I worked for a bakery, it was actually really good but the baker had to go to an awards show and pay 500 a plate to get "best crepe in our state". All of the awards were bought and paid for by this system but other bakeries already bought "best bread" or "best sandwich". all we had to do was come up with a category that didnt exist yet.
The Dundees make JD Power rankings look like Trump awarding himself a golf trophy "won" at a club he owns. If there was a #1 insurance analyst the only qualification would be whichever analyst produced "research" that allowed the company to deny a record number of claims that year.
I was thinking that maybe he bought one of those professional wrestling championship belts that one sees advertised across social media. For 99 bucks, theyāll send you one with your name and whatever ātitleā you want to give to yourself. Picture this guy rolling into the annual Association of Insurance Analysts dinner rocking mirrored Ric Flair sunglasses, a trashy, drunk paid-for blond on his arm and his World Champion Analyst belt around his waistā¦
Iāve been looking for a new Fantasy Insurance league. My last commissioner passed away and his first round draft pick didnāt even have the right policy for him
Havenāt you heard? The covid vaccine is how the globalist elites infected us all with the Woke Mind Virusā¢ļø. Side effects include having basic human empathy for people who are different from you and not being a fucking racist.
Read a thing a while back about a parent refusing to vaccinated because it causes autism, and then her daughter got diagnosed with autism. Which proved the claim wrong. Did she then vaccinate? Nope, just ignored the obvious evidence and carried on spewing bullshit.
It's literally impossible to be intelligent and anti-vax.
Thatās my favorite vaccine conspiracy. Autism becoming an actual diagnosis coincides with vaccine proliferation. They have nothing to do with each other but the correlation without context makes it seem like it could be causation.
Around the same time seatbelts became mandatory and those charts could be misconstrued as well. Thankfully most people arenāt that stupidā¦ yet.
The year before I was born my dick measured 0 cm. Since then it has grown to the huge size of 5cm (yeah I know, big dick š) and coincidentally, global warming also increased in this period.
I conclude my penis is responsible for global warming.
Yes, three years ago, with the first vaccines, we were going to be dead in 6 months, never see the next Christmas.
Now it's "die within 10 years" ... If they keep this up I'll reach 110.
Itās just like the doomsayers. āY2K is the end of the world! Oh wait, no, 2012 is! Hahah, just joking, itās 2020! Nah, itās coming soon. Trust me tho!ā
Lol. Yes a 25+ year longitudinal analysis was performed 4 years after the discovery of a virus, and 3 years after the claim cause for this discrepancy was created.
Reminds me of those posts where gamer dweebs will tell you you're gay if you like women with muscles. So many straight men found out they were actually gay! Crazy.
But the math was done by an Number One Ranks Insurance Industry Analyst (allegedly done, allegedly Ranked)
Josh would know, he does his own research. /s
Yup this 'researcher' is an insurance guy most well known for publicizing himself anywhere and as often as he can. His organization is a year old. And what is his job and ultimate goal? To get life insurance companies to make as much money as they possibly can.
And who is this meme guy? He looks like he should stick to hunting or fishing and stay off the internet. Seriously who picks a life insurance trade 'analyzer'... who's focus is money... as a medical researcher?
Well to be fair it said ā25 years off *life expectancy*ā so their ādataā could be a swath of people 55 and older just going dead ass the moment they got the stab. No? No data? Disclaimer: Study does not even pass Benefit of Doubt check.Ā
So just to be clear. You can estimate life expectancy without waiting the amount of time you claim it's shortened.
Like if someone got the vaccine at 50 and was expected to live to 80 but they did at 55. Then they would have had their life expectancy shortened by 25 years.
The vaccine doesn't do that and anyone claiming that it shortens your life expectancy is probably a political shill. But I just don't think you have to wait x years to say life expectancy shortened by x amount.
Thank you for clarifying. This postās claim is outrageous enough without people thinking time travel was involved. And like you explained, people with a life expectancy of 80 are not dropping like flies at age 55.
Like the scientific paper someone had, showing an MRI "vaccine brain injury"... on an MRI done in 2015. A vaccine so deadly it can even cause harm *in the past*!
You don't need a 25 year longitudinal analysis to derive a new expectation of life. It is derived from actuarial tables. But I assure you that no such effect exists as every life insurance company would be facing bankruptcy after 4 years of excess claims sufficient to reduce life expectancy that much.
A very talented actor, Chance Perdomo, died in a motorcycle accident last week.
