He selling measles?

Wait until he finds about the big room full of brass pipes feeding oxygen and nutrients to the brain of J Edgar Hoover, from where he is still running absolutely everything.

Elon enters the FBI's inner sanctum and must solve the Vat's riddles three in order to prove he's not a gay communist

Is that actually him? Just yesterday I fell for "Kash Patel News" on Twitter, and found his right handle there is Kash_Patel, but this seems to be a different platform.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

seems like the platform is called truthsocial, there are links in here:

https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/trump-fbi-director-kash-patel-vaccine-detox-supplements-rcna182434

I would assume if this account was not real he would have sued them for using his name for commercial purposes

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago

Thank you!

With the links I could also scroll though some posts and saw some other people using the handle to congratulate him on his new position. Seems real to me.

Okay, can I die now? I don't wanna live in this kind of world.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 hours ago

Now made with 100% bullshit.

I don't like being alive, I already didn't, but I like it less now. I crave the afterlife.

I believe in non-linear reincarnation. I hope I come back sometime before technology. Maybe even not as a human. I need a break cycle.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

if it's non-linear, maybe a reincarnation in a parallel universe without those grifters would be to your taste?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 8 hours ago

Vaccines are evolution at work. So long as they work, you live longer and have a higher chance of reproducing. This is not a difficult concept. My genetic line is going on as long as I can throw it.

"Warrior Essentials"

"Spike Gangsters"

Do the incels he's trying so hard to market to understand how stupid these names are?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Using several of them at once is even funnier - they didn't feel confident enough with just one, and got "Manly man's sigma razor spike gamgster king warrior essential basics"

Is their logo "uwu" or is it the shrug emoticon?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 hours ago

I imagine it like "if you are stupid enough to buy this dont know what to do with you" kind of shrug

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 hours ago

Looks like cock and balls to me.

Seems like something the Ninja Turtles would need.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Out of curiosity, I read one of their scientific studies on the website. The first one I read was a literature review (no tests were actually done) that said "one study says the supplement does nothing and another two sources say the study was done wrong so it could maybe be beneficial???" Wow. Such strong evidence.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 hour ago

Barely anyone would go to the same extent as you to seek evidence. The target market are more than happy to see any citations at all.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha This guy just discredit any future movie involving an FBI agent for the next 75 years. We knew america had a under-education problem, but man you guys are something.

[–] Jyek 19 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I guarantee he doesn't actually believe this shit. He's just a grifter grifting just like the rest of the Whitehouse circus cast. The only exception might be Robert F. Kennedy Jr. That freak show might actually believe the shit he spews.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 hours ago

That freak show might actually believe the shit he spews.

He may, he may not, but the brain worm does, and he's given to its will.

Germany just had a sweeping far right election, and Argentina has had a libertarian at the helms for a bit now. A ton of south Asian countries have had hardcore conservative views for a while now, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Canada shifts right next election. There are basically few corners of the earth where populism/right wing ideology isn’t growing and expanding. This isn’t an American education system problem, it’s world wide. The political elites in your country just have you convinced that it’s America that’s now the problem, which then creates a new wave of populism in your country. It’s a self eating snake.

Not that I’m disagreeing that our slapping of allies isn’t problematic. This is just something that is clearly growing everywhere and the people of Lemmy love saying “America bad” as the same exact shit is happening in your country. If you’re an American expand your news beyond our shores. The grass is unfortunately turning to shit everywhere. We’re in for a rough decade together.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

Although you have to admit, it is near impossible to get such a perfect dream team of scammers elsewhere.

Germany just had a sweeping far right election

you can't say 20% a 'sweeping'. The situation is worse at other places. And thanks to true multi party democracy, AfD probably won't be in government anyway.

[–] [email protected] 56 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I hope so for Germanys sake. A 9% increase from the last election, for a party that’s 12 years old… that’s pretty sweeping to me. Not to mention that it’s more so the southern parts of Germany that have an even stronger percentage of AfD support.

Again, I’m not wanting a right shift for these countries, but it’s become clear that things are. We could stick our head in the dirt and say it’s only America, but that wouldn’t be true, and that’s what I was getting at with my comment.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 hours ago

Party is new, ideology is old.

Shedders? Do these people think vaccines are contagious?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

It's not even applicable to most vaccines.

Basically polio spreads through poop, and this is your shedding. Oral Polio Vaccine does this as it's a weakened form of the polio virus and exhibits the same spread and provides vaccination indirectly to others. The US uses E-IPV, which is inactive and harmless and doesn't have this spread.

You'll only find OPV being used in countries with very inadequate medical access as it can be administered orally(hence the name). Only downside is that if you are very immunocompromised, there is a non zero chance you get polio and a chance you suffer from paralysis.

Flu vaccines, covid vaccine, literally anything else doesn't have this "shedding". It's literally one vaccine that isn't even administered in the united states.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 58 minutes ago

I wish people understood the differences between types of vaccines more. I despise the "vaccines good" Vs "vaccines bad" thinking. Each of them are separate treatments and like any medication have pros/cons for each individual recieving them. I think a lot of people learn about Jenner and the smallpox vaccine and assume all other vaccines work the same way.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, pay attention to mention of "shedding". They think that vaccination causes the PT in question to shuck it off as though they were Pigpen from Charlie Brown cartoon.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 8 hours ago

they should wear a mask, so they don't catch it
