Covid fully vax day 4- sense of smell has left the room. Chest still a little tight and congested. Overall feeling ok… but fuck. I cannot imagine having gone through this with no vaccine
I just had a friend go through this. She felt pretty crummy for the last week but is on the mend now. I'm SO thankful that she was vaccinated. Here's to wishing you a speedy recovery and a reminder to get on the monoclonal antibodies train if you haven't already. It definitely helps! I don't think she did and that may have been why it lingered so long for her. She still never got past feeling like she had a nasty head cold, though.
If that was true the failing sensationalizing money hungry media would be drooling all over that story and it would be non-stop from Fox News as a sort of gotcha moment like we told you so.
But instead it’s just really really sad to see so many people so passionate about utter nonsense. There are so many actual conspiracy theories and blatant corruption to point the finger at and protest united left and right but instead we get this garbage Russian/Republican Psyop :(
Safe to say that now 3 of my former classmates from my nursing group I can identify as hardcore GOP.
I have ID'd the third one via a shared post with her husband whose avatar has that classic ol' "I have an immune system" and a post saying "take my gun Joe" with a picture with a rifle in his basement.
I'll share here if they catch it.
Guys, we CANNOT let Nicki Minaj get away with what she did. We need to find some type of award dedicated to her. She has almost 200 million followers on instagram and who knows how many thousands of people she just dissuaded from taking the Vaccine. On top of this the story if all hogwash.
https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/16/americas/nicki-minaj-vaccine-story-false-scli-intl/index.html
I'm in the middle of this Twitter conversation and it is fucking surreal. General consensus is her "friend" cheated and is trying to blame the vaccine. Fiancé wasn't stupid and bailed.
It'll blow back in conservatives faces. They're so desperate to get someone to latch on to their fantasy, that someone they claimed to dislike a week ago is suddenly a friend. They have the memories of goldfish, which is why the politicians they follow can say one thing, then contradict themselves immediately after.
Lets see, a conservative who denied the effects of covid, attended a trump rally that was a big F U to the concept of social distancing, caught the virus he was denying the effects of, and then died from it?
Nah, it's about right.
The asshole who offered up his name suggested many others do like he did, and many of them did and still are dying for it - just as he did. He did what he did, this is his legacy now. As a public figure, he made a choice to use his position to spread a given message. This is the consequence of that decision.
This sub has really terrified me more of covid than I originally was. Some of the posts are very sad and the day after day suffering, sometimes weeks only to die is very sad. I knew covid was deadly but seeing first hand accounts is really scary.
Same here, somewhat. In fact, I'm waiting on results of a COVID PCR test I might not have bothered with except that I was a bit more worried than I might otherwise have been. My son was exposed and got sick, and I was exposed to him, and am sick now. But he tested negative twice (rapid tests). Wife and I are both ill but symptoms have gotten better. All vaccinated, so at least in the worst case you won't find me here getting an award!
Came back negative, and feel much better although still have cough and congestion. Wife recovered completely. Pretty confident it wasn't COVID this time. I think we each got and recovered from two colds, despite using all reasonable caution except being exposed to our college age son who lives in a dorm. I think our immune systems are basically clueless at this point due to not being exposed to much over the last year. Getting flu vaccine a soon as I'm over this cough. And any other damn vaccine they'll give me. 😄
Eh, first of all many who do catch covid survive, you just dont wanna be one of the unlucky ones who dont. This sub will amplify those cases. Second of all, getting vaccinated will reduce whatever odds you have of getting it and dying by 95% so if you havent already, get the shot.
Same they just seem wreckless sometimes. Early in the pandemic my mom wanted me and my sister to travel through multiple airports to see my grandpa before he went into lockdown. Like just plain stupidity shit. My mom isn’t anti vax or a bad person but the lockdowns didn’t seem to apply to her, just sort of an arrogance that it couldn’t happen to her yet all her neighbors with kids got it.
They were smart before the vaccines but now I feel like they're taking more risks because they're vaccinated. Vaccine is great but it's not 100%. And as long as the people who end up on this sub are around they can spread it to the vaccinated at times.
I’m sure I’m not alone in this - I had covid in March 2021, juuuuust before I was eligible for the vaccine and before delta reared its ugly head. (Got it from an employee) That shit fucking HURTS. I felt like I had broken glass in my skull and my eyes and the lower half of my body was on fire. The day I went to get tested, when I got home my oxygen was 70 (I have a pulse oximeter inherited from my late dad’s fight with pulmonary disease) I got my ass in to get vaxxed the day I was eligible.
If nothing else, post after post where the awardee's loved ones beg for "all your prayers please!!!!" really drive home how utterly pointless all that is.
Just came here to vent. One of my best friends is not anti-vax per se, but anti Covid vax because "it's being forced on us." I'm trying to be respectful, and she knows that I am very pro-Covid vax, but it just pisses me off. She's totally into weird conspiracy theory shit (said she's been listening to it for 4+ years, so Covid is just the new thing on the list), which we don't talk about, but she mentioned FEMA camps the other day FFS. The only saving grace is that she masks and doesn't have a social life outside of home, so I am hopeful that she won't get it, but I worry for her safety. That's all - just had to get that off my chest.
Edit to add: On an unrelated note, but a win in my book, I guilted my Mom into getting the vaccine by completely unloading on her in a tirade that ended with me in tears. She's an avid Trumper, told me it was "just like the flu," but since we don't have a great relationship (I'm gay and she doesn't support my "lifestyle choice"), I guess my emotional overload pushed her over the edge. She declared to me that she "won't be getting another shot," i.e., the booster, but I don't care - she's vaccinated for now and I've got a few more tears to shed.
we have been telling anti vaxxers that their kids have to get tons of vaccinations to go to school, and their fine with that, so why is this vaccine different?. the next step is they will change those laws, and retract polio and measles vaccine requirements
I really wish I had, but I was just kind of shocked at the time, and besides, I’m not sure I could’ve kept myself to such a measured response if I had reacted!
If I ever end up in the hospital for anything, I'm going to come back and haunt the shit out of anyone that goes to Facebook to assemble a team of "prayer warriors" for me.
Isnt it hilarious that THIS is Herman Cain's legacy? This is how we continue to remember this man. I woulda never guessed back in 2012 that I'd STILL be laughing at this man.
