I recently discussed how antivax quacks' purported mechanisms for COVID-19 vaccine "shedding" reminded me of homeopaths. The fantastical mechanisms continue.
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."
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.
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.
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.
