Lauren Boebert’s Hot Take On Allergies And Vaccines Shredded As ‘Next Level Stupidity’

LOADINGERROR LOADING

GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert appeared to mock coronavirus vaccines with a tweet about allergies, and people couldn’t believe it was real.

“As allergy season gets underway, I encourage everyone to take their allergy medicines so that my allergy medicines can work,” the conspiracy theory-endorsing extremist Republican tweeted on Wednesday.

“You know, it doesn’t work unless everyone takes it,” she added.

As allergy season gets underway, I encourage everyone to take their allergy medicines so that my allergy medicines can work.

You know, it doesn’t work unless everyone takes it.

Critics, including Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.), were quick to point out that allergies are not contagious.

As more people receive vaccines, such as the ones developed to counter COVID, protection increases for the entire community, others noted.

While it’s possible that Boebert may have been joking with her tweet, she does have a deep history of posting ridiculous claims online.

Today our word of the day is CONTAGIOUS.

Definition of contagious:

“transmissible by direct or indirect contact with an infected person”https://t.co/FtjrMkGkmw https://t.co/iP0TDdBABx

The ignorance here would be stunning in almost every other person except this one, with her track record. It’s one thing to be ignorant - it’s another to put it out voluntarily to prove it and think you’re making the exact opposite point. https://t.co/V8UB4oznYO

Bobo, allergies aren't passed from person to person like viruses.

Yes, antihistamines depend on herd immunity, just like I learned in Med School

OMG I didn't know allergies were contagious!
Lauren for Surgeon General ... what a genius.

Yeah. You're so right. I remember when I caught that terrible allergy last year from someone who didn't take their meds because as everyone knows allergies are terribly contagious, and I died.

Sorry, allergies are not transmissable or contagious. So, that is not necessary. Talk to your doctor, primary care or an allergist.
About vaccinations, yes, that is somewhere true. The more people who are vacinnated means it will work better.
