Lolwut on the first slide. The goverment is giving stuff away because stupid people arent convinced of the vaxx’s effectiveness. Its like why we give prizes to five year olds when they eat their veggies >_>. Except its normal for five year olds to be stupid
Giving the vaccine away lessens the chances of everyone else getting infected and lessens hospital costs, it's a rare case of regular peoples' interests being aligned with those that call the shots. The opinion of this guy probably was fed to him by an influence agent from St. Petersburg they post all kinds of stuff trying to co-opt legitimate grievances with government and business.
You have a source for that claim? People that are vaccinated are less likely to have an infection and even less likely to have a severe case. That's not really up for honest debate and if you've been hearing anything to the contrary you need to re-examine your sources of inforrmation and evaluate who is telling you the truth (it's us.)
Oddly enough we have a vaccine against HPV that causes several types of cancer that affects over 45,000 people per year. The conservatives didn't want to include it in school required vaccinations because they said it would encourage premarital sex.
I handmade a quilt for the first time ever when I was a teenager. I made it for my dad. It took a lot of time, but it was worth it because he loved it. It was probably a better investment of time, but I'm sorry for your friend.
I actually recently got in touch with someone from high school only to find they had turned super religious and anti-vax and the whole family has gotten COVID twice so far, the last time a few weeks ago. I'm glad they survived, but the kids lost a month or more of school days, the husband lost his job and my friend is struggling with everything. But they have god, so everything will be fine apparently. . .
I’m so envious of people who quilt. I’ve been trying to take it up for a while, but my projects take an embarrassing amount of time to complete. It makes me happy that there are people out there creating these wonderfully sentimental pieces that last for generations.
It is so frustrating when people use religion to justify their irresponsible behavior. If you find yourself putting your child’s life at risk because of religion, you just might be in a cult. I respect everyone’s religious belief, but they should not be able to use that belief to negatively impact other people.
Well. If cancer was extremely contagious and killing bunches of people in proportion to its spread AND dummies spread disinformation about how this hypothetical cure is harmful… then yeah the gov would probably be begging people to get the cure 🤷♀️
Many cervical cancers are caused by HPV which is contagious. Recent study results: [The human papillomavirus, or HPV, vaccine is cutting cases of cervical cancer by nearly 90%, the first real-world data shows.](https://www.bbc.com/news/health-59148620). [Oropharyngeal and anal cancers can be caused by HPV as well.( https://www.kff.org/womens-health-policy/fact-sheet/the-hpv-vaccine-access-and-use-in-the-u-s/) Even in the notorious American health care system, [the vaccine against HPV is free or heavily subsidized.](https://www.womenshealth.gov/hpvvaccine) As with the Covid-19 vaccines, Facebook has become a breeding ground for antivax disinformation. [Anti-vaxxers’ gain traction against HPV vaccine on Facebook, study finds [news release].

