Share your Covidiot stories

The Marching Morons – life imitates art.

Yes it does - Idiocracy - Wikipedia

Mentioned in my link.

The 2006 film Idiocracy borrows the idea of the world population becoming moronic through the stupid breeding more, but it does not have genocide or a super-clever elite.

I often see WaPo stories in the evening that are dated the following day. Maybe a thing about time zones? Or maybe they just jump the gun when they publish?

Ha! I read the intro and thought “man, this sounds like Idiocracy”. :rofl:

I wasn’t going to post this here, but one of these coworkers has definitely attained Covidiot status now. She says that she doesn’t believe that she had COVID the second time. It was just a false positive. She says if she feels sick again she’s just going to assume it’s the flu and not play “your stupid games” (i.e. get tested)

Italian man tries to dodge Covid vaccine wearing fake arm.

Ironically, this one might have avoided getting caught if he’d worn a mask:

A man who put superglue on the lock of a Covid-19 vaccination centre, preventing 504 people from getting jabs, has been jailed for 12 weeks.
Hayden Brown, 53, of Burgh Road, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, squirted glue into the keyhole of the centre’s door on 26 November…
He was arrested on Tuesday after being identified in footage from cameras that had been installed following two previous incidents earlier in November…

I wonder if they could cut a hole in the windows (assuming they reach to the ground) to let people in? Or would there be some building code forbidding it? And how much would be involved in getting a new door?

WTF is wrong with people like this? Why do they care if others get vaccinated? Are they going to have to put guards outside of locked clinics?

What do they think they’re achieving anyway? It isn’t like the people he locked out won’t get vaccinated there or elsewhere.

12 weeks doesn’t seem like enough but I guess a deal was made.

I’m concerned that we’re going to start seeing terrorism against clinics and pharmacies.

Even on the lunatic fringe of anti-vaxxery, there is an additional more-lunatic fringe who seem to truly believe that the vaccine is an active effort to kill Americans, and who see themselves as noble warriors fighting against that. I could certainly see some of them taking it further than sabotaging a lock.

30 years ago I was at a pro-choice rally in a park. An anti-choice person told me he’s ready to kill to save the life of an unborn child.

It wouldn’t be the first time that’s happened.

I don’t see this in a thread search, but about a week ago that guy William Hartmann in Michigan who was refusing for a while to certify Biden’s election (and who appeared in a couple of videos being a nutjob, and who was anti-vaccine), has died from Covid.

Based on the number of anti-abortion bills that don’t include a provision for saving the life of the mother, it seems this attitude may be a bit more common now. :confused:

It’s like an '80s horror movie. If you have sex, you deserve to die.

This is from a few months ago, but I don’t recall seeing it posted here:

The Forbes writer then did a bit of commentary:

I wish I could say I misheard this, but about 4:40 this morning the local news AM radio station was interviewing some physician on who said “If you’re healthy, you don’t need the booster.” ARGH.

(Unfortunately, the radio’s web site is terrible, so I can’t give a cite.)

I wish I was surprised that it was so many, but I suppose I should be happy it wasn’t more.