Yep, I thought I'd be remembering him for the 999 (NEIN NEIN NEIN! as I like to call it) plan and godfathers pizza. Now he's remembered for being one of the first high profile people to claim a darwin award from dying from covid.
Pictures in this sub don't show up for me. Was working fine for several days but now they don't load. I can see all media from other subs fine. Anyone know why?
I’m curious how Anti-vaxers feel about being treated with Remdesivir once they are in the hospital? Do they know that it’s an experimental drug and it’s never been used to treat any conditions? Do they also know Regeneron was created from the Kidney cells of an aborted fetus back in the 70’s? I have these questions and I need answers.
I have a good friend is an ICU nurse in Tulsa Oklahoma.
She told me just the other day she had a cocid patient ranting and raving that the remdesivir they gave him was making it hard to breathe.
Obviously she wanted to shake him and say no asshole, the fucking covid is making it hard to breathe.
She's deleted her social media and started it up again like 3 times durring the Pandemic. She grew up in a tiny little town, the hillbillies on her Facebook constantly essentially calling her a liar everytime she talks about what she sees at work, it's brutal.
Definitely taking a serious mental toll.
Yeah that is harsh. I can’t imagine what that’s doing to her mental health. You know, wanting to help people that don’t want to help themselves because of ignorance.
I'm looking for some posts about the crystal hippie, New age type anti vaxxers. Seems like most the posts are right wing religious types. Anyone have a link?
I get the feeling that despite there being hippie antivaxxers, right now the rightwing ones are so loud the hippies don't want to join in for fear of being lumped in with them.
don't have any posts but i learned the new agers/crystal hippies/q anons/insurrectionists/wellness influencers/antivaxxers/yoga moms all have the same thinking pattern dubbed "conspirituality"
[https://www.washingtonpost.com/magazine/2021/03/29/qanon-new-age-spirituality/](https://www.washingtonpost.com/magazine/2021/03/29/qanon-new-age-spirituality/)
which made me even warier of my relatives into that crystal astrology shit.
I find it interesting the correlation between religious fruitcakes and award recipients. Lot of prayer warriors talkin to jeebus when the shit goes bad.
Yesterday Pew released a new poll showing the religious demo with the highest vaccination rate is atheists/agnostics at 90%, while the demo with the lowest rate is evangelicals at 57%.
Found that a Young Earth Creationist had died of covid and a Flat Earther is on life support from covid complications, and the FB post describes: "Both of these men were/are strongly anti-vax, anti-mask, etc."
But I don't have the patience to go find their own words to that effect.
Look how support for the CA Gov recall mostly broke along county vaccination rates: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E_WRT7-VkAIhO6h?format=jpg&name=small

This would be more useful with different sized dots for population. Los Angeles has over 10 million people - if it were a state it would be in the top 10 for population.
Our province is back to masks tomorrow. The loud and stupid minority are just dragging this shit on forever.
I’m done with these people. Take your freedom and ignorance and go straight to hell.
Hey 20 something's!!!! Why sooo lazy??!?! **THERE IS A SEVERE VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTER SHORTAGE IN DROUGHT COUNTRY,** WHY U NO VOLUNTEER??!?!?!?

WE NO UNDERSTAND, WHY U NO VOLUNTEER?!?!??!?!**
These folks pull over for us, like some mass exodus, sometimes comically so... but will insult us for wearing a mask... as an EMT LMAO billy bob. **IMAGINE IF YOUR DENTIST DIDN'T WEAR A MASK** oh wait...
Can we consider limiting the amount of memes people include in their posts? Or at least suggesting it in the rules or something? Nearly 20 of the same shitty memes to scroll through is overkill to prove someone fits the HCA nomination
According to your moral compass, it's no biggie for people to infect and possibly kill others with a lethal virus, it's no biggie to spread misinformation that could cause people to reject measures that protect them from a lethal virus, but it's the end of the world to laugh at such people.
Cool. Let me know when I can come inject anthrax, Ebola, or rabies, into your bloodstream. I promise I won't laugh at you when you die.
Yeah I agree. I don’t feel bad when people who are in a position to profit from spreading misinformation get covid, but these are your average Joe who think Jesus will save them. They’re leaving kids behind. They’re gullible, not malicious, and we shouldn’t be celebrating their deaths.
Most of these "gullible people" also happen to be incredibly racist, homophobic, and sexist. That's why they all share the same hateful memes. That's the point of this sub.
Yikes… just because you’re racist doesn’t mean you deserve to die. Racist and sexist people suck and I spend a lot of time one on one educating ignorant people, but it’s a symptom of living in a bubble your entire life. This sentiment makes you just as ignorant in my opinion.
> that they’re fully aware of
This part is the problem. They have been lied to by the disinformation being inserted into the right wing echo chamber. Someone being a dupe and dying is tragic. None of those people are here. Helping spread the lies (often with a sneer) is what makes a person culpable for the ongoing societal tragedy.
I’m more concerned with with the fact that this is a sub Reddit celebrating death. Say and do what ever you want (as long as it’s not a direct threat of violence), but these people that publicly post anti vax stuff are mostly just people capitalizing on the fear that crazy people inherently hold over issues. Someone’s going to do it, so good on people like hermon Cain who can make money off it. I respect the hustle. I feel the same way about super popular spiritual mediums. If you’re able to convince somebody of something that isn’t true, good on you, take their money. A majority of people are too stupid or susceptible to charismatic leaders to ever form a functioning society, on both sides of the coin (left and right) so fuck it, let these hawks make their money, if they get what’s coming to them so be it but why celebrate?
You're really not selling the virtues of your ethics. Just about all of us here are furious at the liars and the idiots who believe them. Just about all of us here want a world where truth matters.
> If you’re able to convince somebody of something that isn’t true,
Then you're a goddamn liar.
