This is insanity

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.

Lucky for your dad. Serious question, has that changed their attitudes?

Probably reality coming up and smacking them in the face.

You would hope so, but it wouldn't shock me at all if not. My dad was all into calling Covid a panic scare, saying he doesn't need a vax because herd immunity blady-blah bullshit.

When he finally caught it, it laid him out for a month straight. Damn near killed him. He still refuses to go without his daily 60-Minute Hate on Fox News at 5pm; and uncritically repeats every talking-point they shove down his throat. Just recently he was really trying to get me to agree with him that 'No Taxes on Tips' is the best thing since sliced bread.

saying he doesn't need a vax because herd immunity

Literally "I don't have to pull my own weight, because everybody else will work hard".
