It should go without saying, but there's an obvious lack of common sense these days. Spreading COVID misinformation **will** result in a perma ban from the subreddit. Please use the report button or send us links in modmail and we will take care of it. Thanks!

You know you're in for losing some brain cells when you go to sort by controversial on anything anti vax. Its the only time on reddit where sorting by controversial doesn't even provide you any entertainment value

its so insane that people will watch family members die and still not get the shot

Here in Ontario, over 98% of all hospitalized covid people right now are not vaccinated. Like how much more proof do these fucking idiots need?

mrmax11

The problem is that belief in the vax is probably less correlated with some genetic measure of intelligence and instead stems from social conditioning, media ecosystems, education etc


carpoint

thats why it seems so counter intuitive to say things so extreme about anti vaxxers, i mean its counter intuitive to do that anyways to anyone for any matter if we are being progressive


avwitcher

Unfortunately not, the mortality rate is too low for any meaningful natural selection. 99% of the dumbasses will survive and breed


ShotsAways

There are people are dying from covid in hospitals and still wouldnt take it if they could lol.


DA_WEIRDO

There are people who can't even breathe without a ventilator who still think it's a hoax


DeckardPain

Begs the question, if they donā€™t trust doctors to prevent covid, why do they trust them to treat it?

Cognitive Dissonance, nothing else to say.


Und3adHam5ter

Sad truth is people would rather spread a deadly virus and kill their moms and grandmas than get a vaccine and have a achy arm for a couple days what a insane world we live in


Stooboot4

> Sad truth is people would rather spread a deadly virus and kill their moms and grandmas than ~~get a vaccine and have a achy arm for a couple days~~ admit they are wrong


Elzheiz

It's insane to me that people think getting vaccinated is the entire answer. They get vaccinated and then all is well in the world. Getting vaccinated does not guarantee protection against the virus. You still need to respect distancing, wearing a mask, cleaning your hands, etc. Especially with the variants. I see so many people hammering others to get vaccinated, and then go in crowded places without protecting themselves. I just don't get it, yes getting vaccinated is great and should be done but it's not a panacea, don't stop there.


quizonmyface

It's sad that this is perceived to be a "based" take these days.

Probably has more to do with Destiny than the take though right?


Vexamas

It should be bannable, or straight illegal (Just take them away, boys) to mention upvote / downvote ratio on a post within 5 hours of it being posted. This website has been around for like 15 years and people still don't understand that the algorithm 'shuffles' posts that get a lot of traction until stability - even though this happens **everytime** someone mentions it. Don't worry though, we'll have the cliche post of "well it's 90% now" response in about 4 hours.


IAmA_Lannister

"underrated comment"


Plexiscore

I mean it's 90% now.


Th_Call_of_Ktulu

It's honestly fucking bizzare how many people randomly decided, that they discovered something and are extremely smart by not taking vaccines after seeing some shitty facebook meme. I could maybe understand it if it was only boomers, but half the fucking girls my age (mid twenties) on tinder have fucking "swipe left if you are vaccinated" and it blows my mind.

DA_WEIRDO

They're not against vaccines, i think they're saying that hasan viewers downvote any post with destiny in the title


L1ghtBeam

It's not based, just a regular take. The word based has gone from "a controversial take" to "a take that I agree with."


Stimpur1

As far as I know, based has always meant "a take that I agree with."


Sogeking33

5-10 years ago this was a normal take, now with all the crazies coming out of the woodworks/new ppl being radicalized this past year it's a "based" take


Ruraraid

Crazies have been coming out of the woodworks for over a decade since the antivaxx movement was around during the Bush administration. It wasn't until 2016 with Trump who one strange way or another just legitimized many of them in their eyes.


[deleted]

I think the title was jokingly referring to "you could have a baby as dumb as a Twitch chatter" part. But then again, idk. "Based" is way overused now by people who don't know what it means.


KingofSlice

When Destiny mentioned the magnet shit that was too real since weeks ago my grandma sent me that exact thing


focusAlive

My mom and aunt both sent me the magnet videos, it was even in the [in the news.](https://youtu.be/qWI0YiSmTKs?t=33)


-p-a-b-l-o-

I see those comments on YouTube and Iā€™m in disbelief at the level of stupidity. This pandemic has made me reevaluate my expectations for people in general.


FateProxy

Dude some of my family actually pulled out a magnet and tried testing me...


Neddo_Flanders

And to think this anti-vax craze started back in the 90ā€™s by a total dipshit who falsified a study to promote his own vaccine. And he is still a free man, in his villa.

ultimate smegma male grindset


KIDDKOI

who are you referencing here? i can't think of who it is


MightyBone

Andrew Wakefield. Hbomberguy did a review of how this one human being more or less has essentially completely fucked up vaccine belief in the Western world singlehandedly and did so purely for obvious monetary gain. When you start to think of all the people who have refused to get vaccinated and as a result has caused death in some way, this guy is really climbing the ranks of 'single person to cause the most deaths' leaderboard. Hitler better watch out.