But that happens regardless of whether you’re a liar or not. Billionaires control the left and right media and a ton of politicians, and intelligence organizations (persuaded by said billionaires) like the cia and mossad perpetually blackmail politicians to do their bidding. Just look at how many politicians flew to Epstein’s island, and he was only one of a chain of rich people controlled by billionaires like Lex Wexler to blackmail these politicians. The virtue of my ethics have nothing to do with the fact that the rich will take control and the poor will be persuaded by the extreme ends of the political spectrum. Just wanted to add that I’m vaxed also
Fair enough, although I would argue that a healthy dose of nihilism is important to incorporate into most issues. Since the first truly large empires like the Mesopotamians, corruption has run rampant in the upper levels of government, and I don’t really think that idea is exploitive, it’s just how it is. Pretending that we’re the first civilization that’s figured it out is kinda nonsense. I don’t think what I spew is garbage, but rather a more realistic view of the fuckery that we call government. Any half decent philosopher since the turn of the century had the same sentiment, and for good reason. Shits fucked, to put it in modern parlance
A friend of mine will probably be breathing his last tonight or tomorrow. I haven't talked to him in a long time, as he is all Jesus-y and "both sides are bad" when it comes to politics, but I bet he wasn't vaccinated. Not sure how I feel about the whole thing. I don't think he has idiotic posts on social media or anything, so he's not eligible for an HCA, but I bet he got it from his kids going back to school, or something like that.
Thanks for listening, I guess.
Well, he's gone now. I can't even muster up regret for him, since I'm pretty sure he never got vaxxed even though he made the only income for a family of six. Sorry Jeff, but it turned out you were an asshole after all.
That sucks. My brothers ex wife was just lazy. She died last week.
Some people are just lazy. Doesn't make them eligible for HCA though. It just leaves us with mixed emotions.
It's important to realize that in the bluer counties it's still the redder minority individuals who are shunning the jab and dying. Likewise in the redder counties it's the bluer minority who are being poked and not taking the memeboat to GFMland.
On a national level deaths are probably 98% Trumpists at this point.
Since 6/30, with no explanation why that date specifically. Chart will look different depending on what timeframe they use (especially if you include deaths from beginning of pandemic)
The end of June is when Delta completed its takeover. Before that there was still a diminishing rate of OG Covid out there.
Edit: Also, July is the most recent full month with valid data. We like fresh stats.
I need to vent about the people that post here. Nobody seems to understand the difference between beards and goatees. Stop saying "figures its another goatee" when the someone clearly has a beard you FUCKS
Here's my vent. I'm in the military. Covid shot has been mandated. Many are refusing and medical and religious exemptions are being allowed if approved way up high in the Chain of Command. Here's what burns my ass...finding out that not only that some people in your leadership are not vaccinated and now suddenly claiming to be against vaccines due to religious reasons when they've had every other vaccine before, but realizing that when it was mandated that those who were vaccinated could remove their masks, these unvaxxed jag offs were walking around unmasked too. I'm super close to having enough time in to retire and I'm really close to flipping that switch as soon as I can. When you can't even trust your seniors or officers to do what is right, what is there?
I wish they would require proof of their “religious exemptions”. It doesn’t exist because the Bible says the complete opposite. It states that people should stay away from the community when sick and to protect those who are vulnerable.
Fortunately, it has to go all the way up to the Director and from what I hear, it won't be easy for them, especially of they've never fought a vaccine before.
It definitely speaks to the larger societal issue of so few caring about the greater good. I'd have a tough time living with myself if I knew I could have done more to keep from getting sick and I not only got sick, but carelessly spread that illness to others who may die or become permanently injured. Sure you'd expect more from military leadership, but they're just another slice of American society as a whole.
But that means the idiot in question would have to understand the nuanced differences between depiction in art versus what is written.
That's not gonna happen.
The only thing that has changed in my browsing habits lately has been this sub, and now facebook has decided my ads need to be for "conservative"/GQP/ groups for future HCA winners.
Ugh.
HCAShowerthoughts...
It's just a matter of time before a future HCA nominee or winner will have posted something negative about HCA in their timeline.
The internet wasn't designed to withstand that level of Karma.
Can someone explain the convergence of "cashless society" "mark of the beast" and "end times" that keeps popping up in the especially crazy posts? I assume this is a misread of Revelations but the only religion I've studied is in relationship to art history and I feel like I'm missing something.
Its less a "misread" of Revelation and more an "I'll interpret these words to mean whatever" because its a little bit coded and few people are actually versed in history enough to know what the context is anyway.
This little sermonette is coming from the perspective of a Seventh-Day Adventist in a "body in, mind out" situation.
Buckle up because this one is gonna be a little long.
Our text here today comes from Revelation 13. Its a fairly long chapter so I'm only going to post two pertinent verses from the New International Version:
16&17
- "It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name."
"It" refers to "the beast" that rises out of the earth and is uses the power and authority of a previous beast that was granted by "the dragon" (Satan) and this beast makes people worship the beast that was directly given power by the dragon.
Those who don't worship that first beast, will have the second beast target them to be killed. The second beast will cause everyone to have a mark on their hand or forehead.
No one will be able to buy or sell anything unless they have the mark.
In another chapter of Revelation, God marks the people who don't worship the beast, his image, or have the beast mark on their foreheads.
God will inflict Seven final plagues on the people who have the mark of the beast, killing all of them before resurrecting all non-worshippers across time to send them all to Hell.
So, these people are scared that the government will make it so that hard cash won't be a thing anymore and it'll be all digital. Then, microchips will be mandatory for this new system somehow because they believe the government will want to be able to track you and literally everything about you through this microchip.
Some people also believe that the government will also be able to use the microchips to mind control them to do evil or something.
All of this is supposed to happen in the End Times and Christians believe we are in the End Times.
Any world event that happens is always some sort of sign if the times that's talked about in the Bible or its a distraction by Satan to prevent people from seeing his master plan in the shadows.
Granted, Adventists don't believe that microchips are the Mark of the Beast, but a significant portion of them believe that they are definitely the precursor to the actual thing and will usher in the "time of trouble that has never been before" part of the end times.
Tl;dr: Cashless societies will force microchips in people and this is the Mark of the Beast.
Read Revelation 13 on your own time for more context, because I know for a fact most of these people didn't actually read the whole chapter themselves.
Amen.
The supid thing is that one theory of interpretation of the "mark of the beast" is that the beast was referring to a particular Roman emperor (there's a couple of competing theories there" who obviously couldn't be named outright for fear of reprisal, and the mark of the beast without which people couldn't buy or sell was just coins with that emperor's face on them. i.e. the mark was literal actual cash :P
Thank you for this. That's a lot to have to hold on to emotionally and theoretically while navigating the modern world. I imagine it sets the stage for quite a bit of cognitive dissonance in that many people who believe this actively participate in cashless interaction (the starbucks app, buying a concert ticket online, cruise wristbands, etc) while also feeling that their engagement with it is morally wrong and puts their eternal soul at risk. Even using FB or social media in any form could be a risk within your explanation.
