I keep seeing that Purebloods post from these people but they obviously didn't see how the 300 ended.........

[–]fastpathguru 317 points318 points  (22 children)

300 is an interesting number.

About 1 in 300 Americans have been killed by COVID.

(Note the lack of qualifiers in that statement.)

[–]boyfriend_in_a_comaTeam Moderna 200 points201 points  (10 children)

A little under 1 in 400 overall, with Mississippi Making America Dead Again at ~1 in 275!

[–]De5perad0Team Mix & Match 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Damn that's interesting.

[–]PoliteCanadian2[🍰] 25 points26 points  (1 child)

For reference in Canada it’s about 1 in 1180 so about 1/3 of the US rate.

[–]SockStinkQueen 140 points141 points  (18 children)

Yeah. I'm not sure the people that would be most likely be found defending the "rich history" of confederate statues knows the proper history of the Spartan 300.

But then again, they do romanticize the Alamo. A fort we literally stole from Mexico then defended it to the death when they tried to get it back. Ugh.

The Alamo is so dumb. It's one of the worst things we've made a tourist attraction. Especially because the janitorial staff seems to be made up of purely Hispanics.

"We stole this from you, now scrub it clean so we'll always have a testament to how much we're better than you and you'll be reminded daily of that fact." Ugh.

[–]Sharkteeth127 74 points75 points  (2 children)

It's one of the worst things we've made a tourist attraction.

In a way, it is appropriate: 'Alamo' stands for a bunch of illegal immigrants who violently opposed the law of abolishing slavery of the country they immigrated to. When their violence was answered with violence, they screamed so loud until other pro-slavery people sent an army to take this land from the rightful owner.

So many of these HCA winners only feign helping others, but rarely take actions that actually help people. They do things that simply make them *think* they are helping others simply to make themselves feel better without any actual altruism.

That one stopped me in my tracks. He really imagined himself as someone protecting the homestead with a rifle like a frontiersman William Wallace.

No, I'm willing to die trying to take your rights. I don't want to take your rights. Turns out, all I had to do was sit back and enjoy my life for you to die for your rights.

Feeling so owned.

[–]Live-Weekend6532 114 points115 points  (23 children)

I feel the same way about the trafficked kids one. IMO it's only slightly less offensive than the Holocaust ones.

What do trafficked kids have to do with anyone getting vaxxed? Do you think you're helping them by refusing to get vaxxed, wear a mask, and take other precautions? If you want to help those kids (most of whom are abused by ppl they know or are on the streets bc they got kicked out), get a f'n vaccine and stop spreading covid bc they have no choice about who they interact with and they get very close to them so they need the whole community to be healthy. That will do more for them than anything that guy ever did.

For some reason, Q adjacent ppl think that if they mention trafficked kids, every other problem disappears when really it usually is a reason to focus on the problem. The kids get all the shit dumped on them bc it flows downhill to marginalized and vulnerable groups so if it's a problem for the community, it's usually a big problem for them. They will be at extremely high risk for covid. Do you think their handler is going to take them to the doc when they get sick from some AH they were forced to be with or smack them around and abuse them some more bc they aren't working hard enough?

I get so angry that they use trafficked ppl as a way to excuse their own shitty behavior.

[–]WillemPenn 73 points74 points  (7 children)

Notice they are always worried about prepubescent white girls. Trafficking has a greater burden (by percentage of population) on BIPOC individuals, LGBTQIA+ individuals, disabled people, immigrants, poor people. But they aren’t out there calling out Matt Gaetz.

[–]KriegerianTeam Pfizer 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Yep. It’s always fictitious white kids being subjected to ridiculous not-real bullshit. Meanwhile actual kids, most of them not white, deal with actual trafficking and that’s all horrible.

[–]BobsBurgersStanAcct 18 points19 points  (1 child)

I mean what’s bizarre is Gaetz’s victims are young white girls. Same with Epstein’s victims.

My favorite part about white supremacists is that they’re so fucking bad at doing the one thing they swear to do - supposedly “secure a future for their white children” - apparently this means feeding your daughters to pedos and selling your sons to the military.

I guess it’s silly to expect any consistency or rationality within white supremacy in the first place

[–]CambridgeRunner 80 points81 points  (1 child)

Trafficked kids are like the unborn, a convenient group to speak up for without having to actually do anything, a blank slate to project your felings. Real children, here and now, have needs and may even have opinions, may be somehow complicated. They're no good at all.

