As I type this, he’s currently the top post on soryantivaxxer. Despite my name, I live in Washington now. His public resignation was ‘big news’ here. ---

[NC man woud rather die than get vaccine](https://www.wral.com/coronavirus/i-m-willing-to-die-nc-man-denied-life-saving-kidney-transplant-over-vaccine-requirement/20106699/) > A North Carolina man is turning down an opportunity at a lifesaving kidney transplant, because the hospital is requiring he be vaccinated against COVID before the procedure. > > Chad Carswell is a double amputee and has been undergoing dialysis up to three times a week. His kidney is functioning at four percent. > > “They said the last thing we need talk about is your vaccination status,” Carswell said. “And that’s when I politely told him there was nothing really to talk about. It wasn’t up for debate that I wasn’t getting it. And then he told me, you know you’ll die if you don’t get it. And I said I’m willing to die.” TBH, I really hope they don’t change their minds about giving him a kidney. Save it for someone smart enough to realize what an awesome gift it is. ---

I’m seeing things online with people showing magnets sticking to them after they got the shot. Thing is, it’s not hard to get a small piece of metal to stick to the skin. Perspiration makes it a bit sticky, and if you press something into the skin, it will stay for a few seconds. Some people are even showing it with coins and keys, neither of which are magnetic. ---

Yes, I can make a variety of desktop items, magnetic or not, stick to my face for long enough to take a photo.

> [@RealityChuck](#): > > Some people are even showing it with coins and keys, neither of which are magnetic. Well sure, true in the US for coins, but not true everywhere. My brother - who is a medical doctor, actively treating patients - said one of his nurses showed how a coin stuck to her arm after the vax. The crazy is everywhere. ---

> [@Mama\_Zappa](#): > > It’s truly horrifying to hear of medical people (who have, supposedly, had at least SOME scientific training) being so moronic about vaccines. A high school classmate of mine was just fired from her job at a hospital system… for prescribing ivermectin and hydrochloroquine. We have NOT kept in touch since high school, but she’s a surgeon (I had thought plastic, but googled her and saw her listed as a “general” surgeon). In general, not a specialty where you’d expect someone to be dealing with pulmonary issues. Her FB page has things like supporting the Ottawa truckers. And googling her, the woo is strong. I’m seriously disgusted with those few HS classmates I know anything about. Things like “where there’s smoke, there’s fire” (wanting to believe hospitals are falsely diagnosing patients as having COVID, for financial reasons, despite lack of evidence), “The COVID surges in the south are ALL DUE TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS” (I unfriended that person), and the fellow who said, with a “straight face” (well, it was Facebook - but I think the guy was sincere) that he voted for Chump vs Hillary because he didn’t want his daughters to think it was OK to let your husband treat you the way Hillary let Bill treat her. ---

I have a faculty colleague who won’t wear a mask in class. Last Spring, she was harassing other faculty who were still teaching remote for not “doing their jobs”. I replied that she is likely conflating teaching excellence with in-person teaching (this is college, not K-12) and my students were doing great. Well, we’ve been teaching half capacity since the second have of last Spring and full capacity since Fall (except two weeks remote this past Jan). We teach at least 75 different students in groups of 25 each. Some full F2F teachers are in contact with each group six hours a week in a small room or small lab. So I’m preparing to go home yesterday, late in the day, and hear a ruckus. Someone’s coughing and asking how long does she have to quarantine. Apparently, Dr. Covidiot got a positive covid test yesterday. So she exposed at least 75 students for at least 3 hours so far. Guess what she teaches? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Microbiology ---

I learned something startling today on Natural News. “What happens next is that vaccinated humans are emitting Bluetooth codes. There is a phenomenon going on called the “Bluetooth challenge” videos. Normally, Bluetooth devices have names on them, but what’s happening now is that when someone goes into a crowded room full of vaccinated people, there are anonymous Bluetooth addresses that show up. They’re anonymous addresses from vaccinated individuals who are emitting a signal.” This is way cool! Now I can cancel my cellphone service and save a bundle of money. Weak signal? No problem, just get another free booster. ---

> [@Jackmannii](#): > > They’re anonymous addresses from vaccinated individuals who are emitting a signal.” In Washington, we have [WA Notify](https://www.doh.wa.gov/Emergencies/COVID19/WANotify), which alerts users to possible exposure to SARS-CoV-2.
