In response to my partner and I still not going to indoor restaurants, one of our parents said that they have seen people claiming the vaccines are the cause of the various premature deaths of otherwise healthy people. I was trying to explain that we still have concerns over long covid and the possible part it played in our auto-immune disorders ramping up. I used an example of one of our family friends dying abruptly of heart failure without any sort of sign or warning, that was met with “well I’m seeing a lot of people might think it’s actually the vaccines…. I’m done… I really am. I can’t do this shit anymore, I’m so fucking tired of defending my decisions against people who can’t fathom a life without their very specific treats and vibes. Reataurants fucking suck anyway, anything in public is probably a dogshit experience, I can’t wait to move to the woods away from all these fucks.

When I first met my blue collar coworker, a guy who was going to be training me all day, he ordered me to take off my mask for a moment so he could see my face (I held my breath), then said that the covid vaccine had injured his relatives. The dude spent a lot of time on facebook and was (forgive the language) completely insane but very good at his job.

It’s wonderful to see rightwing people blaming the vaccine for premature deaths. Nobody even coughed when the pandemic began, but as soon as the vaccines were introduced, everyone died.

My partners is legitimately dealing with an autoimmune disorder that her doctors say could probably be attributed to Covid. The timeline alone lines up with our first time getting Covid, which was 2+ years after our first vaccines.

If we survive the bird flu I will be eager to get polio to prove my patriotism towards capitalism. A US president had it, so it can’t be bad.

Bad news: it’s already happening. Canada just had its first measles death in 35 years (and of course it was in an unvaccinated child).

I don’t eat indoors in restaurants, if people invite me and I don’t feel comfortable declining I show up and wear a mask to the party or whatever. Restaurants fucking suck and are expensive as fuck.

My partner and I are the same way. We’ve gone to nieces and nephews birthday parties with masks on because we want to be there, but aren’t catching all the shit that kids bring home.

And you absolutely don’t have to. Ridicule is so much more fun anyway. If someone is being absurd, just give their energy right back to them it’s all they deserve anyway.

It’s practically the foundation the dirtbag left is built upon, hell it’s the entire reason pigpoopballs exists.

In my experience the most fun is to one-up the crazy to see if they ever even get that you’re mocking them. The Earth is flat? No you’re an idiot it’s a cube, actually.

Try to get them to believe that the polio vaccine is what actually ended the Cold War.
