> [@Mighty\_Mouse](#): > > I’m in New England. I see lots of COEXIST, rainbow, pro-choice, pro-evolution and other bumper stickers that I interpret as liberal. Same in brownstone Brooklyn, where I live. Often on Subarus, probaby mostly driven to summer/ski houses in New England. Also, there’s plenty of woo on the right. There’s lefty anti-vaxxers and righty anti-vaxxers. The lefties love crystals, the righties love colloidal silver. And sometimes they mate and reproduce and unholy chimeras are created. ---

> [@Skywatcher](#): > > For example, tens of thousands of women all over the world have recently been reporting adverse reproductive issues from being in close proximity with those who have received any one of the COVID-19 injections, e.g., irregular menses, bleeding, miscarriages, post menopausal hemorrhaging, and amenorrhea (complete loss of menstruation). No one knows exactly what may be causing these irregularities, but it appears that those who have received the injections may be transmitting something from their bodies to those with whom they come in contact. Ooh, perfect example for my students in quantitative literacy and stats course! Even assuming the claim of such “reports” isn’t total made-up bullshit from start to finish: 1. How many women “all over the world” experience “adverse reproductive issues” with no identifiable cause simply at random? (Hint: “tens of thousands of women” is about one one-hundred-thousandth, or a thousandth of one percent, of the billions of women that exist all over the world.) 2. How many women “all over the world” have been “in close proximity with those who have received any one of the COVID-19 injections”? (Hint: Over 10% of the world’s population is at least partly vaccinated against COVID, so although the distribution of those shots is very non-uniform, the odds are high that very many women have been “in close proximity” with a vaccinated person.) 3. What is the probability that the allegedly reported “issues” could be happening purely by chance irrespective of whether the sufferers were in proximity to a vaccinated person or not? (Hint: Pretty fucking high.) ---

I’m not convinced that that is true, and as [I pointed out here](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polly-want-a-cracker-vaccine-passports/940919/27), we are currently leaning towards it being a requirement to return to the office when we go back to a hybrid home/work office model. ---

It’s almost tangible, the glee they display on “helping parents” with filing for religious exemption from the state’s vaccination requirements. Oh, yeah; this is a group of parents pre-selected (self-selected?) for gullibility. ---

They must have it custom-made by the prop shop of a movie studio specializing in either porn or horror. These people have lifestyle expenses! These people are “Trump-lite”. There is no reason to believe that anything that they put in the public domain has any bearing on reality. That photo is from a magazine photo shoot that - for all anyone knows - may have been shot with hired costumes and on a set. Everything about them suggests they would be believers in the magical-thinking adage “look rich to get rich”. I wouldn’t take a single thing they say or present at face value. ---

> [@Princhester](#): > > Everything about them suggests they would be believers in the magical-thinking adage “look rich to get rich”. There’s a lot more than suggestion regarding their believing in magical thinking. See the bits upthread about the use of crystals for medical treatment at their “school”. BTW, is there an online list of accredited K~12 schools in Florida? ---

Well, I could have a grandkid old enough to drive. I don’t, but I _could_. So 2004 doesn’t seem that old to me.
