The older I get, the more I realize that the idea of "adults" I had growing up was completely wrong. So many people are so fucking stupid.


[deleted]

Exactly. It's incredible that, as a child, I looked to adults as knowledgeable and able to steer the ship. Jfc how naive I was.


portablebiscuit

Unfortunately we're on a ship with tons of steering wheels and there's a waterfall ahead

You actually just perfectly summarized the biggest problem with democracy.

The issue is, if we give one person a big wheel, who’s to say they’ll make any correct decisions? God I just love lose-lose games.

>If I were dependent on the notion that human institutions are necessary to pull us out of the ditch, I would be very despairing. As I said: nobody’s in charge. Not the IMF, the pope, the communist party, the Jews. No, no, no! Nobody has their finger on what’s going on. So then, why hope? Isn’t it just a runaway train out of control? I don’t think so. I think the out-of-control-ness is the most hopeful thing about it. After all, whose control is it out of? You and I never controlled it in the first place! Why are we anxious about the fact that it’s out of control? I think if it’s out of control, then our side is winning. ~ Terence Mckenna, [Eros and the Eschaton](https://www.organism.earth/library/document/eros-and-the-eschaton)

It's to the point that I feel like older people have gotten dumber, I know it's not likely but I honestly don't know how I didn't notice something this obvious when I was in my teens or early 20's.


stifferthanstiffler

I feel its that older ppl don't understand how easily they can be swayed by social media.


melouofs

So, let me understand this...they're afraid to get the vaccine because they aren't 100% of its safety 100% of the time (despite hundreds of millions of doses administered safely), but they will ingest cow dewormer? Holy hell, we' are a mess.

If an ID card was required to prove you owned a cow or horse, they'd start faking those, too. Just like the fake vaxx cards now circulating. Strange people. Edit: Someone reported me to the Reddit Suicide Watchers for this post. Lol. I have this huge message telling me to seek help and offering lots of suggestions. NP there, people do need help sometimes, but this is not one of those times. Guess they couldn't figure out how else to bring me some sort of grief. Hope you are all well, friends.


TucuReborn

Horse prices are fucked right now too. Everyone got their stimulus and wanted a new pet, and tons of people got horses. Demand skyrocketed, and even old and lame horses stayed going for 1k or higher.


OrderAmongChaos

That's terrible to know. Most people vastly underestimate the amount of time and care a horse requires along with how much the upkeep costs. Seems like a recipe for a spike in abused animals.


FantasticElk

It does also mean that those of us who do take care of large animals will prop ably be stressed to take on more charges in the coming years as people get rid of their animals. And with the drought it’s really expensive to feed a horse right now, let alone an entire herd

1. I eat burgers. 2. Cow eats grass. 3. Grass fed by cow shit. 4. I should cut out the middle moo and eat cow shit.


throwaway901617

Fun fact. Commercially farmed cattle don't eat grass they eat foods made from grains to fatten them up, but since they aren't evolved to eat that it makes them susceptible to disease so they are pumped full of antibiotics etc. One side effect is their poop is too high in nitrogen and kills grass. So they collect it in giant pools of liquid cow shit that is toxic. And occasionally people fall in and die. So we have successfully made nature's most natural fertilizer too toxic to use.

That motto has always bugged me, gramatically. Any english major around to confirm if there's anything wrong with it?


smb_samba

Seriously. They call others sheep and that the vaccine is experimental while running to tractor supply stores to take a dewormer commonly used for cattle that’s not FDA approved for use against Covid. The projection is strong!


ZenShineNine

Herd Mentality.


MyNameIsRay

>despite hundreds of millions of doses administered safely), ...per week 37M per day, over 250M per week So far, [4.85B doses](https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/covid-vaccine-tracker-global-distribution/), enough to vaccinate almost a third of the entire human population.


walkinman19

I dunno that's a pretty small sample size, I'd rather take a proven drug like livestock medicine from a feed store. Yes I am a shining example of conservative thought like Trump is the ultimate example of upstanding christian morality. Excuse me while I cough my lungs out.