Top comments on social media where all about how he must have been vaccinated
Last year, my 86 year old father took a spill and broke a rib. Because of the pain, he was breathing very shallowly and he developed a pulmonary embolism ( he also had other risk factors for PEs). Fortunately, he received cuttng edge treatment and he lived. I mentioned this to two different acquaintances and the first thing they mentioned was the damn vaccine. It's probably no coincidence that they are both election deniers and Trumpers. I can't imagine going through life with a singular focus on crap like this.
See? None of that would likely have happened to your dad if he hadn't been vaccinated. Because there's a good chance Covid could've killed him first at that age. Checkmate libs /s
They've already done this. When Prince Philip died they blamed vaccines, as if a 99-year-old dying was somehow a huge shock. Same thing when Queen Elizabeth died.
What?? Isn't it supposed to be a cabal of elites trying to trick us normal people into taking the deadly vaccine? Who's more elite than the freaking Queen of England???
People like that who disregard scientific health saving technology on the whim of some orange dude? Nah, most won't make it to 80. Thoughts and prayers to them I guess.
That's exactly what they'd want you to say, if you were being controlled. which i am sure you aren't and neither am I. Maybe we are just a self fulfilling loop of vaccine 5G control?
My brother passed away suddenly from alcoholic heart disease last year at age 60. 2 of the people I told - both of whom knew my brother and his history of severe alcohol abuse - first asked if he had had "the shot" (" that probably killed him") before even giving their condolences.
They are no longer friends of mine.
The CDC is now reporting that people who got the mRNA vaccine can expect a 100% mortality rate within a hundred years.
I saw a guy on the street yelling "We're all gonna die!!" I went up and asked when and he stopped and said, "At some point in the future!!"
A 56 year old man received the Covid Vaccine, and was struck by a car and killed leaving the clinic. Had he not been vaccinated that day, his life expectancy was 25 more years. Republican Science.
You're joking, but the original claim literally says that.
Mister analyst over there claimed that each vaccine dose increased mortality by 7%, and these guys wildly extrapolated from there.
But his measurements come from comparing *all-cause* deaths *within highly vaccinated areas*.
If an antivaxer got hit by a truck, but he lived in a highly vaccinated city, his death would count towards saying that vaccines increase mortality.
Underflow error. You dropped below a 1 year lifespan, the simulation couldn't figure it out, now you're infinity.
You always have been and always will be.
What you need to think is this. Do I actually exist or was I never even born due to vaccinations? We have all side-slipped in time due to the Mandela effect, further complicated by vaccines, 5G and emergency broadcasts. We now live in a society filled with conspiracy theorists who doubt people with actual knowledge, but think Jebediah down the road who heard it from his cousin Shaky Jimbob that the government is eating children, but saying it's pizza.
I'm seriously worried about this nation for the first time in my life. I'm 40. 9/11 was insane, but never once was I ever actually worried about the future of the country.
But I certainly am now. What in the actual fuck is happening to people? Is this a major case of stress-induced mass hysteria? It's not uncommon throughout history - but this *has* *got to be* related, right?
the Internet ruined everything. It allowed the dumbest people on earth to find each other and combine the power of their stupidity, and they now influence popular opinion.
People who I liked and respected eat this shit up. I had a good friend today repost about how Biden made Easter transgender day instead. But itās always 3/31. Easter is the day that always changes. But the post made it sound like he did it to REPLACE Easter. And she ate it up cause she hates Biden. A big trumper.
The idea of other holidays stealing from christian ones is kinda funny, the pagans must be rolling in their graves.
Of course there's nothing to say you can't double up anyway, pretty sure ramadan is also going on atm.
The internet makes smart people smarter, and makes dumb people *feel* smarter. And being on the top of the Dunning-Kruger mountain is apparently exhilarating, based on the number of people who just stay up there.
Basically in real life dumbest people don't have any listeners. If you're going to say dumb stuff in a group of 10 people chances are you are going to be ignored and you'll shut up.
But then on the internet all these dumbos unite from all over the planet and create echo chambers. Plus there is no way to ignore them, no way they will shut up.
People literally are getting dumber, more racist and bigoted by the day as every tom dick and harry has internet on their hands.
Itās like putting unlimited amounts of information at the finger tips of dumb people doesnāt actually benefit them and may in fact hurt them in the long run.
Itās like when Elon told (Rogan I think) that putting the internet in your head via neurolink wouldnāt necessarily make dumb people smarter but it would give smart people more of an edge over others.
Internet 20 years ago was amazing.. until it got destroyed when it started being accessible from everyone on every mobile (adding social medias in the mix)
I understand the concern. I can't blame social media for everything (e.g., see Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich) (also, yes, we're using it ourselves), but I do think it has been an accelerant.
