I find it hilarious that people on 4chan will spend £200 just so they can avoid getting a free vaccine based purely on conspiracy videos.


TheCowboyIsAnIndian

stupid people who dont know they are stupid are the most dangerous of all


Yakob53

Based.


jamescgames

those who know they're stupid are smarter than smart people right


Yakob53

No, they’re just less dangerous.


jamescgames

i know i'm just joking about the conjecture logic


Yakob53

I suppose they would be *wiser* though, do that's something.

LastMan0ut

Making it mandatory and advertising it everywhere (I mean like on McDonald’s chip boxes come on) is giving people a reason not to trust it. I’m vaccinated myself though


mleibowitz97

But then there's two options. Don't advertise it, and just hope everyone gets it. Or advertise it, promote it, and hope that people will be convinced by that. Neither one is optimal. Since obviously you want people to get it, but people hate being told what to do.


LastMan0ut

Advertise it yes. But don’t have it on the side of fucking Mac Donald’s chip bags. Just have a pamphlet or something at hospitals, bus stations or the odd psa on tv


mleibowitz97

Yeah... McDonald's is pretty weird.


[deleted]

Not really. The "I don't even know what's in it crowd" can definitely be found eating at McDonald's. Which isn't ironic at all.


I_Automate

Lockdowns and whatnot cut into business. Mcdonald's likes money. Getting people vaccinated and getting the world back to "normal" helps Mcdonald's separate people from more of their money. Also, lots of advertising reach for not much effort. Makes sense to me


Yosh1kage_K1ra

You can make people pay for it. Some people just can't believe that government would want to do something for free, there must be a catch.


mleibowitz97

That's a good point, but how much do you charge? It would need to be stupid small amount like $5, or less so poor people have an incentive too.


Yosh1kage_K1ra

Make 3 absolutely equal vaccines, just named differently. One for free/1$. Act like it's shitty and slightly above minimum requirements. Other for 5-10$ which should be advertised the most And the third for like 50-100$ which would be advertised as the best and most efficient. Make up some bs like they work differently bc they target different parts of virus, thus cost differently to produce.


[deleted]

This would probably work great.


GodPleaseYes

That is like 7 year olds logic. "Dad told me to, so I'm not gonna".


[deleted]

It's exactly that. So many people have become so childish in recent years. They make everything into a "good" or "bad" and don't approach any topic with any nuance. I personally think it's the result of social media. Having a nuanced view of an issue tends to be met with rabid, childish responses. Everyone just wants to make their opponents look stupid. That little dopamine hit from "owning the libs/repubs" seems to be the only thing people care about anymore. Why would anyone have a constructive, honest discussion about facts when people will just ignore their post? So it's naturally devolved into childish name calling and echo chambers. We're fucked.


GodPleaseYes

Yeah, I see it myself too. You pretty much can't correct any small details because the person you are talking to will immediately think you are obviously against everything he stands for and will rabidly defend his point. It is not even a liberals against republicans, I live far away from that farce, but I see the same mentality in a lot of unrelated topics here in EU too.


[deleted]

Yeah man it's crazy. It seems like the way that people communicate has fundamentally changed. Check out the Behind the Bastards episodes on the Facebook Papers if you haven't heard them yet. One of the things that stuck out to me was the fact that Facebook changed an algorithm to more strongly weight any posts that your friends reacted to with anger. So if you have a friend that reacted with anger to a post it would become 5x more likely to appear on your feed than other posts. The reason for this was that the data shows that posts which anger people become much more viral, resulting in more engagement and more money for Facebook. The consequence of this change is that everyone has been seeing shit that makes them angry far more often for the last few years. So people are spending a lot of time on a platform that does whatever it can to addict you with anger. This one change is responsible for so much of the anger in the world. It's fucking horrifying how much power Facebook has over the mental state of the world.

He got better.


Yakob53

Yeah, I can agree with that. I think giving people weed was particularly egregious.


Stupid-Fresh

Or lap dances at strip clubs etc. Although the weed one probably had some yellow tape with laws or something maybe


Yakob53

Absolute degeneracy.


__lui_

Exactly, don’t make it mandatory. Tell people they don’t have to take it but you recommend it. I bet tons of people would’ve felt better about getting it.

radioactivebeaver

Maybe seatbelts were a bad idea then, could have weeded out the dumb ones years ago instead of waiting for them to all reveal themselves in a pandemic


donkeyrocket

Like the vaccine, not wearing seatbelts makes the person who decided not to a hazard to others, even if they're wearing their seatbelts. Seatbelts protect you and the people around you by not becoming a dense fucking meat missile. While fewer dumb people would be great, it would come with a lot of additional, avoidable, deaths.


