Anti-vaxx Chronicles: #F*CKJOEBIDEN they say, as COVID tears through their entire family
This post was originally published on this site
Facebook is a menace. COVID-19 is a menace. Conservatism is a cesspool. Together, those three ingredients have created a toxic stew of malevolent death and devastation. We can talk about all those things in the abstract, look at the numbers and statistics, and catch the occasional whiff of seditionist right-wing rhetoric. But I hadn’t really fully understood just how horrifying that combination of right-wing extremism, Facebook, and a killer virus was until I became a regular at the Herman Cain Awards subreddit. This series will document some of those stories, so we are aware of what the other side is doing to our country.
Today’s cautionary tale features an entire family, taken down by COVID.
Wife is blue, husband is black, sister in law is green, and daughter is red.
It’s always helpful to establish just how deplorable these idiots are.
She’s nursing home staff, and she thinks she should be able to walk around infecting high-risk elderly patients willy nilly. That vaccine mandate for nursing home staff couldn’t have come soon enough.
Husband stands for “medical freedom,” because he’s male and doesn’t need to worry about government getting all up in his uterus. He also calls the shots.
So mom, dad, and daughter are all proud anti-vaxxers.
Uh oh. Daughter is in utter misery because, it turns out, COVID kinda sucks.
As the previous screenshot confirms, it was her choice and right to be infected by a killer virus.
Mom’s got it now. It’s almost as if this virus is highly transmissible, hence the importance of gaining herd immunity via vaccination and continued precautions like masks and social distancing!
There goes the husband’s sister, and apparently this isn’t the first time since daughter writes, “Why does this keep happening to my family?”
This doesn’t keep happening to my family, or my friends. I wonder why? I do have a theory, though, and perhaps, maybe perhaps, it has something to do with this:
When it’s more important to say “fuck Joe Biden” by remaining unvaccinated than it is to protect oneself from a deadly virus, then perhaps bad things could happen, time and time again.
Husband’s got it too!
He’s taking up a hospital bed and draining medical resources because he wanted his “medical freedom.” How much freedom does he have in that hospital room, gasping for air?
Well, he’s now got the “medical freedom” to have a tube shoved down his throat.
Not sure why that graphic is so smudgy and hard to read, but the whole point of “faith over fear” was the idea that they’d rather depend on their god to keep them safe from a virus than to walk around doing things “out of fear” like wearing masks, socially distancing, and vaccinating. In this case, it’s already too late. Their god didn’t keep them safe from the virus. One of the four infected is already dead while another is on a ventilator, and survival rates for those are atrocious.
They should be afraid, because their faith didn’t protect them.
Oh look, it’s a collection of bullshit anti-vaxx Facebook profile pic graphics.
“Medical freedom” apparently means the freedom to beg other people for money, to bail you out of your own stupidity and recklessness.
COVID isn’t hitting everyone’s homes. It’s hitting the homes of people who do shit like place “medical freedom” graphics on their Facebook pages.
“Please protect …” they pray, refusing to realize that there’s a freakin’ vaccine sitting there precisely for that reason. TO PROTECT!
His lungs and kidneys are medically free to function.
These people love to say “99.8% survive!” Here you have a family of four, all of them got sick, and two of them didn’t make it.
Thousands of people are dying, and they think their faith, or their Facebook memes, or their boy king Trump will protect them from the consequences of their actions.
My favorite analogy is this one: there are 45,000 commercial flights every single day. If survival rate was 99.8%, that means that 90 of them could crash on any given day.If those were the odds of flying, would you get on a plane? I sure as heck wouldn’t!
That is their legacy. Was it really worth it?