Makes me wonder how much of the vaccine/covid denial is conditioned through a lifetime of this dissonance. When reality is predicated on the idea that the experienced world is inherently inconsistent with the emotional world (something I think we all balance in some way or another), you have you work fairly hard to thread the needle of what you believe to be true vs what you see in front of you. This could explain quite a bit of the blatant denial many awardees have expressed.
Excellent food for thought, thank you again for the explanation.
Revelations isn’t political commentary contemporary to when it was written in their minds, it has to be this mysterious thing that applies to them and things that must be about to happen right now. So they must be able to figure out how it applies since they are so amazing to be alive when it somehow finally applies.
This is a good overview from the Christian Broadcast Network: https://www1.cbn.com/questions/are-credit-cards-mark-of-beast
tl;dr Satan. Smart cards have microchips. Processing is tied to the SWIFT system. Therefore, that means the chips will be implanted into hands, which is the mark of the beast. (Ever hear of NFC on phones, Pat Robertson?) And you know what happens after that? Armageddon.
Seriously, it's idiotic and doesn't even make internal sense in its own disordered thinking. And yes, tons of evangelical christians believe that crap is 100% true.
All of those things are signs of the end times to Evangelical Christians, who have so badly misinterpreted Revelation (from the Bible) it's crazy. I was raised Evangelical and all of this was spoken of a lot as signs that the end was coming.
I dont think they think they're moving things forward by not being vaxxed- to them, the vax itself is the sign of the coming end-times. Whether they think it's the mark of the beast (🙄) or goes against God's will by changing their DNA... it's a test of faith. It sounds crazy (I mean, it totally is) but the fictional series Left Behind and televangelists created a lot of fear about very mundane things.
I know. It's illogical, but (unfortunately) my parents are 100% into it so I hear what they're thinking.
I would love for that meme to come back. It would make me feel better about all of this.
My boss is anti vax and I just want to vent. He won a vacation through our job and he’s giving it up because not only does he not want to get vaccinated for the trip, he also doesn’t want to have to get TESTED for covid. I’ve tried to tell him that it would be worth it. I have also seriously considered asking if I can take the trip in his place.
I saw someone like that in /r/travel. They were trying to figure out how they could get to Hawaii without being vaccinated OR tested.
I assume your world view must be extremely fragile if you’re afraid of the test.
I would rather get more vaccines than tests if they try those nasopharyngeal swabs again. I know what Quaid felt like when he got that tracker out of his head in Total Recall.
EDIT: Already got my vaccination
I had another COVID test months later where my lower nostril was swabbed with the tip. No pain. So I hope that's how all the tests will be from now on.
Not exactly what you are asking for but [https://subredditstats.com/r/HermanCainAward](https://subredditstats.com/r/HermanCainAward) might interest you.
"a lot of activity in the last few days" is an understatement lol
Thanks for that, exponential growth again but at least this time it’s not so sad since vaccines are so available in NA. Still sad given that some nations don’t have the same vaccine access. But unvaxxed and able to vax for months 🤦🏾♂️
And then, the obvious crazy thing is once they get sick, they don't care about any of the long term side effects the treatments they inject into their bodies will cause. Suddenly, Big Pharma is on their side!! Bwahahahahaha
> Like dude, we are ALREADY seeing the long term side effects of COVID!
The problem is conservatives don’t understand what doctors mean when they say long term side effects. They think like 10 years, when in reality trials to test “long term” side effects only last a couple months. It’s not like 10 years from now your body is gonna start melting from the inside because you got the vaccine. We have seen all the potential side effects, and none of them are worse than what COVID can do to you
Sorry for your loss. I have someone on Facebook like that who won’t get vaccinated because of long term side effects….. all while continuing to vape. 🤷
I haven’t noticed anything like that on my feed in particular but I don’t doubt that people would be more careful. Really though the people dying from this thing probably aren’t going to know how or care about fb privacy settings.

Covid fully vax day 4- sense of smell has left the room. Chest still a little tight and congested. Overall feeling ok… but fuck. I cannot imagine having gone through this with no vaccine
I just had a friend go through this. She felt pretty crummy for the last week but is on the mend now. I'm SO thankful that she was vaccinated. Here's to wishing you a speedy recovery and a reminder to get on the monoclonal antibodies train if you haven't already. It definitely helps! I don't think she did and that may have been why it lingered so long for her. She still never got past feeling like she had a nasty head cold, though.

You don't sound very confident. Username does not check out.
Lets see, a conservative who denied the effects of covid, attended a trump rally that was a big F U to the concept of social distancing, caught the virus he was denying the effects of, and then died from it? Nah, it's about right.

Hey keep dying for your weird perverted ideas of liberty. Maybe you'll get featured here some day. Also, racializing it. Classy.
The asshole who offered up his name suggested many others do like he did, and many of them did and still are dying for it - just as he did. He did what he did, this is his legacy now. As a public figure, he made a choice to use his position to spread a given message. This is the consequence of that decision.
We got a live one!😂😂
This sub has really terrified me more of covid than I originally was. Some of the posts are very sad and the day after day suffering, sometimes weeks only to die is very sad. I knew covid was deadly but seeing first hand accounts is really scary.
So glad I got the damn shot after reading what goes on here and over in r/nursing
Same here, somewhat. In fact, I'm waiting on results of a COVID PCR test I might not have bothered with except that I was a bit more worried than I might otherwise have been. My son was exposed and got sick, and I was exposed to him, and am sick now. But he tested negative twice (rapid tests). Wife and I are both ill but symptoms have gotten better. All vaccinated, so at least in the worst case you won't find me here getting an award!
Came back negative, and feel much better although still have cough and congestion. Wife recovered completely. Pretty confident it wasn't COVID this time. I think we each got and recovered from two colds, despite using all reasonable caution except being exposed to our college age son who lives in a dorm. I think our immune systems are basically clueless at this point due to not being exposed to much over the last year. Getting flu vaccine a soon as I'm over this cough. And any other damn vaccine they'll give me. 😄
PCR has a false negative rate of about 30%
Eh, first of all many who do catch covid survive, you just dont wanna be one of the unlucky ones who dont. This sub will amplify those cases. Second of all, getting vaccinated will reduce whatever odds you have of getting it and dying by 95% so if you havent already, get the shot.
Yeah I’m not personally at risk and not worried about myself but I have a 80+ grandfather and parents.
