I thought the woman handing me this was going to ask for help reaching something, but she was handing this out to everyone.

    Have they been subject to medium to long term safety testing on humans?

    Yes. For over two years now. Using a population of hundreds of millions of people and a control population of people who xerox misinformation and hand it out to strangers in grocery stores.

    News flash: the vaccinated ones are doing way better.

      As an addendum, the idea that a vaccine can produce side effects years down the line is a myth. A vaccine is a one-time payload - if any side effects are going to crop up, they will inevitably be in the few weeks following vaccination as your body processes it. After that, if nothing has gone awry, you’re good.

          I often think back and wonder about the 5G = COVID people on Twitter and r/conspiracy. Where are they now? Do they even feel in the slightest bit silly? Were they even real? So very many questions.

    Funny how surgeons don’t seem to have the problems this flyer describes.
    And I better not open this person’s closet and find a single scarf.

    How anyone can still believe this shit just confounds me.

    I have a dead uncle because of these nonsense theories he refused to wear a mask, social distance etc. The inevitable happened and he passed from covid within a week. All because of anonymous people on Facebook who I will never meet, and will never suffer the consequences of their actions. Makes me so angry

      My friend died before he was able to get a vaccine dose. He was young and fit and healthy, enough so that his death was covered in a local newspaper. He’d have probably have gotten his first vaccine dose if we’d caught COVID a couple weeks later, and that might have been enough to save him. I’ll never know, and maybe he’d have still died, but I’ll always resent people who have/had the choice to be vaccinated but choose not to.

        No, they’ve got plenty of access. They just don’t want to be exposed to anything that challenges their indoctrination.

          While that may be true. The filter bubble is also a very real thing.
          Social media sites earn their money by your attention. And try to keep it as long as possible, with all the tricks in the books, and some they invented.
          So when someone belives something. They search about it. And belive they have done research. When they find what the site belive keeps them engaged.

          Want to know more? sorry, been playing to much helldivers 2. ;) https://www.ted.com/playlists/470/how_to_pop_our_filter_bubbles

          The science is not conclusive tho. Perhaps i am in a bubble… messes with the head…

          Some have medical degrees and will actively ignore anything that doesn’t fit with the Jeebus.

          Religion and capitalism will be the legacy humans leave behind and it’s a shit one

        Or rather too much access to too many non-credible sources.

        Meaning, we need to remove shit like Twitter from the net already.

    I’d be more annoyed that this person couldn’t even bother me with a more up to date conspiracy.

    very blatantly, right in front of her, wipe your hands with sanitizer and then wipe down the flyer …

    EDIT: “Oh, this isn’t for the virus, y’all just nasty.”

    I would say some unfiltered shit at any moron that handed me something like this. It would probably be exactly what they want, but I would belittle them with every fiber of my being in the hopes that something sticks and they feel bad. It would make me feel a little better, but I am also a big man child sometimes.

    I like how page 1 says not to wear masks because they are bad put page 2 implies that you must wear a mask because getting the vaccine won’t allow you to not wear masks.

      Why can’t they just go back to handing out Chick tracts? At least those were funny.

      Speaking about the website/comics itself, I don’t think ‘bait and switch’ would be a method that Jesus would want to be used to get people to convert to Christianity.

        It’s sillier than that. Jack Chick seemed to genuinely believe that most people had just never heard of Jesus and once they do, they’ll instantly convert.
