Exactly.

Wagging our fingers or looking down on antivaxxers isn't going to change anything. In fact, it might just make them cling even harder to their beliefs.

I'm completely serious when I say these people are incapable of being reasoned with, and that we must strategize as such. No reason, no logic, no propaganda will convince them otherwise. Not even faced with death will convince them otherwise. I say all this with sympathy too: they're totally not capable of rational thought about this issue; they've been deeply pilled and there's close to zero chance anyone, even their loved family members, will be able to get them out of it.

We do not deserve to live our lives filled with permanent plague because we also live with people who are too pilled to be reasoned with. An actual functioning government would protect us from that, no matter how unpopular it was.

I long for a reality where we force vaccinations at gunpoint and then send the rest abroad

I bought my dog some K9 N-95s too for when it gets even worse since parents love letting their unmasked kids run up on my pooch (realistically the chances are slim but wildfires are year round now so why not).

I've been advocating for my blue-maga family to take basic precautions and it's not going well. Today my dad sent me a Dr. John Campbell video which came out yesterday basically advocating that vaccinated people go out and get deliberately infected and anyway I'm going to go have a panic attack in the shower for a while.

College students moved back into town this weekend. Went to get groceries earlier and out of the 10 that I saw there, 2 were wearing masks. This is going to be very bad in a few weeks. Would be nice if they gave a poo poo but that's college kids for you.

if you'd like this feeling....



Are YOU a C-SPAMMER who has had their job hosed by COVID or is being forced to go back to a plague pit so your boss can see your smile?
Do YOU or someone you know have a knot in their stomach because they have to roll the dice with death every day for a pitiful paycheck?
Do YOU have a stable internet connection for 40 hours a week and are able to read words, talk without throwing up, and not be a total shithead on the phone?
Do YOU live in Ohio, Delaware, Utah Arizona, or Illinois?


GOOD NEWS! WE'RE HIRING!

Hi! My name is Business Gorillas and I want to do BUSINESS with YOU!!! My company is currently hiring for phone jockeys in a couple different departments. These are entry-level customer service positions with the following benefits:

- :siren: COMPLETELY WORK FROM HOME, WE'LL EVEN MAIL YOU A COMPUTER :siren:
- $16.00/hour starting and guaranteed full time
- A signing bonus of up to $2,000 if you stay for one year.
- Full benefits including health insurance, dental, vision, ~20 days of PTO, no-excuse sick time, and education assistance totaling a maximum of $10,000 a year.

I'm not going to lie, the jobs I have are dull and unrewarding, but I bet your current job is too! Tell those petty tyrants you debase yourself for tips to or that retail manager who keeps hitting on the 17 year olds to work with to :supaburn:GO TO HELL:supaburn: and join a company that won't ask you to risk your lungs for your pay. Hell, as long as you're not awful, there's plenty of room for promotions as soon as there's spots available!

:smith: "All I have on my resume is that I was a worker at the Dick Sucking Factory for 3 years and a Grease Trap at McDonald's..." :smith:
I DON'T CARE. I'm not here to make commissions or get money for what I'm doing, I'm here to keep you alive. NOBODY SHOULD HAVE TO RISK THEIR LIFE FOR A PAYCHECK, AND THAT INCLUDES YOU. Send me a DM and we'll work on your resume! I'm a bullshit artist by trade, so let me help YOU get a job where you can dodge Delta.

:smith: "I'm not in one of those states you talked about..." :smith:
SEND ME A DM ANYWAYS! If I can't find you a job, I'm working with other goons that also have positions at their own companies. If they're a good fit, I'll connect you two!

:smith: "I want a WFH job, but I have skills and $16.00 doesn't work for me..." :smith:
STILL TALK TO ME! The goons I'm working with have other jobs available. Hell, if I think you're overqualified for my jobs, I'll connect you to them anyways! I want you to make as much money for as little work as possible!

WE LOSE ENOUGH OF OUR LIVES TO OUR WORK, GOON. THERE'S NO REASON TO LOSE YOUR LIFE BECAUSE OF IT.

It doesn't even matter. Delta (or something like it) was a perfectly predictable outcome.

I know you're not trying to let them off the hook or anything, I just hate this framing because the implication is that the Biden administration/CDC messaging was completely fine until UNFORESEEABLE CIRCUMSTANCES WOE IS US. The problem isn't that we're working with an outdated strategy, it's that we're suffering the consequences of our actions.

this happened with the bleach drinking last year, but it's vexing that people think they can prevent covid by taking whatever poison one time and be good. looks like ivermectin has a half-life of 18 hours.



if people are serious about preventing covid, they would have to take the poison repeatedly.
