        Eh, they’re still a thing. Guys like Tim Pool are going on about it again, likely in hopes that there’ll be a resurgence in Covid this winter and they can say “see I told you the deep state (or whoever) will try to control us with this again”.

        And with some new mutant covid going around it’s possible we could see hospitals overwhelmed this winter, necessitating mask mandates and possibly even lockdowns again. The covid denier grifters are monitoring covid news and refreshing their conspiracy theories already.

    Weaponised ignorance. These idiots are capable of ruining the lives of innocent people with their hardened bigotry and anti-intellectualism

      I’m immunocompromised and my life still hasn’t gone back to pre-covid normal. I just can’t risk putting my life in other peoples hands when so many people showed they literally couldn’t care less about others.

        The entire “I trust my immune system” is one of the most infuriating parts of their idiotic belief system.

        It’s like saying “I trust my cat” or “I trust the sea to bring me safely back to land” or something stupid like that.

        Have they ever even heard of autoimmune diseases or even allergies or cytokine storms? Given even the slightest opportunity, the immune system can certainly fuck you up real bad.

            I call mine overeager and incompetent. It likes to attack everything but what it is supposed to attack. The running tally of autoimmune diseases is currently at 4. It is bad enough that I am eating medication that is used also in higher doses for chemotherapy. In other words, if I trusted my immune system I would have died long ago as it also doesn’t really function against infections either.

    This is just as much #nottheonion, isn’t it? 😂 But it’s very fitting, given the noticably lower overall intellect and reasoning capabilities of antivaxxers.
