"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 what gets me about flat earthers. The "best" explanation I've seen is that it would show the Bible is true and the elites don't want us to believe in God, but... would it show the Bible is true? Why even start this century long lie in the first place? I don't think discovering the earth is round is what pushed people into secularism in the first place, and revealing now it was wrong wouldn't get people into religion?
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!
This is my same argument for gun ownership as well. While I'm not against people owning guns, to think that us civilians would survive any decent length of time of the government finally came down on us is laughable.
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
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.
No, the way it is currently is any time someone in the news that is seemingly healthy but has a major heart issue (for example Bronny James) they immediately jump and say "IT WAS THE VACCINE!".
