The Return of Karma

[KaraBulut]

I was talking to a guy the other night; seemingly intelligent and clued up. He works in the prison service as an educator (the irony will not be lost on you) so has one-to-one contact with randoms all day
He said he had had his first shot of AZ but was holding off having the second and booster shots.
I asked him why and he said it was because it hadn't been tested for long enough
So I asked him how long it would need to be tested for for him to feel safe taking it. He said 6 years
To which I said 'If you survive that long'
No where comes the kicker.
The guy is a fitness fanatic and said he wanted to shift his lockdown weight as he works as a butler-in-the-buff
His method of fast dieting is - get this - to do a line of coke 4 times a day to suppress his appetite
So he won't take the vaccine in case it harms him but he is happy to snort street coke which s cut with god knows what!
Words failed me!

I've known several people like this who eat a Snickers bar while drinking a Diet Coke. Or who are afraid to fly on a commercial airline but spend a couple of hours each day driving on busy freeways. They don't quite understand the concept of relative risk.

But of course, what they're getting from "news" outlets and social media doesn't help. My favorite example from this weekend: Rep Nancy Mace (R-SC) sending two conflicting messages based upon which channel she was being interviewed on:

(Incidentally, the study that I think she's citing found that people who had COVID-19 and then received the vaccines had a higher level of immunity. On the other hand, the people who had COVID-19 but did not get vaccinated had inconsistent immunity, particularly if they had asymptomatic infections which made them vulnerable to reinfection).

^ I kept waiting for the part in which someone brings up the subject of why he agreed to get one of the two shots if he fears the vaccine might hurt him.

I think it was a case that he took the shot before he heard about blood clots

And of course not everyone who gets Covid has it seriously enough to be hospitalised. It is very inconsistent, in the same way that flu is

This is, at the same time, one of the saddest and most stupid cases so far. Vegan guy would not get vaccinated because the vaccine had been tested on animals. How does he think not getting vaccinated is going to help the animals? Now he is dead from Covid, but the animals are probably alive or at least did not die from Covid. His wife, who is vaccinated, is fine. Some of these cases make me cry. This is so unnecessary, and so preventable.

Glynn Steel, 54, begged nurses for jab as he fought for his life but it was too late
Last words to wife Emma were: 'I have never felt so ill, I wish I'd had the vaccine'

Ah, the good old days where the loonies were on the Left.

Some irony: animals in zoos are being vaccinated for COVID-19 because they can be infected by their human handlers.

How zoos persuade animals to get the coronavirus vaccine. (M&Ms and ice cream help.) [WaPo]

If only M&Ms and ice cream would work with the anti-vaxxers.

Karma was busy last week. And she went international!

Rex Warwood, age 80 of Pukekohe, New Zealand. Journalist-Author, anti-vaxxer old kook. Dead from COVID.

Anti-Fauci, Anti-Jacinda (PM of NZ) and anti-vax:

He was a Qiwi!

It is possible to write incoherent thoughts in coherent English:

It's the cellphone towers, of course:

More crazy nonsense:

Eventually, there's always hydroxycholoroquine or ivermectin:

Huh?

And then... dead from COVID-19:

Jeremy Voss, age 42 and Monica Voss, age 40 of Ogilvie, MN. Owners of a local restaurant. Anti-vaxxers. Both got COVID-19. Monica died.

Let's start with that common "freedom" badge meme:

Freedom. Mandates. Yada yada yada:

Conspiracy theories:

Far-right disinformation:

The Voss' did something right in bringing up their daughter who works in healthcare. She tried to tell people to get vaccinated:

The daughter believes in science:

In spite of this, Mom says "do your research":

In spite of the arguments between daughter and parents, they're still her parents:

But sometimes, daughter knows best:

And Father figures it out too late:

But it's too late:

And there's an empty chair this Thanksgiving:

Or for anything that can sneak its way to a good karma boon out of those surviving all this sham freedom mess?

It sounds like a good idea in theory, but the only lawyers those in their circle know are probably out with Covid, too.

^ It was not an idea or a suggestion, but a mere assumption, given how the legal system is usually working in America

Marcus Lamb, 64, Dallas, TX, Televangelist, anti-vaxxer and anti-vaxx promoter, ICU with COVID.

I don't wish death on anyone from COVID...but nice to know that it can silence the noise from the cynical and evil god-botherers out there. If this fucker survives, it isn't because of prayuuuurrrr.

Hopefully the grift will stop for awhile....but I doubt it.

I can't even even be bothered to edit this down, so:

Now dead.

What about Little Pharma? Who is profiting from the Ivermectin pandering hype?

Remember last November when Republican members of the Wayne County, Michigan Board of Canvassers refused to certify the election results in Wayne County (home of Michigan's largest city, Detroit?

Guess what happened to him...

Now dead. From the comments left on hearing about his demise:

Being a resident of metro Detroit I watched this guy live in action when the County Board of Canvassers met to certfy the vote. It came out that Trump contacted him prior to the vote. Fortunately the other Republican on the Board caved after hours of public comment in support of certifying the results for Biden. So apropos that Karma lit this guy's ass up.

Not to forget that the posterchild for "create the problem and the fear, then offer the solution", goes for the American weapon cancer.

And what about all that feeds you, all that you carry in your pocket or your bag, everything in your home, everything around your home... all of which you accept without questioning with the same arguments that would be at least as valid, when not even more, against them.
