cue antivaxxers' pro-plague and pro-death screeching 🤦♂️
Any day now those vaxxed will drop dead!!
I often go by a place were somebody tagged the wall with something that roughly translates to "Half the vaccinated will die".
So half will not? Ever?
The other half becomes vampires, obviously.
So, the 5G mind controller chips in it do make sense after all.
It’s an easy issue to resolve, really. Just install garlic frequency beams to our 5g towers and boom solved the vampire crisis
Everyone dies
Exactly.
Whomever did that tag didn't think enough to notice they're implying that the vaccine gives ethernal life to half those who take it.
(It also neatly illustrates how simplifying one's idea down to a slogan actually increases the chance of ending up implying something else than the idea one wanted to pass)
Does that mean I won't have to go to work anymore or will they find a way to indenture and monetize my corpse?
Capital zombies. I don't think I've seen that movie done....
Haha, but if we do, they will follow in a gross and painful fashion: In Canada, 83% of the population received at least one dose. I believe we are ~~39M~~ 40M now (lol, I was sleeping).
So 6,800,000 gonna keep the electricity going; grow and process food; and perform medical procedures? --Oh wait, all the medical people are dead. Speaking of dead, there aren't any firemen to dispose of the 33,200,000 bodies! Damn, biohazard everywhere. I'm assuming their edjumacashun didn't be gud, so I'm not hopeful of their prospects for rebuilding, but I suspect rage will take out who is left before it gets to that point anyways.
Edit: Math is hard
Surelly at least the food problem and the bodies problem can be solved at the same time by resorting to cannibalism?!
With a bit of luck the vaxxed would drop dead in early Winter, which would help preserve the meat longer.
What's the proportion of the overweight in Canada? I'm thinking maybe the energy problem too can be solved with a proper use of all that fat.
Well if we wait long enough, they will! See! We were right all along!
"It's God's will!"
I was browsing LinkedIn before Christmas and a person popped up in my feed who spent the entire pandemic over on Twitter posting misinformation. This POS dressed up the misinfo as if it were science & statistics even though it was obviously distorted and cherry picked nonsense. He had hundreds of thousands of followers so I think it is reasonable to assume people died as a result of his garbage.
In the UK there is a law called the Cancer Act which was enacted in the 30s to ban advertising or selling of quack cures for cancer and give some means to prosecute offenders. I really wish that act were modernised to ban advertisement or promotion of quackery for any disability, chronic / terminal condition or contagious disease.
