How ironic that Piers Morgan asked Ice Cube if he regretted being vaccinated.

Here are some past quotes from Piers Morgan:

‘I’ve got no problem with those refusing to have the covid vaccines, so long as they have no problem with history recording them as selfish pr*cks who only cared about themselves in a global pandemic.’

"Those who refuse to be vaccinated, with no medical reason not to, should be refused NHS care if they then catch covid. I’m hearing of anti-vaxxers using up ICU beds in London at vast expense to the taxpayer. Let them pay for their own stupidity & selfishness."

Piers is a total buffoon.

Ed Dowd does NOT say the excess mortality is back to normal. It’s actually accelerating.

But the NYT has to say that it is in order to cover up the vax injuries! That was my first thought when I read that they claimed that it's back to normal.

At least he admitted he was wrong, but yeah, he was one of the worst back in the thick of things.

I didn't think he admitted he was wrong. He just loftily granted that as long as the shots don't actually stop the spread, no one should be forced to take them ("It's a personal choice.") However, if there was any way that they could claim the shots were stopping, even slowing, the spread, apparently it would still be virtuous to force them on the population-regardless of injuries or death caused by them.

He went a little further than that in admitting he was wrong. Maybe not quite as far as we here would like, and the vicious words he had for the unvaccinated are reprehensible, but let's give credit where credit is due. I'm certainly still not a fan, but he has very clearly admitted he was wrong on several points (see link below) and that he would do things very differently given the chance. Also giving a platform to Ice Cube's take here is praise-worthy and a couple of years ago was unimaginable from him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8vvDC2Dsjo

I watched the video (thank you for posting the link). He still tries to sophist his way out of responsibility. He's full of caveats and preposterous hypotheticals. I guess it's better than nothing. Unfortunately, he continues to harbor disdain for "ridiculous anti-vaxxers" who object to any vaccines and the Triggernometry guys go right along with him. Have they really learned anything from Covid?

Piers says “the science changed in so I changed (my view)”. Total BS. The science NEVER EXISTED and anyone who did a speck of investigation would have found that out. 4 months of testing is / was a joke. It proved nothing. Other than at month 5 the evidence that the vaccine was a failure became unavoidable.

"So, the unvaccinated may prompt enough new Covid cases/hospitalisations/deaths to necessitate new restrictions incl lockdowns.

And those who will then scream loudest about this infringement of their liberty are.. the unvaccinated."

-Piers Morgan

He said much worse things, but I will have to take some time finding his quotes because they're buried somewhere on the Internet.

Hopefully he's covid vaxxed (and not some staged saline or fake shot)....otherwise he's a big hypocrit and forever untrustworthy. If someone pushed this unproven crap on others at the very least they should have walked the walk and gotten the shots.

Oh no! You mean if I don't get jabbed, I can't get stuck in the hospital receiving the death protocol and refused medicines that actually work??
