A grad school friend of mine, a Taiwanese woman who *hates* China for somewhat obvious reasons, sent our WhatsApp group of alumni friends a link to that “Plandemic” “documentary” that alleges that the race to find a COVID vaccine is a plan by Fauci to make pharmaceutical companies rich. It’s anti-vax pseudoscience at its most deceptive and lovely so you can expect it to take off and spread like wildfire over the next few days and weeks.

For the life of me, I don’t understand why someone hasn’t given Andrew Wakefield a stern talking to and sent him to his room without dinner for being so naughty. That big bully has a lot of blood on his hands for kicking off the modern anti-vax movement.

Edit: done. Anti-vaxxers just piss me off so much. I’ve been to too many places where children die from preventable illnesses due to lack of vaccines, and these gullible Westerners with the privilege of being able to reject medical science with minimal personal consequence are the loving worst.

Yeah this is infuriating.

I literally teach a class about antivaxx stuff, pseudoscience etc.

I've only left my house 2x this week, in both cases someone brought up Judy Mikovitz and the plandemic poo poo. This stuff is being signal boosted like crazy. Once was someone in the grocery store that I know who knows I am a microbiology prof, the other was a guy making a liquid nitrogen delivery to work that I had to go in and work with right after. The 2nd guy just didn't want to believe that Mikovitz is crap. I just straight told him that "she's a discredited scientist who fabricated data, got caught and now tries to make money off of making controversial stuff" and he's like "well I want to read up more about her then".

2nd guy went on to ask me if I thought it was a weapon released by China...


Only reason I talked with him is because he came in doing the delivery not wearing a mask or any PPE (mandatory in our building) and I got on him about it and that's when he mentioned the "well I heard the masks helped spread the virus".

Asking him "what the gently caress are you even talking about" lead to the Mikovits stuff.

Well, when it came to the actual Nazis, this was fairly accurate. Their military was a very effective fighting force that took the combined efforts of the US, UK, and USSR to stop, while at the same time their governmental apparatus, economic organization, and weapons procurement were a clown show.

And yes, I know I'm really, really simplifying here, but the point stands.

One can only hope. Mike Pence doesn't have the cache that Trump does, I don't see the Right turning out in droves to vote for him.

Say (Not threatening just asking) if Trump died in office, would Pence be the most likely candidate or would we see an accelerated primary to pick a new Republican candidate for president?

So Donnie immediately got tested, but it came back negative - as it likely would if Donnie got dosed only in the previous few days. It should be a fun week or two tracking his public appearances.

Is there any doubt if he tested positive and didn't require hospitalization that he'd refuse to admit it? He won't even wear glasses in public, let alone a mask. Hell even if he did require hospitalization they'd still have a ham fisted coverup.

100% chance multiple other autocratic leaders have already tested positive but kept it quiet, like in Brazil or Iran.

Probably, but that poo poo would leak out of the White House, there's no goddamn way it could stay in the hands of just the tester.
