All the anti-vax shit going around drives me insane.
When people are claiming all the Q-Anon rubbish about Pizzagate / elite paedophile rings / adrenochrome extracted from stress chemicals emitted by small children being tortured etc, I can shake my head and be like "yeah, they're just crazy" - even when they're trying to guilt you into not joining their Save Our Children marches
But denying Covid exists is beyond disrespectful to those suffering the effects of it first-hand, those health-care workers putting their lives on the line to care for people dying from it and families who are losing loved ones to it. And then to be out there trying to persuade people not to have the vaccine-this makes my blood boil!
If you chose not to have the vaccine, if you are worried about the as yet unknown, long-term health implications or that it's been developed too quickly I can kind of get it and, although I still think we have a moral and societal responsibility to have it, I also believe in freedom of choice and can take the view of "it's up to you." But to then actively try to discourage others from having it-why would you even do that?? What do you personally get out of that other than validation of your own selfishness when people agree with you?! The more people who have this vaccine is our only chance of gaining some semblance of normality back!
The idea that every country in the world would get together to shut down global economies to track people through a vaccine when we are already tracked by our mobile phones is just nonsense.
The idea that big pharma/Bill Gates has invented this to make more money or that it has to be man-made... have these people not heard of diseases like Smallpox?! Or the plague? Or, even more recently, the Spanish Flu?!
Pandemics are not a new phenomenon and to think that it must be constructed by humans is incredibly arrogant, as if nature couldn't possibly have created such a thing.
I also think it's no small coincidence that these conspiracy theorists don't just believe in one, you tend to find they believe in them all. They claim that they "looked down the rabbit hole" and have "done their research" - when they actually mean they got sucked into watching hours of You-Tube videos! Oh the irony of fearing being controlled and tracked when you then discuss all this rubbish on social media platforms, on your mobile device which tracks you ALL THE TIME!
I just wish these "enquiring minds" would channel their energies (and their aggression-they get so nasty when challenged) into unearthing the facts behind REAL cover-ups, to actually help investigations into miscarriages of justice etc rather than spending their time spreading dangerous misinformation, trying to persuade those who are scared and vulnerable to join them and ultimately add to this crisis we're all living through.
(sorry for the essay, just feel so passionately about all this!)
Yep! I posted this list of words commonly used in conspiracy theorist / Trump supporter circles on a different thread a couple weeks back. Think it’s relevant here, a glossary if you will of frustrating words/phrases. The startings of CT bullshit bingo
New World Order
Sheep / Sheeple
George Soros
“Here... watch this video to open your eyes” *video always from a highly dubious source*
WAAAAKE UP!
The Great Reset
PLANdemic
MSM

I strongly recommend you do your own research (the most patronising of all!)
China...

Communism
Antifa (I reference to some big mythical club with major membership
)
This!
The one about recommending you "do your own research", you're right, so patronising! And yet their so-called "research" seems to consist only of watching videos on You Tube from crazies in America, or self-appointed "doctors" and they will. only share screenshots of made-up stats with no source material, no actual, scientific papers!
