Asked him if the book was the bible, and he had no idea what book I was talking about.

Personally, I think Paulie Walnuts would be antivaxx, spouting some shit about not letting anyone try and prick him. But agree that he wouldn't have left the house since March 2020 and wouldn't have touched another human being since then either. He would also have gone through millions of litres of hand sanitiser.

This definitely fills a need. I've twice had to go for mine in short sleeves when it was far too cold for them.

Unclear if the fat guy is sitting next to a shop counter or having a shit behind a mini-skip.

Must be having a shit behind a counter. I don't think they had mini skips then.

Never seen Everett True before but he's clearly needed now more than ever.



He also didn't have any time for racists:

It's true, I can't think of the last time I saw a modern cartoon about someone having a shit behind a mini-skip.

Never seen Everett True before but he's clearly needed now more than ever.

He didn't fuck around:

Anti-vaxxers have targeted scores of schools and recently stormed a Covid testing site. They were led by Britain’s most visible activist, Piers Corbyn, who subsequently urged people to burn down the offices of MPs who backed new restrictions.

Health experts warn that their false claims have had an impact on the vaccination programme, with Chris Whitty, England’s chief medical officer, blaming “misinformation” for vaccine hesitancy.

Among the government organisations now mobilised to monitor the anti-vaxx movement are the Home Office’s office for security and counter-terrorism (OSCT) and its research, information and communications unit (Ricu) which covers public safety issues, including counter-terrorism.

Also tasked with documenting the anti-vaxx threat is the Home Office’s counter-extremism analysis and insight (CEAI) programme, whose work informs strategic and operational decisions, as does its extremism analysis unit (EAU), and the counter-disinformation unit, which is part of the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.

Latest intelligence assessments describe the anti-vaxxer movement as ostensibly a conveyor belt, delivering fresh recruits to extremist groups, including racially and ethnically motivated violent extremist organisations.

“It’s a growing concern and it is being monitored at the highest level,” said the Whitehall source. “No 10 is among those getting the reports direct: the PM is seeing them in his inbox. The consensus is that we didn’t win [the disinformation war] as cleanly as we need to do next time.”

Of chief concern is that Britain’s anti-vaxx conspiracists are moving offline, with the UK-based Alpha Men Assemble (AMA) group organising military-style training in preparation for what it has termed a “war” on the government and its Covid policies.

Recent posts from the AMA’s official Telegram channel, which has 7,000 subscribers, encourage members to adopt anti-surveillance techniques by using “burner phones” and advise people to “communicate off line” with CB and ham radios.

Everyone’s still so scared of COVID. But come on, people. It’s going to be endemic soon enough. And that has to mean, uh, something.

Endemic means freedom, more or less. Sometimes more, but occasionally less. They say less is more, and that’ll be the case here. Except when more’s less

Endemic means no more shots. Okay, well, not no more. But like on a regular schedule, when your doctor tells you. It won’t be every few months; it’ll be, at most, three or four times a year (five in a leap year).

COVID Will Eventually Be Endemic, and I Absolutely Know What That Word Means
