    You weren’t paying attention to the alt media igniting and fanning the flames as the pandemic unfolded, it was like Covid itself started broadcasting and posting on forums. Unbelievable shit. Felt like one of those “wacky wednesday” books but with, you know, more people choking to death on their own blood.

      It still didn’t make sense.

      I knew healthcare was the main testing ground for vaccines. It made sense. Someone had to go first. It also made sense to deliver it asap. Staff was bleeding out of hospitals. Staff did die. Some cases of workers surviving only to find themselves widows or widowers because they brought it home, near the beginning. I think a lot more staff would’ve left and simply waited it out at home if not for the vaccine. The vaccine kept hospitals open imo.

      But sure. Bill Gates nanobots in a shot! That one was my favorite.

        I mean, the same thing happened during the Spanish Flu Pandemic. There were even anti-mask leagues, as I recall. We’ve always been quite stupid as a nation.