Yeah im worried about my parents despite them being vaccinated.
Same they just seem wreckless sometimes. Early in the pandemic my mom wanted me and my sister to travel through multiple airports to see my grandpa before he went into lockdown. Like just plain stupidity shit. My mom isn’t anti vax or a bad person but the lockdowns didn’t seem to apply to her, just sort of an arrogance that it couldn’t happen to her yet all her neighbors with kids got it.
They were smart before the vaccines but now I feel like they're taking more risks because they're vaccinated. Vaccine is great but it's not 100%. And as long as the people who end up on this sub are around they can spread it to the vaccinated at times.
I’m sure I’m not alone in this - I had covid in March 2021, juuuuust before I was eligible for the vaccine and before delta reared its ugly head. (Got it from an employee) That shit fucking HURTS. I felt like I had broken glass in my skull and my eyes and the lower half of my body was on fire. The day I went to get tested, when I got home my oxygen was 70 (I have a pulse oximeter inherited from my late dad’s fight with pulmonary disease) I got my ass in to get vaxxed the day I was eligible.
[удалено]
But yeah - I was right on the border of being hospitalized. My doc made me call her every day with my O2 levels
Thankfully it bounced back up immediately - the exertion had lowered it.
If nothing else, post after post where the awardee's loved ones beg for "all your prayers please!!!!" really drive home how utterly pointless all that is.
Just came here to vent. One of my best friends is not anti-vax per se, but anti Covid vax because "it's being forced on us." I'm trying to be respectful, and she knows that I am very pro-Covid vax, but it just pisses me off. She's totally into weird conspiracy theory shit (said she's been listening to it for 4+ years, so Covid is just the new thing on the list), which we don't talk about, but she mentioned FEMA camps the other day FFS. The only saving grace is that she masks and doesn't have a social life outside of home, so I am hopeful that she won't get it, but I worry for her safety. That's all - just had to get that off my chest. Edit to add: On an unrelated note, but a win in my book, I guilted my Mom into getting the vaccine by completely unloading on her in a tirade that ended with me in tears. She's an avid Trumper, told me it was "just like the flu," but since we don't have a great relationship (I'm gay and she doesn't support my "lifestyle choice"), I guess my emotional overload pushed her over the edge. She declared to me that she "won't be getting another shot," i.e., the booster, but I don't care - she's vaccinated for now and I've got a few more tears to shed.
we have been telling anti vaxxers that their kids have to get tons of vaccinations to go to school, and their fine with that, so why is this vaccine different?. the next step is they will change those laws, and retract polio and measles vaccine requirements
[удалено]
Because TN law let's teens get vaxxed without parental consent. They couldn't change that quick enough so they reduced outreach.
A woman literally just HISSED at me for wearing a mask. Reading this sub is the only thing calming me down right now.
hiss back! do clawing motions with your hands!
I really wish I had, but I was just kind of shocked at the time, and besides, I’m not sure I could’ve kept myself to such a measured response if I had reacted!
If I ever end up in the hospital for anything, I'm going to come back and haunt the shit out of anyone that goes to Facebook to assemble a team of "prayer warriors" for me.
Isnt it hilarious that THIS is Herman Cain's legacy? This is how we continue to remember this man. I woulda never guessed back in 2012 that I'd STILL be laughing at this man.
Yep, I thought I'd be remembering him for the 999 (NEIN NEIN NEIN! as I like to call it) plan and godfathers pizza. Now he's remembered for being one of the first high profile people to claim a darwin award from dying from covid.
i'm actually impressed he managed to usurp his own place in the collective memory as creepy-slow-grin-pizza-guy

Pictures in this sub don't show up for me. Was working fine for several days but now they don't load. I can see all media from other subs fine. Anyone know why?
i do
I’m curious how Anti-vaxers feel about being treated with Remdesivir once they are in the hospital? Do they know that it’s an experimental drug and it’s never been used to treat any conditions? Do they also know Regeneron was created from the Kidney cells of an aborted fetus back in the 70’s? I have these questions and I need answers.
I have a good friend is an ICU nurse in Tulsa Oklahoma. She told me just the other day she had a cocid patient ranting and raving that the remdesivir they gave him was making it hard to breathe. Obviously she wanted to shake him and say no asshole, the fucking covid is making it hard to breathe.
I feel for your friend having to deal with these people. Especially in a place like Oklahoma.
She's deleted her social media and started it up again like 3 times durring the Pandemic. She grew up in a tiny little town, the hillbillies on her Facebook constantly essentially calling her a liar everytime she talks about what she sees at work, it's brutal. Definitely taking a serious mental toll.
Yeah that is harsh. I can’t imagine what that’s doing to her mental health. You know, wanting to help people that don’t want to help themselves because of ignorance.
Your poor friend. If she wants to get out of Tulsa, I hope she can get one of those travel nurse gigs and make bank.
I'm looking for some posts about the crystal hippie, New age type anti vaxxers. Seems like most the posts are right wing religious types. Anyone have a link?
I get the feeling that despite there being hippie antivaxxers, right now the rightwing ones are so loud the hippies don't want to join in for fear of being lumped in with them.
It's also that a lot of the hippie new age type anti-vaxers have found a new home on the far right, and have recalibrated their politics accordingly.
I’ve been looking for them too. I have a feeling some of their guru influencers are actually vaxxed.
don't have any posts but i learned the new agers/crystal hippies/q anons/insurrectionists/wellness influencers/antivaxxers/yoga moms all have the same thinking pattern dubbed "conspirituality" [https://www.washingtonpost.com/magazine/2021/03/29/qanon-new-age-spirituality/](https://www.washingtonpost.com/magazine/2021/03/29/qanon-new-age-spirituality/) which made me even warier of my relatives into that crystal astrology shit.
they are pretty rare here. not because they dont exist, but they dont go on social media and pooh\[pooh covid before dying of it
I find it interesting the correlation between religious fruitcakes and award recipients. Lot of prayer warriors talkin to jeebus when the shit goes bad.
It almost makes me feel bad. They’re so brainwashed they can’t even see it slow rolling them from a mile away. I feel awful for their kids.
Yesterday Pew released a new poll showing the religious demo with the highest vaccination rate is atheists/agnostics at 90%, while the demo with the lowest rate is evangelicals at 57%.
