It takes a "one in several centuries" shock to imprint something into the collective discourse. We had WWII and the never again movement which indirectly led to the end of colonization and the civil rights movement.
It would be nice if this event were peaceful, but I am not holding my breath.
I'm honestly not sure we even can imprint anything into the collective discourse anymore. Entire media ecosystems exist now to impart their own reality to their consumers, and I dont know how we get past that.
Just look at covid, which should have been one of those "one in several centuries" level events. I'm 50, and never in my life has one thing caused so many deaths of family and acquaintances as covid.
And yet, people who lived through the exact same event only a few years ago are claiming that the covid vaccine is more deadly than covid. They all have real friends/family who were killed by covid, and dont know anyone killed by the vaccine, but they still repeat the lie.
Nah there was that guy that lost his kid to the measles a few months ago. He then said he was glad she didn’t get vaccinated because another result would have been way worse.
They'll blame whoever they are told to scapegoat. Its not like theyre suddenly going to see the error of their ways. If they were able to do that they wouldnt be following this narrative to begin with.
Unfortunately the stupid people are the loudest because they have no concept of self-doubt and so believe they cannot be wrong about anything. Whereas intelligent people know they cannot be right about and know everything and so their self-doubt means they are less likely to talk over the morons.
The plan to install the warnings for Covid-19 vaccines is being orchestrated by Dr. Vinay Prasad, the FDA’s chief medical and scientific officer and director of the agency’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research
So, let's see who he is.
Reading the Wikipedia article about this doctor, at first he seems like a fairly intelligent and well-versed person in this field. But...
In January 2022, the conservative periodical City Journal published an opinion piece by Prasad in which he attempted to demonstrate that the American public health organizations were not being honest in their response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Writing for Science-Based Medicine, epidemiologist Lynn Shaffer criticized Prasad's article for the various "mistruths" it contained about face masks as a COVID-19 mitigation measure, for example the unevidenced claim that mask wearing was stunting children's language development. In Shaffer's view Prasad's writing "lean[s] heavily on pushing people's emotional hot buttons" and amounted to a form of fearmongering.
Prasad was an early member of the Urgency of Normal, a group that in 2022 campaigned against quarantines and mask mandates in schools during the COVID-19 pandemic. He spoke in support of repealing such mandates in a March 2022 interview.
I recommend reading the Wikipedia article for yourself. It has some interesting views that have been pushed by him.
I'd never noticed City Journal, but today I was researching which tech companies support 47, and they were one of the hits. Saw some warning signs from the beginning, but I try to be open-minded. About halfway through the bullshit factor made me give up and close the page.
It’s crazy how people made it their entire personality to be against wearing masks. All kinds of insane reasons. Apparently no one could do their job wearing masks…. But now overweight ICEGestapo can double-time waddle down the street in masks no problem breathing or anything?
At this point nobody cares. Those who want the vaccine will take it and those who cultivated an entire identity around being afraid of it will jump up and down screaming "I told you so!" Into the void.
Except these guidelines pressure insurance companies. I wasn’t able to get the Covid booster when I got my flu shot because “your insurance probably won’t cover it because of the new guidelines”
Ah, I didn't realize that. My guess and this is why the anti vaxx bullshit really took off during covid, is that nefarious powers that be want people more reliant on treatments vs vaccines.
Theres more money in getting people sick and seeking treatments. During the pandemic there were a lot of politicians and lawmakers who had stocks in multiple treatments, the biggest being hydroxychloroquile and ivermectin, hence why they were pushed so hard.
I used to wonder where the Great Filter for the human species was. Apparently the answer was “when a major nation elects a reality show host who’s also a rapist”.
Soooo they just want to wipe out the elderly and the immune-compromised? Sigh... cruelty is the point I suppose. This is interesting, because the anti-vaxxers are their supporters. It could mean they don't care about killing their supporters when they'll rig the vote.
That makes a lot of sense... scare the pharmacist to death. As to me, I never see the box the vial came in, so I doubt I'll get a glimpse of this piece of stupidity.
Who needs evidence when you can just pretend things.
One day morons will start shutting up to let smart people do the talking.
Maybe.
I think the next thing we see is them start feaking out in 5 to 10 years when a shit ton of their kids die.
Theyll blame the same people theyre currently villainizing
" how dare they let this happen to my kid. We trusted them!" Even though they literally did the opposite.
They’ll blame it on us “vacccine shedding.”
Oh, that's what's on my floor! I was wondering.....got my last Hep A/B shot, and the current flu and Covid shots on Monday. Guess I need to vacuum.
So weird, in my house it looks like dried up Boston fern leaves!

