Homeless Man Expertly Shuts Down Anti-Vaxxer Who Asked Why Homeless Aren't Dead Of COVID

Homeless Man Expertly Shuts Down Anti-Vaxxer Who Asked Why Homeless Aren't Dead Of COVID

A homeless man's quick response to an anti-vaxxer protester who tried to use him as an example to prove her point has people on Twitter cheering.

The protest was led by a woman yelling conspiracy theories into a bullhorn.


When she tried to involve a local homeless man named Ray in her rhetoric, asking why he wasn't dead of the virus, he shut her down immediately by hollering back a very simple answer—they're vaccinated.

See the moment below.

WARNING: NSFW language


The protest took place on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles this past Saturday morning.

It didn't appear to be very well attended. But with bullhorn in hand, the group's leader made plenty of ruckus anyway.

As she and the group passed by Ray, who was walking down the street with his belongings, the woman decided to involve him and other homeless people in the area in her rhetoric.

Without asking—and speaking about them as if they were inanimate objects that couldn't hear her—the woman bellowed:

"Do you see all of these homeless people around. Are they dead in the street from Covid? Hell no! Why?"

Ray immediately bellowed back:

"Because I'm vaccinated, dumb fu*k!"

The woman, seemingly unfazed by the truly epic clapback she'd just been dealt, simply kept on yelling her conspiracy theories.

The man who filmed the encounter was able to catch up with Ray a few hours later.

In a video shared in a follow-up tweet, he was able to learn a bit about him and thank him for his great comeback to the anti-vaxxer who tried to use him to spread her conspiracy theories.

"Ray gave the whole country, honestly internationally, people not just a good laugh but honestly sends a strong message."
He also set up a GoFundMe for Ray to help him get an ID, a cell phone and some money to get back on his feet.







On Twitter, Ray quickly became a hero for his snappy response to the anti-vaxxer.










As of this writing, the GoFundMe for Ray has raised more than $17,000.

Here's hoping it serves our new public health hero well.

Newsmax Host Epically Blasted For His Hypocrisy After Defending Trump's Profane Easter Tweet

Newsmax host Greg Kelly defended President Donald Trump's use of profanity in his Easter morning threat to Iran, prompting critics to resurface one of his own past tweets calling for a ban on use of the f-word.

Trump lashed out at Iran amid growing concerns about tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow passage at the entrance to the Persian Gulf that carries roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply. Recently, Iran has struck several vessels in the area and warned ships against entering the passage, effectively halting traffic through one of the world’s most crucial energy routes.

MAGA Politicians Called Out After Falling For AI-Generated Photo Of U.S. Airmen Rescue In Iran

At least two Republican politicians are facing criticism after they fell for a clearly A.I.-generated photo of the rescue of two U.S. airmen whose fighter jet went down in Iran over the weekend.

U.S. special forces rescued the second crew member of an F-15 fighter jet shot down over Iran, according to three U.S. officials cited by Axios. The crew member, a weapons systems officer, was wounded after ejecting from the aircraft Friday but was able to walk and evaded capture in the mountains for more than a day.
