I thought the woman handing me this was going to ask for help reaching something, but she was handing this out to everyone.
Have they been subject to medium to long term safety testing on humans?
Yes. For over two years now. Using a population of hundreds of millions of people and a control population of people who xerox misinformation and hand it out to strangers in grocery stores.
News flash: the vaccinated ones are doing way better.
As an addendum, the idea that a vaccine can produce side effects years down the line is a myth. A vaccine is a one-time payload - if any side effects are going to crop up, they will inevitably be in the few weeks following vaccination as your body processes it. After that, of nothing goes away, you’re good.
My 5G mobile coverage improves about 7 days after my annual shot.
I figure by 2027 I can ditch my home router.
As an addendum addendum, I have some news for people worried about long-term effects of encountering only the spike proteins: you’re really going to hate the long-term effects from taking that virus raw.
Using a population of hundreds of millions billions
Billions of people were vaccinated. Hardly anything happened.
I remember being told everyone vaccinated would be dead within six months.
It’s been a very long six months.
Similarly, I don’t hear climate change deniers talking about the solar cycle anymore…
Did billions of people end up getting the mRNA vaccine? I thought the traditional vaccine was more widely deployed outside the United States.
In any case, the objection is nonsense. On populations this large, the number of side effects was slightly less than might have been expected at the outset. The researchers did good work.
Or, y'know, literal decades by medical professionals
For vaccines in general, yes. But kooky people that think this is some kind of trick are worried about it being an mRNA vaccine, which is indeed somewhat new. The idea has been around for about fifty years, but the first human clinical trials were only about a decade ago and COVID was the first large-scale human deployment.
Now, in fairness, they were almost entirely ready at the time. I would imagine, without COVID, we probably would’ve still seen mRNA vaccines become mainstream already, though maybe last year or this year instead of in 2021. But COVID stepped up the final stages of approval significantly.
Funny how surgeons don’t seem to have the problems this flyer describes.
And I better not open this person’s closet and find a single scarf.
How anyone can still believe this shit just confounds me.
Not funny once you realize all doctors are actually lizard people in human skin suits performing experiments on us. QED sucker!
House painters don’t have the problems this flyer describes.
I have a dead uncle because of these nonsense theories he refused to wear a mask, social distance etc. The inevitable happened and he passed from covid within a week. All because of anonymous people on Facebook who I will never meet, and will never suffer the consequences of their actions. Makes me so angry
A friends mom was snowboarding with her grandkids the year before covid. His sister, a pharmacist btw, warned their mom off the vaccine. She caught covid and died.
Tens, no likely hundreds of thousands of people likely died due to misinformation and fear mongering.
Now measles might be making a comeback as well.
It’s feel so rare reading all those stories on internet, while my family is crazy alt-right that eat all the communist conspiracies on the internet, except the ones referencing vaccines or climate change. Like every newborn baby on the family is “quarantined” until all vaccines are on (at least the ones from the first 6 months) so everyone’s following the vaccine calendar to mark when the baby’s is going to meet the rest of the family.
My friend died before he was able to get a vaccine dose. He was young and fit and healthy, enough so that his death was covered in a local newspaper. He’d have probably have gotten his first vaccine dose if we’d caught COVID a couple weeks later, and that might have been enough to save him. I’ll never know, and maybe he’d have still died, but I’ll always resent people who have/had the choice to be vaccinated but choose not to.
Some people have too much free time and too few brain cells.
All that mask wearing in their youth killed those cells.
And too many QR codes
And not enough access to credible sources
No, they’ve got plenty of access. They just don’t want to be exposed to anything that challenges their indoctrination.
Or rather too much access to too many non-credible sources.
Meaning, we need to remove shit like Twitter from the net already.
I’m high risk as I’m immunosuppressed. I’ve had 8 vaccines, shielded for well over a year and always wore a mask. I finally caught COVID last week. There’s not a doubt in my mind that I would have died already if I hadn’t been vaccinated. My oxygen saturation levels just keep dropping - 90% today. I’m going to have to go to hospital ☹️
Best of luck, get well soon
Must be devastating, take care, friend.
I’m so sorry to hear it! I’m rooting for you and I know lots of other people are too!
I’d be more annoyed that this person couldn’t even bother me with a more up to date conspiracy.
Right? They’re still triggered about masks?
Masks trap CO2 and other gases, impeding the breathing process and killing you slowly