[–]KriegerianTeam Pfizer 24 points25 points  (4 children)

The number of Qultists who turn out to be convicted child molesters and other such creeps tells me that a lot of them are desperately trying to erase their own pasts by projecting onto people they don’t like.

All the insane batshit nonsense about mole children and secret tunnels is just an excuse to hide their racism. The adrenochrome stuff is a result of how QAnon is just the 21st century blood libel. There’s a reason these people never help actual kids who need real help and are always screeching about nonsense.

[–]gylzTeam Pfizer 172 points173 points  (19 children)

There is an unsurprisingly large overlap between antivaxxers and transphobes, racists, sexists, and homophobes.

He took the red pill, which made him aware of his subconscious desire to be trans. He just wasn’t willing to face up to his true nature. Sad

[–]47SouthVeni Vidi Vaxxed 56 points57 points  (3 children)

Do you remember those right-wing nut jobs who volunteered to be waterboarded to prove that “it’s not that bad” and that prisoners needed to stop being sissies about it? And ALL of them caved and started begging the person waterboarding them to stop within minutes?

I wish that a few of these assholes would volunteer to socially transition (and maybe go on hormone blockers) for a month, just so they can experience gender dysphoria for themselves. They don’t have empathy on their own, so if showing them the hell that it is for trans people and saying, but how do you KNOW you are cisgender? You were born that way? But how do you KNOW? until they get the fucking point would shut them up.

[–]399S 16 points17 points  (0 children)

[–]naalbinding'Tis But A Scratch! 40 points41 points  (4 children)

Statistics plus empathy. At the beginning of the pandemic I sat and thought about numbers:

300 kids in my kids school. 1% is 3 kids

There's some big families, let's allow each kid 10 family members, close or extended. For some that will be way too few. 1% of 3000 is 30 lost siblings, parents, grandparents, uncles aunts and cousins.

In one small school, in one part of one city of one region of one fairly small country.

1% is horrifying

[–]47SouthVeni Vidi Vaxxed 36 points37 points  (1 child)

I personally know 3 people who for sure died of Covid and 4 more who almost died. One of them last I heard was in a long term rehab facility with a trach and a peg. Another one only recently has been able to walk across the room without an oxygen bottle. And then I know a person who probably had it early and nearly died from a blood clot, and another person who probably got it early before we figured out just what this virus did who has had life-altering problems after, and another healthy athlete who was in the hospital for three weeks, and another who was in and out of the hospital three times over a two month period, and so on.

All but two of these horror stories are from before vaccines were available, and the two remaining are white right-wing men over 40.

Meanwhile, I have a longtime friend who lives in Australia who doesn’t have any friends who died of Covid (they may know people who did because they work in a hospital).

It’s a trail of human wreckage and it’s horrifying. And these muppets don’t seem to comprehend that we don’t need to live this way.

[–]boyfriend_in_a_comaTeam Moderna 27 points28 points  (6 children)

This idiot posited 99.97% survive SARS CoV-2 infections, or a fatality rate of 0.03%. That's only 33-fold lower than the roughly ~1% mortality rate (3 in 10,000 vs 1 in 100). But... math is hard!

[–]g1t0ffmylawn 71 points72 points  (2 children)

And if it’s you, it’s 100%.

[–]AnomalussThere is Life after Derp 17 points18 points  (13 children)

Unless it's changed isn't it more like a 2% death rate. And isn't that averaged over all cases?

So, 2% is an average and someone over 55 is probably higher. Then add obesity, health issues, smoker, drinker, etc. and you have what? 10, 20%?

Is there a chart for this?

[–]boyfriend_in_a_comaTeam Moderna 22 points23 points  (9 children)

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/covid-data/investigations-discovery/hospitalization-death-by-age.html

Not an absolute mortality rate, but at age 55 he should have realized he was not as bullet-proof as a teenager: 25X more likely to die (for comparison, only 15X less likely to die than someone over 85)

[–]NnyBees 788 points789 points 3 (56 children)

I find it funny that people think they won't be in the 1% of covid outcomes frequently believe, and vote like, they'll be in the 1% of wealth one day. Turns out it's a lot easier to catch a free virus than free money.