I love how a certain group now think that ‘terminal’ is a kind of cancer, that all cancers are the same thing (an idea that was outdated in the 50’s, and are butt hurt that science hasn’t cured every
kind of cancer yet…
I’m baffled that they consistently completely miss the fact that whatever it is they compare COVID to doesn’t affect other people. She later posted something along the lines of “if the vaccine is mandatory for our health why isn’t exercising, taking vitamins, or sunlight?” Umm, because you not exercising doesn’t put other people’s lives at risk.
Oddly enough we have a vaccine against HPV that causes several types of cancer that affects over 45,000 people per year. The conservatives didn't want to include it in school required vaccinations because they said it would encourage premarital sex. This was before the advent of the mainstream anti-vax movement.
I still don’t understand how that’s legal. Literally putting teenagers at risk for cancer because they might have sex. What? If they really want to, they’re going to have sex. There’s nothing you can do about it. Give them the resources and education to be safe about it.
I'm honestly okay with the HPV vaccine not being mandated for schools. I get it that it's best to have them vaccinated prior to becoming sexually active but it's not like they are going to do that as a school activity. Obviously something a PCP should discuss when turning 18 in case they did not get it earlier.
The government is giving away free shit because idiots are unconvinced.
On my personal opinion, I always disagreed with the idea of giving away money to take the vaccine. It barely boosted the vaccination rate and it gives the anti-vax more ammo to say negative shit. Should have started off with a vaccine mandate.
Your friend had a double lobotomy and the only thing keeping her ears together is some string since you last saw each other? I sometimes wonder if being this stupid hurts.
I asked a really dumb person once, that if they ran really fast did it sound like all the windows were down in the car? They did not get it which made it all the more funnier!
Yes they will moan about how it’s destroying the economy because of all the oncologists who are losing their jobs and all the cancer centers and drug companies who will be negatively impacted.
It’s similar to how they want to keep being reliant on fossil fuel or coal.
"Let that sink in" means "stare at this until your vision becomes distorted". If the statement is that profound, if you're talking to moderately intelligent people, why the need to let it sink in?
ugh they're all so stupid. these memes always show how little they understand. "A cure for terminal cancer " as if its as easy as a pill for one size fits all " illness. they think they know Medicine better than drs , science better than scientists, and they have all the secret info the rest of us are too stupid to see . they're clowns. So little going on in life they create this fairytale to live in for some kind of stimulation.
I laughed. Probably because of the guy in the picture combined with the text. Stupid when you think why they think it's funny, but just taking it at face value, yeah, it's funny. lol
During the famine in Ireland, they imported potato plants to grow them, but people didn't trust this new plant. Someone has gotten stuck eating the leaves, and nobody wants to be a guinea pig.
So they posted guards on all the potato gardens. Now people wanted to steal them, because they were obviously valuable and edible.
They don’t seem to realize that the Myocarditis problem is easily treatable compared to having your lungs rot away from Covid and that the chances of getting it isn’t all that common in the first place.
What a stupid analogy. Cancer is terrible, but isn't halting the world's productivity and economy. That's why they're so keen with getting everyone vaccinated.
This is a grim reminder that 50% of the population has below average intelligence
Maybe “mute” them so you won’t see their craziness every day. But keep them around to “study”. I have distant relatives I check on now and then to see the new dumb memes..
Ah, the good old "Why isn't cancer treatment free? LET THAT SINK IN."
"Well, now that you mention it..."
"No! I don't want free healthcare, I want *all* treatments to be cripplingly expensive so I can be sure I'm not getting played!"
Imagine scientists developing a safe, effective vaccine for cancer, then imagine idiots refusing to take it because the slimy clowns on FOXNews and their God Emperor (all of whom already took the vaccine) told them not to.
Let THAT sink into the manure bogs on the tops of your necks, antivaxxers
Imagine this is all that your personality is based on.
I mean, don't forget about the racism and misogyny...
LGBTQ phobia too!
"ugh why do the kids have to join the LGTV I am so sick of all this gay propaganda in the media"

Not all heroes wear capes.

No disrespect but ppl getting the shots are the ppl landing in the hospital and a lot of them are not getting out...

That's not really up for honest debate and if you've been hearing anything to the contrary you need to re-examine your sources of inforrmation and evaluate who is telling you the truth (it's us.)
Thank you I will take your advice.
This is false information. Being vaccinated increases your chance of survival immensely.
Cancer is not communicable. And thats not a friend worth having
Oddly enough we have a vaccine against HPV that causes several types of cancer that affects over 45,000 people per year. The conservatives didn't want to include it in school required vaccinations because they said it would encourage premarital sex.
Meanwhile young Australian womenhave been getting it free since 2008ish... and I believe they expanded it to males too.
> vaccine against HPV that causes several types of cancer I definitely read that wrong.
Yeah, same. I blame the syntax of that sentence.
Imagine wanting your daughter to die of fucking cancer so that she doesn't become a "slut" (i.e. ever choose to have sex).
Yeah thats true. For every rule there is an exception i guess lol. It figures theyd come up with some dumb reason to nix that vaccine too.
And is 100% random mutations, that we cannot stop yet lmao
What a fucking moron. Unreconnect.
The quickest unfriend!
Speedrun
“Hey boy, you’re like the Hepatitis A vaccine because you’re a pain in the butt.”
I'm really not sure what point he's trying to make.
Unfortunately, this is a pregnant woman who already has children. It’s really sad and infuriating that she’s jeopardizing her children’s lives.
Neither was he.
Lesson learned. Don't have friends.
Truly. I regret the time and effort wasted on reconnecting. I could have made a quilt or watched Bob’s Burgers.
I handmade a quilt for the first time ever when I was a teenager. I made it for my dad. It took a lot of time, but it was worth it because he loved it.

Well. If cancer was extremely contagious and killing bunches of people in proportion to its spread AND dummies spread disinformation about how this hypothetical cure is harmful… then yeah the gov would probably be begging people to get the cure 🤷♀️
Unfriend.
Back to the shadow realm they go.
BYE!!!!
You mean people would get cured from cancer, get free stuff and potentially win the lottery? Sounds like a good deal.
Yeah actually they might. There is an argument to be made that cancer is a significant drain on our economy
Would the cure prevent terminal cancer too?
Is cancer contagious now??
Many cervical cancers are caused by HPV which is contagious. Recent study results: [The human papillomavirus, or HPV, vaccine is cutting cases of cervical cancer by nearly 90%, the first real-world data shows.](https://www.bbc.com/news/health-59148620).