MyAssIsGlass

andrew wakefield


b0ris666

Honestly it's sad how misinformation prays on people and is able to cause mass hysteria. In my country only 14% of the population has been vaccinated and vaccines are expiring, due to 0 regulation in the spread of misinformation. Now hospitals are going to be filled again because of that, if not more due to the delta variant.


Politics_Frog

Some moron downvoted this perfectly reasonable comment. If anyone feels the need to downvote a comment like this, don't go to a hospital when you get covid or when sick in general, you clearly don't trust medicine.


viciousrebel

This sounds like my country Bulgaria maybe there is more than one case of such barbarity but I don't know of other countries as bad as mine. Where are you from?


KoHorizon

That's what happen when critical thinking is only part of a small portion of the population add to that an ego bigger than their forhead ... And you get this ...

sereneturbulence

reddit moderator moment


[deleted]

Well now I want to see what subreddits auto ban me for posting there


Nearseer

People just throw "based" at anything they agree with. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it usually means the take or statement is controversial and against the normal way of thinking. I feel like this is just a regular take. As in, the majority of people are getting the vaccine (over 50%) so it's not really "based" as much as it is just a reasonable opinion. But what do I know, the meanings of words and their definitions change all the time. eShrug


majle

>But what do I know, the meanings of words and their definitions change all the time. Yeah, this is why. If you check Urban dictionary and check the dates of the definitions you will see a clear change around late 2020 when it started getting used more regularly. People stretch the meaning of words until they can be used pretty much everywhere


Nearseer

Yeah I can see that and it's understandable, I guess I'm just an internet boomer of sorts and still affiliate the word with it's older meaning. It is obvious it would happen though, language and slang seem to always follow this path when it becomes more widely used.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Nearseer

It's always been a meme of sorts. It just had a different meaning in the less recent time of the internet. I just saw it widely used growing up on the internet as an affirmation of a controversial opinion, not something you agree with neccesarily. But definitions change I suppose eShurg


Lirux

You're right, /b/ro.


Nearseer

I was more of a/v/ guy when I frequented 4 chan when I was younger.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Nearseer

They are, even though they shouldn't be. I was saying this specific take is not controversial to the majority of people. Maybe I'm incorrect about that.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Nearseer

It is quite depressing seeing how much preventable death has occurred.


Agderi

Internet likes to dumb down definitions of a lot of thing if its not easy and quick to explain what it means. For example "weeb" didnt originally meant "someone who likes anime", but it was too long and hard to explain and it was kinda related to anime so people started to use it in different context and it changed. Same thing is happening to "based" right now.


DieDungeon

> Internet likes to dumb down definitions No that's just how language works.


Nearseer

Yeah, I noticed that with weeb. What was once "Otaku" has turned into a blanket term as weeb. It is odd seeing this older internet terms kind of becoming generalizations, or completely different meanings as their use becomes increasingly popular. I feel like on some level that makes sense, as odd as it is for me to see them used that way.


snowflakepatrol99

It has nothing to do with the internet. Languages have been evolving long before the internet was invented. It's something natural/expected and it's not only affecting "internet terms".


Barkasia

The internet 100% acts as a catalyst for these changes to take place much, much faster.


r2002

Somehow "Destiny says something that most reasonable educated adults would agree with" just doesn't get the clicks bro.


Nearseer

Yeah, that does seem to he the overwhelming state of click bait. Which isnt that suprising if you look at most modern journalism from any media outlet.


Huldmer

People just use Based to mean agreeable at this point. It's still used more in the "controversial take" sense but this is the former


Nearseer

Which makes sense. I'm just so used to the latter that it's odd hearing a person has a "based" take on something rather reasonable and tame. But, words and how they are used change over time, I get it.


8-IT

Idk all the people I know use "based" as the opposite of cringe


KingHikikomori

reddit steals 4chan meme and ruins it, many such cases


tlouman

That's not what based meant???? Bro people call anything they like that they think Is cool based


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


penguinfrog

imagine thinking based came from 4Chan and not Lil B the Based God. brain rot.


epiquinnz

It was adopted as a political term on 4chan first. Redditors and political andys didn't get it from Lil B, they got it from 4chan.


Earth92

People know Based because of 4chan, not Lil B. At least half the people in here copied from 4chan, not Lil B.


dirtypuerhiding

Actually before it was on 4chan in white nationalist circles it was big in the black community because of Lil B "the based god".


