covid will cull the U.S black population if we don't take it seriously and get vaccinated.

@Cat piss martini how's that chicken

Did the video mention if the mother is vaccinated?

 

[African Peasant]

Can we have a "take the vaccine or die like this guy" megathread?

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

these dumbass antivaxxers getting DROPPED, boy.

My older brother and my uncle are antivaxxers too.

I've been bracing myself for that call.

Did the video mention if the mother is vaccinated?

probably is, if she tried getting her daughter to get the vaccine and encouraging others now too.

All the overweight people are getting hit hard

If you're visibly 50 to 75 pounds overweight but you havent been to the doctor in 5 years, that doesnt mean you don't have any medical problems
Its been 18 months, with minimal effort everyone could have lost at least 30 pounds

cause I know my God is faithful. My God will put my child through, she will come out of the hospital.”

or maybe God provided the solution via the Vaccine and it was ignored.

 

[bnew]

people keep underestimating this virus.

 

[Rain]

The whole "I don't know what's in it" argument is stupid as fukk. Same people eating chicken nuggets and washing it down with a shocking electric mountain dew.

Yea b-b-but the long term effects

I can't imagine being in my 20s, laid up, and knowing I'm about to lose the only life I have over some internet conspiracy bullshyt.

2 things:
First I don't think the ICU numbers reported are rigged because even numbers out of red states like Alabama and Mississippi show the exact same trends concerning unvaccinated/vaccinated people that blue states show

Second it wasn't Big Pharma or "Elites" (whatever that means) that made me go get the vaccine. I could have gotten my first shot in February, but I waited until the second half of June. You know why? I first wanted to monitor the situation, especially since both Pfizer and Moderna were new vaccines with very short developement time. But eventually a 6 months sample convinced me to get vaccinated.

By the way I agree that you shouldn't be forced to get vaccinated. To me it is like fat people. For all I care you can be orbese if you like to. But I think it is less risky for your health on average if you have a regular weight.

This also goes to show how uninformed that anti-vaxxers are. Their pea sized brains keep telling them that the vaccine is a rushed mess. However, they are wrong. The US Government had been working on COVID vaccine for years.

Scientists were close to a coronavirus vaccine years ago. Then the money dried up.

For Billion-Dollar COVID Vaccines, Basic Government-Funded Science Laid the Groundwork

Now the question that the conspiracy nuts should be asking is "why was the US Government working on that vaccine for years if COVID is supposedly a novel virus?"

The next question should be how did scientist know almost immediately "where the virus was released and who released it?"

"Why do some scientist insist that COVID is man made?"

"Could that explain why the US scientist had already been doing groundwork on the vaccine?"

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

If you aren't taking the vaccine, ok.


But if you aren't social distancing and wearing a mask under those conditions you are a fool

No, breh. You gotta do both - get vaccinated AND wear a mask and social distance.

You gotta protect yourself through all measures and preventions, not just one or two of them.
