RFK Jr. calls Covid safety protocols “turnkey totalitarianism”
Anne Frank, famous for never being found or caught by Nazis, being used for an anti-vaccine movement comprised of people who would definitely be handing her over to the Nazis
Looking at the twitter thread, the entire thing is unhinged
All it took was a little bookending with far-right supervillains Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates, but this speaker got the antivaxxers to loudly and repeatedly cheer and agree with Louis Farrakhan.
Somebody book time at one of these and figure out a way to crowbar in some theory, for the giggles if nothing else
anyone else have a morbid curiosity about how bad a virus would have to be to get antivaxxers to renounce their views?
"hey man, there's a highly transmissible virus out is guaranteed to make your genitals literally explode but we have this vaccine that is 99.98% effective with no side effects, you in?"
"nah, im pureblood"
A lot of it consisted of the plague being - you guessed it - a Jewish plot.

Wasn't as clear a connection as I had hoped, but yeah... That scans :(
I've asked some of my anti-vax Qanon demented family directly this very question. I'll summarize.
The virus would need something like a 90% fatality rate, would need to spread from person to person instantaneously, and you'd need higher than a 50% chance of getting it. They would also want other forms of mitigation to be ineffective. Masks would have to not work. Then they say they'd get the vaccine. As it currently is, they say the virus either doesn't exist or is exaggerated to make Trump look bad.
A lot of them already have. I've lost nearly two dozen family members to covid between 2019 and now. The survivors except a rare few are still adamantly anti-vax and only getting more insane by the day. It's like a cold stillness is overcoming my family and I'm still waiting to get a call that my parents are going to die, even though they're vaccinated.
I don't expect to have any relatives over the age of 60 this time next year.
There's a hole in the center of everything. Shit's fucked. All we can do is survive long enough to see the end.
so something literally worse than ebola. very cool :doomjak:
I think the virus would need to give boils and highly visible scarring.
Covid literally destroys your sperm and makes your dick shrink because of vascular damage. I doubt anything would get them to change their mind unless it made them black.
I think it needs to make your genitals swell up and explode to get less of them
what a great analogy, you've just won a trip to dallas. It'll blow your mind
Anne Frank literally couldn't hide in an attic. Not that this statement is worthy of a reply.
New bit where anti-vaxxers get kind souls to hide them in a hidden room under a coal scuttle for the next five years
