He said the Covid vaccine goes against his son's "basic principles, he doesn't believe in it".
:data-laughing:
In what world is a VACCINE worse than a fucking HEART TRANSPLANT omg anti-vaxxers are wild
what a ghoulish way to phrase "there were already thousands queuing for transplants, and vaccinated people are prioritized because they have a higher chance of surviving the procedure"
:england-cool:
i trust these doctors to literally cut open my ribcage, rip my heart of my body and replace it with a stranger's but i'm too scared to let them stick a needle into my shoulder
antivaxx is seriously the most bizarre ideological development in probably all of human history lol
it's like a weird intersectional discipline too
People get to feel Very Very Clever by being part of a secret club which knows “the truth”. Antivaxx ideology is a symptom of the west’s Main Character Syndrome. They gotta be the special ones…
reminds me of all the people refusing blood transfusions in case it has vaccine in it.
Having enough blood in your body isn't worth it clearly.
Slightly unrelated - I remember when I was growing up a neighbor needed a blood transfusion to live and said it was also against his principles, so he died. His wife is still alive 20 years later alone in the house. All of this was totally preventable
All this time I thought it took being raised in a high-control religious group to suicide via blood refusal. JWs are being shown up by internet memes
At that point, why would you even go to the hospital? Why not just put in a microchip or whatever into your open chest cavity? Why not put it in any of the other medications they give you?
It sucks that somebody is likely going to leave their kids without a father and that this is all largely a product of unchecked antivax propaganda, but I'm glad the organ donation will go to someone who will be more likely to take care of it.
Pretty much all this. I take issue with this one, yes antivaxxers suck and are bad but denying them life saving medicine because they're not, like, "deserving" of it, is some Malthusian shit. I literally do not blame antivaxxers for being antivaxxers, I place the blame on the government for doing absolutely fuck all to counter antivaxx propaganda which has some very real basis in history. You're telling these people that rightfully do not trust big pharma due to decades well documented ghoul shit to shut up and get the shot just because, because why? Because we say so? Again, like I keep on saying, quite literally all of this horror show could have been sidestepped with an ounce of prevention and a lockdown in 2020. Then we could have had opensource vaccines that paranoid types would be more trusting of.
Full disclosure I'm fully vaccinated myself and I'm not doing an apologia for these moron chuds, rather pointing out that liberals are absolutely giddy to see these people die.
It’s the Some More News bit.
“They’re pigs, and they should die like pigs!!!”
Totally anecdotal but I've seen more chuds become leftists than I've seen comfortable libs. I think chuds are already kind of halfway there, they just can't let go of their racism and see LGBTQ people as human. While liberals are like addicts, wanting one more hit of electoralism, this time it's going to be different!
Yes those types are in there and do exist but there's like wildly uninformed people too who mean well but are frankly too foolish for their own good. My overall point is that largely we've delegated the pandemic down to an individualistic choice and are more than fine with offloading horrible deaths onto the individual. This spineless government who knew full well the antivaxx hysteria that was already out there pre-pandemic is somehow acting ignorant and all like "man, we never saw this coming!" to people that have been gaining steam since 2016. So we dance around this issue, rather than being firm and putting it into law to get the shot, well, get it if you want it, I suppose, but you also have to get it, but it's your choice! Make sense?
Yes. Drinking one beer puts you way lower on the list of liver transplants. Organs are hard to come by, they want them to be given to those most likely to live, and thus, those who take care of themselves the most. That would include vaccines.
We could solve the medical blood shortage overnight by simply converting 75% of America to Jehova's Witnesses.
If you think vaccines suck wait till you have to take anti-rejection meds for the rest of your life to suppress your immune system.
Mr Ferguson has been in hospital since last Thanksgiving weekend, 26 November 2021, and he suffers from a hereditary heart issue that causes his lungs to fill with blood and fluid, according to a GoFundMe.
The organiser of the fundraiser said Mr Ferguson was concerned he could experience cardiac inflammation - a potential side effect from coronavirus vaccination that the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) emphasises is rare and temporary - and that it might prove dangerous given the weakness of his heart.
Sounds like this was a careful decision made in the context of his existing heart condition. At the same time, the hospital is right to not go through with the procedure given the increased chance of exposure on the surgery floor.
