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!
I’ve seen the anti-vaxxers out and about. They have all these photos of people on little sticks and you think it’s going to be people who allegedly died of vaccines, but when you get up close it’s all stuff like “Marie had the Moderna vaccine. A day later she sprained her ankle climbing down off a horse.” “John had a sniffly nose a few weeks after Pfizer.”
"I know people who got the vaccine and died right after"
Ok. And I know 1,000,000x more people that didn't get the vaccine and died from COVID. Even if they died from the vaccine (they didn't), the vaccine is safer.
ask 'em to name the people though and suddenly there's a new topic to discuss
There is genuinely a small percentage of the population who is severely allergic to the vaccine. It happened to someone I know. She didn't die of course - but yeah, was in hospital for a while and couldn't take the subsequent shots after that first one. It was pretty rough.
Happily, the vaccines were administered in the presence of health professionals with a proper plan in-place especially to deal with these cases. They're aren't jabbing people with cow medicine they bought off the black market in their own back yards.
Allegedly there are two known instances of people in the US dying due to complications from the vaccine, though one of them wasn't the mRNA vaccine that the anti-vaxxers were most scared of. Compare that to the over 1 million people who died from COVID.
I would even bet that she wasn't allergic to the scary-sounding part of the vaccine, the mRNA. I would bet it was something like the fats the vaccine mRNA was suspended in, or the sugar/acid stabilizers in the solution that made up the majority of the liquid.
I am not medical at all, so don't take me as any kind of expert. But it would have been Pfizer - the first shot 40-somethings in Australia received. Is that one even mRNA based?
I think so. Of the major vaccines, only J&J&J wasn't mRNA based.
In laws were making noises about ivermectin, we actually managed to knock that one square on the head when we casually mentioned "Oh yeah, that's the stuff we used to give our rats" looooool
And there's even more people that died after drinking water lol 😂
Which is statistically more dangerous.
Dictator Dan is just biding his time before the full communist takeover!!!
I wish
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE EAST WEST LIIIIIIIIIIINK
(no lie, still see bitches whining about that....)
I'm still waiting for them to pull Commonwealth games out of their ass
Oh they started that as soon as the news broke. "BiLliON wAsTEd!! 11oneoneone"
Tell me about it... They shit me up the walls.
Now they have their "say no to the voice" rally with actual literal Nazi's. I mean conspiracy theory territory can get alt-right very quickly but to have actual Nazi's at your rally... You fucked up.
Honestly at this point you need to send some mental health professionals after them. They clearly aren't doing well and lockdowns broke something. Given the state of mental healthcare in Australia though good fuckin' luck.
My ex-stepdad was (supposedly from his mouth but I went no contact with him once he left) a huge conspiracy theory person. Vaccines cause Autism, Alex Jones was a huge presence in my house, anti-anything left of centre. Funny thing is, he's Canadian. But when he spoke to my mum about something she had contacted him about, he mentioned to her how the last lockdown at the time was what did it for him. And now he's "supposedly" not a massive conspiracy theorist nut job. So what I'm trying to say is, yes, I agree, we need mental health professionals working with these people. Because if I can go off my ex-stepdad and his problems, then I'm sure there's a large majority of these dickheads who are probably of similar or worse mental health.
they are beyond help mate. the only thing covid did was embolden them
