Have we really tried everything?

Look, I don't want to tell the CDC how to CDC, but have they tried telling Republicans not to wear masks? I know, I know, sounds crazy, but House Minority Leader and noted moron (what? She's not wrong), Kevin McCarthy held a press conference in front of the Capitol yesterday to complain about how everything wrong with everything is Joe Biden's fault and if he wants us to wear masks then damnit, we're not doing it and I just can't help but wonder if maybe a little reverse psychology wouldn't work, you know? 
"Waaaaaaaaaaah, I don't like wearing a mask, waaaaaah."
-House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy
"The enemy of our enemy is our friend.
And also it's a virus, so hurray for the virus!"
-The Republican Party
Look, we're in the middle of a resurgent pandemic which would go away if these idiots in the GOP would stop telling the rank and file idiots who vote for them to mask up and get the shot. But they won't because in their Trump-addled minds every new COVID case makes the President look bad. At the CPAC, these people applauded the fact that the country didn't make Biden's goal of 70% vaccinated by the Fourth of July. They applauded the pandemic. Holy shit, the party of Lincoln, everybody.

Just so I'm clear on this, the Right is pro-law
enforcement, but only when they're murdering
Black people? When they defend the Capitol
against white insurgents, then they're wusses?
The administration and the medical community has tried begging, they've tried pleading, they've appealed to their sense of decency and reason and nothing works. The Right is so consumed with blind rage over the fact that their shitty, narcissistic, man-baby lost the election that they'd rather see people die a slow death by asphyxiation rather than admit that we all have a common cause in getting past this pandemic. I mean, I know these are the same people who seven months ago were keeping their fingers crossed that an angry mob would successfully take over the government, but goddamn. Goddamn. 

So what I'm saying is that if we want these nutters to shut up and get their damn shot so we can all go back to our regular lives of breathing on each other and movie attendance, all we need is Nancy Pelosi to hold her own press conference and tell everyone not to get vaccinated. Then she could wink or something, so we all know what she was doing. People would turn out in droves. The line to get vaccinated would be longer than a polling place in a Democratically leaning district in Georgia. 
"You know what I really hate? The vaccine. Definitely don't get vaccinated <wink>.
And masks? Don't get me started <wink> <wink>. Oh, and while we're at it whatever
you do, don't lick the floor in a gas station restroom. That would really ruin my day."
-Pelosi, using reverse psychology
and having some fun with the dumbs
