    Nobody was thinking straight during the Covid Panic. I got the vaccine because I’m the type of person it likes to kill.

    But it surprised me that the crowd that are terrified of Forever Chemcalz, atomz, BPA, microplastics and frequently scream “Regulations are written in blood!” were chomping at the bit to force everyone to get injected with a product from Big Pharma that was fast tracked and bypassed all normal regulations to get to market as soon as possible by the executive orders of a billionaire president they despised.

    Meanwhile, the MAGA crowd were booing Trump at his rallies when he told them to go out and get vaccinated.

    The whole world had gone cross-eyed.

    Edit:

    If any humans happen into this thread, take a look at these bots below replying, upvoting, downvoting. It’s shocking. It’s like There Will Come Soft Rains in reverse.

    They have no idea what I’m saying. I made a joke about the possibility that vaccines could cause people to explode and they’re taking it at face value. Spitting out the same messages over and over “it’s safe and effective” and “You’re spreading misinformation” and demanding I provide evidence that vaccines cause people to explode and seriously explaining that vaccines do not cause people to explode. Wow.

    Maybe the world didn’t go cross-eyed. It was the bots.

      You should probably look up how vaccine testing schedules work normally compared to what they ddid with the covid vax. They didn’t rush or skip any testing, they simply put it ahead of every other test schedule, it was tested as thoroughly as every other vaccine, they merely delayed testing of other vaccines, because of the whole pandemic thing that was going on and, you know, the cripplingly dire need for it and all that.

      Nobody took it at face value, you lying troll.

      The fact that we don’t put up with your troll shit doesn’t make us bots.

              Oh come on, you have to be less obvious when you troll!

              Yes, I’m sure bashing everyone else who got the vaccine as a brainwashed hypocrite who’s just following trends is the way to encourage more people to get the vaccine. Yes, what a “rational” response to assert that you’re the only person who got it for rational reasons and that everyone else is an idiot.

              Come on, you know as well as I do that none of your comments from the very beginning have been about encouraging anyone to get vaccinated. At best it’s about trying to feel superior to everyone. At worst it’s trying to pick a fight and spread confusion and doubt.

                I’m not though because the vast majority of people are not political hobbyists and they, like me, did not get the vaccine because it was fashionable. They got it because it was reasonable.

                Come on, you know as well as I do that none of your comments from the very beginning have been about encouraging anyone to get vaccinated.

                This is not true. But if you insist on believing it, take comfort from the lessons of Kurt Vonnegut’s Mother Night. Even if I’m pretending to encourage people to get vaccinated, it is still encouraging people to get vaccinated. You are who you pretend to be.

                  That was absolutely not the impression anyone would get from reading your initial comment.

                  Lol that’s not how that works. You’re actively sowing confusion and doubt and attacking people for being pro-vaccine, and then you defend this behavior by saying “actually, I’m pro-vaccine.” I don’t mind the part where you say you’re pro-vaccine. I mind the other part, the part where you’re discouraging people from getting vaccinated.

                    They do. Most people are not as irrational and simple as you are.

                    Lol that’s not how that works.

                    Yes. It is. If you pretend to be a Nazi and spread Nazi propaganda, you are a Nazi. That’s what Mother Night is all about. But I actually got the vaccine because like most people, I didn’t want to get covid. It sounds unpleasant. And if you don’t want covid, get the vaccine.

                    You’re actively sowing confusion and doubt and attacking people for being pro-vaccine

                    You keep insisting this but it’s not true. No one except you and the bots are getting confused about this. Rational humans will never believe that vaccines will make them explode.

                    I mind the other part, the part where you’re discouraging people from getting vaccinated.

                    I’m not doing that. That’s all in your head, pal.

      Yes it was fast tracked but it did not bypass all normal regulations.

      Not only was the vaccine incredibly safe it was also incredibly effective.

        Are you telling me, or are you telling yourself that?

        I don’t know, man. They said the same thing about PFAS, thalidomide, the 1976 U.S. swine flu vaccine and fentanyl. You could have up to an 80% increased chance of exploding before the age 65.

          This is just straight up misinformation.

          Show the statistics on ‘an 80% increased chance of exploding before the age 65’ or look at every single study that show it’s incredibly safe.
