Antivax but do random shrooms/lsd/blow from strangers and buy their weed illegally

[–] Prior_Industry@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

ITS ALL NATURAL!!

[–] dil@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day ago

but we dont know whats in those vaccines lol

[–] Longmactoppedup@aussie.zone 44 points 1 day ago (2 children)

They really came out of the wood work when the covid vaccines were released. Friends and acquaintances who were there munching down e's of unknown origin back in early 2000s suddenly had a different stance about putting something "unknown" in them.

Pre pandemic i know one real life antivaxxer. Vut even then, kinda not really, he did vaccinate his kids, but he didn't like that he was forced too for school. Some real "don't tell me what to do, because i was gonna do it anyway" energy. To me antivaxxers were just the butt of online jokes.

Post pandemic, i could name so many antivaxxers, it's insane. And they all have the dumbest takes imaginable. And they always try to convince you, but i never thought for a second that this person might be onto something. The last guy who talked to me about it was a friend of my dad. I know him for a ling time, but not well at all. He said that the pandemic was all planned, but not enough people died, so they have another one coming, and that's why he's not getting vaccinated. Wait, the government tries to kill people, it didn't work as well as they thought, but they also try to vaccinate people so they don't die? Why do they try to kill people? And his aswer was basically: "many people believe that." Motherfucker, i know you, you hang out with 5 people who are 60 to 70 years old and they are all reclusive alcoholics. It doesn't really matter what they believe.

[–] Soapbox@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

Most of the people I know who went antivax during covid are very specifically antivax about the covid vax only. They are afraid of the mRNA tech, they think it's going to modify their genes or some BS. It really is political BS though. During the pandemic, the right wing decided to make this an issue, and they stick with it.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 9 points 1 day ago

and then started following RFK JR, J ROGAN, J PETERSON and lastly trump. i knew a family member that sort of did this. he was literally scoffing at the vaccine a few months ago.

My favorite hypocrite is Jenny McCarthy who obviously has never met a cosmetic injectable she doesn't like but was one of the foremost anti-vax idiots out there.

Botulism toxin injected directly into my face - 🌞🎶😁👄👅

A vaccine preventing measles mumps and rubella - 😵‍💫☠️💀❤️‍🩹👎

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Botox is actually super helpful for a number of legitimate medical reasons, which a lot of people don't know. Migraines, limb contractures, anal fissures as a few examples.m

I hope Jenny McCarthy stubs her toe.

Yeah, but botulism is all natural.

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Only all natural 100% organic toxins injected into my face! 😤

JK, I'll also take any variety of filler you got to keep my face from caving in on itself.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Through an improbable and insane series of events, the only facial filler I have right now is 250CCs of weasel cum. I can discount the service or reschedule you when another filler is available.

Yeah, the only two antivaxxers I know (more did know) have fried their brains to mush with drugs so them believing that shit isn't surprising. I did lots of drugs in my 20s and knew a lot of people who did even more than me, and the two people who were always the "worst" with their use are the only ones I am aware of who are antivaxxers (In Sweden, it's not common here at all). They'd lick a literally turd if they saw someone sprinkle some unknown powder on it just for the chance of it making them high in any way, but they would fight to their death if anyone tried to vaccinate them specifically only with a covid vaccine.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

brain damage from drugs, strokes and other injuries or disease is known to turn people into a looney right winger or a conspiracy nut. fetterman, sorbo, jim cavaziel is a good example of stroke to alt-right, they were shitty people before, but stroke just disinhibit thier "closetness"

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 2 points 1 day ago

I know a guy who did, still does and deals with every drug imaginable. Really nice guy, honestly. But he refused to get vaccinated, he bought a fake covid certificate or some shit for like 1000 bucks or whatever, because he didn't want that unknown substance in his body

[–] dethedrus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's my granddaughter.

Fully vaxxed EXCEPT for covid. Calls the first (of many) times she caught as 'when I almost died'. She's currently injecting one of the fun crop of weight loss drugs without a second thought because there aren't any TikTok influencers who are telling her it's dangerous.

Ozempic hospitalized my ex for 12 days and he's now in a class action lawsuit against the makers because it's a known side effect that wasn't warned against. It's not something to play with at all.

[–] TheBloodFarts@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What's the side effect if you don't mind sharing?

