Trip report after several hours after my second vaccine: Feeling fine. Felt drained when I got home, but I think that was just the high heat and my being hungry rather than the vaccine. The arm I got the shot in is slowly getting sore, but that happens every time I get a vaccine, so par for the course there.

The church in my neighbourhood got vandalized the other night. But, the leadership of the church... isn't being dumb as poo poo about it!

There are responses other than "do nothing" and "loudly opine that vandalism is NEVER ACCEPTABLE."

That ad is so insane I just can't stop giggling. It is very disconcerting that they think that ridiculous xenophobic conspiracy-mongering will play but good God it's...I just can't.

Like Bernier would run the poo poo out of this so we'll see how this play to get the People's Party back into the Conservative tent plays (trick answer they were never out).

I am always disappointed by people but if this plays I give up and await the heat dome end of it all.

Not that I'd recommend anyone watch that video because it is literally just batshit insane fearmongering now that he's had to pivot after his criticism of the vaccine rollout blew up in his face. Like "holy poo poo, he's out of his loving mind" conspiracy peddling that is only kept from sounding genuine by O'Toole's complete inability to ever sound sincere.

How did Chinese military get access to this secret laboratory?!

*walks past sign in front of secret lab*

Why did a scientist working on dangerous viruses send samples of them to a different laboratory that also does similar research??

Now, we know these samples weren't of coronaviruses and therefore have nothing at all to do with COVID-19, but watch this slowmo shot of Justin Trudeau's face.

I do agree with the part where Winnipeg somehow causes the downfall of civilization but I think it will be more mundane and probably involve Burton Cummings.

So I'm not going to watch the video, because it set off my "racist fuckwit detector" (colloquially known as "my eyes when I read who made that tweet") and the second vaccine has been handing my rear end to me all day, but... what in the everloving gently caress is he going on about? I mean, other than Winnipeg's infection rate dropping like a rock (despite Pallister's best efforts), I'm not sure what Winnipeg did this time with the pandemic? We've been getting our shots. Blame people in Winkler-and-the-surrounding-area.

Or is this more "WUHAN FLU WAS A BIOWEAPON MADE BY THE COMMUNIST CHINESE!!!!!!!!!!!!1111!!!1!1!1!1!!! *something something* LIBRULS!"" bullshit?

China fear-mongering, also implying that china created the lab in Wuhan and somehow Winnipeg was involved due to the work they were doing on increasing replication viruses.

The rest is trying to tie in a bunch of other poo poo.. it's really just qanon bait.

So here's the thing that I don't get about the whole "COVID-19 is a bioweapon" stuff. Okay, so, I'm guessing the mindset is "China made the virus in a lab with the intention to release it", but... the virus first started to spread in China, which means they... unleashed it on their own people first because... reasons? Why can't we get fun conspiracy theories like "COVID-19 was made by a non-China country to slow down China's economy, except that it's a virus and spread like a virus when every world leader is a loving moron"? I know, I know, because racism.

I got my second shot on Friday and felt great until this afternoon. Injection site is red and swollen (and the nurse couldn't even find the site to put a bandaid on,) joints ache, general viral symptoms. Hoping to not have to call in to work tomorrow.

I remember after the last election being really struck how Conservatives couldn't believe they'd lost. Didn't Scheer refuse to concede until the next day or something?

What I'm saying is, there's a pretty decent chance that Conservative HQ are once again huffing their own farts and actually believe this Covid conspiracy poo poo.

The narrative that covid was a bioweapon that escaped from a Chinese lab and infected their own population is something people very much want to be true because it simultaneously fulfills both the Yellow Peril narrative and also "lol China so dumb" narrative.

This is the crux of it, politicians and industries will push this gain-of-function narrative because it implies that China is more culpable than they are for their insufficient public health measures

Depends, there will of course be some sentiment from Pro-China immigrants. But from my circle they are mostly anti-china/anti-communist which is why they came here in the first place. They like parties that were hardline against Mainland China.

It will definitely depend on how the demographics have changed since then of course, and even bashing China can only go so far on winning that vote.
