“any moment now anyone who got the vax is gonna flop over and start foaming at the mouth, I heard it on the My Pillow Guy show.”
I can’t decide which is more depressing, people stupid enough to believe the shit, or the absurd lack of credibility their sources provide - fucking rubes and idiotic liars deserve each other I guess.
If the government wanted to kill people, they’d kill those who refused to comply.
So the thing that would make more sense, is that the COVID vaccine was an antidote, and the government was going to release a toxic gas to kill everyone who didn’t take it.
But nah, their argument is that the government is killing those who comply. Ya, because that makes sense.
That’s one of the things that bugs me about conspiracy theories. So many of them don’t even have a point.
How can so many be people be so wrapped up in conspiracism, but never once have the though, “Oh, wait, why would anyone do this? It’d be pointless.”
It’s because people aren’t wired that way. There’s a name for that phenomenon, but I forgot.
The idea behind it is that people make up “reasons” (conspiracy strategies) that fit the event. A big event needs a big reason, they can’t just accept that some things happen due to accidents or just by chance.
That’s why Covid can’t have been natural, it must have escaped from a lab! The government is giving us free vaccines? It can’t be that they just want to get us back to work, there must be a secret plot behind that!
When you point out its been a long time, and you’re fine, so they say, “Give it 10 more years” lmao wtf just shut up and crawl back under your rock you science denying turnips
And then when you die in 50 years after a long and healthy life: “I told you so!”
Nearly every case I heard about the vax killing people was somebody who was 79 and had poor heart health
Meanwhile virtually every possible (and infrequent) side-effect of the vaccine is also a possible (and frequent) side-effect of COVID.
Like, cardiac issues are possible, very rare side effects of the vaccine. Cardiac issues are common side effects of getting COVID. So, even if you’re really worried about one specific side-effect of the vaccine like pulmonary embolism – guess what, you’re much more likely to have one if you don’t get the vaccine because then you’re much more likely to get it as a COVID side-effect.
I think I’d survive covid decently but the long covid some people ended up with sounds horrifying. Like the people that have had their sense of taste all fucky for years. I love food too much to take that risk. Also, I’d never forgive myself if I found out I carried it around and potentially gave it to others that might not survive it. A few little shots and a little mask are really nothing compared to potentially killing someone’s memaw. It takes so little effort to just not catch it or spread it around people are ridiculous.

Everybody who got the vaccine was supposed to be dead by now, too. This is has gotta be the slowest-acting poison in history!
Being a republican means you never have to admit you’re wrong. You just live in a whole other universe where chemtrails turn the frogs gay, and Trump is an innocent, Christ-like patriot.
Dude that’s a generalization and is just not true.
While it is a generalization, it accurately covers the majority of Republicans who have been vocal online over the last few years.
As far as I’m concerned each side has been just as annoying and incorrect as the other. Have you seen some of the stupid and objectively false things people say? It’s not just conservatives.
One side wants to advance and protect human rights, and the other side wants to ensure some people never have those rights. While there are boneheads on both sides, the core arguments aren’t same-same-but-different. And there seem to be way more people on the far right who are coal and in greater numbers than there are radical leftists.
I wish. They still protest against the lockdowns every saturday down here in Melbs. You know, the lockdowns that are long over. But they want those freedoms that aren’t being restricted in any way, shape or form, dammit!
No time to talk about that now. Busy moving the goal posts.
They still won’t admit they were wrong. They don’t possess the willingness to self reflect whatsoever. Imagine living such an empty husk of an existence.
It wouldn’t really be self reflection, because these people don’t really believe the nonsense they say.
When they say the government is going to stay locked down forever, they don’t mean it literally. To them “lock down” is a vibe and “government” is a vague Them that controls the world. As long as the vibes are fucked and They are in charge, it feels correct.
MAGA: wrong about everything
Operation warpspeed? Never heard of her
Or that everyone who got a vaccine would be dead in a year
Oh shit, I’m a ghost‽
And yet, I’m still paying taxes, wtf.
