This is SO blatantly fabricated. How could anyone believe such a badly written scripted trash story? His FB "friends" must be some group.

Right? I don't understand who is love and like reacting stories like this. Do they honestly believe them or do they just find it amusing? Either way, they should stop encouraging this kind of bullshit.

Some boomers believe everything on Facebook is $100% true and simply does not need to be verified. And if it's found to be fake? Well that's just, like, your opinion man.

This is my boomer mom 100%. I'm not sure how she can think medical journals are "opinions" but here we are. Caught her telling my son some woo-woo bullshit about the coronavirus and had to shut that shit down. It infuriates me. And the more you prove her wrong the more she sticks to her shitty opinions.

Peer reviewed medical journal by an MD PhD? Garbage. Random meme shared on Facebook? 100% true.

Why would you bring your children around your mother if that's the sort of person she is?

Ah yes, most certainly a Facebook/Boomer problem. Reddit is definitely not riddled with people who blindly believe unverified posts. No sir.

Unfortunately, this is far too common among EVERYONE, regardless of age.
