THIS IS .

BOB LIKES TO DEBATE, BUT HE ISN'T GOOD AT IT.

WHEN YOU DISAGREE INSIST THAT THE ONLY REASON YOU DISAGREE IS THAT YOU ARE AFRAID.

IF YOU GET VACCINATED, BOB WILL SAY YOU ARE AFRAID OF CATCHING A SNIFFLE.

IF YOU DON'T GET VACCINATED, BOB WILL SAY YOU ARE AFRAID OF GETTING THE SHOT.

BOB BELIEVES YOUR THINKING PROCESS DOES NOT EXTEND BEYOND YOUR FEARS.

THAT'S BECAUSE BOB IS A MORON WHO PROJECTS HIS ONE-DIMENSIONAL WORLDVIEW ON OTHERS.

SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE AFRAID TO ADMIT I'M A BETTER DEBATER THAN YOU.

THERE IT IS
