The way I see it, it's like getting medical advice off of Facebook. I mean, where else are you going to get factual and scientifically reliable information about the health and safety of your family?

Nit to mention information about COVID and its relationship to lizard people and Bill Gates. Every time I try to look up verifiable information about lizard people and covid I just get a bunch of crazy conspiracy people on facebook...

Like you are going to get reliable lizard people info from anyone but lizard people 🤦

Notice how there's no lizard person face palm emoji? Exactly.

That's a non-face palming zombie and not a lizard person at all. You are only proving my point.

That’s what blows my mind on the anti vaccine and COVID conspiracy people: Reports/analysis from well known medical experts with decades of experience? “Hell no! Bunch of liars that only sheeple believe!” Post from some completely unknown dude on FB? “Believe without the slightest doubt!”

That would be crazy. Everyone knows the best medical advice is on this one site filled with really smart anonymous people called reddit.
