The CDC just recommended a new round of boosters for everyone the other day. And as expected, conservative media is melting down about it again. But even beyond that, they’ve been getting back into “COVID temper tantrum” mode for about a week or so now that we're moving into the fall.
Oh, thanks for the heads up that the Omicron vaccine is available now! Will schedule it and a flu shot this weekend.
Well at least I can commend Faux News for their consistency.
I miss the days when antivaxxers were just a source of amusement, like flat earthers. Now they seem to be everywhere and it's just sad.
It was never amusing. Earlier it was "only" kids dying of the measles because their dumbass parents were antivaxxers. With COVID-19, it started affecting adults so that's why they get more attention. The public seems to be better able to tolerate children dying of preventable shit than adults.
It was way less children than Covid has killed.
And it wasn't like nobody cared, those parents had to go out of their way to not vaccinate their children.
Do want another level of insanity? Here in Germany, we got the news today that WEATHER TV persons get harrased by people that think there is no climate change and its just propaganda.
There was a meteorologist in the US, in Nebraska iirc, that resigned a couple of months ago after receiving death threats for daring to mention climate change during his weather report. They're fucking unhinged.
In France, on one of the main channels (the public TV, something like 5 or 6 channels, one of which is 24h news), the weather is now called "climate news" and addresses frontally climate stuff, with a link where you can send questions that they answer on air (whether what they answer are real questions or not is left as an exercise to the reader).
Of course that ruffled some feathers with the lunatic fringe, but they stuck with it, which is nice.
That's pretty cool.

Some weather people have shown a spherical Earth instead of a disc! Heathens!
Oh that’s been going on everywhere for a while.
For most people, the TV weatherman is legit the only scientist they know. Of course they’re gonna take it out on them.

checks Russel Brands YouTube
Yeah....yeah they are
Russel Brand turning into a conservative hack was not on my apocalypse bingo card.
I used to really like Russell Brand. Not to say I don't like him. I've never met him but from all accounts he seems to be a decent and caring person. But his recent weird ramblings are just... odd.

Yes, because people not working cuts into their dividends.
They have to be vaccinated to keep working, despite the bullshit they peddle.
Yep and the only people unaware of that mandatory vaccination requirement seem to be Fox News’ viewers. So I find this very amusing.
That's the thing about everyone posting about publication of private fact...there's no private fact here.
It's been well publicized that Fox required all their employees to get vaccinated in order to continue there.
If she was there during that time, and she's still working, it's public knowledge that she's vaccinated.
"but, but, they have to be! Otherwise the man won't let them get the truth out to us. They're sacrificing themselves and conforming so we can get THE TRUTH"
You are anti-vax because youre a paranoid conspiracy theorist.
I am anti-vax because I crave death.
straightens tie
We are not the same.
I'm antivax because I sell tiny coffins and business was slow
slaps roof of tiny coffin
"This bad boy can fit exactly one antivaxxer's kid..."
There are nicer ways to go than covid. Like overzealous erotic asphyxiation. Get you a nice hunk to choke you to death.
You offering? 👉👈

Fox "News"
Faux News
Well, "fine" is debatable when describing Jeanine Pirro
She had to get vaccinated to work there. Her job was more important than the "evil" vaccine I guess.
