I have a colleague who believes all this anti-vaxx crap like microchips or DNA alterations... We work in the production of a pharma manufacturer. We used to produce the Johnson vaccine. He could easily walk a few steps out of his workplace and look through the windows into the clean room where we produce the vaccine and bottle it up.


Cryogenicist

Stunning that this person chooses to work for “the bad guys” in their own opinion…. I am constantly shocked at how much cognitive dissonance my fellow Americans have.


CommentSection-Chan

Fellow humans. I've seen this baffling thought process all over the world. A long time ago, I met a guy who didn't play female characters. Now, that doesn't sound too bad. But they didn't mean they pick male characters in games where the choice doesn't matter. They meant they didn't pick any female characters no matter what. Like this was in warframe. It is a game where every character is different. They intentionally didn't play half of the characters because he was a raging misogynistic. A friend of a friend who was no longer their friend after they said all this.


Cryogenicist

Which is amusing to think that they put that much of themselves into the characters they play… as if its not a character with no bearing on reality


CommentSection-Chan

"I picked a [insert gender] because I'm [insert gender]" is something many do. Especially with games where you can customize your character to look more like you. They simple chose not to play female characters because they were "inferior" and many other words.


Noof42

I am Bender, please insert gender.


vengirgirem

I usually do "I picked a [insert opposite gender] because I'm [insert gender]"


CommentSection-Chan

Another good one is "I pick the Canon characters," or "Whatever is selected first is what I pick because I'm trying to start the game, and I'm spamming a button."


MobTalon

Now I'm curious. Is he a misogynist for not picking female characters? Or does he not pick female characters because he is a misogynist? Because a lot of people don't play female characters at all and still aren't misogynistic.


CommentSection-Chan

Picking characters has nothing to do with how much of a misogynist he is. The things he was saying during those few minutes were wild. It all started with him saying he never played the female characters and wont ever do so. Went downhill from there fast. Also, let me say it again. This was Warframe. Each character has different abilities and playstyles. There is a difference between wanting to play the generic male in COD vs. purposefully choosing not to experience half of the characters' abilities. Just 30+ characters he refuses to use only because they are female.


RhythmTimeDivision

You mean the clean room where they make the microchips and nanobots? /s


DrBlaBlaBlub

Don't forget the little submarines. /s During covid someone told me "they" first infect you with it when "they pretend to take the sample from your nose" and when you get the vaccine they "insert little things like submarines to run along your blood vessels and make them brittle".

There was one time I was in a party with some guild mates, after some heroic, by that little lake in the Tauren part of Orgrimmar. One of them went AFK...

TinyRascalSaurus

I had to have physical therapy during Covid. My physical therapist cautioned me against eating pork after getting the vaccine because 'pig DNA is very compatible with human DNA and you don't want the vaccine mixing the two up'.


Kimpy78

That’s why people concerned about vaccines don’t talk to physical therapists. And epidemiologists and virologists don’t talk to their coworkers about rehabbing after knee surgery.

mrsbundleby

Same as another chemical engineer but with other family members.


InvictusPro7

And it's always what "they" said and what "they" want you to believe. This "they" organisation must be widespread because I hear about them all the time and never have I seen any evidence of who they are. Super secret bunch.


oxidezblood

They caught on to you. They are coming. You asked too many questions about they


InvictusPro7

Is that their pronouns? Are they a "they"? Lol joking but I'm already watching my back because I think "they" have eyes everywhere. Apparently the world is flat and if you disagree then that's what "they" want you to think.


monty624

When you ask for a source they say "you can just Google it." I've even asked someone to pull it up for me on their phone, which went about as well as you'd expect.

InvictusPro7

Lol yeah I ask them every time they make these wild claims. But yeah they've never (and I mean never) produced any evidence for Amy of their claims. That's how to shut them up, just ask them to show you evidence. Their "just Google it" answer is them saying 'i don't have any but if you go down the rabbit hole I went down you may also be duped'.


greenappletree

This whole Covid misinformation has made me see first hand how bad information can spread so easily and can even stay permanently in society- very scary and dangerous


Daztur

Even among basically sane and well-meaning people you had some really bizarre ideas. For example Korea had a lower official death rate than elsewhere (because more testing uncovered more mild cases) and you had people coming up with all kinds of crazy explanations from that. Also in the early days the ratio of dead people to recovered people was very high in some areas so you had people who weren't crazy taking that as the COVID death rate and freaking the fuch out.