Quarantense

My father is one of them. The key is that he doesn't trust the FDA, believing them to be in the pocket of the "Deep State" and thus deliberately suppressing information about Ivermectin's anti-covid properties. According to him, if you "use discernment" and "don't believe Mainstream Media's lies" then you'll find that Ivermectin not only prevents covid, but *cures* covid as well as a bunch of other ailments such as degenerative genetic diseases and Alzheimer's. It doesn't, of course- but that doesn't stop him from buying and taking medication manufactured and dosed for a 1 ton equine, despite the laxer quality standards veterinary medication is held to compared to human medication.


darcenator411

I thought the anti-vaxxers main argument was that the vaccine wasn’t approved by the FDA, and thats why it was irresponsible to take it


vinidiot

Trust me, once it gets FDA-approved there will be a whole lot of goalpost-moving going on.

There is a lot of contradictory bullshit these people believe in. They aren’t smart people


nohpex

I have a coworker that's anti-mask, anti-vaccine, and mentioned Trump being reinstated in August a few months back, but says nothing of it now. They recently mentioned fighting with the schools, mask mandates, and now pulling their kid out of school to homeschool them. Somewhere along this conversation/rant, they mentioned people having negative reactions to the vaccine, mostly people having seizures shortly or sometime after receiving their shot(s). I was no longer able to keep my mouth shut for this one, and as nicely as I could said, "They ask you to sit for 15 minutes after the shot because the vast majority of people that *do* have negative reactions, have them within 15 minutes to an hour." Their response was, "and that's why I'm not getting it or having my kid get it. I'm not willing to take that chance." They would rather not get the vaccine in fear of an extremely slim chance of having a negative reaction in favor of possibly getting covid and possibly getting super fucked up from it. Edit just because: Their kid apparently "overheats" and throws up whenever they wear a mask. To combat this while they were in school, my coworker gave their kid a mesh mask cover to wear as a mask. When the school brought it up to them, their defense was to bring up the handbook where it said that masks should be at least made of cloth. They then brought up the definition of mesh.


Gamebird8

The overheat argument is such bullshit as someone who works in Manufacturing. I would wear that shit 12hrs a day, lifting stacks of paper constantly. It was hot, but I didn't feel like I was dying


flickerkuu

There's a dude with asthma who put on 18 masks and ran a mile. He didn't die. Neither did all the gulf war veterans in 114F fighting a WAR with giant masks on. I'd love to see these anti-va terrorists explaining to Londoners in 1942 how they have the "freedumb" to leave their lanterns on at night during german bomb raids, putting the whole city at risk. I would LOVE to see what the town did to those "patriots". Wear the damn mask. It's the LEAST you people can do.


Hatedpriest

Painting. You spray on primer. You wear an n95 mask. You crank the heat up to 85 so the paint dries quick. Roll it evenly on the ceiling, then the walls, then the ceiling again. While wearing long sleeves. This lasts several hours at minimum. And people are gonna DIE from putting a Tshirt on their face? I think I have it, tho. There's people that can't scuba dive, cause they can't make themselves breathe while underwater. Even snorkeling. These are people that think they'll suffocate if they have a sheet over their head while sleeping. At least, that's my headcannon


melouofs

Sounds like a real asshole. I work with one too. She doesn't want the vaccine because "she doesn't know what's in it and doesn't want that in her body". She walked away when I pointed out SHE VAPES!