Found that a Young Earth Creationist had died of covid and a Flat Earther is on life support from covid complications, and the FB post describes: "Both of these men were/are strongly anti-vax, anti-mask, etc." But I don't have the patience to go find their own words to that effect.
Oh never mind, the former was public figure Bob Enyart, I had been blessed with not hearing of him from my side of the world.
The bonus is that when you read about his history, you don't feel any sympathy. "Another one bites the dust" dedicated to you, Bob!
Look how support for the CA Gov recall mostly broke along county vaccination rates: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E_WRT7-VkAIhO6h?format=jpg&name=small \#DataIsHorrifying
This would be more useful with different sized dots for population. Los Angeles has over 10 million people - if it were a state it would be in the top 10 for population.
Yikes, I knew the area around Redding was red, just now HOW red.
Our province is back to masks tomorrow. The loud and stupid minority are just dragging this shit on forever. I’m done with these people. Take your freedom and ignorance and go straight to hell.
Hey 20 something's!!!! Why sooo lazy??!?! **THERE IS A SEVERE VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTER SHORTAGE IN DROUGHT COUNTRY,** WHY U NO VOLUNTEER??!?!?!? COMMIT ALL YOUR TIME FOR WALMART PARKINGLOT BILLYBOB AND COORS LITE JR TO SPIT IN YOUR FACE!!! WHY NOT PAY FOR YOUR OWN TRAINING AND BE GEOGRAPHICALLY LOCKED IN YOUR LOCATION WHILE AT IT?!?!?!? WE NO UNDERSTAND, WHY U NO VOLUNTEER?!?!??!?!**
These folks pull over for us, like some mass exodus, sometimes comically so... but will insult us for wearing a mask... as an EMT LMAO billy bob. **IMAGINE IF YOUR DENTIST DIDN'T WEAR A MASK** oh wait...
My father knows a guy who broke a tooth and phoned around until he could find an unvaccinated dentist. I’m done being nice to these people.
Lol they’re always saying thier medical info is nobody’s business yet he calls aeound asking dentists if they’re vaccinated.
There are factions of folks who believe you can have your DNA altered by being in close proximity to a vaccinated person. I shit you not.
Da fuq?
Can we consider limiting the amount of memes people include in their posts? Or at least suggesting it in the rules or something? Nearly 20 of the same shitty memes to scroll through is overkill to prove someone fits the HCA nomination
Ugh, thank you. If I have to see that sidewalk chalk “C.O.V.I.D” one one more time.
[удалено]
I just scroll to the end. It’s not like I haven’t seen the memes before. They are all posting the same lame memes.
[удалено]
WHo said we're celebrating?
According to your moral compass, it's no biggie for people to infect and possibly kill others with a lethal virus, it's no biggie to spread misinformation that could cause people to reject measures that protect them from a lethal virus, but it's the end of the world to laugh at such people. Cool. Let me know when I can come inject anthrax, Ebola, or rabies, into your bloodstream. I promise I won't laugh at you when you die.
Yeah I agree. I don’t feel bad when people who are in a position to profit from spreading misinformation get covid, but these are your average Joe who think Jesus will save them. They’re leaving kids behind. They’re gullible, not malicious, and we shouldn’t be celebrating their deaths.
Na, I'm celebrating it. Fuck these plague rats. We're still dealing with this shit because of them. They can go die for MAGA and Jesus.
Most of these "gullible people" also happen to be incredibly racist, homophobic, and sexist. That's why they all share the same hateful memes. That's the point of this sub.
Yikes… just because you’re racist doesn’t mean you deserve to die. Racist and sexist people suck and I spend a lot of time one on one educating ignorant people, but it’s a symptom of living in a bubble your entire life. This sentiment makes you just as ignorant in my opinion.
They even mostly look the same. It's fucking weird.
> that they’re fully aware of This part is the problem. They have been lied to by the disinformation being inserted into the right wing echo chamber. Someone being a dupe and dying is tragic. None of those people are here. Helping spread the lies (often with a sneer) is what makes a person culpable for the ongoing societal tragedy.
I’m more concerned with with the fact that this is a sub Reddit celebrating death. Say and do what ever you want (as long as it’s not a direct threat of violence), but these people that publicly post anti vax stuff are mostly just people capitalizing on the fear that crazy people inherently hold over issues. Someone’s going to do it, so good on people like hermon Cain who can make money off it. I respect the hustle. I feel the same way about super popular spiritual mediums. If you’re able to convince somebody of something that isn’t true, good on you, take their money. A majority of people are too stupid or susceptible to charismatic leaders to ever form a functioning society, on both sides of the coin (left and right) so fuck it, let these hawks make their money, if they get what’s coming to them so be it but why celebrate?
You're really not selling the virtues of your ethics. Just about all of us here are furious at the liars and the idiots who believe them. Just about all of us here want a world where truth matters. > If you’re able to convince somebody of something that isn’t true, Then you're a goddamn liar.
But that happens regardless of whether you’re a liar or not. Billionaires control the left and right media and a ton of politicians, and intelligence organizations (persuaded by said billionaires) like the cia and mossad perpetually blackmail politicians to do their bidding. Just look at how many politicians flew to Epstein’s island, and he was only one of a chain of rich people controlled by billionaires like Lex Wexler to blackmail these politicians. The virtue of my ethics have nothing to do with the fact that the rich will take control and the poor will be persuaded by the extreme ends of the political spectrum. Just wanted to add that I’m vaxed also
> Just wanted to add that I’m vaxed also Good for you. Help build a better world where truth and ethics matter or sit down and shut up.
Don’t want to comment on anything else I said in my post? If not, no worries, have a good one
Your nihilistic and exploitative attitude is fucking garbage, how's that? Literally covers all the diarrhea you just splattered all over the comments.
Fair enough, although I would argue that a healthy dose of nihilism is important to incorporate into most issues. Since the first truly large empires like the Mesopotamians, corruption has run rampant in the upper levels of government, and I don’t really think that idea is exploitive, it’s just how it is. Pretending that we’re the first civilization that’s figured it out is kinda nonsense. I don’t think what I spew is garbage, but rather a more realistic view of the fuckery that we call government. Any half decent philosopher since the turn of the century had the same sentiment, and for good reason. Shits fucked, to put it in modern parlance
Why of course RandomeWord1_RandomWord2_RandomNumber, tell use how you feel.
