Man Demolishes Vaccine Opponent's Argument About Homeless People In Just 6 Words
An apparently homeless man demolished an anti-vaccine protester’s argument on Saturday ― and he only needed six words to do it.
A clip posted on Twitter by @FilmThePoliceLA shows a woman walking down Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles with a bullhorn claiming the coronavirus is a hoax.
At one point, she asks rhetorically, “Do you seeall of these homeless people around? Are they dead in the street with COVID? Hell no. Why?”
The unidentified man pipes up with a pretty good explanation: “Because I’m vaccinated, you dumb fuck.”
Hollywood Blvd, Saturday, 11:22 AM:
ANTI-VAXX PROTESTER: Do you see all of these homeless people around. Are they dead in the street with COVID? Hell no. Why?

Numerous studies show that getting vaccinated against COVID-19 helps reduce the chance of hospitalization or death from the virus.
Not surprisingly, many Twitter users responded positively to the man’s remark. In fact, “Because I’m vaccinated you dumb fuck” started trending on Twitter on Tuesday.
May make this my ringtone. It’s perfect. And hilarious.🤣

The person who filmed the exchange later tweeted that he was attempting to find out the identity of “this patriot.”
Today I’m gonna search for this patriot.
Once we find him, it’d be cool if someone could handle setting up a gofundme for him.— Film The Police LA (@FilmThePoliceLA) October 6, 2021
Later, the Twitter user shared that he had found the man, whose name is “Ray,” and that he was taking steps to help him out.
FOUND HIM.
His name is Ray. Walking to the bank to get him some immediate cash.
He doesn’t have ID nor a phone. He’s waiting on his ID. Says he plans on getting phone after.— Film The Police LA (@FilmThePoliceLA) October 6, 2021
We found the king. His name is Ray. Super-intelligent with a gentle demeanor.
He will soon have a cell phone and ID voucher. Once he gets those (in a couple hours) we can begin setting-up the Gofundme. Trying to separate myself from that process.😅 https://t.co/sKUFVjnaVmpic.twitter.com/J5vwWaqRll— Film The Police LA (@FilmThePoliceLA) October 6, 2021