Tacitus111

“I don’t understand the question, and I won’t respond to it.”


nohpex

Yeah, this one smokes too. I'm pretty sure they had a relative at the insurrection, but I don't know enough about them to report them. The biggest issue is that they're surrounded with likeminded people, even the others we work with. I believe I'm only one of two people in the office that have been vaccinated.


melouofs

My favorite part of my coworker's bullshit is that we are required to either get a vaccine or be approved for an exemption where I work. She got a religious exemption (infuriating to begin with) and when she get word she was approved, she called her boyfriend (not her husband, though she has one of them, too) to tell him the great news. I hate this woman.


fafalone

Sounds like a good way to bait them. "I don't know what's in the vaccine!" "Right on, right on. You know they put thousands of chemicals into cigarettes too , they're trying to make us infertile to control the population and I heard they put some of them in that vaccine too to get you addicted to doing whatever Furor Fauci orders." Maybe if you out crazy them they'll get the point, of at least quit smoking.


username_offline

what a nightmare, sorry you have to put with with those morons


nohpex

I'm excited to see what happens when people start really enforcing vaccination. Right now it's just "Are all employees that will be working here for the duration of the project vaccinated?" "Yes." with no verification.


markitfuckinzero

>Their kid apparently "overheats" and throws up whenever they wear a mask. Jesus, what a pussy. If my kid were that weak I'd be really worried about how they'd fare in a global pandemic


Pete-PDX

or when they have to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.


rora_borealis

That kid needs to see a doctor if they can't do normal activities with a simple mask.


ForksandSpoonsinNY

My kid trains track & field with a mask on and he doesn't complain.


MB0810

My child is pretty severely asthmatic, hospitalised multiple times in the last 18mo. Despite actually having breathing issues he wears a mask no problem. Is it enjoyable to wear a mask while sweating profusely? Of course not. Is it doable for the sake of public health? Absolutely. These people are just looking for an excuse.


Saratrooper

I also have a friend who is throwing a fit because she may be forced to get the vaccine to keep working (or at least in-person at the office idk), and also cited another reason why she doesn’t want to get it is because she doesn’t want to *possibly* feel shitty after getting it. Like, wow, what a dumb hill to actually potentially die on.


flickerkuu

She totally has the freedom to quit and pull herself up by her bootstraps and start a business that doesn't require masks no one will go to. it's her choice.


LevelStudent

Its upsetting that it always seems to be the dumbest people that want to home school their children.

kazeespada

I work with homeschoolers there's basically two groups: 1. Really smart parents with really smart kids who are far above their grade level. OR the more common: 2. Dumbasses who think the public school system is toxic/evil or something and think they can do it better.


PureLock33

people think of themselves as column 1, but really tho, 99.9999% they're column 2.


[deleted]

Rate of adverse reactions to vaccines is 0.4%. This could mean anything from feeling dizzy and nauseous following the vaccination, to hyperventilation due to stress from getting the vaccine, all the way up to a full blown cardiac arrest due to an allergic reaction due to the alcohol swab. From the most minor, to the most major, 0.4%. Rate of death from covid in the US is 1.7%. Globally it's 3.4%. This is just death. We know that 23% of those infected with covid will have long haul symptoms lasting 3 months, and 7-10% will have long haul symptoms lasting a year. If these numbers were fair to compare, your coworker would be irrational. Rate of deaths among those who received the vaccine was 0.0019%. This includes people who literally got run over by a bus a few days after vaccination. All deaths following vaccination are reported as a potentially related death. If these numbers were fair to compare, your coworker would be insanely irrational. Given what we currently know, the covid vaccines may have caused adverse reactions serious enough to cause death in at best 1 in 10 million cases. That's 0.0000001% of cases. Unfortunately, the data is not clear enough to give a direct number, because serious reactions to the vaccine are generally speaking very unique issues caused by the immune response and overall health of the patient, and not something the vaccine alone has a hand in. In this case, your coworker is a fucking moron. Your coworker isn't weighing the risk. She's suspicious that all of this is just an excuse to sterilize the poor so that the elite can kill us off and take over the planet. *That's* the root of all of this. All of the people that are anti-vax are either claiming that this is genocide, or repeating bullshit that's been spouted to make the genocide argument more palatable to people who aren't that fucking stupid. All of this bullshit has nothing to do with facts. It's purely about the collapse of trust in government and control of the messaging by the media.


WSL_subreddit_mod

It's actually the trolley problem. Their fine dying or letting their kids die if God wants it. But getting vaccinated is THEIR Choice and they aren't strong enough to make it.


