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.

Not only that, if you actually do have a strong immune system you could be carrying the disease (and spreading it) without showing symptoms.

So if you have a strong immune system you definitely should be masking up when something’s going around to prevent spreading to to someone else who doesn’t.

It’s this false bravery I can’t stand. Afraid of getting a shot, too vain to wear a mask, and then acting like being scared and vain makes them strong people.

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.

Yes… “antivaxxer protest” dates it pretty accurately.

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.

They’re not a thing in the UK anymore - outside of this they never really were. And I can’t see them starting up again tbh. There’s no political us vs them about it, they’re not mandatory - even for healthcare staff. What is there possibly to protest about? If you want to risk your life and the lives of everyone around you, you can go right ahead without any blowback or censure.

Given how badly we fucked up with COVID in the UK, odds are many of those people are now dead.

Posting guidelines.

All posts in this community have come from elsewhere, it is not original content, the poster in this community is not OP. The person who posts in this community isn’t necessarily endorsing whatever the post is talking about and they are not looking to argue with you about the content in the post.

You are welcome to discuss and debate any topic but arguments are not welcome here. I consider debate/discussions to be civil; people with different opinions participating in respectful conversations. It becomes an argument as soon as someone becomes aggressive, nasty, insulting or just plain unpleasant. Report argumentative comments, then ignore them.

There is currently no rule about how recent a post needs to be because the community is about the comeback part, not the topic.

Rules:

• Be civil and remember the human.

• No trolling, insults or name calling. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone.

• No bigotry of any kind, including homophobia, transphobia, sexism and racism.

• You are welcome to discuss and debate any topic but arguments are not welcome here. I consider debate/discussions to be civil; people with different opinions participating in respectful conversations. It becomes an argument as soon as someone becomes aggressive, nasty, insulting or just plain unpleasant. Report argumentative comments, then ignore them.

• Try not to get too political. A lot of these posts will involve politics, but this isn’t the place for political arguments.

• Participate in good faith - don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguements sake.

• Mark NSFW posts if they contain nudity.

• Satire is allowed but please start the post title with [satire] so other users can filter it out if they’d like.

Please report comments that break site or community rules to the mods. If you break the rules you’ll receive one warning before being banned from this community.

This community follows the rules of the lemmy.world instance and the lemmy.org code of conduct. I’ve summarised them here:

  1. Be civil, remember the human.
  2. No insulting or harassing other members. That includes name calling.
  3. Respect differences of opinion. Civil discussion/debate is fine, arguing is not. Criticise ideas, not people.
  4. Keep unrequested/unstructured critique to a minimum.
  5. Remember we have all chosen to be here voluntarily. Respect the spent time and effort people have spent creating posts in order to share something they find amusing with you.
  6. Swearing in general is fine, swearing to insult another commenter isn’t.
  7. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia or any other type of bigotry.
  8. No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies.
