    this is why the whole "antivaxxers should just be killed" line liberals have ended up at makes me so angry. poor moral decisions is not how we ended up at this mess.the unvaxxed don't deserve death for systemic causes beyond their control and they sure af are not responsible for the pandemic being in this state in the first place! we could have locked down and paid people to stay home. we could have vaccinated the world. but instead we did little and allowed the virus to mutate resistance to our vaccines! but yes, blame the people taken in by grifters - obviously they deserve to die.

      liberals cite reeducation camps as evidence of the awful brutality of communist countries, but then they turn around and demand mass death for people who believe the wrong thing

      Sinclair bought out my local news (which was decent before) and turned it into a mouthpiece for small-business chuds to bitch about the homeless. Fuck Sinclair.

        Both POTS (dizziness when changing posture) and tinnitus (ringing ears) are things almost everyone will experience once in a while, which makes self reporting it a terrible measure.

        It's when they are chronic that it becomes a serious problem, as they can be very severe chronic illnesses. Severe POTS can make an otherwise healthy person practically bedridden as they will faint, or come close to fainting, every time that they get out of bed, or stand up after sitting.

          one time i had abnormal amounts of lightheadedness after posture change over a long period of time and the cause was i drank nothing but soda. I'm much more healthy with my consumption now, but like, knowing americans, ESPECIALLY chuds :side-eye-1: :side-eye-2:

            Yeah it's not something you can self report. POTS diagnosis requires an increase in the heart rate by over 30bpm within a period of 10 minutes after standing up, without a significant drop in blood pressure. Usually done using a tilt table test.

            Unless you have a blood pressure and heart rate arm cuff montior, and know how to use it properly without getting junk data, it's not something you can self diagnose or report.

            I know all this because I actually had to diagnose myself to get taken seriously by doctors. Until I showed them video and photos of the test I did with the arm cuff they didn't take it seriously. Then they actually took it seriously and referred me to a cardiologist so I could get a proper diagnosis done.

            If someone got POTS from the vaccine that obviously sucks but your chances of getting POTS from covid 19 itself are much, much higher, and you can't self report that you have pots because you felt dizzy while getting up once after the vaccine. Because many things can cause that, like orthostatic hypotension for example.

            Even worse, because Fainting goat happens when the goat gets startled, severe POTS symptoms happen every time you stand up.

    some of the symptoms legit just sound like she has an overreactive immune system or an allergy. i get some of these symptoms when a certain weed blooms (usually happens late fall or early winter). my sinuses get all puffy and constrict a nerve causing sharp, electric feeling and acheing pains down to my teeth, across my forehead, and down my neck. before i figured out it was an allergy id go to the dentist all the time thinking i fucked something up.

    sometimes these headaches i could even feel in my fingers. one tip for me needing to take an allergy medication is my pinky finger would just randomly go numb, signaling that i was gonna get fucked up with a reaction soon. i'd also get very dizzy and start slurring my speech. i also get muscle twitches and some of the other things they describe. sometimes get big scary static veins in my vision, making me functionally blind. laying down in a quiet place, drinking gatorade, taking pain meds, and chilling is how i get over it each time

    so this bitch is probably just having allergy problems and making it into an anti-vaccine tirade. hell, maybe theyre allergic to something weird in the vaccine.

        yeah agreed. my migraines are really similar and the vaccine definitely set them off in a nasty way. I suspect covid itself does as well, given that I had nearly 2 months of daily migraines like this after a possible exposure - the vaccine wasn't quite as bad, just a week and a half of migraines after each shot.

    I was watching a Sinclair channel and they had a segment on how the "Amish" (but seemed to be Mennonites, since Amish people don't go on TV right?) decided to do absolutely nothing about the pandemic and live their lives because idk freedom.

    They didn't mention that they tended not to go to hospital or officially report deaths, and I looked it up and found an estimate from obituaries that 2.5 times more Mennonites were dying during covid. Also none of them interviewed wanted vaccination.

    This report just completely ignored it, implying that covid wasn't a big deal at all and I guess was made up? I'd understand being confused and annoyed at any restriction or push for vaccination if you based your worldview on this channel.

      antivax stories are popular, because insane people who spend all their time online (no not us, the other ones) will FB message them to their friends and family to prove how right they are about fauci being a satan worshiping pedocrat.

      media consumers have the freedom to shop from a wide selections of realities, and the market for this one is underserved by major news orgs. these consumers might imagine that they see through the lies of the "mainstream media," but if CNN started running stories about how joe brandon is chinese and he made the virus in his gothic castle in china, they'd share that too.

      If they can become trusted by antivaxxers then the antivaxxers will believe whatever bullshit they report in future.

    Yeah, I'm sure Ron Johnson of all people doesn't have any ulterior motive for pushing this.