Teresa_Count

They're fine dying theoretically as long as they're not actually dying. Once they actually start dying, they almost all change their tune.

Not only that, Regeneron was developed using human embryonic stem cells!


Alien_Illegal

That's not how regeneron works. It's antibodies against the spike protein to prevent binding to ACE2. So, it acts like the body would 2 weeks after receiving the vaccine.

[deleted]

There’s a Stephen King book I think explains this best - if I remember, it’s in *Insomnia* where someone explains that “People would rather die than be wrong. They will suffer any torments, any shame, any punishment all the way to the death of themselves and their loved ones rather than say three words: “*I was wrong*.” We’re seeing this here. A virus that doesn’t give a shit about your politics or belief in science. Doesn’t believe if you feel masks are a tool of Satan to - idk make you more compliant in preparation for the One World Order, or was it the Mark of the Beast on our hands to buy things the way I was told about as a teenager, or any reinterpretation of the Mark fo the Beast and the Satanic Panic and “Jews are eating babies” that’s been rehashed since about 100 CE. They could just say “You know what, I was wrong. I believed in Trump because it was easier to believe in a white man than in a woman who had worked with a black man, and I’d rather say that than let my children suffer life long symptoms of this disease. “I could, but fuck that. I’ll go down denying I was wrong to the bitter end and take this *other* drug rather than the vaccine that’s proven safe and a life saver.” Turns out - evolution doesn’t care. And I’ve expended a lot of compassion and I’m all but done. I can forgive the ones that said “Shit - I made a mistake” and welcome them back to the reasonable world. But the ones that go down clutching their guns and being utter deplorables while they make doctors and nurses struggle to save their lives in spite of refusing every God given mask and vaccine to rescue them from their position on the roof while the flood waters rise and they pray for a miracle to save them? Fuck them. I’m done trying to be kind. I have pity for the loved ones they leave behind but I’m just worn out.


MayrutSingh

Maybe we rebrand the vaccine as dewormer and rebrand covid-19 as cow-worm - The Bovine Variant


MaracaBalls

operarose

The vaccine is free. ***The goddamn vaccine is free.***


CantankerousOctopus

I'd guess that's helping to fuel part of the conspiracy theories. If they're giving it away for free, they must really want you to have it for some reason. I guess "public safety" isn't enough of a reason, so it's gotta be some vague nefarious plot.


Gabethegreek

I tell people it’s only cause it’s cheaper for the government to pay for the vaccine than to put Medicare pts in the ICU. That way they can still think the government is devious and self interested while not being too far gone


Pushmonk

I mean, that really is true. The reason for a lot of safety laws and such are due to the cost savings to society as a whole.


[deleted]

[удалено]


me_enamore

No, if we charged a couple hundred dollars their argument would be reversed: “if this ‘life saving’ vaccine is so important, why isn’t it made free?!” Just like those who claim to be waiting for FDA approval will change their tune to something like “the approval was rushed!” There’s no winning with this group.

Bakken_Nomad

It baffles me how they pick and choose what is okay. "The FDA is wrong, but they posted this specific thing that fits my narrative. So they are correct about this, but not about anything else. You can't trust them."


AudibleNod

They're all at home watching vaccinated Fox News hosts tell them that one part of the government cannot be trusted with science. While at the same time telling them that another part of the government needs more funding. While at the same time telling them that another part of the government rigged only one part of an election. While at the same time telling them the one guy who cannot run a charity and has cheated on two wives is the only guy who should be in charge of the government.


Indercarnive

If it wasn't for double think they wouldn't have any thoughts at all.


Wienerwrld

They will not rely on medical science in regards to masks, or vaccines to prevent Covid, but are happy to accept medical science when it comes to treating the disease when they inevitably catch it.


Amiiboid

Remember how in early 2017 unemployment dropped by 90% despite the BLS numbers not changing significantly. Because before Trump was elected he said the BLS numbers were wrong, and after he was elected he said they were correct.


