my mother almost died of guillain barre as well, ironically brought on by the flu shot years ago. since GB can be genetic, I haven’t gotten a flu shot since. She saw several medical doctors before getting the mRNA (moderna) and had zero issues with it. Regardless, issues like this which prevent people from getting vaxxed — my step father finished chemo and it took a bit for him to be able to get a shot too — are the reason everyone else has to step up. which is why, as someone else said, it’s quite easy to lose complete respect for anyone who refuses the shot at this point. You aren’t “owning the libs” you piece of shit. You are killing grandmas.
haven't multiple studies shown that the risk of side effects from the vaccine come out to about 1 in 85k? you run a 1 in 15.3k risk of getting struck by lightning, but here we are...
People are horrible at risk assessment. To most people, when a risk is communicated to them, they hear, "you have a non-zero chance of something bad happening" and their mental arithmetic puts a "1" in the risk column for that thing, and compares it to the "0" they have for everything else like driving a car, getting in an airplane, eating meat, etc. Everything that carries inherent risk, but nobody has bothered to quantify it, internalize it, and consider it before they do the thing. So, it's risk +1 for COVID vaccine, but 0 (since they don't know the risk) for horse dewormer, so that seems like a good trade-off.
"Look officer, all I said is that it would kill COVID. I didn't promise it wouldn't kill anything else."
Fact check: This post contains misinformation. It was a bleach-like disinfectant, very similar to bleach, but not really bleach. The Chlorine Dioxide being sold, allegedly, is an effective water treatment to purify water for drinking. So, I say drink up and kill Covid, mothafuckers. Edit: Should I say that was joke? I should probably say that was joke, and stupid advice.
If you think the risk is 0 for walking into tractor supply and buying livestock medicine then you deserve what’s coming to you (our local TSC has a “not for human consumption” sign next to the meds now, I’ll try to remember to get a pic next time I’m in)
Speaking of TSC, I wore a mask there two weeks ago. A man came up to me just to say “why are you wearing a mask faggot?” It was at that point I decided I had no need to ship there any more.
fuck your feelings (but please don’t hurt mine) maybe the workers at our local one are an anomaly, but those fuckers are hardcore about keeping it clean and customers distancing. I’ve seen them confront people for not wearing masks when those were required, reminding them to distance, sanitize hands still etc. Not quite militant, but close to it. TSC was one of the few places I went, for that reason, this time last year
Maybe he was expecting a blowjob but was genuinely confused about how said blowjob would happen while you were wearing a mask?
See, right here is where he should have been punched in the mouth. I think if that happened more, people would think twice about running their mouths.
