I thought the woman handing me this was going to ask for help reaching something, but she was handing this out to everyone.

Did they just photocopy a flyer that was photocopied by someone else? Because this looks like it was about 15 steps from the original printing. Also, why hand these out now?

[–] herrcaptain@lemmy.ca 70 points 7 months ago (5 children)

Sounds about right for these folks. Anytime you see an email like this it's always FW: FW: FW: FW: FW: FW: the Illuminati KILLED MY DOG with COVID masks!

Reminds me of a line in Futurama:

Fry: Over there a crazy guy used to hand out a socialist newsletter

Bender: Was it poorly Xeroxed?

Fry: Oh, you better believe it!

Have they been subject to medium to long term safety testing on humans?

Yes. For over two years now. Using a population of hundreds of millions of people and a control population of people who xerox misinformation and hand it out to strangers in grocery stores.

News flash: the vaccinated ones are doing way better.

[–] aleph@lemm.ee 30 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (4 children)

As an addendum, the idea that a vaccine can produce side effects years down the line is a myth. A vaccine is a one-time payload - if any side effects are going to crop up, they will inevitably be in the few weeks following vaccination as your body processes it. After that, if nothing has gone awry, you're good.

My 5G mobile coverage improves about 7 days after my annual shot.

I figure by 2027 I can ditch my home router.

Funny how surgeons don't seem to have the problems this flyer describes.
And I better not open this person's closet and find a single scarf.

How anyone can still believe this shit just confounds me.

[–] zaphod@lemmy.ca 30 points 7 months ago

Not funny once you realize all doctors are actually lizard people in human skin suits performing experiments on us. QED sucker!

I have a dead uncle because of these nonsense theories he refused to wear a mask, social distance etc. The inevitable happened and he passed from covid within a week. All because of anonymous people on Facebook who I will never meet, and will never suffer the consequences of their actions. Makes me so angry

Some people have too much free time and too few brain cells.

[–] DoctorWhookah@sh.itjust.works 23 points 7 months ago

All that mask wearing in their youth killed those cells.

I’m high risk as I’m immunosuppressed. I’ve had 8 vaccines, shielded for well over a year and always wore a mask. I finally caught COVID last week. There’s not a doubt in my mind that I would have died already if I hadn’t been vaccinated. My oxygen saturation levels just keep dropping - 90% today. I’m going to have to go to hospital ☹️

[–] birbs@lemmy.world 24 points 7 months ago

Best of luck, get well soon

I'm so sorry to hear it! I'm rooting for you and I know lots of other people are too!

I’d be more annoyed that this person couldn’t even bother me with a more up to date conspiracy.

Yeah, don’t accept trash from strangers.

[–] DessertStorms@kbin.social 57 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (2 children)

This is far more than mildly infuriating, this is actively putting peoples lives at risk, it's enraging and quite scary, and why disabled and other vulnerable people are continuing to be more isolated than ever.

Fuck this person and the bullshit they spread. I rarely leave the house, but if I did and someone handed me something like this I'd grab the whole pile and set it on fire, casually roll over their feet with my wheelchair on my way, too (E: actually, scratch that, I wouldn't want to get that close to the disease vector, even with my mask on).

Report her to the store for solicitation. Owners hate that, even if they agree with the sentiment. Can't scare away the customers.

[–] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 7 months ago

Yeah, Jehovah's Witnesses know to wait till someone is coming out rather than inside or heading in for this very reason.

[–] cerement@slrpnk.net 49 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

very blatantly, right in front of her, wipe your hands with sanitizer and then wipe down the flyer …

EDIT: “Oh, this isn’t for the virus, y’all just nasty.”

"I got the vaccine and nothing bad happen to m-" start convulsing and making gross sounds while dropping to the ground

"Ahhh! The 5G! It buuuurns!"

Are there doctors and scientists recommending people NOT to take it?

There are morons in every field. We can't just look at the outliers.

Why is it in English but funded by some Spanish speaking organization

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 40 points 7 months ago (2 children)

To make it seem like legitimate. "These other doctors in other countries are speaking out about it, while the establishment in this country is suppressing the "truth""

I like how page 1 says not to wear masks because they are bad put page 2 implies that you must wear a mask because getting the vaccine won’t allow you to not wear masks.

We clearly need to bring back the big red rubber stamp. Just stamp it "SCAM" and leave it somewhere like a bulletin board. Because if they want to waste their money and paper, we should make it expensive for them. The stamp isn't expensive really and ink pads are fairly cheap and last a long time.

“Honey, remember we were talking about how catching Covid multiple times makes you stupid?”

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 16 points 7 months ago

I would say some unfiltered shit at any moron that handed me something like this. It would probably be exactly what they want, but I would belittle them with every fiber of my being in the hopes that something sticks and they feel bad. It would make me feel a little better, but I am also a big man child sometimes.

[–] Raxiel@lemmy.world 16 points 7 months ago

There's some loon still plastering their ill informed, anti Vax / anti mask stickers on every bit of street furniture across the nearby town centre.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 15 points 7 months ago (7 children)

Why can't they just go back to handing out Chick tracts? At least those were funny.
