Covid is just a little blight, And Donald Trump is always right, And night is day and day is night In Antivaxxer Hell. Masks don’t work, vaccines are bunk, And all that Pharma makes is junk. (They tweet as though they’re always drunk, And then, they cannot spell.)

@JAFERDIAN I have to say that's an immense overreaction. Monkeypox is not smallpox. It has never spread efficiently. IIRC, when it came to the US years ago, it never spread at all. As long as it isn't permitted to move through many human hosts in a continuous chain, transmission will end.

Of course the 1918 flu was caused by a failed flu vaccine! Never mind that the flu virus wasn't even isolated until 1933. It just proves that time travel has been in operation longer than we thought. The 1918 flu was a nefarious product of World Government from the year 2525.

Good lord- RFK Jr. claimed on Rogan’s podcast that there is good evidence that the flu vaccine caused the 1918 Spanish Flu epidemic. Slight problem with that claim: influenza had not even been identified until the 1930s and a flu vaccine wasn’t available to the public until 1945.

@gudrundahle @themaxburns No. No. Just. No. They played “Halleluyah”? That’s an obscenity. I swear Leonard died when he did because he couldn’t go in existing in Trumpworld. I miss him so.

@HatteBlejer @jacobkornbluh @nathanguttman @kann_news All of the above is true for me as well - I've lived in Israel, speak Hebrew, sent my kids to Jewish day school. And I totally agree.

@BeckyJohnson222 You can't call autism an epidemic because it isn't a disease.

@jonbecker_ I would rather jump off the Brooklyn Bridge or blow my brains out with an AR-15 than eat an egg salad sandwich. It's all I can do to sit at the table when someone else is eating one. I have to control my desire to run from the room.

@mloxton @amybarnhorst We don't know what things will be like from now on, and people need encouragement to do the right thing—get vaccinated, keep wearing masks for now, avoid large indoor gatherings—so that one day we don't have to do all that (except maybe boosters) and that's normal life, returned.

@fr_lavapancakes @pjandy @Neoavatara @BillKristol In case you didn’t notice, there was no apparent bump in disease rates after the BLM protests. Those people mostly distanced and wore masks. The good folks in South Dakota at the Sturgis motorcycle rally, though, seeded thousands upon thousands of cases. Because stupid.

You forgot the third story: 3) How a bunch of grifters created a nonsensical, totally unsupported idea (can't call it a 'theory') that Chinese scientists with the help of Americans like Fauci helped develop a world-altering pandemic virus. It's crap and you must know it.

Regarding #OriginOfCovid there are 2 stories. 1. How the pandemic started. 2. How some leading scientists sought to squash the lab leak hypothesis as a conspiracy theory and continue to intimidate other scientists asking for a fair investigation.

@closhee @Aly_Sheehy Oh for God's sake. Adults are supposed to protect children! That's why human beings have a prolonged childhood and adolescence. Young people are vulnerable, and this kind, gifted girl was completely helpless with this evil lout. She shouldn't have been forced to work with him.