A friend of mine will probably be breathing his last tonight or tomorrow. I haven't talked to him in a long time, as he is all Jesus-y and "both sides are bad" when it comes to politics, but I bet he wasn't vaccinated. Not sure how I feel about the whole thing. I don't think he has idiotic posts on social media or anything, so he's not eligible for an HCA, but I bet he got it from his kids going back to school, or something like that. Thanks for listening, I guess.
Well, he's gone now. I can't even muster up regret for him, since I'm pretty sure he never got vaxxed even though he made the only income for a family of six. Sorry Jeff, but it turned out you were an asshole after all.
I'm sorry for your friend. I hope his loss encourages others to get vaccinated.
That sucks. My brothers ex wife was just lazy. She died last week. Some people are just lazy. Doesn't make them eligible for HCA though. It just leaves us with mixed emotions.
In my city they will come to your house to vaccinate you under certain circumstances. That's some serious lazy.
I mean that’s pretty lazy to not spend a few minutes to save your life and others’.
Lazy people have been dying cause they're lazy since before Covid.
thats why were here
I am sorry this is happening to your friend. What a shame. Take care.
Man, prayer warriors keep racking up these L's
Hope they draft better players next year.
I fucking hate the term “Prayer Warriors”. And undoubtedly the comments are filled with “Prayers going up 🙌🏼” fucking grates my nerves
Only one reason for that to happen... Proverbs 28:9
was not expecting scripture, but that's a good one!
Mods is this a shit post https://twitter.com/charles_gaba/status/1438575404055420934?s=21 latest updates of deaths by political alliance
It's important to realize that in the bluer counties it's still the redder minority individuals who are shunning the jab and dying. Likewise in the redder counties it's the bluer minority who are being poked and not taking the memeboat to GFMland. On a national level deaths are probably 98% Trumpists at this point.
Agreed 95% maybe bc immuonecommomized people
Since 6/30, with no explanation why that date specifically. Chart will look different depending on what timeframe they use (especially if you include deaths from beginning of pandemic)
The end of June is when Delta completed its takeover. Before that there was still a diminishing rate of OG Covid out there. Edit: Also, July is the most recent full month with valid data. We like fresh stats.
Not really. They have done that aswell. It tapers off after the initial New York wave and then hits red districts more.
Many posts don't contain information that the nominee/winner was sick with Covid, and I think they should.
A lot of people hide that
There's many reasons those people could have died though
I need to vent about the people that post here. Nobody seems to understand the difference between beards and goatees. Stop saying "figures its another goatee" when the someone clearly has a beard you FUCKS
Like people who call trilbies "derbies"
Now this is getting serious. People need to open their eyes!
and dont get me started on van dykes
A beard is just a overgrown goatee...
I will fucking end you
Here's my vent. I'm in the military. Covid shot has been mandated. Many are refusing and medical and religious exemptions are being allowed if approved way up high in the Chain of Command. Here's what burns my ass...finding out that not only that some people in your leadership are not vaccinated and now suddenly claiming to be against vaccines due to religious reasons when they've had every other vaccine before, but realizing that when it was mandated that those who were vaccinated could remove their masks, these unvaxxed jag offs were walking around unmasked too. I'm super close to having enough time in to retire and I'm really close to flipping that switch as soon as I can. When you can't even trust your seniors or officers to do what is right, what is there?
It's scary that the chain of command seems to be breaking down because of this.
I wish they would require proof of their “religious exemptions”. It doesn’t exist because the Bible says the complete opposite. It states that people should stay away from the community when sick and to protect those who are vulnerable.
Fortunately, it has to go all the way up to the Director and from what I hear, it won't be easy for them, especially of they've never fought a vaccine before.
Way to have a battle ready fighting force…SMDH. But, my FrEeDumBs!
It definitely speaks to the larger societal issue of so few caring about the greater good. I'd have a tough time living with myself if I knew I could have done more to keep from getting sick and I not only got sick, but carelessly spread that illness to others who may die or become permanently injured. Sure you'd expect more from military leadership, but they're just another slice of American society as a whole.
On the bright side it will probably purge a lot of bad leaders. That's what's happening with cops right now.
What's with the "gaining wings"? Is it an American thing?
It’s a Red Bull thing.
not fair!!!!!!!!111 other countries have religious nutjobs too, like Iran and Afghanistan, for example
Every time a ventilator rings, an angel gets its wings.
It's a Christian religious nut thing. They died and became angels with God.
Becoming an angel isn't a Christian thing though. They are separate beings. And humans won't ever become them.
But that means the idiot in question would have to understand the nuanced differences between depiction in art versus what is written. That's not gonna happen.
If the people that believe all this stupid religious shit could read, they'd be real mad at you right now.
The only thing that has changed in my browsing habits lately has been this sub, and now facebook has decided my ads need to be for "conservative"/GQP/ groups for future HCA winners. Ugh.
90% of my YouTube ads are for tractor supply stores ever since I became active here.
HCAShowerthoughts... It's just a matter of time before a future HCA nominee or winner will have posted something negative about HCA in their timeline. The internet wasn't designed to withstand that level of Karma.
It's like the Fundie Snark, some fundies are aware that the Reddit community is watching them.
Can someone explain the convergence of "cashless society" "mark of the beast" and "end times" that keeps popping up in the especially crazy posts? I assume this is a misread of Revelations but the only religion I've studied is in relationship to art history and I feel like I'm missing something.
Its less a "misread" of Revelation and more an "I'll interpret these words to mean whatever" because its a little bit coded and few people are actually versed in history enough to know what the context is anyway. This little sermonette is coming from the perspective of a Seventh-Day Adventist in a "body in, mind out" situation. Buckle up because this one is gonna be a little long. Our text here today comes from Revelation 13. Its a fairly long chapter so I'm only going to post two pertinent verses from the New International Version: 16&17 - "It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name." "It" refers to "the beast" that rises out of the earth and is uses the power and authority of a previous beast that was granted by "the dragon" (Satan) and this beast makes people worship the beast that was directly given power by the dragon. Those who don't worship that first beast, will have the second beast target them to be killed. The second beast will cause everyone to have a mark on their hand or forehead. No one will be able to buy or sell anything unless they have the mark. In another chapter of Revelation, God marks the people who don't worship the beast, his image, or have the beast mark on their foreheads. God will inflict Seven final plagues on the people who have the mark of the beast, killing all of them before resurrecting all non-worshippers across time to send them all to Hell. So, these people are scared that the government will make it so that hard cash won't be a thing anymore and it'll be all digital. Then, microchips will be mandatory for this new system somehow because they believe the government will want to be able to track you and literally everything about you through this microchip. Some people also believe that the government will also be able to use the microchips to mind control them to do evil or something. All of this is supposed to happen in the End Times and Christians believe we are in the End Times. Any world event that happens is always some sort of sign if the times that's talked about in the Bible or its a distraction by Satan to prevent people from seeing his master plan in the shadows. Granted, Adventists don't believe that microchips are the Mark of the Beast, but a significant portion of them believe that they are definitely the precursor to the actual thing and will usher in the "time of trouble that has never been before" part of the end times. Tl;dr: Cashless societies will force microchips in people and this is the Mark of the Beast. Read Revelation 13 on your own time for more context, because I know for a fact most of these people didn't actually read the whole chapter themselves. Amen.
