Why are you still trying to convince these idiots medicine is good? Just let them die

[–] craftrabbit@lemmy.zip 1 points 24 minutes ago

*in the USA.

I wonder if this applies in other places as well. Maybe more strongly in places with a two-party system?

Make natural selection great again.

Can we make this a law?

Partisans have to follow ideological discipline... if conservative, you must:

not get vaccines
Not have abortions
Not be allowed subsidized food or health care
Follow all tenets of your Christian religion
Etc.....

We can call it the "Practice what you preach" law

[–] gian@lemmy.grys.it 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

As long as also the liberals follow the same law practing what they preach, it would be interesting to see who will survive in the end.

[–] benderbeerman@lemmy.world 2 points 34 minutes ago

I fully agree, but am having trouble coming up with examples for the liberals like i could for the conservatives...

[–] sen@lemmy.zip 4 points 7 hours ago

Not all conservatives I know are smokers but 99% of the smokers I know are conservative.

Best to let this problem sort itself out.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

These stories make me feel a little better, then a remember that herd immunity is a thing and these people are straight up blasé about their relatives choking to death from something preventable.

Herd immunity also works if you just shoot the deranged ones right?

Probably got hit with some huge unexpected medical bills and started avoiding doctors since they didn't trust them anyway.

Die faster.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 12 points 17 hours ago

Just like during COVID. Maybe there's a horsepaste shortage.

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 19 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

This is one way to make America healthy again.

Yep. If you cull the weak fast enough, you never have more than a handful of sick people at a time. Mom taught me that!

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 7 points 16 hours ago

Man, I was wondering why there were so many. They're so stupid I would have thought they would die out by accidentally putting their heads into wood chippers or something. Guess I was right, it's just taking a little longer.

Finally, some good fucking news

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 17 points 21 hours ago

Two words: Vaccine. Denial.

[–] GalacticGrapefruit@lemmy.world 37 points 1 day ago (39 children)

Someone I loved very much died because he thought the Covid vaccine would kill him. Before he fell down the alt-medicine rabbit hole, he was one of my favorite uncles. He was a good guy.

He had four kids, all still in grade school, and a wife who's now a single mom. He didn't deserve to become a casualty of a confidence scam. He deserved to live. It pisses me off when people look at the death toll of a believable lie and gloat about how it's removing the 'right' people.

They fell for a scam. That doesn't merit the death sentence.

natural selection

[–] KingPorkChop@lemmy.ca 16 points 22 hours ago

If you're a racist religious fascist and think an ivermectin enema will cure your polio, I'm ok with this. You do you.
