I think you used to have to look harder for a community of like minded lunatics before - attend their meetups, subscribe to their newsletters - whereas now with social media they're fucking everywhere. And for those of us old enough to remember when news had to be true, it can be hard to spot misinformation if it's presented well. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kadoodle Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Social media is heaving with halfwits carrying on about “vaccine apartheid”. I’m so angry. Do any of these overprivileged crybabies have any idea about what apartheid actually was? 11 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that blacks didn’t have a choice do to something they couldn’t change, yet whites did. anti-vaxxers are still white in any apartheid analogy. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo Void Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 With Covid a lot of people prone to believing conspiracy theories are stuck at home with nothing to do but trawl the internet. My current concern is the cleaving of human contact through lockdowns and how vulnerable it leaves a population to groups who prey on the lonely. Religious groups. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. My H has been out of work since January and fuck, the conspiracy rabbit hole BS has just gotten worse with his lessening of responsibilities outside the house and lack of real people to brush up against with this bull. Add in his anxiety and his lack of education and critical thinking skills... 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pnut Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 That anti-vaccination chick I linked an article about earlier in the thread is a really deluded piece of work.

Aust-27 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 All those that didn't listen at school from qualified teachers now listen and educate themselves on social media. And sadly think they have earned a Bachelors or Phd. I have confidence the generations now and after are/will be more savvy on who to believe and who not to. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully. Admittedly I'm currently helping a yr 7 kid to read and article and read between the lines, identify bias and understand what the purpose of it is (reporting on political situation). And we've already had multiple conversations about misinformation and how easy it is to produce by manipulating just one fact and then stringing it along to make everything else seem "real".

Meepy Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) And Sam Frost is now getting the vaccine. Surprise, surprise. Amazing that her medical issues have disappeared! The magic of science and medicine must have worked a miracle to rid her of her ailments. eta nice effort to hide it, releasing on Melb Cup Day with Scomo, Glasgow etc. acting as shields.

Seayork2002 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 I am not speaking of Sam Frost as I have no idea of whether she has had botox, collagen, plastic surgery etc. But I am still amused by coke snorting, willing to have chemicals injected into their bodies in the name of looks but have jumped on the antivax bandwagon 'do your research' celebs 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernegirl Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Of course now I’m dying to know what medical procedure you’d have to delay vaccination for. I can only assume it’s a non-essential procedure that isn’t a priority in surgery atm 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it's an egg retrieval and that's why she doesn't want the Vax in case it affects her fertility? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only she wasn't also sprouting all the segregation bull shit and encouraging people to research the truth and refuse the vax. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT, if you were anti vax for that I would think you would want to not have it prior to having a child? unless she is doing a sophie monk and freezing her eggs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
