There’s always been a critical mass of folks who will only believe what they wanna believe, right?

Social media has just been the catalyst to bring the folks together.

It's just so much easier to get and share the garbage any more. You used to have to work at research. Now people "research" vaccination safety by scrolling through their Facebook feed on their phone while taking a shit in the morning.

But, with the algorithms they all use, you only see the shit that feeds into that.

If you got videos/images at random you'd see that your crazy conspiracy theory is this small percentage, but when you see video after video of it, it validates it for you and you think everyone thinks the same thing.

This is a pretty cool tool

You can look at positive cases or deaths, overall or by individual vaccine, and by different age groups.

Your post reminded me of this:

Doctor’s office stories part two!

So at my physical they ask if I’ve had a flu vaccine.

Not this season.

They ask if I want one, and encourage me to get it.

BUT MAH RIGHTS!

“Oh, are you anti-vax?”

No, I’m anti-needle.

“Oh, well now there’s a nasal flu vaccine! You can just snort it up your nose.”

Oh, in that case I’m down!

“So you have any questions first?”

Yeah, do you need a credit card to cut it up or need me to roll up a $20 or anything?

Awesome. I’ll send it to my immunologist colleagues. I’m sure they will get a great kick out of this.

I wonder what Kyrie scores on this quiz

The vaccine is saving lives and filtering out shitty cops and healthcare workers.

We're closing in on science's greatest achievement.

I saw a bumper sticker the other day: “It’s not about preventing disease. It’s an IQ Test”
