Jack Posobic is a right wing grifter. He isn't joking.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago

Well, he is. He just knows the suckers aren't in on it.

Yeah but he hasn't got the Armenian flag in his username which makes me think he has at least four brain cells, so it's possibly a joke.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

Do you mean the Liberian flag? 🇱🇷 Never heard of the Armenian flag 🇦🇲 being confused for the USA’s

Poe's law, etc.

I cannot decide if the right are really that stupid or if this is just satire.

[–] [email protected] 67 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

it's clearly satire, real antivaxxers aren't smart enough to understand what that guy's saying

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago

I say both. :^) They can be this stupid but this is probably satire.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

It(or similar event) was real thing.

Jack Posobiec is a weird nazi guy

well obviously we should make this groundbreaking new approach available to anyone who wants it alongside traditional vaccines.

then we can just require proof of vaccination or this new alternative - let's call it "inoculation" for now - for school attendance.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 months ago

Yeah, maybe we could suggest they even use "dead" versions of the viruses so they don't have to actually put a live virus inside of them, and their body will learn what the virus looks like and not have to deal with it replicating.

Then once they like that idea we can suggest we attach a protein to something so their immune system can recognize it as not naturally occuring and mark it down as destroy that shit if I ever see it again even without the protein.

Ate the onion?

It’s hard to tell sometimes…

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 months ago

Jack Posobic is a right wing douche nozzle. Dude's either serious as a heart attack or knows how dumb the people he peddles this shit to are and this is him screaming into the ether.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

Satire is dead.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 months ago

The guy must be full of sarcasm.

The oral polio vaccine actually did that. It used an attenuated virus that didn't just confer immunity on the recipient; the mild infection from that weakened virus was (somewhat) transmissible to the community at large. Everyone who was directly vaccinated via OPV had a small but significant chance of infecting and thus immunizing the people around them.

Of course, there was also the problem that the attenuated vaccine occasionally mutated, and about 25 years ago, we got to the point that the vaccine was actually causing more cases of paralytic poliomyelitis than the almost entirely eradicated wild variants...

The same thing that always happens will happen: I can’t take it! It makes me sick!

(For a day).

The resilience and lack of capacity for any discomfort at all is mind boggling. A fever for 1 day probably won’t kill you, will protect your family, and save you A LOT of money in medical bills and work loss (paycheck loss) going forward.

I’ve done 2 things post COVID booster, and post H1N1 which was live attenuated in the nose: stayed home and played a computer game, or, took Tylenol and gone about my day.

It amazes me that society continues to function given people the number of people who can’t handle minor life discomforts without complete personal implosion. Granted, the grace with which COVID masking for 10-20min at a time was handled by the masses is a marker of that.

Small pox too. Milk maids were exposed to cow pox as part of the job and as a result were immune to small pox.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

True, but then we developed the smallpox inoculation, which had roughly a 70-30 chance of killing you outright.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 months ago

Yeah bro just snort some ground up small pox pustules like our ancestors did.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

This is what happens when you break words by altering their definitions. We recently broke the word vaccine, and already we have people who don’t know that a weakened virus is a vaccine.