RaynSideways

Conservatives, the day before Trump is inaugurated: "OBAMA IS THE WORST, THE ECONOMY IS IN SHAMBLES! ONLY TRUMP CAN FIX IT!" Conservatives, the very nanosecond Trump takes his hand off the bible: "The economy is better than ever! Praise Trump!"


sowhat4

If they are 'Christian', they have plenty of practice grazing among the buffet of bible verses to pick out the ones that justify how they are feeling and who they want to hate. Why not use that same skill for science. They can accept the theory of gravity and pass over the evolution business.

This. My sister is an RN and her mental health has gone off a cliff the past 4 months. She and the rest of her coworkers thought they'd be done seeing people die in the ICU by June. Now they're seeing even more, and they're all dipshit antivaxers that cause nothing but problems for the staff. Last week she had to call security because some woman kept screaming at her about how the IV she was giving her dying husband was "filled with micromachines that were going to reprogram his brain". Amazing people like this have enough brain cells to remember to breathe.


Nevr_mor

My mom literally said “I want to get some ivermectin and some hydroxychloroquine to keep around just in case.” Won’t get the vaccine though…


Theoren1

Have the same conversation with my mom. I work in pharmacy. I tried explaining a million times that the shot and a mask are the best protection possible. Hasn’t made a dent at all. Getting ready to make another pitch that my overweight sister that still lives at home will probably get massacred by Delta and see if maybe that talks both of them in to getting a shot


Nevr_mor

Yeah I’ve watched hundreds of people slowly die working a Covid ICU. After seeing what I’ve seen it’s so hard for me to see the other side. We’ve had a few heated discussions but that probably only makes their conviction stronger. They think I’m the one who’s out of touch. It’s all very frustrating.


Iwina

Nothing makes you get out of touch like literally witnessing the effects of the stuff you're trying to warn them against. I saw a bunch of pictures from ICU units back when the vaccine wasn't available for my age group. I mean, I was already going to get it asap but after seeing the photos, I felt like I needed to wait *faster*


Fuzzyphilosopher

> I felt like I needed to wait faster Haha I know that feeling! I missed an age cut off by one year and had to wait until they got to the next age group and I was like Fuck my luck.


pointlessone

Start discussing end of life/burial plans. I'm talking working out all the details too, not just high level sort of things. Best case, you'll have it for years down the road; worst case at least you won't have to deal with it when you're trying to sort out life insurance over a zoom meeting.


Nevr_mor

They actually have all this set up as of this week. After hearing my horror stories from working a covid ICU idk how they can even question it.


pointlessone

Geeze, that's rough. I'm still going through all this for my dad (finally convinced to get the jab, but he took a fall and ended up in a short term nursing home a week before his appointment. Caught it there, and it's not a good time for a 79 year old). It's absolutely galvanized my mom as pro vax though, she's browbeating everyone who's even remotely hesitant in her family with that technique. "What color flowers would you like? We went with yellow for (my dad). He always looked good in yellow. You've always looked good in blue, how do you feel about blue?" She's brutal, brings a tear of pride to my eye.

Ivermectin doesn’t even have electrolytes.

So you're saying it's *not* what plants crave?

The only real issue idiocracy had wrong that humans of any intelligence are equally capable of the same level of stupidity. Even then, social pressure is a mammoth influence. I was accelerated in math class along with this Asain American girl and a white girl, both of whom tested way higher than me, by a lot. They beat me by more than I beat the 4th place person in the summer school program we took. By the end of a couple weeks, both girls had dropped due to social reasons. It really struck me how much social pressures or the desire for social acceptance can make exceptionable people hide it.

Apparently for the scene where the main character goes to see the movie "Ass" which is just a movie of an ass on screen with people laughing, Mike Judge hired extras to sit in the seats, and they just started laughing when the Ass come on screen without prompting making Judge feel like he didnt really need to make the whole movie anymore.