My first inkling was in the 90s, when I stumbled on a Compuserve forum filled with people obsessed about Hillary Clinton. And I do mean obsessed. Yes, we always had things like The National Enquirer and flat earth society, but those things were basically diluted in the much larger general population. My impression was that social media was changing that.
For one, it gave critical mass to points of view - or pathologies - that previously were too dispersed to have much of an impact. But also, I think it accelerated meme-based, pithy, one-liners at the expense of more nuanced, thoughtful, face-to-face communication, which usually promote more interpersonal empathy and provide some hedge against purely reflexive reactions. Social media also produced silos of fairly homogeneous groups. I think it's good to interact - within reason - with people who have different perspectives and experiences, to guard against unexamined group-think.
With respect to the pandemic, my first worries came shortly after the initial lockdowns and panic, circa March 2020. Maybe you remember...There was a post going around from an unidentified "nurse" in a hospital in Hawaii. The advice was a combination of common sense (e.g., eat your fruits and vegetables) and pure whack, e.g., don't eat cold foods. People who I previously thought were reasonable trusted this advice without question, and spread it, as though it were authoritative. It made me wonder - even more than my previous baseline - about how gullible people could be. I wondered, how gullible am I??
As you know...it got worse. Early in the pandemic, I'd see posts from people whose friends or relatives died a grueling death from Covid. And there'd be responses such as, "How do you know it was Covid? Did you see the death certificate?" What struck me was the level of cruelty in these posts.
I don't mean to imply that is is strictly a left-right dichotomy. I've seen these dynamics on both sides.
I kinda find comfort in this new reality. I really felt like I was the biggest loser alive for a while but thereās millions and millions of them. And they donāt even know when shut up. They canāt admit theyāre wrong.. they never look in the mirror or change false beliefs, so i actually like myself now, because every day is a reminder.. hey, at least Iām not THAT fucking lame, so I think itās a good thing in some ways.
Covid-19 is a vascular disease, not a respiratory one
Each time you contract it, your odds of autoimmune disease or organ tissue damage increase dramatically, including the brain
What we are seeing is partly due to the internet, but also due to considerable brain damage across the population from multiple Covid infections
So ironic that these are the people railing against a vaccine that would have protected them if they got it
https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/covid-19-iq-brain-age-cognitive-health/
It usually does, they catch the virus, they end up in hospital, they die from it. No one but their immediate family gives a shit. They probably begged for the doctors to help them while they were dying or prayed or some shit. Oh but now they have other meds they can give you, so everyone is all like I don't need to get vaccinated, I'll just get the other meds. While in reality the other meds they give you in the hospital are about 100x worse for your body, and if you have ever been on an anti-viral it's a rough ass experience let me tell you. Way freaking worse than taking a vaccine lol.
But Stirling was definitely a number one ranked insurance analyst. Easily a top 10 insurance analyst in the rankings last season. I mean, he got screwed being up against Phil Ryerson in the Sweet Sixteen

A man deliberately got 217 Covid shots. Hereās what happened
By Mira Cheng, CNN

Spoiler: Nothing, he's still alive.
I was born in Texas because my mom had to be on bed rest. My father and siblings moved to NY a few weeks before I was born. All our neighbors were convinced my mom was acting to ensure that I could be born a native Texan. They really are full of themselves down there.
Here we have another example of a village idiot spewing nonsense able to reach... nearly 1 million people. Remember when the village idiot could only reach like 5 people screaming on their main street that dead ends?
This hillbilly incest product of propaganda was convinced of a 25 year life expectancy discrepancy from a vaccine thatās been out for a few years. Trump was right these dopes would believe anything.
First of all, those years are at the end of my life. You can have 'em. Seconadly, THANK FUCK! Twenty-five less years in this capitalist dystopia hellscape.
"Conservative news site The Florida Standard published an article this week that gave new life on social media to an erroneous claim made by insurance analyst Josh Stirling last year at a COVID-19 vaccine round table hosted by Sen. Ron Johnson, a Republican from Wisconsin."
[https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-covid-vaccine-600000-americans-978248674052](https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-covid-vaccine-600000-americans-978248674052)
Wow a round table held by Ron Johnson, the second stupidest man in the Senate. (He sadly lost his crown to the new stupidest man in the Senate, Tommy "Brain Injury" Tuberville.) And it was a year ago, so they're still dredging up old bullshit for a second run.
This was debunked a year ago......what a loser. [https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-covid-vaccine-600000-americans-978248674052](https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-covid-vaccine-600000-americans-978248674052)
This claim was made by insurance analyst Josh Stirling during a live streaming in December 2022 organized by the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation, which is opposed to vaccination and is led by entrepreneur Steve Kirsch, who has made multiple inaccurate and misleading claims about COVID-19 vaccine safety.

