Share your Covidiot stories

A classic! :slight_smile:

It’s sad we have to tell people this. If only there were some way to teach our bodies to make antibodies to fight the virus! Oh, wait…

Great minds think alike

This article seemed like satire, except it is real and sincere:

A potential new Covidiot craze: nebulized MMS* (chlorine dioxide) to prevent or treat Covid-19.

This substance is already administered orally or as an enema by the credulous to supposedly cure autism, infections and other ailments and has recently been promoted for Covid-19. It’d be a natural step for idjits to start inhaling it.**

*“Miracle Mineral Solution”, a.k.a. industrial bleach.
**they can point to a paper from a decade ago proposing that low gaseous concentrations of chlorine dioxide are antiviral and allegedly safe to breathe. Unfortunately they only tried it on mice. :thinking:

I read it, waiting for the punchline. Umm, OK…

Perhaps they’ll end the pandemic by killing off the spreaders?

I’ve been amusing myself on twitter by warning against potential quack cures, but I’ve tired to make them obviously not serious because there are a lot of idiot anti-vaxxers and I don’t want to give anyone an idea they’d really try.

A guy in Canada stormed into a pharmacy and beat up a woman who had given his wife a vaccination without his permission.

No suggestions about urine-drinking as an anti-Covid measure are necessary, as people have already done it.

Silly woman. Everyone knows you’re supposed to drink cow urine to prevent Covid-19.

Alternatively, some natural cures advocates recommend smearing your body with cow dung to prevent Covid, an eminently sensible measure as no one, sick or healthy will want to get within 50 yards of you.

BLM organizer is saying it’s a racist mandate

New York BLM Leader Promises National ‘Uprising’ Over ‘Racist’ Vaccine Mandates

“Seventy-two percent of black people in this city from ages 18 to 44 are unvaccinated,” Newsome said during the protest at Carmine’s, according to The Washington Examiner. “So what is going to stop the Gestapo, I mean the NYPD, from rounding up black people, from snatching them off the train, off the bus?”

“We’re putting this city on notice that your mandate will not be another racist social distance practice. Black people are not going to stand by, or you will see another uprising. And that is not a threat. That is a promise,” she continued. “The vaccination passport is not a free passport to racism.”

I wouldn’t take anything published by the Washington Examiner at face value.

Yesterday, the Daily Show ran a segment in which Jordan Klepper, one of the correspondents, met some North Carolina parents opposed to mask wearing in schools. You might find it interesting.

There was, of course, the obligatory swipe at Obama.

These games may not offer the levels of debauchery and partying as Obama’s maskless birthday soiree on Martha’s Vineyard, though they also don’t seem to be superspreader events.

The superspreader link is to the Washington Free Beacon which mediabias.com rates mixed in truthiness.

As is usual for conservatives, Mr. Cromwell is talking out of both sides of his ass at the same time. On the one hand, football crowds – long noted for their sobriety and restraint – aren’t superspreader events. OTOH they will end the pandemic. How is left as an exercise for the reader.

Cromwell’s argument is essentially: The pandemic is a farce, a made-up charade. Having huge crowds at football games will put an end to the charade and show that there was never a virus threat to begin with.

Sigh…

As opposed to some random person on the internet hand waving it away without a cite?

And she’s entitled to her opinion, even though it’s wrong. I have seen zero evidence that shows that the mandate wouldn’t be in place if blacks were vaccinated at a higher rate than whites. While the Newsomes have done much good, if your organization is named “Black Lives Matter”, you need to be pushing hard to get black people vaccinated today. If de Blasio is throwing up barriers to that, then I’ll yell and scream with you. If he’s trying to keep people alive and incentivizing vaccines, you’re on your own.

For all we know, she could simply be trying to keep her name in the news for next year.

Two federal charges coming up.

Anti-masker on this flight.

Friend on Facebook posted that her family mostly has Covid. Her husband got it between his first and second shot, and having a hard time. She had both shots and is still, sick but not nearly as bad. The older child, who was vaccinated, has been negative, but the younger one is mildly sick.

In five hours and ten comments since the post went up there are:

  • Two recommendations for ivermectin
  • Three recommendations for vitamins
    • The “cocktail” (ask your doctor, I’m told)
    • 10,000 IU of vitamin D
    • 4,000 IU of vitamin D combined with C
  • One recommendation for Z-packs
  • One for monoclonal anti-bodies
  • One for monocoloidal anti-bodies
  • One family that got it in February 2020
  • One family that got it because of the shedding from the vaccine one of them received
  • Zero offers to drop off groceries, run other errands, collect school homework, etc.
