Rep Lauren Boebert is once again facing ridicule on Twitter, this time for making an ill-conceived comparison between allergy medication and Covid vaccines.
“As allergy season gets underway, I encourage everyone to take their allergy medicines so that my allergy medicines can work,” the Colorado Republican tweeted on Wednesday. “You know, it doesn’t work unless everyone takes it.”
The congresswoman added an eye-rolling emoji to drive home her sarcasm. It was not completely clear what she meant, but the tweet appeared to imply that Covid-19 vaccines are somehow less effective than allergy medicine.

The problem with this comparison, to many Twitter users, was obvious.
“You know allergies aren’t contagious, right?” tweeted one reader.
“Allergies aren’t contagious, Lieutenant Corporal,” another wrote, referring to the garbled military title Ms Boebert bestowed on a dead US soldier.
“Yeah. You’re so right,” someone else responded sarcastically. “I remember when I caught that terrible allergy last year from someone who didn’t take their meds because as everyone knows allergies are terribly contagious, and I died.”...

All of her tweets are bizarre though...but yeah this is pretty out there. I wonder if she actually reads the things she posts before she hits send. Like she actually read that and said "Yep I'll post this."
She has to know that allergies aren't contagious...right? Like she has to know...
