money when no one is dying of COVID? If he was running the CDC, wouldn& #39;t he want to make it look like EVERYONE is dying of COVID?

His answers:
1. It doesn& #39;t matter, he& #39;s going to make money.
2. Theyll just force you to get it.
My question:
1. Who will force you to get it? Bill Gates?
His answer:
1. The government.

His answer:
1. The government.
My question:
1. When is the last time thr government "forced" you to get a vaccine?
His answers:
1. When I joined the military.
2. Every year for the flu shot for Medicare.
My non-question:
1. You have never once been required by Medicare to get a flu shot.

My non-question:
1. You have never once been required by Medicare to get a flu shot.
His screamed answer:
1. YES THEY DO THEY DO EVERY YEAR AND IF YOU DON& #39;T THEY KICK YOU OFF MEDICARE.
My non-screamed question:
1. What happened to you?
His screamed non sequitir:
1. BILL GATES ISN& #39;T FORCING ME TO GET A SHOT.
1. YES THEY DO THEY DO EVERY YEAR AND IF YOU DON& #39;T THEY KICK YOU OFF MEDICARE.
My non-screamed question:
1. What happened to you?
His screamed non sequitir:
1. BILL GATES ISN& #39;T FORCING ME TO GET A SHOT.
My last attempt at a realistic resolution:
1. Who wrote the law that says you have to get a flu shot? When? When did it become law?
2. There isn& #39;t one because no such thing exists. You know that. No one has ever forced you to get a flu shot and you cannot be kicked off Medicare.

His steam-eared accusation:
1. YOU THINK YOU KNOW EVERYTHING.
My calm response:
1. I know about this.
His explosive crescendo:
1. YOU THINK YOU& #39;RE SO MUCH FUCKING SMARTER THAN ME.
My honest acknowledgement:
1. Yes
