Rifle Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) can’t quit the Twitter. She recently got buried in an avalanche of scorn after a particularly hysterical tweet about the U.S.-Mexico border situation. This followed a disastrous toilet joke and basically blaming God for her place in Congress. No one will ever forget her praise of the Taliban, so what’s Boebert offering up in her latest head-scratcher of a tweet?
She’s, uh, referencing the Office Space boss and his “that would be great” non-catchphrase, and she’s doing so while sarcastically (?) suggesting that it’s dumb to expect everyone to take Tylenol to cure someone else’s headache. It’s a mind-numbingly ineffective attempt to rationalize her disagreement with how herd-immunity-by-vaccination can help keep everyone from getting sick from a virus.
I woke up with a headache this morning. I took some Tylenol. Now if everyone else could take some Tylenol too so mine would start working, that would be great. pic.twitter.com/LaaNHhaokn

Unfortunately, we must note that Boebert did not graduate high school and has spoken about passing the GED exam not too long before being elected to the House. She can’t be making GED earners too happy with her persistent misspellings, and people aren’t thrilled with her straw-man argument which makes zero sense because headaches aren’t communicable, and therefore, they’re not even comparable to Covid.
Trying to compare a headache that isn’t communicable to COVID-19 which has proven itself to be highly communicable is asinine at best. #resignBoebert

This is known as a straw man argument. And a bad one.

What the actual f**k is she on about? Is she comparing vaccination to TYLENOL? Eedjit. Just this morning…then deleted. pic.twitter.com/gimVcADad6

Replace Tylenol with the Covid vaccine… and you might have a tweet worth retweeting.

@laurenboebert seriously be honest for once in your life. Did you actually take your GED or did you pay someone to take it for you.

Headaches are contagious and can mutate?

Tell me you’re not very bright without telling me you’re not very bright.
Education is not overrated, stay in school guys.

Also worth noting: in the 1980s, less than 10 deaths prompted a massive Tylenol recall by Johnson & Johnson, who later transformed the face of the over-the-counter packaging game. That could be a lesson for Boebert (but it likely won’t be).
Also. Funny you bring up Tylenol, the med that changed the entire packaging game when it comes to tamper-proof containers because only a HANDFUL of people died. Because, when people DIE, we make adjustments as a society to save lives.