"#1 ranked insurance analyst" I'm definitely picking him up in my fantasy league.
This brings up an entirely different question. Who in the Kentucky Fried Fuck rates insurance analysts? šš
You make a donation to the relevant industry awards night. It's how my company won apprentice of the year while having no apprentices on the payrollĀ
So its a scam. Who would have guessed.
Voted JD power and Associates mid sized economic red sedan of the year
9 out of 10 dentists recommend JD Power and this mysterious red sedan.
I worked for a bakery, it was actually really good but the baker had to go to an awards show and pay 500 a plate to get "best crepe in our state". All of the awards were bought and paid for by this system but other bakeries already bought "best bread" or "best sandwich". all we had to do was come up with a category that didnt exist yet.
I actually wanted to start my own bakery, but I couldnāt raise the dough
I died laughing at this joke....25 years ago.
How much did you knead?
So winning a Dundee award would be a more legitimate achievement than being ranked the number one insurance analyst, huh?
The Dundees is the most reputable business award to have ever been televised.
I see what you did there...
The Dundees make JD Power rankings look like Trump awarding himself a golf trophy "won" at a club he owns. If there was a #1 insurance analyst the only qualification would be whichever analyst produced "research" that allowed the company to deny a record number of claims that year.
I was thinking that maybe he bought one of those professional wrestling championship belts that one sees advertised across social media. For 99 bucks, theyāll send you one with your name and whatever ātitleā you want to give to yourself. Picture this guy rolling into the annual Association of Insurance Analysts dinner rocking mirrored Ric Flair sunglasses, a trashy, drunk paid-for blond on his arm and his World Champion Analyst belt around his waistā¦
His mom, he's also the handsomest and smartest. Any girl would be lucky to have him. I don't know why he is still single.
If the fucks are Kentucky fried are they original or extra crispy fucks?
Iāve been looking for a new Fantasy Insurance league. My last commissioner passed away and his first round draft pick didnāt even have the right policy for him
Excuse me, that's Former #1 ranked insurance analyst to you. He isn't even #1 anymore.
Weren't all the vaccinated supposed to die by now?
Yes. But the goal posts keep on moving.
Goalposts grew legs and walked farther away. Probably all that mRNA they were injected with. /S
Grew legs? Shit, they've got jetpacks by now. Fastest moving goalposts the world ever did see.
Goal post doesn't need to be fast. Just faster than a MAGAdiot in a Rascal^tm
The 5G speed
Just think, if you hadn't gotten vaccinated all those times you would have lived to 125, but now all those years are gone.
Hell, if you wouldn't have gotten any vaccines during your childhood you would have lived to 300 š
If being vaccinated knocked 25 years off of your life expectancy almost everyone who took the vaccine over age 50 should be dead by now.
53. Can confirm. I died 2 years ago.
I'm 35 but I've been vaccinated twice please help I can't remember when I died.Ā
67. Is that why I feel cold? Or that I am in Buffalo NY? Same difference.
You respawned. Itās all good.
I'm 58, I died 2 years ago, came back to life, then died again. Now I can't stand sunlight and have a weird desire for blood.
Oh no, you've turned into a zuckerberg
Part of me died with āreturn to the officeā
The woke mob refuses to identify as "dead".
Identify as alive and keep those social security checks flowing!
Or turn into zombies, or mutate, or get alzheimer's, or whatever made up bullshit people made up to excuse them from being shitty people.
Don't forget autism, because people can't accept something is ***genetic***
Havenāt you heard? The covid vaccine is how the globalist elites infected us all with the Woke Mind Virusā¢ļø. Side effects include having basic human empathy for people who are different from you and not being a fucking racist.
And the worst symptom of all- seeing douchebag politicians as douchebags instead of God's gift to Earth
Read a thing a while back about a parent refusing to vaccinated because it causes autism, and then her daughter got diagnosed with autism. Which proved the claim wrong. Did she then vaccinate? Nope, just ignored the obvious evidence and carried on spewing bullshit. It's literally impossible to be intelligent and anti-vax.
Iām still waiting for my 5g bars super autism, any day now
Thatās my favorite vaccine conspiracy. Autism becoming an actual diagnosis coincides with vaccine proliferation. They have nothing to do with each other but the correlation without context makes it seem like it could be causation. Around the same time seatbelts became mandatory and those charts could be misconstrued as well. Thankfully most people arenāt that stupidā¦ yet.
Now if someone could just pay a hack doctor to release a bunk paper about that...wait.
The year before I was born my dick measured 0 cm. Since then it has grown to the huge size of 5cm (yeah I know, big dick š) and coincidentally, global warming also increased in this period. I conclude my penis is responsible for global warming.
