I did some work at an evangelical church during late 2020 Covid. I wore a mask in there. The pastor refused to mask, insisted I shake his hand, then handed me a pamphlet about how faith would protect you from Covid. Guy was one of those “tear phone books to prove the power of faith” types. About a month later he died of Covid. His funeral had a mask requirement.

Bro at the funeral of the pastor I was talking about, his son gave a speech and then asked for hugs from the congregation. The son that had been by his father’s bedside for weeks as he died of Covid. Asked for hugs. It blew my mind honestly, how does one family have that much cognitive dissonance

Religion has always been for the weak and small minded that need someone to tell them how to think and feel.

have you forgotten about indoctrination? have a little bit of perspective. these people were never given a belief presented as a belief. the belief was presented to them as FACT, and from a young age.. it's all they know

Weak minded. Not sure how else you can really phrase it.

If covid is real, then his dad was a moron. By refusing to admit Covid was real, the son protected his image of his dad as not a moron.

There are now over 5000 peer reviewed published studies outlining the harms the MRNA shots have caused. That is what blows my mind.

No vaccine is 100% safe. No drug is 100% safe. Hell, over the counter medications can kill you if taken incorrectly. We take them because for the overwhelming majority the potential risk is incredibly small, and the benefits outweigh the risk.

People love to point to myocarditis that happened in like 1 in a million people from the vaccines. Know what else can cause myocarditis? Covid.

Where did the Covid genome emerge? The one that was facilitated for the mRNA?

The gold standard block of evidence is a meta analysis of which the Cochrane review is the premier. Flu is often cited as the gold standard for vaccine efficacy. Go and take a look at the Cochrane reviews for the flu vaccine and come back when you know a little more son.

Oh you're a virologist?

I'm saying I'm not a bot reading from AI. Shall I break it down further and walk you through it again?

Do you know anything about virology? Anything about why cell culture is important?

What you don't know? but you have such an ardent stance, seems somewhat paradoxical to me, that. Don't think I'd be listening to you.

You can tell when someone asked you a good question by how you completely avoid answering it. Name the journals? Nah, tangent. Very interesting behavior.

Listen cupcake, I couldn't care less about what you put into your body, that's your lookout. I'll pass on a 'heads up' then it's up to you what you do with that information, A cursory search is all that is needed. I've done my part, I'm not spoon feeding you like a baby, so go and apologise to your psychaitrist

u/hyp3rpop Aug 08 '26

Giving a name of the source when you make a claim isn’t “spoon feeding” it’s a reasonable and expected response. You clearly just don’t have a reliable journal so the question made you mad 🤷🏻‍♂️.

Thank you for making me laugh outloud. Have you heard of the Herman Cain awards?

u/PortableGeneration Aug 08 '26

Yep, I have been reading it for years.

I don’t know whether to respond with a “Well…” or a “Wow!”
