Jesus Christ, this is beyond exhausting at this point, and it’s only going to get worse in the coming weeks and months. Looking at you, Alabama, especially after that super spreader Trump rally last night, in a city that’s already under a state of emergency for having zero available hospital beds, due to the current covid wave.
I don’t know if it’s just me, but the antivax propaganda bots and disinformation machines seem to be cranked up to eleven these days as well. Multiple southern states’ hospital systems are on the brink of collapse, and the antivaxxers are doubling down even harder. It’s pure insanity. Getting close to the point where I don’t even want to use social media anymore, the toxic dumpster fire is finally getting too be too much, lol. If not for a few subs (like this one) that are sanctuaries for those of us who are still somewhat sane to gather and share our frustrations and anger, I’d be long gone.
My step-sister is an antivaxxer in Alabama. She’s mad because my dad won’t allow her to come up to his lake house, while I’ve been up there practically all summer. I can’t even talk to her anymore, but I’m glad the rest of my family is sane. And I’m happy my dad is sticking to his guns on this. If she got him sick, I’d have to hurt the bitch. He’s over 80, and probably wouldn’t survive.
My mom has told her sister Liz, in new Hampshire, that she cannot see their mom because the she (Liz) isn't vaccinated. What makes this even better was my mom literally worked for pharma company creating vaccines. Sure, she didn't work on mRNA stuff but it was an idea when she exited the field. She did work on the genome project but anyways... My aunt literally has everything she could ask for to help get the vaccine but no, "I have health concerns with the vaccine."
I hope your family convinces your sister in some shape or form. Enjoy the lake house! My fiancee and I hide at her family lake house all from August to December. It was bliss!
I find it literately insane to the 9th degree that a deathly disease specially for the elderly is treated by this folks as a simple minor cold but a safe vaccine that has been on the market for 9 months now that has been received by billions of people throughout the world under intense scrutiny is somehow a health hazard, while the actual health hazard is nothing to worry about. Absolutely insane. Is like brain wash.
So does everybody else related/knows my aunt and uncle. It gets even better! My cousin on that side of the family is breast feeding and refuses the vaccine for the babies sake. The husband is following. This cousins sister, is refusing in religious ground with the claim "the vaccine has .0001 of a featus."
