Facebook is a menace. COVID-19 is a menace. Conservatism is a cesspool. Together, those three ingredients have created a toxic stew of malevolent death and devastation. We can talk about all those things in the abstract, look at the numbers and statistics, and catch the occasional whiff of seditionist right-wing rhetoric. But I hadn’t really fully understood just how horrifying that combination of right-wing extremism, Facebook, and a killer virus was until I became a regular at the Herman Cain Awards subreddit. This series will document some of those stories, so we are aware of what the other side is doing to our country.
Today’s cautionary tale is “M.”
Well, she owns it.
So it’s all about being scared, huh?
No fear here! No slippery slope arguments about losing your job and being microchipped and losing your rights. No siree! Because M and her friends, they’re just all about not being scared!
I don’t recall ever being told not to take experimental drugs.
I remember being told not to smoke pot, inject heroin, or snort cocaine. But not because they were “experimental.”
Did you catch the dates? The same day that M announces that she and two family members have COVID-19, she is shit-posting about the vaccine.
Right now we know M, her husband, and two of her friends have COVID-19. Oh, and “a few others.” And now delta isn’t about fear anymore, now it’s a “horrible awful disease.” But she can’t own up to her own role in exposing others to “extremist content,” so she has to rationalize her reckless exposure to this disease by blaming it on “dang globalists and elitists” and “people who call themselves scientists” for unleashing the disease on an “unsuspecting public.” She’s just an innocent bystander!
And of course, this is “bio warfare.”
Now, if you’re attacked by an enemy, wouldn’t you fight by deploying countermeasures? Countermeasures like, you know, a vaccine?
But no, they’ll do none of that. Because their god is stronger than everything.
None of them think they have underlying conditions, which is why so many of them think that they will be spared COVID-19. They think it only affects people with underlying conditions and the elderly.
OMG. Ten unvaccinated, unmasked people partying together on July 24.
SEVEN of them got COVID.
THREE hospitalized.
M was laid up at home for two weeks.
Two weeks later, one was already dead.
M’s husband is still in the hospital. Her little party already killed one of her friends after hospitalizing three. She herself had a miserable two-week bout with the disease. Three teens were affected.
But sure, keep talking shit about vaccines that would’ve prevented all that carnage.
OMG her husband is in critical condition in the hospital, and she just can’t quit her anti-vaxxer nonsense!
Ten people partied without vaccines or masks. Two died, another spent time in a hospital, another suffered at home, and three teens were affected (hopefully with no long-term damage).
Most if not all of this could've been avoided with a simple, free, life-saving vaccine. But she was proudly “extremist,” and it cost her and her friends dearly.