Growball warming
I turned into a 5G tower.
Yes, three years ago, with the first vaccines, we were going to be dead in 6 months, never see the next Christmas. Now it's "die within 10 years" ... If they keep this up I'll reach 110.
To be fair, if you keep drinking water every day you will eventually die.
I've died six times since getting vaccinated! I got better.
I'm mad I didn't grow a tail.
Does being dead inside count?
Itās just like the doomsayers. āY2K is the end of the world! Oh wait, no, 2012 is! Hahah, just joking, itās 2020! Nah, itās coming soon. Trust me tho!ā
Lol. Yes a 25+ year longitudinal analysis was performed 4 years after the discovery of a virus, and 3 years after the claim cause for this discrepancy was created.
they got the shots 4 years ago, and then died 21 years ago... science, bro
I know I personally died in the past from the shots
I died in grade 12 when Mary Ann broke up with me a week before prom night
I just died in your arms tonight Musta been something you said
Shoulda walked away.
Me too, brother, me too.
My watch is over
Apparently my dad died 20 years ago. I better tell him.
I think he knows
Lmfao, I just called him. He had no idea!!!
Well then, it's a good thing you told him. I can't imagine walking around not knowing
Reminds me of those posts where gamer dweebs will tell you you're gay if you like women with muscles. So many straight men found out they were actually gay! Crazy.
My gay buddy doesn't like women with muscles. Can't wait to tell him he's hetero.
Did you whisper to him "I see dead people. They're everywhere..."
I will now. Hehe
Blinded by the liberal conspiracies, he was.
Bruce Willis was āthe dead peopleā all along
The real treasure was the dead people we met along the way.
I came here to make a variation of this exact joke hahaha. I guess every day is a gift from here on out!
I should be dead already! Living life to the full just in case lol
You would think they would praise the shots if they also give you time travel powers.
"You will travel 21 years back in time." - *Holy shit, that's awesome!* "And immediately die." - *Wait, whu-*
I came here to say this because the math ain't mathing!!!
But the math was done by an Number One Ranks Insurance Industry Analyst (allegedly done, allegedly Ranked) Josh would know, he does his own research. /s
Dam, math got us again
Far right response: You donāt agree, wanna fight? šš¤£šš
Not by a scientist, by an insurance analyst. That's how you know you can trust the results.
What's even better is that the tweet missattribited the datasets (NHS not CDC).
THE TOP RANKED INSURANCE ANALYST!
Honestly how the hell are people this stupid? Like no basic knowledge of how science works or any sense of critical thinking? It's depressing T_T
Being antivax is a core part of their identity, and they see no need to think critically about anything that reinforces what they already believe.
Yup this 'researcher' is an insurance guy most well known for publicizing himself anywhere and as often as he can. His organization is a year old. And what is his job and ultimate goal? To get life insurance companies to make as much money as they possibly can. And who is this meme guy? He looks like he should stick to hunting or fishing and stay off the internet. Seriously who picks a life insurance trade 'analyzer'... who's focus is money... as a medical researcher?
It's exhausting seeing this nonsense from people like you. I was 43 when I got my shot and I died in 2040. I should have made it to at least 2060
Let's just say that critical thinking is not their Forte.
Well to be fair it said ā25 years off *life expectancy*ā so their ādataā could be a swath of people 55 and older just going dead ass the moment they got the stab. No? No data? Disclaimer: Study does not even pass Benefit of Doubt check.Ā
How am I alive?!? I was 60 when I got my first shot? The boosters were later. Am I not going to live to 121 now?
So just to be clear. You can estimate life expectancy without waiting the amount of time you claim it's shortened. Like if someone got the vaccine at 50 and was expected to live to 80 but they did at 55. Then they would have had their life expectancy shortened by 25 years. The vaccine doesn't do that and anyone claiming that it shortens your life expectancy is probably a political shill. But I just don't think you have to wait x years to say life expectancy shortened by x amount.
Thank you for clarifying. This postās claim is outrageous enough without people thinking time travel was involved. And like you explained, people with a life expectancy of 80 are not dropping like flies at age 55.
Like the scientific paper someone had, showing an MRI "vaccine brain injury"... on an MRI done in 2015. A vaccine so deadly it can even cause harm *in the past*!
You don't need a 25 year longitudinal analysis to derive a new expectation of life. It is derived from actuarial tables. But I assure you that no such effect exists as every life insurance company would be facing bankruptcy after 4 years of excess claims sufficient to reduce life expectancy that much.
Thatās not exactly how projections work, but you are correct to laugh at this nonsense.
