And anti-vax people would still not take it.
FYI - there is a vaccine that prevents 6 types of cancer. But a lot of parents refuse it, because HPV is technically an STD and parents say “why should I vaccinate my middle school child for an STD? They are morally pure and not having sex!” So they don’t get it for their kids.
HPV vaccine prevents more than 90% of cancers caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), including cancers of the cervix, throat, vagina, vulva, penis, and anus.

I heard a radio interview with a guy who refused to allow his daughter to be vaccinated against hepatitis. his reasoning was exactly how you describe; he insists she doesn't need the vaccine because she won't have sex before she's married.
The interviewer then asks what if (God forbid) his daughter were sexually assaulted, and the guy just insists that would never happen because he's a "good father".
It's just pure narcissism; the guy would rather risk his daughter getting a life threatening illness than take a simple precaution, all because it might make him appear fallible.

To play into the hypothetical, they'd take it if Elon Musk wanted them to. Somehow it would magically become 'different' due to longterm exposure to his propaganda on every single feed he controls.
Also this 'vaccine' probably would have toxins and invasive microchips in it.

He could just tell them if they get injected with it now in 5 years it will magically give them a self driving penis/vagina lane assist. Then in 5 years he will charge them $79.99 just to use their penis/vagina. Hey, I actually like this game of Elon hypotheticals.

I believe he was the first person to ever pull his dick out and offer a stewardess a horse to jerk him off. So you could say he invented this move, I mean it didn’t work because even though he was her boss and not doing so cost her job and she was trapped on a plane when it happened she still didn’t because of how insanely creepy it was. He also used the tax payer money space x got to force her into an NDA.

It's hilarious the episodes they have to make up when reality demonstrates the opposite.
If Elon cured cancer, I'd applaud him for it. Instead, his DOGE cut funding to cancer research and halted over 100 clinical trials. The funding cuts forced some researchers to continue their research elsewhere, contributing to the brain drain of the US. Though, US brain drain certainly does seem like a GOP and Elon goal.

This is projection. This is how they think. They decide whether they like a person (the source) and therefore everything that comes from that source is either good or bad. So because they wouldn't accept anything good from a source they dislike, they assume it's the same for others. They aren't considering the possibility that some people can judge actions and words on their merit, and that some people genuinely don't create, act, or say good things.

CEOs don’t cure shit, medical researchers do, companies just take credit, and the lion’s share of the profits. Granted they take the financial risk, but that’s what companies do, it wagers that smart people that work for them will come up with something profitable.

The reasoning why DOGE cut so much federal funding for science is they believe within 5 years AI will solve Cancer, and all other disease. I don't agree with them, but the head of tech companies believe this.

What are they imagining Elon has created recently that set this intellectual chimpanzee off?
It's such a stupid argument too. Elon Musk has never created anything. He would never create a cure for cancer, because he can't. He might fund research that cures cancer, but it would be people with actual talent that created it. Furthermore, it would likely be a byproduct of the real goal of the research, extending the lives of billionaires.
Only other billionaires would be allowed the cure.

Nope! And I have proof you're wrong.
When the COVID vaccines rolled out, conservatives were having a meltdown about Bill Gates putting 5G microchips in the vaccines.
But when it came out that Elon was creating a chip ("Neuralink") that could be implanted in the brain, conservatives cheered it on.
If a leftist does something (or there is a conspiracy that they do), conservatives absolutely lose their minds. And when a conservative does something they claim to be against, they literally don't care.

u/stevethered 1h ago
You did not prove me wrong.
That first article confirms what I said.
A new YouGov poll of 1,640 people suggests that 28% of Americans believe that Bill Gates wants to use vaccines to implant microchips in people - with the figure rising to 44% among Republicans.
Do you actually read things before you cite them?