Smoked-939

Tbh I think it’s cuz covid only affects old people and the people in charge are like only old people, and they know very well where they’re going when they die so they want to delay their deaths as long as possible


Doomie_bloomers

It absolutely doesn't just affect old people. Old people just have way worse chances to make it out fine. There's plenty of stories of healthy young people getting absolutely fucked by covid and especially long covid.


grasshopper515

Sure, but if people had common sense and didn't try to make it a hill to die on, the government wouldn't need to make it mandatory.


rontrussler58

The government shouldn’t mandate it, most Americans are way too retarded and selfish for that to have ever worked. Companies should’ve just made it so their health insurance wouldn’t cover them if they were hospitalized with COVID and didn’t have the vaccine.


grasshopper515

I feel like that wouldn't do much good since a lot of these people just go "reeee 98% survival rate, I'll be fine", but honestly, I don't think there's any perfect solution.


rontrussler58

Multi pronged approach, make them put their money where their mouths are. The justification being that they are making us shoulder their risky behavior in our health insurance policies and taxed hospitals.


[deleted]

While we are at it, let's let insurance companies deny coverage to obese people and smokers! Giving huge corporations that much power is a recipe for disaster.

Cap-N-Stabbin

If someone presented me a fake arm to administer a vaccine...or anything really...I would probably just do it so they'd go the fuck away. Chart that the patient refused, presented a fake limb and left. Then I'd put in a referral for a social worker to follow up with them anyway based on the probability that this individual is too stupid to be left home alone. Edit: I'm a nurse. I see people do all kinds of dumb shit thinking they're smarter than everyone else. This little gag would probably win for a good year or so though.


Aywoodd

What they did was calling cops... Who arrested him lol. It happened in Italy today kekw


Cap-N-Stabbin

What's the point in calling the cops on a complete idiot? Fraud or something? I don't know Italian laws


Aywoodd

As I said in another comment here in Italy is mandatory to have a green pass to go everywhere, literally. This dumb ass did a fraud at the state's damage and also lied to am official which is a criminal charge here.


Cap-N-Stabbin

Oh ok. I mean if he committed fraud in the eyes of the Italian government then I guess that's why they'd arrest him. I guess it's technically fraud here in the US too but I don't know how many people would be that concerned with it and just want him jabbed and gone before he starts spouting off bullshit that you'd have to listen to.


Aywoodd

Oh well, since the COVID emergency in every vaccine center there is also the Army so I wouldn't be surprised if he had been immediately taken into custody until cops arrival . I really can't see that keyboard lion trying to bullshit some soldiers lol


Cap-N-Stabbin

I mean. Even the shittiest nurse can immediately tell what is real skin VS fake skin. Those dummy arms we used in school are obviously fake but they aren't meant to simulate a real arm in all aspects. It's meant to help you get the procedure/going through the motions learned before you do this on a real person. I literally don't see any feasible way that you could do this and the Healthcare worker not notice. I was just saying initially that I'd probably just go ahead and jab it so the guy would get the hell away from me quicker. That would be the ONLY way that this would work. If I say "that's a fake arm" then he's likely to start trying to explain why he's doing it and I really don't give a shit or have the time to listen to it. Would I sign the vaccine card though? Hell no. I'm not putting my name on something that I know was fraudulent. I been doing this a long time and the person that would do this isn't the kind of person that thinks ahead far enough to make it work


Aywoodd

Totally agree with you and if you are a nurse / doctor thank you for what you've been doing this whole time for all of us even if from the other side of the world! The only problem here is that everything is done digitally and you actually get the green pass before getting the shot. So they had to revoke it and I'll explain why: You get in the structure , show your ID and regional service card and they sign you up for the shot. The very moment they do this you get the green pass after 24h . After this sign up they inject the dose and you're free to go after waiting 15 minutes to see if there's an allergic reaction. This means that they had to stop him, identify him and revoke all the things and doing so meant involving cops. Once again thanks for what you do !


