So basically:
But yeah, the real reason for all his problems is a magical contagious vaccine. I swear this reality is so fucked because of these people.
I know covid is associated with weird clotting issues, I'd bet money that combined with the "adjustment" contributed to the stroke. If any of the story is true ofc
Vertebral artery dissection. Very common chiropractic caused stroke. Vision changes are common in it.
Chiropractic strokes are a known thing, and Kevin Sorbo is one of the known victims. I think he was already an asshole before it, but it certainly didn't make him less of one if so.
My wife's best friend is a nurse, before covid she told me that she had four patients that suffered a stroke after visiting a chiropractor. Back pain can be awful. I've known a couple of people who who were helped by them.
Why would you go to a chiropractor for any medical problem? Get a tarot reading and a horoscope, the results will be just as useful.
My neighbor is a neurologist and told me that an astoundingly high number of people who come to the ER due to a stroke had recently had a rapid neck adjustment by a chiropractor.
I will never go to a chiropractor after what she told me.
You may very well think that, but my mum had a cold and went to a chiropractor, and within a week the cold was gone.
Fucking miracle, mate.
There is some (light) evidence that some of the adjustments may be beneficial with some back issues, etc.
Having said that, the field of chiropractic medicine is, just like homeopathy, medical quackery and should be outlawed.
The few accidentally beneficially things should be included with other medical fields, and this nonsense should just be prohibited.
I'm tired of the vast majority of people holding on to childhood beliefs and just letting that grow and fester to the point where they believe absolute nonsense. Yeah, pyramids under my bed will help me sleep because they channel my chakras on June the 15th because I'm a scoprio, or some other utter nonsense. Same as praying to Jesus as night. All of it is at the level of still believing in Santa Claus and the easter bunny. Grow up, become responsible adults, please.
The thing with chiropractors is they essentially market themselves as specialty doctors, and most people think they actually are medical professionals.
I went to a chiropractor until she told me that the inventor of the practice had once cured someone's blindness.
"Bullshit," I immediately thought, and never went to any chiro again.
You can actually say that out loud when people just make up random crap
I was young and dumb and she was hot.
Well that IS a good reason to risk paralysis :)
The results from a tarot reading and horoscope would be safer than going to a chiropractor.
Some of them dabble in physical therapy and do some useful stuff. I think that may be why they keep a better reputation than, say, homeopaths.
My mom goes to a quack chiropractor. He mostly sells her vitamins (by magically divining what she’s deficient in using straight-up fraud “kinesiology”) but keeps her believing by occasionally giving her medically significant advice. He’s still grifting her decades later off of saying she was deficient in magnesium after she complained about constipation. Yeah mom, it worked because that stuff is a laxative. No mom, he couldn’t tell you were deficient because your arm was stronger while holding a vial of magnesium. He’s just changing how hard he pushes on you. It’s fraud mom.
I wouldn't even know where to start unwinding this Gordian knot of reasoning.
he fucked his wife and caught the covid vaccine… because that’s how that works
Gordian knot
The standard way of dealing with those would probably work here too. Swift and painless, and the knot is no more.
I can translate. Someone told them that being infected with covid was effectively equivalent to being vaccinated, and they took that the wrong way. The rest is just fear of things they don't understand.
Me reading this
No, he caught the vaccine from his wife. It's contagious.
If that actually happened things would be so much better.
Everyone knows that sleeping with a vaxxed person transmits the vaccine into your bloodstream. He’s lucky he survived.
/s
Yeah a chiropractor-caused stroke was my first thought too. Some of those guys go way beyond their remit with what they think they can cure with fancy back cracking.
...does her son have a cervix?
Cervical Vertebrae. It's the top 7.
Antivax, but trans-inclusive. Confusing.
Transcript for those who don't want to try to read through the awful quality of this image
Just had to share. My son, unvaxxed, married a wonderful girl Sept. of 2024. She is vaxxed. They went to Ireland for their honeymoon, and I realize that change of pressure in the plane probably contributed. He came back from the honeymoon sick with Covid. After covid, neck pain that kept him awake at night. My husband suggested that I take him to our chiropractor. After the adjustment he immediately noticed that his vision was not in sync with his brain. Turned out he had a stroke. He's 29. He is doing fine now, but another chiropractor told me that for all intents and purposes, my son is vaxxed, and that chiropractors are being notified not to do any cervical adjustments on any patient who is vaxxed, and the lawsuits on chiropractors are rolling in, so people need to know
Could you translate it into sane-people-language as well?
I'll give a stab at it.
Ahem
" i don't understand modern medicine, it scares me because I've been told to be afraid of things that are different and that I don't understand. I use pseudoscience like chiropractors, who increase the risk of health issues, and I am incapable of seeing that the medical emergency my son went through was not caused by vaccines, but since I've been told they are the worst thing possible, all maladies must be ascribed to the vaccine"
Are you sure it wasn't the airplane pressure or being in an elevator with an Irishman?
this happened to me too
edit just the neck pain part friggin jetblue can you believe it i left my neck pillow at home and all they had were crumby inflatable ones i should have sued
Surely then he should go to a homeopath and buy some very expensive water in which an undetectably tiny amount of the vaccine has been repeatedly diluted. That should unvax him in no time.
Doing a cervix adjustment on her son does seem like a bad idea
Of all the stupid things in this post, this isn't one of them. 'Cervical' can refer to the cervix or to the cervical spine, basically the neck bones.
'Tis joke
I wonder who they voted for 🤔
Tap for spoiler

People need to know
Get vaccinated and don't go to chiropractors (at least not before going to a real doctor first).
Get vaccinated and don't go to chiropractors ~~(at least not before going to a real doctor first)~~.
Fixed that for you. There is no situation that going to a chiropractor would be a good idea. They are not medically trained. They are charlatans full stop.
My deepest hope in my heart of hearts is that the people who don't believe in scientific evidence, (read: morons), are being fed this shit as part of a eugenics program designed to cull the dumb out of the herd. Therefore... Didn't discourage these people in their beliefs! Eventually, they'll fall victim to COVID, (or whatever the next pandemic might be), removing them from the gene pool, allowing Thanos' plan to come to fruition, and affording us the chance to survive the nightmare our species is currently experiencing.
That’s not how vaccines work though. They rely on herd immunity to truly work.
