    No, just a higher percentage of em. Which is exactly what happened.

    On the other hand, I’ve heard a lot of antivaxxers proclaim everyone who got the shot would be dead by last year.

      Also, that’s not the fucking point. The vaccination protects everyone, even if you aren’t at a high risk of death from COVID. Every infection is an opportunity for mutation, and every vaccination brings us closer to herd immunity.

        They aren’t real big on “facts”, those who are saying the opposite… It’s more like a “feels like” statement, which they repeat b/c someone on the TV or radio said it, therefore it must be true.

            Omg that’s what really blew me away, all these “Pro-Life” people, some who are legit or at least believe they are e.g. they would adopt kids to prevent them growing up not taken care of, basically killing people, more or less knowingly, and they neither care nor even so much as (choose to) see the contradiction.

              the kind of pro-life that’s perfectly happy for women to die trying to give birth to dead babies, but incensed that anyone could make them wear a face mask for 3 minutes.

              yeeaaah. you know the ones.

      Yep, a whole bunch of the Q Anon adjacent folks, mostly evangelical extremist conspiracy theorists at this point, were calling the vaccine a ‘clotshot’ and a bioweapon, and were actually claiming it would kill basically everyone who got it within a year.

      Lots of overlap with the people that think 5g is a mind control weapon.