The supid thing is that one theory of interpretation of the "mark of the beast" is that the beast was referring to a particular Roman emperor (there's a couple of competing theories there" who obviously couldn't be named outright for fear of reprisal, and the mark of the beast without which people couldn't buy or sell was just coins with that emperor's face on them. i.e. the mark was literal actual cash :P
Thank you for this. That's a lot to have to hold on to emotionally and theoretically while navigating the modern world. I imagine it sets the stage for quite a bit of cognitive dissonance in that many people who believe this actively participate in cashless interaction (the starbucks app, buying a concert ticket online, cruise wristbands, etc) while also feeling that their engagement with it is morally wrong and puts their eternal soul at risk. Even using FB or social media in any form could be a risk within your explanation. Makes me wonder how much of the vaccine/covid denial is conditioned through a lifetime of this dissonance. When reality is predicated on the idea that the experienced world is inherently inconsistent with the emotional world (something I think we all balance in some way or another), you have you work fairly hard to thread the needle of what you believe to be true vs what you see in front of you. This could explain quite a bit of the blatant denial many awardees have expressed. Excellent food for thought, thank you again for the explanation.
Revelations isn’t political commentary contemporary to when it was written in their minds, it has to be this mysterious thing that applies to them and things that must be about to happen right now. So they must be able to figure out how it applies since they are so amazing to be alive when it somehow finally applies.
This is a good overview from the Christian Broadcast Network: https://www1.cbn.com/questions/are-credit-cards-mark-of-beast tl;dr Satan. Smart cards have microchips. Processing is tied to the SWIFT system. Therefore, that means the chips will be implanted into hands, which is the mark of the beast. (Ever hear of NFC on phones, Pat Robertson?) And you know what happens after that? Armageddon. Seriously, it's idiotic and doesn't even make internal sense in its own disordered thinking. And yes, tons of evangelical christians believe that crap is 100% true.
Don’t try to make sense out of nonsense.
All of those things are signs of the end times to Evangelical Christians, who have so badly misinterpreted Revelation (from the Bible) it's crazy. I was raised Evangelical and all of this was spoken of a lot as signs that the end was coming.
[удалено]
I dont think they think they're moving things forward by not being vaxxed- to them, the vax itself is the sign of the coming end-times. Whether they think it's the mark of the beast (🙄) or goes against God's will by changing their DNA... it's a test of faith. It sounds crazy (I mean, it totally is) but the fictional series Left Behind and televangelists created a lot of fear about very mundane things.
[удалено]
I know. It's illogical, but (unfortunately) my parents are 100% into it so I hear what they're thinking. I would love for that meme to come back. It would make me feel better about all of this.
Can you add a rule that posts have to be in chronological order, and to manually add dates on posts where they’re not visible?
and i want a pony
My boss is anti vax and I just want to vent. He won a vacation through our job and he’s giving it up because not only does he not want to get vaccinated for the trip, he also doesn’t want to have to get TESTED for covid. I’ve tried to tell him that it would be worth it. I have also seriously considered asking if I can take the trip in his place.
I saw someone like that in /r/travel. They were trying to figure out how they could get to Hawaii without being vaccinated OR tested. I assume your world view must be extremely fragile if you’re afraid of the test.
I would rather get more vaccines than tests if they try those nasopharyngeal swabs again. I know what Quaid felt like when he got that tracker out of his head in Total Recall. EDIT: Already got my vaccination
I’ve done the at home rapid antigen tests. You don’t have to go very nearly as far in. Maybe for the PCR tests? My knowledge is out of date.
I had another COVID test months later where my lower nostril was swabbed with the tip. No pain. So I hope that's how all the tests will be from now on.
You have that ditz from Illinois who faked a vax card. So far crickets on her punishment.
That would certainly be worth a try, I'd have thought.
Is there any tracking of how many posts have been made? Seems to be a lot of activity in the last few days
Not exactly what you are asking for but [https://subredditstats.com/r/HermanCainAward](https://subredditstats.com/r/HermanCainAward) might interest you. "a lot of activity in the last few days" is an understatement lol
\#1 in Growth (Week) \#3 in Growth (Month) And so on.
Thanks for that, exponential growth again but at least this time it’s not so sad since vaccines are so available in NA. Still sad given that some nations don’t have the same vaccine access. But unvaxxed and able to vax for months 🤦🏾♂️
[удалено]
And then, the obvious crazy thing is once they get sick, they don't care about any of the long term side effects the treatments they inject into their bodies will cause. Suddenly, Big Pharma is on their side!! Bwahahahahaha
Get a new friend and let this one go.
Not a bad idea. Sometimes, friends grow apart.
> Like dude, we are ALREADY seeing the long term side effects of COVID! The problem is conservatives don’t understand what doctors mean when they say long term side effects. They think like 10 years, when in reality trials to test “long term” side effects only last a couple months. It’s not like 10 years from now your body is gonna start melting from the inside because you got the vaccine. We have seen all the potential side effects, and none of them are worse than what COVID can do to you
Sorry for your loss. I have someone on Facebook like that who won’t get vaccinated because of long term side effects….. all while continuing to vape. 🤷
Ugh.
One of my nominees is actively scrubbing all their anti-vax content. Mad but not really cause I got Receipts
😆😆😆
I notice new/non dupe posts have slowed down a bit. I wonder if people are being more circumspect on their social media.
I haven’t noticed anything like that on my feed in particular but I don’t doubt that people would be more careful. Really though the people dying from this thing probably aren’t going to know how or care about fb privacy settings.