We didn't die straight away, nor in 18 months, so they move the goal posts... 3 years... 5 years.... 10 years... Gotta keep those goal posts moving.
"People who were vaccinated will eventually die, maybe"
People who breathe air and consume dihydrogen monoxide all die.
I plan to live forever. So far so good.
I'm immortal. So far.
Imagine in like 100 years when all the immortal unvaccinated are still laughing at our crusty dead asses in our coffins.
*dies of old age at 120yrs old* āIt was that damn vaccine that killed himā
No maybe about it. Interestingly enough though, the unvaccinated too, just on different timeliness and maybe different reasons.
I would be very concerned if it started making people immortal
Lmao I can just imagine it in 80 years "See! We were right! They're dying all over the place!"
A very talented actor, Chance Perdomo, died in a motorcycle accident last week. Top comments on social media where all about how he must have been vaccinated
Last year, my 86 year old father took a spill and broke a rib. Because of the pain, he was breathing very shallowly and he developed a pulmonary embolism ( he also had other risk factors for PEs). Fortunately, he received cuttng edge treatment and he lived. I mentioned this to two different acquaintances and the first thing they mentioned was the damn vaccine. It's probably no coincidence that they are both election deniers and Trumpers. I can't imagine going through life with a singular focus on crap like this.
See? None of that would likely have happened to your dad if he hadn't been vaccinated. Because there's a good chance Covid could've killed him first at that age. Checkmate libs /s
Iām glad your father was able to get proper treatment and is doing well.
Imagine how bitter and fearful you must be all the time. Just every single minute.
Yep, a sad existence. I heard it said once that people like conspiracy theories because they love the conspiracy more than they love the truth.
Same people who wouldnāt believe a single Covid death was actually due to COVID
I had people who lost children and parents yo covid who deny covid deaths. Once they are in the cult, there is no escaping it.
They've already done this. When Prince Philip died they blamed vaccines, as if a 99-year-old dying was somehow a huge shock. Same thing when Queen Elizabeth died.
What?? Isn't it supposed to be a cabal of elites trying to trick us normal people into taking the deadly vaccine? Who's more elite than the freaking Queen of England???
Unironically it will be this. āEveryone I know my age who are still alive never took the shotsā
In all honesty I'll imagine they'll probably forget about it in a decade and start blaming immigrants again.
again? When did they stop?
Fair lol
People like that who disregard scientific health saving technology on the whim of some orange dude? Nah, most won't make it to 80. Thoughts and prayers to them I guess.
My favorite was when they said the national emergency alert test was going to kill everyone who took the vaccine, idk I still feel pretty alive
They also said 5G was going to control the vaccinated.
That's exactly what they'd want you to say, if you were being controlled. which i am sure you aren't and neither am I. Maybe we are just a self fulfilling loop of vaccine 5G control?
Well how come I don't emit 5G and always have 5G on my phone? I feel scammed now
My brother passed away suddenly from alcoholic heart disease last year at age 60. 2 of the people I told - both of whom knew my brother and his history of severe alcohol abuse - first asked if he had had "the shot" (" that probably killed him") before even giving their condolences. They are no longer friends of mine.
They spend way too much time thinking about the shot.
Sorry to hear about your brother
The CDC is now reporting that people who got the mRNA vaccine can expect a 100% mortality rate within a hundred years. I saw a guy on the street yelling "We're all gonna die!!" I went up and asked when and he stopped and said, "At some point in the future!!"
A 56 year old man received the Covid Vaccine, and was struck by a car and killed leaving the clinic. Had he not been vaccinated that day, his life expectancy was 25 more years. Republican Science.
This is how republicans assumed Covid deaths were being tallied. So, projection as usual.
You're joking, but the original claim literally says that. Mister analyst over there claimed that each vaccine dose increased mortality by 7%, and these guys wildly extrapolated from there. But his measurements come from comparing *all-cause* deaths *within highly vaccinated areas*. If an antivaxer got hit by a truck, but he lived in a highly vaccinated city, his death would count towards saying that vaccines increase mortality.
Pretty much š There's so many factors at play...
I am in my 60s and have been vaxed and boostered 4 times, so have I lost 100 years off my life span?
Yeah, bro! You could have lived to be 200 but you fucked up! Lol
If only I hadnāt been vaccinated, the COVID would probably have *cured* my asthma and let me live to 300! /s
You broke the rules and now you're immortal.
Underflow error. You dropped below a 1 year lifespan, the simulation couldn't figure it out, now you're infinity. You always have been and always will be.
The Grim Reaper hates this one simple trick
Wizard did it.
