It seems that every anti-vaxxer is getting covid and dying.
I'd be surprised if they don't believe that the government is deliberately trying to infect and kill them.

Back in NEO. Pup is on the mend, still has a morning cough and when excited couch. appetite back, energy back. Didn’t like me syringe feeding the fluids first 2 days but flushing that shit out and thinning respiratory secretions very very important.
While I was there, my friend called, her vaxxed boyfriend has a swollen ball. Nikki is onto something……..

Strange article. What is the point? Is this cheaper for the poor nations? I would guess it must be.
The article kind of started off by framing it like it was some advance next weapon against the virus, then pointed out how it was similar to J&J in that it took DNA fragments of the virus, but without the protective encapsulation, and with questions about what effect it could have on chromosomes, and then states:
“The ZyCoV-D regimen is three shots, each 28 days apart. The phase III trial found the vaccine’s efficacy to be less than 70%.”
And then closes with:
“Whereas people around the world may be concerned and debating whether this DNA vaccine is a good idea,” Gershoni continued, “we have been blessed in Israel with RNA vaccines. So under no circumstances should theoretical arguments about DNA safety be used in Israel. They are simply not relevant.”
So is this a story about the what poverty stricken countries are trying to develop out of necessity because they can’t afford the better MRNA vaccines or get enough for their huge population? Just a weird article. It almost framed it like it was something forward looking and then it sounds very much like something that is not a step forward, but rather an experimental vaccine that is less advanced.
The headline should have been something more along the lines of, India struggles to develop their own vaccine as a cheaper alternative to more costly MRNA vaccines to combat Covid. Because that’s what it sounds like. I know they were struggling to get enough shots and were mixing and matching Astra Zeneca with some made in India and some of the Russian vaccine. And of course the better versions were going to upper caste citizens and many had only received one shot.
I’m guessing this is what they’re going to give their lower caste Dalits and other lower castes and certainly doesn’t sound like an advance, other than possibly above nothing, maybe.
XFactor's favorite cartoonist Ben Garrison looks like he has COVID, but isn't admitting it.
From Reddit
"Bad flu like symptoms with loss of smell and taste and energy" sounds like a certain bad flu-like virus we've gotten to know since early 2020.
He's still managed to draw cartoons during this time, so he couldn't be on his deathbed, but the guy is 64 and unvaxxed, sooo....

Nicki Minaj has a lot of experience handling swollen balls..
Yes they added to my original card and also sent an email link for online verification. I haven't looked at that yet since I don't really need it.
BTW, For the first time I was asked to show my vac card when I went to Planet Fitness. No drama, no one complaining, just business as usual.
Ben Garrison's case is almost surely COVID.
He has lost smell and taste (very uncommon to lose these with flu or similar viruses), and the rest of his symptoms match with COVID. Plus, it's taken 2 weeks for him to "start feeling better", which is exactly along the timeline of a moderate-to-mid-level COVID case. Flu tends to vastly improve within a week.
It's clear his wife doesn't want to admit they both have COVID, because otherwise you he will get the usual shaming and snickering from the left about it, as they seem to rejoice every time an anti-vaxx right winger dies of (or gets very sick from) COVID.
However, Garrison is a public figure and someone who intentionally injects himself into political controversy, so he should just own up to having COVID and deal with the cheering on the left.
If his wife is telling the truth about his condition, he will probably survive. It does seem he isn't in a dire situation, or otherwise he couldn't keep drawing cartoons while sick.

Very interesting article from NY Mag regarding the huge difference in COVID risk based upon age -- something largely ignored by both the left ("OMG OMG THE KIDS SO IN DANGER") and the right ("I'M 60, HEALTHY, AND DON'T NEED NO STINKING VACCINE!").
https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2021...imination.html
Among the conclusions from the article:
- Breakthrough COVID-19 deaths are almost all elderly
- Kids are really safe. An unvaccinated 10-year-old is safer from COVID than a vaccinated 25-year-old! (Try asking that question to any left-winger you know, as to which is safer, and almost 100% will get it wrong.)
- The elderly are still somewhat vulnerable, even if vaccinated. A vaccinated 80-year-old is more likely to die of COVID than an unvaccinated 50-year-old.
- Risk rates based upon age basically rocket up after childhood is over. Young adults are at far more risk than children. Middle-aged adults are at far more risk than young adults. Semi-elderly adults are at far more risk than the middle-aged. The very elderly are at far more risk than the semi-elderly.