That big event could be the end of the internet
Nah there was that guy that lost his kid to the measles a few months ago. He then said he was glad she didn’t get vaccinated because another result would have been way worse.
You mean surviving would have been viewed as worse?? These people are psychotic.
The child was a she. The dad said another result would have been worse.
Worse how?? I don't get it?
Was this a pedo talking....who knew he was a pedo?
Taking bets on the next target! How about... I dunno, Anglicans? Episcopalians? Polish? Hungarians?
Or we go retro and Satanic Panic against metal heads, again?
Y2K is back.
Atheists have been trolling the religious with Church of Satan stuff.
Maybe creating an actual Satan worshipping religion, with all the MAGAvangelical BS of hating, tormenting, lying, stealing, raping?
Same shit, different brand.
The next target will likely be atheists and political dissidents. As we are seeing with these new "terrorist" groups they are claiming.

One of the main features of morons is not knowing that they're morons. Another is not knowing when to be quiet and listen to someone else.
Yet prior to Social Media they were fairly indistinguishable from background noise.
When that day comes, there won't be any smart people left
Idiocracy was supposed to happen 5 centuries in the future.
Have you seen Idiocracy?
We have to wait at least 500 years.
Everything is happening much faster, tbh
Not voluntarily they won’t
idk man. they are morons after all
The last 10,000 years say otherwise. 🤣
I disagree. Everyone accepted vaccines ever since they were invented. And they saw they didnt need to plop 12 kids to have 2 surviving adults.
That's not true. For example, there was a lot of resistance to the smallpox vaccine when it was introduced.
Sorry, no.

Morons tend to talk the loudest though. Louder than the smart people.
Doubt it.
RFK jr already said on camera that “they are going to find the proof” in regards to acetaminophen. This is not how science works
Evidence is so 2019...2026 is coming up soon...We can just say stuff with no backing now.
Science!

ICEGestapo can double-time waddle down the street in masks no problem breathing or anything?Thank you for this post. I hope you will post it elsewhere.
Can’t say they’ve ever given me the box to read while going for my shot.
Charlatans Destroying Citizens = CDC now
Stealing this. Thanks.
At this point nobody cares. Those who want the vaccine will take it and those who cultivated an entire identity around being afraid of it will jump up and down screaming "I told you so!" Into the void.
“Our team got into power and told us what we want to hear! We told you so!!1!1”
Madness.
Ugh can’t wait…
It’s the same people who feel vindicated because some states are officially banning chemtrails.
Lmao How?
All flights are banned when the upper atmosphere is cold, but there will be exceptions made for the elongated muskrat.
🤣 Dear lord. Republicans are so fucking useless my god

Any bets on whether these will be available at all next year?
probably. don't forget: trump and pals get their shots, so they'll be available in some form.
they'll just do things like this to discourage everyone else from getting them for ... reasons.
I'm sure killing people with misinformation will turn out well for them THIS time!
" better use this new trump vaccine instead, contains the same ingredients but with a 96% patriot markup and a cool flag decal"
And the rest of the world should put their most serious warning on travel to the US.
Got Flu block and Covid vaccine yesterday
Flu block because I’m also in a clinical trial for a “universal” flu vaccine
I may be part of the control group—no side effects
Whereas yesterday’s Flu Block and Covid update left my left arm sore, and I suffered mild flu like symptoms— and fell into a coma nap
Whatever, I should be well armed against both flu and Covid
Still wearing a mask in public anyway
This is...weird. Like, Republican theater weird. PATIENTS DON'T SEE THE BOXES. We get jabbed; all we see is the syringe and the band-aid.
Nurgle likes this
Then I guess we’ll just see more unvaccinated deaths. Yawn.
FDA's new Feels-based regulatory system...
Soooo they just want to wipe out the elderly and the immune-compromised? Sigh... cruelty is the point I suppose. This is interesting, because the anti-vaxxers are their supporters. It could mean they don't care about killing their supporters when they'll rig the vote.
The warning will just say "this vaccine will prolong your life in this dystopian nightmare"
This is what happens when you put an unqualified, anti-vax nut job. In charge of the nations health department.
Well, Donald. Are we winning yet?
The timeline in Idiocracy was better than this.
jesus christ
I intend to ignore the majority of, if not all, health warnings coming from this administration.
People with non Fox brains will ignore the warnings because we know they work. I’m going with what the rest of the world says.
At some point the stupid HAS to stop right? … right?
Nope. The best the human race ever gets is a slight reduction for a century or two and then it starts all over again.
Way to make me get them even harder, FDA. The worse you say it is, the more I'm getting it.
That makes a lot of sense... scare the pharmacist to death. As to me, I never see the box the vial came in, so I doubt I'll get a glimpse of this piece of stupidity.