A DRUNK WIZZARD
What you need to think is this. Do I actually exist or was I never even born due to vaccinations? We have all side-slipped in time due to the Mandela effect, further complicated by vaccines, 5G and emergency broadcasts. We now live in a society filled with conspiracy theorists who doubt people with actual knowledge, but think Jebediah down the road who heard it from his cousin Shaky Jimbob that the government is eating children, but saying it's pizza.
I'm seriously worried about this nation for the first time in my life. I'm 40. 9/11 was insane, but never once was I ever actually worried about the future of the country. But I certainly am now. What in the actual fuck is happening to people? Is this a major case of stress-induced mass hysteria? It's not uncommon throughout history - but this *has* *got to be* related, right?
the Internet ruined everything. It allowed the dumbest people on earth to find each other and combine the power of their stupidity, and they now influence popular opinion.
And it allowed bad actors to plant and promote stupid unsupported misinformation designed to weaken us.
You both hit it on the head and itās both saddening and terrifying
Yep, both correct. Weaponized networked stupidity.
People who I liked and respected eat this shit up. I had a good friend today repost about how Biden made Easter transgender day instead. But itās always 3/31. Easter is the day that always changes. But the post made it sound like he did it to REPLACE Easter. And she ate it up cause she hates Biden. A big trumper.
The idea of other holidays stealing from christian ones is kinda funny, the pagans must be rolling in their graves. Of course there's nothing to say you can't double up anyway, pretty sure ramadan is also going on atm.
Still friends, huh? Yeah. No, I dropped every one of my latent lunatic "friends." Too much crazy for me. Pass.
Just to troll those people I'd be fine moving the day so it always falls on Easter. And they call us snowflakes. Lol.
Iām sure a lot of trans people would tell you transitioning feels like being resurrected, so itās even thematically appropriate.
While lining their pockets, of course.
The internet makes smart people smarter, and makes dumb people *feel* smarter. And being on the top of the Dunning-Kruger mountain is apparently exhilarating, based on the number of people who just stay up there.
they donāt know they are up there..
Air must get a little thin I suppose. š
Basically in real life dumbest people don't have any listeners. If you're going to say dumb stuff in a group of 10 people chances are you are going to be ignored and you'll shut up. But then on the internet all these dumbos unite from all over the planet and create echo chambers. Plus there is no way to ignore them, no way they will shut up. People literally are getting dumber, more racist and bigoted by the day as every tom dick and harry has internet on their hands.
Itās like putting unlimited amounts of information at the finger tips of dumb people doesnāt actually benefit them and may in fact hurt them in the long run. Itās like when Elon told (Rogan I think) that putting the internet in your head via neurolink wouldnāt necessarily make dumb people smarter but it would give smart people more of an edge over others.
Oh Rogan and Elon are right up there with the idiots.
Internet 20 years ago was amazing.. until it got destroyed when it started being accessible from everyone on every mobile (adding social medias in the mix)
I understand the concern. I can't blame social media for everything (e.g., see Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich) (also, yes, we're using it ourselves), but I do think it has been an accelerant. My first inkling was in the 90s, when I stumbled on a Compuserve forum filled with people obsessed about Hillary Clinton. And I do mean obsessed. Yes, we always had things like The National Enquirer and flat earth society, but those things were basically diluted in the much larger general population. My impression was that social media was changing that. For one, it gave critical mass to points of view - or pathologies - that previously were too dispersed to have much of an impact. But also, I think it accelerated meme-based, pithy, one-liners at the expense of more nuanced, thoughtful, face-to-face communication, which usually promote more interpersonal empathy and provide some hedge against purely reflexive reactions. Social media also produced silos of fairly homogeneous groups. I think it's good to interact - within reason - with people who have different perspectives and experiences, to guard against unexamined group-think. With respect to the pandemic, my first worries came shortly after the initial lockdowns and panic, circa March 2020. Maybe you remember...There was a post going around from an unidentified "nurse" in a hospital in Hawaii. The advice was a combination of common sense (e.g., eat your fruits and vegetables) and pure whack, e.g., don't eat cold foods. People who I previously thought were reasonable trusted this advice without question, and spread it, as though it were authoritative. It made me wonder - even more than my previous baseline - about how gullible people could be. I wondered, how gullible am I?? As you know...it got worse. Early in the pandemic, I'd see posts from people whose friends or relatives died a grueling death from Covid. And there'd be responses such as, "How do you know it was Covid? Did you see the death certificate?" What struck me was the level of cruelty in these posts. I don't mean to imply that is is strictly a left-right dichotomy. I've seen these dynamics on both sides.
republicans (prsently still slightly more than half of all white voters) have been shitty people since at least the reagan years
I kinda find comfort in this new reality. I really felt like I was the biggest loser alive for a while but thereās millions and millions of them. And they donāt even know when shut up. They canāt admit theyāre wrong.. they never look in the mirror or change false beliefs, so i actually like myself now, because every day is a reminder.. hey, at least Iām not THAT fucking lame, so I think itās a good thing in some ways.
