Yeah, don’t accept trash from strangers.

RagnarokOnline ,

I mean, that survey on the back isn’t lying, per se, but it’s taking things that are only minorly concerning and stating them in a way that is overblown or more alarming than they deserve.

“The best lies are based in truth”, I suppose.

Duke_Nukem_1990 ,

What? Starting with the first one, thats already a lie. So is the third, they just don't understand what long-term means.

bjorney ,

A couple of them fall into the "technically true, but misleading territory" - I'm sure the person handing this out couldn't identify which though - broken clock right twice a day and all

"Can you reverse effects" - no you can't make your immune system forget how to work. Probably not what they are going for here though.

"Risk of [...] or other side effects?" - yeah the vaccines generally give people a headache and short lived fever symptoms

"Have there been deaths?" - The astrazeneca vaccine had like a 0.000001% mortality risk (more likely to die driving to the pharmacy), and was pulled in many countries because that was deemed too dangerous. Person handing out the flyer has likely been parroting "mRNA vaccines cause blood clots" nonsense for years while being completely unaware that AZ was a traditional viral vector vaccine

"Are there doctors recommending NOT taking it" - yeah, there are many notable anti-vaccine doctors, what they typically have in common is they earned their doctorate in computer science, social studies, or some other field that gives them no qualifications to talk about immunology

I hate this type of stuff because it will work of off something like. masks impeded airflow. well yeah. thats the point. but you would have to be extrememly frail for it to effect you. Like on the level where you need supplementary oxygen even without a mask or just shy.

msage ,

Wasn't the immunity against covid relatively short-lived? I remember something about even getting covid not building long-term resistance, so that would mean that even the vaccine did reverse its effect at some point.

What I absolutely despise, and my own friend brought up in an online conversation, was the abortion embryos.

He claimed abortion clinics everywhere were a conspiracy to harvest matter for the vaccines, all government controlled.

After nagging him a lot, he provided a link from which he wanted to prove his claim.

Surprise surprise, the journalistic piece only said there were cells used to develop the vaccine, mostly for testing, from a single embryo from like 1970s.

We are both from Europe btw.

    very blatantly, right in front of her, wipe your hands with sanitizer and then wipe down the flyer …

    EDIT: “Oh, this isn’t for the virus, y’all just nasty.”

    "I got the vaccine and nothing bad happen to m-" start convulsing and making gross sounds while dropping to the ground

    "Ahhh! The 5G! It buuuurns!"

    I wonder if you could convince one of these people of something even more crazy.

    HikingVet ,

    Depends on whether you frame it in a way that appeals to them.

    Once I got into it with a flat earther and they started spouting some shit about how the phases of the moon proved the earth was flat, I just cackled and said "You believe in the moon?"

    When that stupid PSA warning came through that conspiracy theorists said would "activate" the vaccine I was in my MAGAt infested office. I fell to the floor and screamed "The vaccine!" as soon as I heard everyone's phones go off.

    What did our gut flora do to deserve it?

    HikingVet ,

    Did they just photocopy a flyer that was photocopied by someone else? Because this looks like it was about 15 steps from the original printing. Also, why hand these out now?

    herrcaptain ,

    Sounds about right for these folks. Anytime you see an email like this it's always FW: FW: FW: FW: FW: FW: the Illuminati KILLED MY DOG with COVID masks!

    So I grew up in the Midwes, then move to New England and there, everyone called Bavarian cream donuts, Boston cream donuts.

    After looking it up, turns out the first Bavarian cream recipes in the US were found in the Boston School cookbooks.

    Reminds me of a line in Futurama:

    Fry: Over there a crazy guy used to hand out a socialist newsletter

    Bender: Was it poorly Xeroxed?

    Fry: Oh, you better believe it!

    I once got a full color, too many graphics, tiny writing to fit it all on one full page flyer about how doritos is made with human stem cells. I've got it in a file somewhere because it was so weird I couldn't throw it out. And yes, some of the graphics were of the flavoring fetuses.

    For many years, I had what was very definitely an expensive printed tract (full color in the early 1990s) called "Is the Russian Bear Ready to Strike?" It predicted that Russia would launch a nuclear strike on the United States based on Biblical prophecy. My favorite part was where they tied it into the Biblical tribes of Gog and Magog by saying that Gorbachev's name was actually Gogrbachev. Since this was in 1990 or 1991 and the Soviet Union collapsed in 1992 and Gorbachev (Gogrbachev?) died two years ago, I think their prophecy might have been a little off.