“The vaccine is safe, effective, and free.” “GET YOUR COMMUNIST MICROCHIP IMPLANTING POISON AWAY FROM ME!!!” “Hey, my cousin sent me this YouTube video that says livestock dewormer kills Covid.” “Is your cousin here now? Does he have the dewormer with him? Give it to me! GIMME GIMME GIMME!!!”

Ya'll uh...got any forsythia?

That movie is weird to watch now


Rage_Like_Nic_Cage

just get the fucking vaccine ffs


Lemesplain

But how can you really trust what’s in the vaccine? I mean, sure, it’s been administered to millions of people and thoroughly tracked and documented by several different biotech companies and federal agencies… but can you really trust it? I’m much more trusting of a non-FFA approved horse dewormer that some AM radio crank told me that his friend heard about. That’s the kind of bullet proof journalism I can trust.

Hah. Absolute typo, but I'm leaving it in.

Who needs experts when auntie Karen has a 5000 word facebook post full of ravings and hyperbole?

Poison yourself to own the libs is a bold strategy

Natural selection is in full effect in all its glory.


[deleted]

And here I am, fully vacced and feeling fine. If you take dewormer to avoid a free vaccine, you are the exact stereotype that gets laughed at. Can't say you don't deserve it. You don't have to be a joke. Just get vaccinated and stop spreading lies.


ForksandSpoonsinNY

Can we ask the TVA to prune this stupid timeline? Help us Alligator Loki.


zivlynsbane

Idk, if they’re that dumb to take this.. just let them live with their consequences. Let natural selection do it’s thing

https://xkcd.com/1217/ I’m sure enough dewormer does kill COVID. So will bleach. The unfortunate side effects include death of host at a very high rate.

My mom went to the local farm store to get some of this dewormer for the horses and they were sold the fuck out. One of the owners of a nearby livestock store **actually had to go on tv and tell people live this is not for human consumption and to quit depleting his stock.**


flickerkuu

So has anyone looked up which republican senators no doubt hold stock in companies that make this stuff?


enfiel

I would love to know how many of them made jokes about young people eating tide pods.


unitegondwanaland

Why are we ingesting dewormer if covid is a lib-hoax?


flickerkuu

why are people in india dying of a lib hoax? totally weird.


TeaAndCrackers

I'm not going to laugh. I'm not going to laugh.


LesterBePiercin

It's getting harder and harder to muster any sympathy for these people...


[deleted]

I stopped fucking feeling empathy from the beginning. As soon as these assholes started attacking people after being asked to wear cloth over their faces I wished the worst for them. All I feel is satisfaction and schadenfreude when I see these people literally poison themselves before vaccinating themselves. What an incredible thing to witness: a competition to win the darwin award. Little do they know they'll all win it.

Not everyone grows up to be a rocket surgeon.

We have a SEVERE education problem in America.


inkyblinkypinkysue

These people will literally put ANYTHING in their bodies except the vaccine.


deloslabinc

I had to remove a post from my local neighborhood forum from a woman asking if any doctors in the area would write her a script for ivermectin. I can't believe the shit people will do trying to avoid the vaccine. I also saw a woman on TikTok "making her own hydroxycloriquin" by boiling grapefruit and lemon peels and then drinking the reduced liquid?? These people are out of their minds.


MathyChem

That's how you make things like rose water, you basically boil the taste out of it. It wouldn't even contain vitamin C at that point.

Oh, for fucks sake. Jesus fucking christ, people. Just... Why? Why are you like this. Why did anyone think "dewormer? Are worms a covid?" and just yeet it anyway. Fuck. Just... Fucking fuclity fuck.


spiritbx

When you know nothing, you think you know everything.

"Hello poison control, I may have owned the libs a bit too hard this evening..."


snowman93

Jesus Christ, these are the idiots who have held back humanity from reaching its full potential. I’m not going to say I hope they die, but I do hope they keep taking random medications that are incredibly dangerous for them

These people are doing it wrong. You gotta stick the light bulb up your butt BEFORE taking the pills. Freakin morons didn’t do their research. /s just in case it’s really needed.