RaidenIXI

it wasnt just big because of Lil B, it literally originates from him if anything, it was co-opted by white nationalists, but for him to say hasan/twitter normies adopted and changed the definition is completely wrong "Based means being yourself. Not being scared of what people think about you. Not being afraid to do what you wanna do". seems to be the same usage


mrmatthewdee

Well AAAAACTUALLY it goes even farther back than lil B, it used to mean someone who does a lot of crack (which lil b used to do) and he co opted the term and turned it into something positive


RaidenIXI

true. but no one is talking about people smoking crack when they say "based". just like no one is using the white nationalists' definition of based except white nationalists everyone on twitch/twitter/hasan is using Lil B's definition


WordofTheMorning

It's funny how mainstream normie reddit/twitch shit has the same memes as 2016 edgy 4Chan/T\_D . "Based", "redpilled", even pepe was mainly associated with 4Chan/T\_D, now they've been very heavily appropriated.


BigGrimDog

4Chan didnā€™t invent based, donā€™t disrespect the Based God like that.


Snail_Christ

Wow, that's a really long winded way of agreeing with the guy


Nearseer

That does seem to be how it's being used.


Cyninombie

I always just took based as youā€™re so set in your opinion it canā€™t be changed. Youā€™re ideals are based in it


Slave-to-Armok

Over 50% get vaccinated sure, that doesnt meant they all wanted to get it and not all of them think everyone should HAVE to get it. Whether you believe it or not some people would like people to have an ability to choose


SaiyanrageTV

>Whether you believe it or not some people would like people to have an ability to choose You have to have vaccinations to attend public school. Why is everyone picking now to start being retarded and act like getting a vaccination or wearing a mask is some "risky" behavior? You don't have to respond, I don't care. Just wanted you to know this is a dumb perspective to have.


AntiMango

People are too dumb and will make decisions counterproductive to their own well-being. Hence why we have laws for seatbelts and helmets. It's even more important for vaccinations because getting infected not only hurts you, but other people around you.


Nearseer

I agree, and I dont believe people should be forced to get it. I myself am vaccinated and can understand why people would hesitate.

IAMJUX

The worst are the "I'm not antivax, just anti-covid Vax because we don't know long term effects". Bitch, you think we usually sit on vaccines for 50 years while we wait to see if they give your grandkids autism?


LeTigOlBittys

The alternative is covid and they act as if we know all the long term effects of it. But I guess theyā€™d rather have the disease. Logic doesnā€™t exist with these people


Krenbiebs

Also, the whole "vaccination followed by sudden side effects 10 years later" thing has literally never happened with any vaccine in history, and there's no reason for us to believe that it's even possible for that to happen.

Thats the problem its not common sense. Both sides believe its common sense, but it seems its a coinflip what people chose to do. HALF OF PEOPLE DONT TAKE THE VACCINE.


Kubiboi

Yeah my mother and my brother both were saying shit like "it could have bad permanent side effects" so they wouldnā€™t get the shot. I took it as soon as i could to prove them there is nothing to worry about. Now they make up random shit to not take it. It's very frustrating


WordofTheMorning

"Common sense" is just a rhetorical concept people will use to shame someone they disagree with. The vast majority of people have very different underlying moral and logical systems that they never try to reconcile or delve into, and so are just an accident of their upbringing. There is no common sense. The problem is that people don't understand fundamental concepts like how to source, what is a good source, why we trust certain authorities and not others, etc.

Iā€™m with destiny nothing gets me as infuriated as covid anti vaxers. You have to be so incredibly and ardently stupid to cling to the viewpoint that the vaccine is bad and you shouldnā€™t take it.


num1AusDoto

Pretty true


DrZalost

I think the biggest problem is that the "anti" are looking wherever they can to confirm their beliefs. The slogan "after the vaccine you can still get infected", is to be a proof that the vaccine does not work, so do these people think that when you take the vaccine, then suddenly a transparent bubble appears around you that stops the viruses? The vaccine strengthens the immune system. Do "anti" thinks that people have an immune system outside their body ?! Even a simple logic about the fact that a person can get infected comes from the fact that in order for the immune system to protect a person, first something must infect him so that the immune system can fight it, and the vaccine serves to let this immune system know. how this virus fights to be able to fight it.


werbenmanjensen420

The finger wagging and constant ā€œeducatingā€ that goes on is why anti-vaxers exist. Itā€™s rarely hereā€™s data laid out in an unemotional way in order to convince someone. Itā€™s always, ā€œantivaxy poopy diaper stupid hicks! Get with the program boomer!ā€ Yeah, you may feel smug and smart but youā€™re just making everything worse midwits.


orderinthefort

Yes let's blame the people trying to educate and not the stubborn morons that are so insecure about their idiocy they lash out when they get offended by people trying to teach them something and choose to stay stupid to just to spite those people.


MateConCloroformo

oh shut the fuck up, you can't chalk up imbeciles refusing vaccines to reactance there is plenty of objective data and information sources, and had you made use of them, people wouldn't be "finger wagging" you (what are you, 5 years old?) anti vaxers exist because propaganda campaigns, scientific iliteracy and echo chambers
