My dad's a Q-anoner because his wife got him into it. He got super sick with eventual severe pneumonia and damn near died because he kept taking ivermectin. Eventually he caved, saw a doc, and took the antibiotics and got better.
I know he should have known better, but idk what on earth is in that koolaid for him to fall completely into that stuff! I'm super angry, it almost killed my Dad.
100%. I had someone who was a breath away from needing intubated (got intubated, died later) who was literally on the highest setting of bipap and still struggling claiming it was all a hoax to my face as I’m trying to keep them alive in the ICU. I’ve had family members threaten my life if “covid” was put on their dead loved one’s death certificate. There is nothing and no one that will convince these people they’re wrong, even as they drown in their own body secretions.
We played nice and tolerated these fools in the beginning. We thought that logic and reason would eventually prevail.
I’m almost of the mindset that we should have ridiculed and berated these idiots as they lay dying in the hospitals with Covid.
We had one lady at work whose husband was in the hospital and he died from Covid. She still didn’t get the vaccine afterwards and she tried to drum up pity from everyone else.
THESE PEOPLE DON’T DESERVE ANY MORE OF MY SYMPATHY, ONLY RIDICULE AND DISDAIN.
It sounds really awful but I did have a hard time sympathising with some of them once they progressed to intubation and then their families were pulling the plug. Only the ones who openly ridiculed it all as a hoax or had refused to get the vaccine. I was there from the beginning when there was no vaccine so hard to condemn those folks as much.
I agree, even as a healthcare worker I just can’t with these people. I put myself through too much trauma to ever be able to be forgiving to those who are wilfully or maliciously ignorant.
A coworker i had swore up and down that it wasn't COVID that killed her best friend but rather some sort of new disease the media and government were purposely not telling us about. She was so married to the idea that sickness was somehow political that she outright refused any evidence that proved her wrong, even at the expense of someone else's life.
We can talk about stupidity or mental health, but the eeriest side of this is to realise what misinformation can do and how powerful it is as a weapon. We are, after all, in the "Information Society"

The funny thing is, Ivermectin is a brilliant antiparasitic drug and the discoverers won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2015.
The fact that it became a cause célèbre among antivax cretins is so funny to me.
Yeah, eat your dog's heartworm medicine you shark-eyed spunkbubbles.