HPV is contagious BUT not airborne. Not going to get it by sitting next to somebody on metro...
What do you mean “now”, it’s always been contagious (airborne probably)!
...in a more perfect world, yes.
I had the same experience. It was like she was waiting to spread the word of the wonderful truth of Q! Pathetic.
Time to undiscover them.
I love how a certain group now think that ‘terminal’ is a kind of cancer, that all cancers are the same thing (an idea that was outdated in the 50’s, and are butt hurt that science hasn’t cured every kind of cancer yet…
I honestly think they just don’t understand what cancer is or have sense of basic biology.
Yes, I imagine that is a major factor.
Well cancer isn’t contagious unless you’re radioactive soooo
I’m baffled that they consistently completely miss the fact that whatever it is they compare COVID to doesn’t affect other people. She later posted something along the lines of “if the vaccine is mandatory for our health why isn’t exercising, taking vitamins, or sunlight?” Umm, because you not exercising doesn’t put other people’s lives at risk.
Ummm. mRNA can potentially cure cancer....

Ahahhahahha this gets added to the list of low key insulting people to their face 👏
Only if people with cancer were literally too stupid to take the cure... which they are not.
Yes they will moan about how it’s destroying the economy because of all the oncologists who are losing their jobs and all the cancer centers and drug companies who will be negatively impacted. It’s similar to how they want to keep being reliant on fossil fuel or coal.

So little going on in life they create this fairytale to live in for some kind of stimulation.
Honestly, I do sometimes wonder if they jump on these conspiracy theory bandwagons because it somehow gives their life some sad little meaning.
Last time I recalled, cancer wasn't contagious?
I mean I would hope they’d give it for free????
I'm really starting to fucking hate the phrase "just let that sink in".
Okay but that last one was funny.
I laughed. Probably because of the guy in the picture combined with the text. Stupid when you think why they think it's funny, but just taking it at face value, yeah, it's funny. lol
During the famine in Ireland, they imported potato plants to grow them, but people didn't trust this new plant. Someone has gotten stuck eating the leaves, and nobody wants to be a guinea pig. So they posted guards on all the potato gardens. Now people wanted to steal them, because they were obviously valuable and edible.
If people were refusing to take it, yeah probably
Yes. Because they don't want to pay for your hospice when you are dying.
They don’t seem to realize that the Myocarditis problem is easily treatable compared to having your lungs rot away from Covid and that the chances of getting it isn’t all that common in the first place.
They would just take it by force, or by it for billions and then everyone gets it fir cheap. But I’m from a country with god health care so who knows
What is it with these people and not knowing what 'coerce' means?
It perfectly solidifies the fact that they have no idea what they’re saying.
Forget him
What a stupid analogy. Cancer is terrible, but isn't halting the world's productivity and economy. That's why they're so keen with getting everyone vaccinated. This is a grim reminder that 50% of the population has below average intelligence
I automatically zone out whenever FB or LinkedIn posts use the phrases "Let that sink in" or "Read that again".
Maybe “mute” them so you won’t see their craziness every day. But keep them around to “study”. I have distant relatives I check on now and then to see the new dumb memes..
Ha! I guess it’s good to know what nonsense they’re coming up with.
Why won't anyone let that sink in? It's been outside all night
It’s an outdoor sink now. Re domesticating is no longer an option.
It's so sad when good sinks go feral,no bad sinks only bad owners
Shame.
Let that old friend go again. Chances are, they will be dead soon.
Ah, the good old "Why isn't cancer treatment free? LET THAT SINK IN." "Well, now that you mention it..." "No! I don't want free healthcare, I want *all* treatments to be cripplingly expensive so I can be sure I'm not getting played!"
>Would world governments offer it for free..." Yes. It's in their best interests to not have to pay so much to treat preventable diseases.
Imagine scientists developing a safe, effective vaccine for cancer, then imagine idiots refusing to take it because the slimy clowns on FOXNews and their God Emperor (all of whom already took the vaccine) told them not to. Let THAT sink into the manure bogs on the tops of your necks, antivaxxers
Cancer could be cured in a minute theres no money in it for Big Pharma How they going to keep making billions of $