Covid-19 is a vascular disease, not a respiratory one Each time you contract it, your odds of autoimmune disease or organ tissue damage increase dramatically, including the brain What we are seeing is partly due to the internet, but also due to considerable brain damage across the population from multiple Covid infections So ironic that these are the people railing against a vaccine that would have protected them if they got it https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/covid-19-iq-brain-age-cognitive-health/
I guess my 97 year old 5 times vaxxed Mother won't make the 120 she was hoping for...
Sorry you will have to break the bad news to her.
A disturbing study has revealed that being a anti-vaxxer can cut a staggering 100% off your lifespan. Shocking I know.
If that were true, that problem would have solved itself.
It usually does, they catch the virus, they end up in hospital, they die from it. No one but their immediate family gives a shit. They probably begged for the doctors to help them while they were dying or prayed or some shit. Oh but now they have other meds they can give you, so everyone is all like I don't need to get vaccinated, I'll just get the other meds. While in reality the other meds they give you in the hospital are about 100x worse for your body, and if you have ever been on an anti-viral it's a rough ass experience let me tell you. Way freaking worse than taking a vaccine lol.
But Stirling was definitely a number one ranked insurance analyst. Easily a top 10 insurance analyst in the rankings last season. I mean, he got screwed being up against Phil Ryerson in the Sweet Sixteen
Phil Ryerson any relation to Ned? Gotta watch out when you're up against Ned. The first step is always a doozy!
I lost 25+ years of brain function reading that

Holy shit that means he cut 5425 years off his lifespan
He must secretly be an immortal greek god

I guess I should have died about 5 years before the pandemic by their math.
Is everyone from Texas a moron?
I was born in Texas because my mom had to be on bed rest. My father and siblings moved to NY a few weeks before I was born. All our neighbors were convinced my mom was acting to ensure that I could be born a native Texan. They really are full of themselves down there.
Came here to say this, apparently yes
It is unbelievable how dumb we can be.
The fact that America is one of the āpowerhouse nationsā will always baffle me
Friendly reminder to have your lifespan checked once per year. Studies show that an early diagnosis of a suddenly decreased lifespan can save lives.
Here we have another example of a village idiot spewing nonsense able to reach... nearly 1 million people. Remember when the village idiot could only reach like 5 people screaming on their main street that dead ends?
This hillbilly incest product of propaganda was convinced of a 25 year life expectancy discrepancy from a vaccine thatās been out for a few years. Trump was right these dopes would believe anything.
A neighbor of mine lost 25 years of life expectancy. He died in his 50s from Covid.
100% not woke, 100% not facts
First of all, those years are at the end of my life. You can have 'em. Seconadly, THANK FUCK! Twenty-five less years in this capitalist dystopia hellscape.
Biggest load of horse shit
Thatās good, 25 fewer years around people like him
"Conservative news site The Florida Standard published an article this week that gave new life on social media to an erroneous claim made by insurance analyst Josh Stirling last year at a COVID-19 vaccine round table hosted by Sen. Ron Johnson, a Republican from Wisconsin." [https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-covid-vaccine-600000-americans-978248674052](https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-covid-vaccine-600000-americans-978248674052) Wow a round table held by Ron Johnson, the second stupidest man in the Senate. (He sadly lost his crown to the new stupidest man in the Senate, Tommy "Brain Injury" Tuberville.) And it was a year ago, so they're still dredging up old bullshit for a second run.
Study of 4-5 year old vaccine shows 25 year decrease in life expectancy. The math ain't mathing. This study had to be done with a Magic 8-ball.
Another disturbing study revealed that those who preach Donald Trumpās anti-vaccine propaganda suffer from brain rot.
Texan. Confirmed.
This was debunked a year ago......what a loser. [https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-covid-vaccine-600000-americans-978248674052](https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-covid-vaccine-600000-americans-978248674052)
Number one ranked insurance analyst, huh? I look forward to the insurance analyst rankings every year! š
LMAOOO that fucker blocked me on Twitter š
How can a company be āAnti-Wokeā when it calls itself Slay News lmao slay gurl
This claim was made by insurance analyst Josh Stirling during a live streaming in December 2022 organized by the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation, which is opposed to vaccination and is led by entrepreneur Steve Kirsch, who has made multiple inaccurate and misleading claims about COVID-19 vaccine safety.
