Discussion: UK anti-vaxx 'freedom' morons, protests and QAnon idiots

Stuck on a packed tube train. Absolutely everyone wearing a mask apart from one special person who quite possibly knows the real truth about everything, like.
 
Used one of my high filter masks & safety googles when doing some gardening a couple of days ago. I was disturbing loads of dust / mold spores etc. No problems after I put them on, prior to that I was sneezing, eyes watering etc [I did go and wash up before masking up, to be clean inside the mask]

Quite a few times I've found myself wearing a mask, just coz I had one handy, for jobs that before I would've done maskless and just tried not to breathe in too much dust/mould/whatever. Wonder whether enough people are doing the same, and will continue to for long enough, for it to have any noticeable effect on rates of respiratory issues.
 
This is really quite special

A conspiracy ripping through the anti-vax world may finally drive some anti-maskers to do the unthinkable: wear a mask and keep their distance.
The conspiracy—which comes in several shapes and sizes—more or less says the vaccinated will “shed” certain proteins onto the unvaccinated who will then suffer adverse effects. The main worry is the “shedding” will cause irregular menstruation, infertility, and miscarriages. The entirely baseless idea is a key cog in a larger conspiracy that COVID-19 was a ploy to depopulate the world, and the vaccine is what will cull the masses.
Experts say the conspiracy is born from a fundamental misunderstanding of how vaccines work. It has been widely debunked and you can read about it here, here, and here, among other places.


 
Was invited to a park meetup with an old Facebook friend (ie acquaintance really...I've not been on Facebook for a long time now) we had a brief chat on WhatsApp and got onto vaccines. Once I said I'd had my first dose she went quiet and went offline and then later messaged saying she can't make it actually. (she invited me?!) Turns out she's been posting anti vax, anti lockdown shit on Facebook for months. So it seems she is more scared of meeting someone vaccinated, than catching covid :D:D:confused::facepalm:

Oh well....no great loss TBF (for me)
So glad to not be on Facebook during this pandemic, I just know it would have soured so many friendships ...and I'd rather keep being civil and polite and not thinking ugh oh, here comes stupid, germy whatsherface.

Some of these folk think they might get harmed by being near vaccinated people:

no red flags from these people beforehand?
 
yep
I see a fair amount of this on facebok:
globalisation is communism
it's a communist plot
I can't get my head to how they get to this, all because of the "great reset" masterplan from all those Davos communists I guess
Emotionally comforting idea of sinister forces that only these clever clogs can see. Good vs evil bullshit that most people leave at the age of about 14.
 
Only thing they have going for them is the "stopped clock is right twice a day". The rest of the belief and noise can be safely consigned to the bin.

The people who say this shit have no fucking idea what communism is. How badly misinformed does one have to be in order to think that billionaires and organisations like the World Economic Forum could ever be sincerely communist?

I know, I can't get my head around how they get there
