(cw: death, covid)

Sorry if this is bleak, but I felt like talking about it. So I've got a large extended family. A lot of tinfoil hat Qanon type members are dropping like flies. They don't believe covid is real to the very moment they're dying of it. They're deeply certain even as people they've known their whole lives are dying all around them. A good 10% of my extended family has died of covid, a few others have gotten it and have permanent complications now. More than one has ended up in the ER with an overdose of the horse paste.

Any of y'all experiencing the same? What are you doing about it?

    Both of my parents, mom is an evangelical Christian, dad is into woo woo shit and seems to have fully devolved into a conspiracy theorist (not the cool kind).

    Idk, it's hard, but I don't think about it much, mostly just want to get my son vaccinated, waiting on that early childhood approval.

    EDIT: Oh lol, also like almost the entirety of my maternal family at least all my aunts and uncles, because most of them are insane Qanon people. I don't give a shit about most of them, because they're mostly disgusting bigots.
