what loving scheme would fauci even be trying to perpetrate in this scenario

to give blood clots to three people?

It is apparently an extremely rare side effect in pre-metoposal women.

So of course this is proof positive every AntiVaxxer ever is right and Fauci should be tried at the Hague.

I really hope Elon isn't vaccinated, I really do.

How does this loving idiot believe every conspiracy ever created? You are rich and powerful you loving rear end in a top hat: don't you think you would know?

I generally assume all the antivax conservatives are totally fully vaccinated and doing it to work up the MAGA base, but in Elon's case?

Yeah, I'd totally buy he's unvaccinated. Dude has no filter anymore and thinks he's the cool kid in the classroom.

President Trump and Elon Musk are both strong, independent leaders. They didn’t always see eye to eye. But neither did Patton and Churchill. Both understood the needs of true Americans whether it be food supplies, entertainment (The Apprentice/Twitter), matters of national security, adherence to the Constitution and sound economic principles (balanced budgets). Everything they do is for Americans because they are true patriots and selfless. We owe then a debt we’ll never adequately repay.

The thing being posted as "proof the FDA admitted it" was that apparently they held an open forum where anyone could speak, and noted crazy antivax rear end in a top hat Steve Kirsch showed up to spout nonsense, so now they're trying to use him as "The FDA"

And he’s still vastly overestimating that market segment because those people tend to lose interest the moment a new shiny thing comes along and there’s really not that many of them, no matter how loudly they claim to be the silent majority. He’s gonna have to keep adding more and more outlandish stuff he can never deliver on to keep the tiny bit of monthly income that Blue will give him. Really would be nice to have some big juicy advertisers right about now

Twitter was never the product. The people using Twitter were the product. It was never a platform that could hold a profit. This subscription service will go nowhere.

You are the sweetest person on this hellsite and we are not good enough for you FNLN

We spoke in DMs and I've sent him to the modern classification, the diagnosis was internationally changed in 2021 and there has been just decades of misinformation knocking about. The elephant in my room has always been "it wasn't the MMR was it?? :(" from parents.

almost everything that makes people say mean stuff, if they're not opportunist grifter/sociopaths like elon or genuine sadists like probably elon(all both kinda people are hopeless and will never change) is rooted in a lack of adequate education on the subject mixed with fear - either fear of the thing itself, or fear of social rejection from not disliking the things the in-group fears, or fear of punishment for the same (parentally, culturally, legally, or religion encouraged/enforced prejudices, all the stuff where they've been directly told 'You better hate this thing' f.ex),

people eventually hold those feelings for so long, they forget the fear is even there, and only remember the anger/resentment. it's still there though, behind everything else. that's the part that needs addressed to get anywhere

Those are the people who, if they're not too deeply entrenched in their prejudice and aren't active in a "we hate this thing" community, are absolutely worth engaging with and finding out what's got them freaked out or upset. it's harder for politically-adjacent things nowadays but for anything else, it's basically always the best approach as long as someone will consider what you have to say.

nothing calms anxiety more than not having the thing you're worrying about be an unknown anymore and most people bein' jerks genuinely don't want to be jerks, they're misguided and feel like they're protecting something important to them and don't understand the thing they feel threatened by isn't a threat

fear is a very misrecognized emotion, it's generally treated like people who are afraid of something are hiding behind trees and running for the hills or cowering and keeping their heads down, and if they're not, they're not afraid, and it's not that at all

it's perceiving a threat. fear can be mad dangerous, and it doesn't have to be a real threat at all, just real fear. that fear goes unrecognized because the people holding it want to protect against, fight, or attack the thing they're afraid of, and everyone else just sees the anger and hostility and so it basically never gets addressed, which hurts everyone involved, and that makes me sad

Oh yeah. It sums up his fundamental misunderstanding of what Twitter actually and why social media appeals to people in the first place. He thinks the platform is the product and it’s informing every choice he’s made which is completely untenable in the long run. he’ll end up the most popular boy in an empty playground and If a lib gets owned and nobody is around to retweet it, is the lib even truly owned?

It’s worse to be honest. He’s trying to fill in the Trump void but also trying to be as blaise as possible. Only that he comes across like one of those early 2000s forum warriors who always wants to get the last word in an argument.

It ended up that Twitter was the product. But it was sold just once, to a guy who paid 44 billion.
