According to this Canadian study, anti-vaxxers drive like fools as well.

COVID Vaccine Refusers Have 72 Percent Higher Risk of a Serious Traffic Crash, Study Shows

“We theorized that individual adults who tend to resist public health recommendations might also neglect basic road safety guidelines,” the authors stated.

The birds are a load of bollocks!

 

[PR1Berske]

The guy who started "Birds Aren't Real" did a good job of turning up to pro-Trump/pro-QAnon etc rallies to puncture them with his own brand of placard waving nonsense. He soon created a (relatively) harmless counter point to extremists by spoiling their fun whenever he and his followers could.

He also "puked" a cup of milk pretending it was vomit while skewering a live TV interview. It's in the grand tradition of holding up a mirror to this sort of thing.

Some particular UK anti-vax voices are quite active again in recent days, perhaps as a consequence of Musks shitty stewardship of twitter (and we know Musk previously said some awful, dangerous, self-interested shit about the pandemic).

For example:





I havent looked into the DFPUK group that Young has been quacking on about. Maybe it stands for Doctors For Pandemic Unlimited Killing.

there is the co-chair from Hart and also the UKMFA director on their press release video, I suspect this was formed after the "congress" in London in September, usual suspects mostly, no "about us/who we are" on the website but a disclaime that the site is for "educationnal purposes", also some video reposts of Malhotra, john campbell and a ron johnson rumble channel video...

Anti-Vax MAGA Republicans Try To Link Damar Hamlin’s Injury To His ‘Vaccine Status’

Right-wing anti-vaxxers took to Twitter to try to blame Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin's scary injury on his "vaccine status."

Thought by some to be a freak accident - wasn't at least one cricket player killed by a blow to the temple ?

Anti-vaxxers are, of course, blaming the deaths of Jeff Beck, Lisa Marie Presley, etc. on COVID vaccines - since their apocalyptic predictions have failed to come true, they're trying to make up the numbers by declaring every death a vaccine-related death.

I see Danny Rampling describes himself as a human rights activist now.

He’s now supporting fascists:


In hindsight, there were signs all along:

Yes, this does seem to have become a bit of a thing with some of them recently - maybe using Latin makes them feel more authoritative?

....they are parroting the godfather of anti-vax dr robert malone who has been unbanned from twitter.

I don't know about a blow to the temple - players wear helmets these days although it definitely could have happened in the past. The only high profile cricket death I can think of in the last few years was Phil Hughes, who was hit on the neck which iirc ruptured an artery. That could definitely be called something of a freak accident I think, the expert view was that if it had hit him almost anywhere else even a tiny distance away he'd have been fine.

I have the misfortune to know a typical antivaxxer who is now extending his hobby to Ukraine war denial, anti-cashless payment campaigning and hanging about on a roundabout in Stockport with 'We Told You So' placards. Every time anyone famous and young-ish dies, he says it's down to the vaccine.

 

[BigMoaner]

ah this thread brings back memories. i still get startled sometimes about how arrogant and vain their position is. hang on, Keith, you've literally out thought and out researched Cambridge and Harvard on the subject of vacinnes?

It just blows my mind, the hubris. Especially when playing with people's lives.

 

[BigMoaner]

I've seen the "we told you so" memes/signs. Like they are trying one up thin air, because the people the signs are directed at have, eh, moved on in the main from covid. seems like some people haven't though. Like they are holding imaginary counter protests and the people they are countering aren't even there any more.

the anti vax response to covid definitely was some of the weirdest, most deranged culture war shit i have seen in my life time.

 

[Joe Chi Min]

I just met a family from the Netherlands who are traveling the world, Mum is a nurse and an anti-vaxxer. Says she had the jab to travel but would never give it her son (5).

Maybe worth pointing out that they had been in Armenia in a van dodging bombs before flying to Vietnam.

Anyone come across any stuff about Low Traffic Neighborhoods?

I bumped into an old mate before Xmas and he was talking about them. First thing he said was, 'its not a conspiracy it's real you can read about it online '.

I've heard about it twice since and now a video appeared on my YouTube. Right said Fred are involved so it's definitely not a conspiracy

I can see the usual suspects picking it up soon if they haven't already and given it's about freedom of movement for motorists I imagine it'll be something a lot of people might dive into.

 

[PR1Berske]

Yeah, apparently it's all part of the "stay at home" conspiracy they've invented. We have to stay indoors, that's part of a plan. We have to use internet shopping instead of physical currency, that's part of a plan. We have to avoid using our cars, that's a conspiracy.

All nonsense. All twaddle. Unfortunately people believe it.

Think of the size of the WhatsApp group to organize it.

I hadn't heard of that, so a quick google returned this Why do traffic reduction schemes attract so many conspiracy theories? | Peter Walker .

That's just nuts. Trying to create a more livable city is a global conspiracy
If there is a grand conspiracy, it's the people behind creating these conspiracy theories. They are nearly always rightwing and against making people's lives better.
Either that or the kind of people who are susceptible to conspiracy theories are also susceptible to being right-wing.

Said it before in here, I don't think the right have ever been so nutty, so gross, in my life time. I could be wrong of course. From school shooters to Andrew Tate to qanon to covid denial, something's up.

 

[gentlegreen]

So bloody Peterson is involved.
One day there will be papers written on this shite by proper academics ...

Richard Bartholomew has a twitter thread about this bollocks - archived here at threadreaderapp

Full cast of tossers running with it.

"15 minute city", that's the latest wheeze.

Ukraine war denial,

Wrf is that? All the news footage staged as an excuse to put up prices or something?

 

[WouldBe]

Anyone come across any stuff about Low Traffic Neighborhoods?

There's at least one thread on these boards about it that was started some time ago.

 

[pogofish]

Partly that but also because the US/UK are using Ukraine to fight their proxy war against Russia or because Putin is their "hero" for standing-up to the WEF/NWO, who have of course got Ukraine in their pockets.
