    Man that is a dark response. Unfortunately it’s probably true.

      Also and I seen this with covid too, we tend to concentrate on deaths and barely talk about the damage done by disease when you survive.

        With these people, they think the long term effects are fabricated or exaggerated. Death is a lot harder to make alternative explanations for.

          Death is a lot harder to make alternative explanations for.

          If only. A lot of dumbasses will justify it away as “God’s will.”

          I have few in my family.

          One likely contributed to the death of another as he convinced his brother in law to not get the vaccine.

          He now goes with the explanation that the hospital killed him. Ignores (or comes with new conspiracy theories) when asked why his brother in law needed to go to hospital if it was just cold?

          You know what’s funny? When he eventually caught covid (fortunately for him it was omicron variant, the other family member got delta). When he was sick he was willing to take anything, including a full bag of monoclonal antibodies (do you know how many microchips they could fit in one bag???) but then doctors didn’t want to give it to him.

          Of course after he recovered, he resumed talking about conspiracy theories.
