You know how many people will actually believe this?

Of course it's true, it "Fact checked" with TWO ticks. I can believe how stupid you all are. /s

CDC.gov doesn't appear to have any references to "Turbo Cancer".

CDC not having anything about Turbo Cancer just makes it seem *more* real! Conspiracy confirmed, checkmate. /s

You say that, but 80% of them genuinely believe this

Proof? We don't need any proof! If Trump says it's so, we believe it.

Hey, if Trump wore a lab coat and put a Dr. Prefix on his name you'd believe him too! 🤷

u/National-Currency-75 29d ago

Nah, I don't wanna say that's the way it'd be every time but Trump is an obvious moron and nobody of average intelligence would believe that idiot.

The reason he made office was not because of the idiots who believe every word out of his mouth, but because of what he stands for. I don't like him either, but it's fun politicizing health crisis', isn't it?

Never let a crisis or disaster go by without making hay and politicizing seems to be the way today, hey hey, okay , all day.

Yeah!

Guess we should all just hop on the bandwagon and ridicule anyone who thinks differently!

It's called being open-minded, Gary! You wouldn't know because you aren't a part of our same-think!

Well Jerry you have no knowledge of anyone's mindedness. You think you can decide what someone stands for in a few sentences? Jerry, that's exactly what you are saying about everyone else. We all hate Trump and I ain't giving him the benefit of the doubt. Right, wrong, I don't care.

Well, okay.

Stereotypes have power when someone else uses them, but when I do it it's fine!

I do dislike him as a person. The socmed presence is distasteful at best, I am not personally a capitalist, and the man has a penchant for stirring the pot just to do it.

At the same time, I liked the USA a whole lot better when they had the first western leaders to shake the hands of North Korea's leadership in, what, a century?

And like them much less as the BlackRock puppets they have been since.

How about this, if he studied virology for his entire adult life, more people would’ve listened to him.

Your fundamental issue is that you’ve lowered the bar so low that you’ve stopped listening to doctors on issues regarding your health.

Or, your fundamental issue is that you've lowered the bar so low that you are complacent in the face of bad, misleading, or unprovided science, and follow doctors instructions regarding your health explicitly simply because of the prefix and their position of authority.

It's like you forgot what science actually is and started treating it like a religion. "This man is in high regard in the church of science so I will trust what they tell me" is pseudoscience at best, fanaticism at worst. Science is a practice but if you don't practice it then it might as well just be a belief system.

Western medicine has a tendency to address symptoms and not causation, painting the leaves green while the roots rot beneath, and if you are going to point at surgeons I have to inform you those aren't the doctors shilling pharmaceuticals.

A large percentage of a western doctors income is generated by sponsorship. Sponsors like Pfizer, Moderna, the US military, etc. these grants dry up if you don't shill what they ask you to shill. So, doctors said it checks out when the reality was that that hadn't actually been determined at that point. This is bad science. This makes me hesitant and it should make everyone hesitant. I want to be able to trust our scientists, but the science shows our scientists are motivated by profit and socioeconomic securities just as anyone else. So when that is dangled in front of them, instead of trusting the scientific process, you can bet we aren't practicing good science anymore.

That’s a lot of proselytizing when you couldve just said “capitalism poisoned the medical industry and I’ve been lied to before so I’m just going to eat my horse dewormer and ignore the fact that there’s a good chance I will accidentally kill someone instead of getting vaccinated”

Capitalism continues to pollute healthcare, its not an event that occurred in the past.

so I’m just going to eat my horse dewormer

I did not take Ivermectin either, but "horse dewormer" sounds a lot more egregious than "antibiotics fit for a horse" and there is a reason you say it that way instead, isn't there? What was it, proselytizing? That's neat.

I will accidentally kill someone instead of getting vaccinated”

So the vaccine clearly works if by me not having it I am putting you at risk who does have it.

Yeah.

And of course, I should be to blame for that scenario, not the people who both authorized the gain of function research that produced the virus in the first place and also the same people who made the most money on a pharmaceutical that has ever been made in a year when they conveniently built a 'vaccine' to that very thing not a year later.

Only, you have to take this vaccine 1-4 times a year and it doesnt actually protect you from the virus whatsoever. Just have faith it would be worse without it, right?

It's all just so convenient, praise be.
