My body my choice. I choose to get the Covid shot thank you! Checkmate republicans.

Ah, but the mistake is to think when they say "My body my choice" it implies a universal principle. The fascist mindset doesn't work like that. While we would generalize "My body my choice" to "Each person's body their own choice", a fascist generalizes it to "Each person's body my choice."

Nick Fuentes, the guy who radicalized Charlie Kirk's shooter (that's a hell of a sentence), came out with the brilliant line "your body my choice" 🙄

So parents rights unless the parents' WANT to take the risk anyway? These people make zero sense...

Under 75 here, at risk from Covid death because of heart trouble.

All told, I think I had 7 or 8 covid shots? I dunno, I lost track after they stopped updating the cards.

No illness, no covid, my 5G still sucks.

This year I'm being told I can't get the shot without a prescription, working on that.

Wearing an N95 mask whenever you're indoors around other people is a significant help. I've been doing that nonstop from the beginning.

Just not getting sick is a huge reason to wear the mask.

This lunatic is going to get you all killed. You know that, right?

Most of the sane states are ignoring their recommendations now, but yes, he has already done a lot of damage and will do more.

[–] Luouth@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Unfortunately, more damage than his brain has had too

He's the worst

heroin, steroids and worms is the only thing left in his skull.

[–] Harvey656@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I couldn't find specific numbers but I believe it to be around 5% of the population is over 75. So fucking everyone gets fucked basically.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

citing non existing bullshit

Well then, nothing to do about it, right?
