Weren’t the same antivax quacks claiming we’d all be dead from the vax within a year? Seems like they are very lacking in the critical thinking department
It's like those doomsday cults that have to change the date after each time the world doesn't end, first they said everyone would drop dead in weeks, then months, I think now they're claiming that it's a slow burner like smoking.
Well I'm dead as a whistle.
I'm dead inside, does that count?
As long as you don't open.
This Plopp wouldn’t “foom” if you put 40,000 volts through him!
I saw vaccine pure blood bumper sticker the other day. I was quite disappointed.
Hahahaha I had forgotten that they use terms like "pure-blood." Some even go so far as to believe that because they're unvaccinated their gametes will be in higher demand because they're "pure."
Some people do. My wife’s friend said as much.
Her father died of the virus and she insists that the doctors secretly executed him for his conservative views. It’s really sad to see that she doubled down rather than face the reality of those harmful beliefs.
Ordinarily I think we shouldn’t judge how a person copes, but when those beliefs are actively harmful and when you integrate them throughout the rest of your life, you have some responsibility to face too. Decisions have consequences.
She’s highly educated and ex military. You would think if anyone would listen to reason…
You're preaching to the choir. My mother is like this too. She is deep in the conspiracy rabbit hole. Used to work as a nurse, really well travelled too.
It's bizarre to see her regurgitate q-anon BS when we're not even in the U.S.
doctors secretly executed him for his conservative views
The sad and messed up reality is:
They believe this, cause they would do so given the chance…
It's a weird flex. The nobles in the past did the blood purity thing and turned themselves into inbred morons. It's how you know it's a fairy tale when it starts with a beautiful princess, because in reality they were all inbred nightmares.
Didn't stop the Nazis from doing it too, and we all know what kind of morons these are
i feel like 95% of these idiots have had the MMR shot when they were kids and don't even remember.
They're terrified of the mRNA vaccine. Because they're incurious about science, they think it's brand new, like invented just for this virus. Try telling them that the delivery mechanism has been around for awhile and scientists have been working on this vaccine since SARS and all they do is cover their ears and hum louder.
The amount of people putting "unvaxxed" in dating sites is shocking. I mean i appreciate the heads up, like all aposematism, but it was genuinely surprising.
At least they made it obvious that you shouldn't bother with them. Imagine you could instantly weed out everyone based on their bullshit beliefs already.
I see a lot of them on tinder.
Minutes after completion, I felt an aching, throbbing, stabbing sensation on one side of my lower abdomen.
This is what happens when you have sex with a person vaccinated about 72 days prior, according to the nut jobs described in this article.
Nurse here, they’re describing uterine fibroids which are often aggravated after, you guessed it, sex
why not just call it what they think it is: Magic.
Does mean that the unvaccinated anti-vaxers will keep away from the vaccinated??
I am really surprised that science blaming can still be turned into a cult in 2024
What is not understood can often be turned into horror, and by Odin do most people not understand shit. Mind you we are all ignorant of most things due to the nature of reality, the problem is assuming you know the unknown.
The more you know the more you realize what you don't know. If you don't know jack shit to start. And learn horse shit your still don't know jack shit. And the realization never hits.
ooh, a link to Science Based Medicine, a really high quality blog. Love these guys
The few that are still alive?
How many quacks are doing this?