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 26 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Not at all. He's diabetic; Ozempic basically caused his gastric muscles to stop working, which is called gastroparesis. He began vomiting and having diarrhea over a period of days, and became unable to take his diabetic meds because he couldn't keep anything down. I came home and found him basically comatose, and he was in a state called euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis, which is a new thing with all the Ozempic type drugs, where your sugars aren't all that high but the severity of your condition is masked by the Ozempic, and you end up overproducing ketones in your blood because your sugar is out of control. The ketosis part reversed quickly with IV insulin, but the gastroparesis and associated esophagitis from all the vomiting meant he had to stay in hospital for quite some time. He has permanent damage to his gastric system. The makers of the drug didn't disclose this and it's turned up in several others; my GP friend had two patients with the same situation. So they're all in a lawsuit, and I'm super leery of these drugs.

Much obliged. Thank you.

Fat phobia has killed so many and messed up so much research imo. We need fats and fat soluble vitamins, but in the right proportions to each other. I understand Ozempic is ostensibly for diabetes (and obv idk anything about your husband or his weight or why he took it, not assuming he has fat phobia himself), but rapid weight loss like that means people are likely going without adequate vitamins for quite some time, causing the body to eat its own tissues like bones, bone marrow, muscle, liver, and so on, to carry on the most important tasks for life.

Gastroparesis is often associated with vitamin d, b12, iron, and magnesium deficiencies. Fat soluble vitamins have a ton of downstream effects on other vitamins and each other, and many actually help with diabetes.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34440929/

https://nutritionj.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12937-023-00840-1

https://diabetes.org/food-nutrition/diabetes-vitamins-supplements/low-vitamin-d-insulin-resistance

They are not putting the Ozempic patients on vitamin therapy or even monitoring fat soluble vitamins afaik. BTW, the pancreas helps with processing fat soluble vitamins by making lipase, not just glucose/insulin. So anything that affects the pancreas, which Ozempic does, has the potential to affect fat soluble vitamins as well which have a LOT of downstream effects that have been catalogued for decades but doctors just kinda ignore??? Due to fat phobia.

I don't blame you for suing, they are selling you malnutrition in a pill because they hate fat cells

His GP was honestly just trying to get his diabetes under control, and had no reason to think this would happen. He's not obese in the slightest and has never been more than 5 pounds overweight, he just has bad genetics for it. I just think that it's been marketed so heavily it seems to be a go to and we're just starting to really see what it does.

I ask antivaxers I know if they ever turned down a medicine prescribed by their doctor other than the one the media told them to fear?

[–] Samskara@sh.itjust.works 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Few people are consistent in their worldview and actions.

Had a crunchy hippie lecture me about the danger of the covid vaccine, because you don't know what's in it. This was at a house party during covid, where she smoked cigarettes, snorted ketamine, MDMA, and mephedrone.

They're terrified of a (usually) dead virus/other bug in a tiny vial but will do ozempic, massive doses of ivermectin and god knows what else lol

When scientists warned that milk could be contaminated with bird flu and pasteurized milk was safe, they started drinking raw milk en masse. There is no logic for them.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

And then, a few of the less dense ones realized that raw milk was dangerous and they could reduce the risk by... boiling it.

But they won't drink pastuerized milk.

Oppositional defiant disorder. Very well understood, researched heavily especially in young children.

¿Por qué no los dos?

I'll take every vaccine I can get. Hell, I would sign up for the smallpox vaccine if I could get it, even though that disease hasn't existed in the wild in decades. I want every covid booster. I want it all! Jab me up, give me that sweet MRNA!

And I'll take the other stuff too. I love me a good edible. I'm on tirzepatide myself, even though insurance doesn't cover it. How do I afford it? Simple! I pirate the hell out of it!

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (14 children)

I just got prescriptions from my GP for the pneumococcal and RSV vaccines because it turns out that I qualify. Anything I can get vaccinated for I do, because fuck antivaxxers.

I know someone who is a 60 year old smoker who went and lied to public health that she was a sex worker to get the MPOX vaccine, which makes me laugh, but i wouldn't mind it myself because you can get it touching surfaces.

Just goes to show you how it’s not a rational decision driven by evidence and consideration like they reflexively say, it’s just reactionary nonsense spread by traitors. I will never forgive traitors for what they have done to dismantle society in the modern age.
