The stupidity of the anti-vaxx nutcases

[extra dry]

Well, here's convoy leader Patrick King....



Yeah, he literally says he's concerned about the "depopulation of the Anglo-Saxon race" because "they're the ones with the strongest bloodlines."

But maybe that's not actually him, but some deep fake. Who just happens to share his fascist views.

Just say he is nuts.

There were some white rose ones on Park Row on the way into town, peeled off really easy, no tearing no residue. Like they were never there. They need to invest in shittier sticker paper.

Reminds me I probably need to do a quick patrol around here, just to check if any others have appeared.
After an unpleasant rash of stoopid stickums back before chrimble, I haven't actually seen any this year.
Nor have I seen either of the two anti-vaxxers [that I know personally] for some months.

I know a number of others who can't, for very good medical reasons, get their jabs.
One's had covid [and more or less recovered from it, but still gets over-tired very easily].
The other is still, basically, shielding - recently his heart surgery tally was increased to include a replacement valve on top of bypass / stents [correcting congenital defects rather than purely the penalty for a bad lifestyle].

The convoy members still in Ottawa didn't have a good day Sunday - after the mayor declared a state of emergency, their fuel supply is in trouble, and the Zello walkie-talkie app they use is being trolled to fuck, in some cases by people doing long trolls over several days, which is making them very paranoid.

They are also very much a minority of truckers, and most of the folks involved in this astroturf campaign sponsored by US conservatives aren't even truckers themselves.

Absolute slime

Nice chaps that he's throwing his lot in with:

Arcata, California, March 2020: Investigators with the Del Norte County Sheriff’s Office and Arcata Police Department’s Detective Unit arrested GDL activist Jesse Shenk after he allegedly solicited sex with a decoy 14-year-old.

By "nice chaps" I mean "fucking fascist nonce pieces of shit".

The pedo fascist antivax shitheads have tried to set an apartment building in Ottawa on fire:

Fucking scum. They need to be turfed out of the city before someone gets seriously hurt or even killed.

Starmer rescued by police after he's mobbed by anti-vaxxers yelling Savile slurs

Officers were forced to step in and take the Labour leader to safety as the crowd shouted abuse and false claims about Jimmy Savile

ah well that's it for the next election then: Corbyn antisemite, Starmer paedophile enabler.

There goes any remaining shred of respect Charles Manson had left.

It’s not dog whistle they’re using but a fucking megaphone.

I wonder whether there'll be a report on paedophiles within the Labour party and Starmer will eventually be expelled for saying it's not as bad as the media is making out.

There's barely a Rizla between Savile and "grooming gangs" ...

I dislike Starmer, but this is a really shit thing to happen. Is it just me or has Johnson's self-interested mud-slinging had the effect of whipping up a mob? Are we dropping even the pretence of being a democracy with a loyal opposition now?

 

[two sheds]

Ironic though with his expulsion of left wingers from labour on just about the same amount of evidence

 

[cupid_stunt]

Is it just me or has Johnson's self-interested mud-slinging had the effect of whipping up a mob?

Yes.

Labour MP Chris Bryant said the footage was “appalling”, adding: “People were shouting all sorts at Keir, including “Jimmy Savile”.

“This is what happens when a prime minister descends into the gutter and recycles lies from hard-right conspiracy theorists.

“Political poison has an effect. Johnson has no moral compass.”

In the past few days I've had two antivaxxers wave CBD studies at me online.
The first idiot bizarrely claimed it was injectable CBD - which of course is impossible as it's oily - and it turned out to be pre-print and in-vitro using a lung cell-line ...

Today I was offered a broken link by another pot-head and when I found the study - they haven't actually managed to complete the recruitment yet - let alone produce any results - and it's a topical spray of synthetic CBD

I peeled off the other label and that's all there is ... there is apparently a "street artist" in Bristol called "Rusk", but he usually does it freehand ...
There are some very niche stickers on posts around here ...

I think they have to do some kind of extraction and it has to be from fresh plants. Just skimmed the report but I think the active compounds are precursors.