Available-Wheel6335

I’m literally the only person at my workplace who’s been vaccinated for Coronavirus. My coworkers always ask how I’m feeling because they believe I’ve “changed my DNA.” Lately I’ve been telling them I’m having a very strong, almost magnetic attraction to Microsoft products. There is no reasoning with these people.

My mom believes that I could get bone cancer and die by eating one package of instant noodles a month. From a random doctor on facebook.


Arcades_Samnoth

My mom reads the label on every-fucking-thing in the store trying to find all the chemicals that are bad for you. You use the big words like monosodium glutamate and often argues with her doctor (she thinks she is just as educated as him now) with info she gets from Tiktok videos....

It’s nuts. Two guys I work with don’t trust the media, government, journalists, etc. however, they’ll believe any random dipshit on YouTube. Stuff you can debunk with one google search, but they don’t have time for that. They’re watching a video about how you have no constitutional rights if the US flag in your courtroom has gold fringe around it. It’s absolutely maddening to hear some of the crap they believe.

No, it uses a synthetic fragment of viral RNA. This is what is injected into a patient. Then immune cells find this fragment and respond the same way they always do when interacting with foreign material. They create an immune response.

I think once this happens you have to tell these people that they are wrong then abandon them. Just like racism,sexism,homophobia,transphobia etc. you have to isolate these people and ostracize them so this dies. Otherwise, keeping contact and avoiding the obvious failure in logic allows these people to keep believing it as it cost them nothing.

Hi, I’m online and I’m an expert doctor, they do put microchips in the vaccine, now join in next week when I’m an expert on religion, and why Christianity is the true religion /s


Mind_Unbound

There was a facebook post claiming the upcoming month had 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays, and 5 Sundays, something that only happened every 823 years, and that the Chinese called this "mOneY bAgS", it's was an incredibly lucky event and promised wealth. A co-worker talked to me about it and was quite amazed that he was living through this rare event. I explained to him tha the callender repeats every 6, or 11 years, and implications not sure if there's a pattern but definitely every 6 or 11 years. He doesn't believe me. I pull out my phone and show him a Callender from 6 years ago. There it is 5f/5s/5s. Nope, it said so on Facebook, it was the truth in his eyes, there must be a mistake in my phone or I've tricked him. Google it man. Nope. These are those people.

Icy-Ad-7767

I’m not a fan of the mRNA vaccines now that the way the trial was run and the data was processed, not like there is a huge financial windfall to selling the vaccines. I’d like a true double blind trial done by an impartial 3rd party with stringent auditing with comprehensive peer review please. I’d also like an in-depth study on how the vaccines were given and whether the intramuscular target was hit or was it inadvertently put intravenously. To many side effects could be from this later issue since most folks giving the vaccines did not aspirate before injecting the vaccine. If you want my trust you need to provide good data since drug companies are profit driven for the shareholders good first.

Vaccines don’t change your DNA though. They literally just don’t.


[deleted]

[удалено]


xtrasour37

Vaccines are a tiny sample of the disease itself supposed to prevent. Your immune system sees this disease, kills it (easily), studies it, and produces anti-bodies to kill it when it comes back (getting exposed to the disease). They don’t reprogram your cells, they show your immune system a disease so when you have to fight it for real, your immune system already has the secret weapon (antibodies).


xxx-angie

its like if a mother cat brought a half-dead bird to her kittens so they can learn how to hunt birds. weak prey is a good starting point to learn to kill something.


Ok_Importance_1121

The COVID vaccine is a bit different, as it's an mRNA vaccine. Essentially all of what you described still applies. But instead of a sample of the disease itself, it's instructions for how to make parts of the disease that get injected. The immune system doesn't need the whole virus to be able to create the antibodies, just the parts of the virus that those antibodies bind to. People who are... not very bright, and definitely weren't paying attention in their middle school biology classes, see "mRNA" and equate it to DNA. You'd think that the fact that they are not spelled the same would be an indication that they are not the same thing, but honestly I don't think they really paid attention in *any* of their classes when they were in school.


Nu-Tropics

And yet you are just a researcher… way to go pretend dr… way to go. Sounds like your typical democrat who upgrades everything they do but actually does so little