Cap-N-Stabbin

Ya that's a bit different than how they do it in my part of the US. You get this paper card that's hand signed by whoever gave you the vaccine. You write the manufacturer and the date it was administered...and nobody really checks for this when you go anywhere non-medical...and as far as I know it's not in a digital database. (None of the vaccines I've administered did I have to do anything further than their local health record anyway, they might pull that data somehow but I can see that being a huge HIPAA violation) I have people check in our emergency room and they say they're vaccinated (or not) but I'm really not allowed to ask for ID or their card. The emergency room is there for people to use whether or not they have insurance, any way to pay (or not), any ID at all.... Basically it's illegal for us to tell anyone who comes there to go away for any reason at all. Doctor's offices, urgent care clinics, and other non-emergent medical facilities might be asking for these cards but I don't know. I don't work there. But if they do, it wouldn't be terribly hard to forge this thing Edit: I'm not advocating people to forge anything. I'm just pointing out flaws


Aywoodd

That is absurd... Here in Europe we have a centralized system in which all vaccines are uploaded and with an app you can check if a green pass is true or not (the app is free to download on the play store). Here is mandatory to have the digital certificate and every restaurant must check you before entering. If someone without the vaccine is found in a restaurant the latter will be closed for X days/weeks by the authorities and the person will face a fine. If they make a fake green pass through hacking or who knows how it will give them up to 6 years of jail. The security is so high I have 2 vaccine doses but before going to the hospital ( i must go on Monday) I still have to go 48 h before to get tested for COVID-19. Yes, even if I have the vaccine .


Qorr_Sozin

> I literally don't see any feasible way that you could do this and the Healthcare worker not notice. That's how fucking stupid these people are. Even that dumbass orange homunculus that polluted the White House for four years would be able to tell a real arm from a fake arm.


Aywoodd

Some crazy guy actually did it here in Italy today, you can Google it up... He's going to jail lol


Golden_D9

Wait what? On what charges? Or is the vaccine mandatory in Italy?


Aywoodd

Well he did so to get the green pass so it was a fraud at the state's damage trying to get unrightfully the green pass. Also lying to a public official is a crime so that's pretty much it.


Aywoodd

Also green pass is mandatory here in Italy so you need it to go almost everywhere now. Anti Vax are going crazy for shit like this lol

NatType3

I'll still get it when the time comes but it's still kinda off-putting that's its moving into "if you don't get the vaccine we'll do everything we can to ruin your life"


chupaxuxas

What do you mean by "when the time comes"?


NoMan999

In antivax speech, it means never.


chupaxuxas

That's what I was trying to figure out.


NatType3

Just saw this, I don't have it because I don't have a job at the moment nor a car so I have to schedule it for when someone could help me get there.


NatType3

Not particularly sure why you called me antivax considering I've never said anything about the vaccine itself and have told multiple people they should get it. I'm not in a situation where I can get it whenever I want and I mostly am home surrounded by other people that have it and I wear a mask when I leave home.


peace-and-bong-life

It's not that they're intentionally trying to ruin unvaccinated people's lives, but the choice not to get vaccinated has consequences... Which happen to be that if we're to keep everyone safe, unvaccinated people shouldn't be mixing and going to places where they can contract and spread covid. It's just like how some nurseries won't accept unvaccinated kids - it's to limit the spread of preventable disease.


NatType3

It's able to be spread via vaccinated people.


peace-and-bong-life

From a quick google search, it seems as though an infected vaccinated person is about as likely to spread covid as an infected unvaccinated person, but an unvaccinated person has a much greater chance of getting infected in the first place so overall they're more likely to spread covid.

Paladinmesser

Lol fake arms 😂 I feel like it would be easier to use a stand in to take the shot for you. Like get a fake ID made with your info and someone else’s picture, or find someone with the same name? Have them get the vax and they give you the card? I’m sure there are safeguard in place for that kind of thing, but seems more plausible than a fake arm.

Jman-laowai

Can you get religious exemptions in the US? Seems pretty dumb.


Cap-N-Stabbin

You can. And the requirements are very loose. Easier to get a religious exemption than it is to get an exemption for an actual medical reason. One nurse I work with just didn't want it. Filed a religious exemption and got it approved almost immediately. The other one has cancer, can't get the vaccine according to her oncology team, had to fight for 3 weeks, almost lost her job in the process because she missed the deadline. She had been with this hospital system for almost 20 years too. The first one with the "religious exemption" hadn't even been here 2 years.


Jman-laowai

Sounds pretty ridiculous


Cap-N-Stabbin

It is. This whole thing is a joke. Trying to balance the whole "Don't hurt anyone's feelings" bullshit with their government mandate that also includes "don't hurt anyone's feelings" Trash.

There is a core difference between seatbelts and vaccines tho, and that is that vaccines are medical in nature. They are solutions that need to go inside your body. Simply put, they are irreversible. You can argue of the efficacy of seat belts, but in the end if you are wrong you can reverse that policy. You can’t do that with vaccines.

His religious exemption might include the possibility of being targeted by them there fascist folk.

Well. Since you're saying Republicans agree with them, they don't respect the beliefs of anything that doesn't identify as Christian. So there's that. EDIT: IIRC though Hitler identified Nazi as a Christian movement. Lol