…apparently at least 3 years slow, we’ll check back in with Cletus and his sisters(?) next spring.
Yeah, don’t accept trash from strangers.
This is far more than mildly infuriating, this is actively putting peoples lives at risk, it's enraging and quite scary, and why disabled and other vulnerable people are continuing to be more isolated than ever.
Fuck this person and the bullshit they spread. I rarely leave the house, but if I did and someone handed me something like this I'd grab the whole pile and set it on fire, casually roll over their feet with my wheelchair on my way, too.
I’ve had it twice now and don’t mind getting close, otherwise agreed on all counts. Let’s hide the accelerant fairy juice under your chair, you can be getaway driver with clean hands. Tell me you have a rad van with wheel controls
Alas, no van, but plenty of spots to hold lighter fluid and stolen flyers as I roll away lol
Report her to the store for solicitation. Owners hate that, even if they agree with the sentiment. Can’t scare away the customers.
Yeah, Jehovah’s Witnesses know to wait till someone is coming out rather than inside or heading in for this very reason.
very blatantly, right in front of her, wipe your hands with sanitizer and then wipe down the flyer …
“I got the vaccine and nothing bad happen to m-” start convulsing and making gross sounds
When that stupid PSA warning came through that people said would “activate” the vaccine I was in my MAGAt infested office. I fell to the floor and screamed “The vaccine!” as soon as I heard everyone’s phones go off.
I wonder if you could convince one of these people of something even more crazy.
Are there doctors and scientists recommending people NOT to take it?
There are morons in every field. We can’t just look at the outliers.
But they’re the only ones who agree with meeeee!
Why is it in English but funded by some Spanish speaking organization
To make it seem like legitimate. “These other doctors in other countries are speaking out about it, while the establishment in this country is suppressing the “truth””
Yeah, but just based on my own prejudices, the antivax community ain’t a huge fan of the Spanish- speaking community.
Jesus Christ. That’s so much misinformation in just two sheets of paper.
It’s the back and front of a single sheet of paper.
Even more… um… impressive?
Take an obvious picture of her with your phone. Hand out flyers with her face saying avoid this woman .
Not aborted monkeys!!
Bacteria gets a bad rap.
They’re the only culture some people have.
I’m going to go with my gut on this one and say you’re spot on.
I see what you did there 😉
And chemicals.
And GMOs
What did our gut flora do to deserve it?
Jesus - I thought COVID wiped all these twits out already.
That was just COVID-19. Wait until COVID-21 (or whatever) and a larger chunk of groomed idiocy will disappear
We really do need to just upgrade the version number, all these variants of 19 are sounding like bad sequels.
I like how page one says not to wear masks because they are bad put page 2 implies that you must wear a mask because getting the vaccine won’t allow you to not wear masks.
Some Android Phones might need a QR SCANNER app to open these
🤦
Must be made by an old person lol
We clearly need to bring back the big red rubber stamp. Just stamp it “SCAM” and leave it somewhere like a bulletin board. Because if they want to waste their money and paper, we should make it expensive for them. The stamp isn’t expensive really and ink pads are fairly cheap and last a long time.
“Honey, remember we were talking about how catching Covid multiple times makes you stupid?”
I would say some unfiltered shit at any moron that handed me something like this. It would probably be exactly what they want, but I would belittle them with every fiber of my being in the hopes that something sticks and they feel bad. It would make me feel a little better, but I am also a big man child sometimes.
There’s some loon still plastering their ill informed, anti Vax / anti mask stickers on every bit of street furniture across the nearby town centre.
Why can’t they just go back to handing out Chick tracts? At least those were funny.
I mean, that survey on the back isn’t lying, per se, but it’s taking things that are only minorly concerning and stating them in a way that is overblown or more alarming than they deserve.
“The best lies are based in truth”, I suppose.
Still don’t understand why there’s no consequence for actively harming others.
Pretty bad Q&A if everything is already answered
Why did you not hand it back?
Crazy, the legend continues.

Did they just photocopy a flyer that was photocopied by someone else? Because this looks like it was about 15 steps from the original printing. Also, why hand these out now?
herrcaptain@lemmy.ca 4 weeks ago
Sounds about right for these folks. Anytime you see an email like this it’s always FW: FW: FW: FW: FW: FW: the Illuminati KILLED MY DOG with COVID masks!

Reminds me of a line in Futurama:
Fry: Over there a crazy guy used to hand out a socialist newsletter
Bender: Was it poorly Xeroxed?
Fry: Oh, you better believe it!

I once got a full color, too many graphics, tiny writing to fit it all on one full page flyer about how doritos is made with human stem cells. I’ve got it in a file somewhere because it was so weird I couldn’t throw it out. And yes, some of the graphics were of the flavoring fetuses.