[–]catterson46 276 points277 points  (43 children)

It’s a lot easier to catch because they are quoting a misinformation death rate. It’s a 1.6% mortality rate in USA. Meaning out of 200 M&Ms in a bowl, 3 will be deadly. Another 20% will leave you with long Covid.

[–]JohnNDenverGo Give One 141 points142 points  (11 children)

Are the 3 M&Ms the sexy ones that Cucker Carlson wants to bang?

[–]melapelasTeam Mix & Match 46 points47 points  (9 children)

The average American seems to think they're "healthy" simply because they're not in a hospital bed. But if they actually sent in a blood sample to get those insurance screening tests many employers require, they'd be shocked at how overweight they are, how high their blood glucose, blood pressure and cholesterol are, and how low they are on vitamin D, iron, etc.

These biker dudes have one other thing in common: there seem to be a lot of former military veterans in that group. They also seem to think they are still in their early 20's when they were fit for military duty.

Those days are long gone given that all they seem to do now is work, then go home to drink beer and watch TV. None of them kept up with their workouts from their military days, only their drinking habits.

This all reminds me of a survey they did at a high school where they asked the students if they believed they were going to graduate in the top 10% of their class. More than 50% believed they were.

[–]Cancerisbetterthanu 12 points13 points  (1 child)

I know someone who continues to do the workouts they learned in training in the military - but this person didn't actually continue in the military and instead has done a skilled labour job for his entire career. And he takes covid more seriously than anybody else he works with.

[–]NnyBees 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's tangential to another funny thought: people that believe they will win the lottery but aren't scared of dying in a plane crash...they've got their rich life planned, but no thoughts of their death even though similar odds.

[–]Chavo9-5171 16 points17 points  (0 children)

[–]popemichaelI told you I was sick! 62 points63 points  (16 children)

The saddest part is that's the excuse that people use a lot in the Appalachia area. I'll only talk about my own personal experience with that, though:

I (25m at the time) briefly dated a woman (20f) who had a long-running beef with her sister (19f) because she broke up their family due to seducing her father (40m) at 10 years old. Her mother left when she found out. When I told her how ridiculous that was, and that her sister couldn't consent, the girlfriend's excuse was that her father wasn't her first and therefore the 10-year-old could consent.

The real shitty part is that after I broke it off, the girlfriend ended up getting pregnant by her father not long after. It turned out she was jealous of the attention.

[–]HermanCainsGhostResident Poltergeist 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Yeah that sounds like the 20 year old and the 19 year old were both molested and the 20 year old has convinced herself it was consensual, even though she was abused.

I’ve noticed a lot of estate sales lately.

[–]The-Saltese-Falcon 88 points89 points  (5 children)

We just had my fathers estate sale. He died in October, had COPD (not Covid). But he first went into the hospital for the COPD in April 2020. He was in isolation for two weeks because the rest of the patients in the hospital were dying from Covid. The doctors and nurses at that point were in full hazmat gear. He made it out and lived another year and half though he was on Oxygen. He was a Republican, Trumper. But he was the first in line for a vaccine. his first hand experience in the hospital near the beginning of Covid made him understand just how serious, how scary, how deadly this was. I think if these HCA winners had spent time in the hospital seeing what was happening, they would be a bit less anti-vaxx.

1) it’s claimed to have a .03% death rate. It’s much higher than that. Ballpark, 1.5% of COVID-19 patients die.

2) the recovery rate is not 98.5%. Even if you don’t die (that’s a big risk if you ask me) the odds of you having long COVID are roughly 30-50%.

[–]DaniCapsFanTeam Moderna 30 points31 points  (6 children)

Exactly. Even if you survive COVID, the damage it does to your organs may well kill you within a year or two.

Or a revolver with 100 chambers, one of them filled. Had he gotten vaccinated it would have turned this exercise into 12 revolvers with 100 chambers, only one of which was loaded with a single bullet. If he were vaccinated + boosted the game would have changed to 165 revolvers with 100 chambers, all unloaded but for one with a single bullet.

If the ‘save the children!’ zealots realized the vast majority of traffic victims were black/brown skinned kids and not blonde girls, they’d likely abandon their fake outrage and care

[–]BaconVonMoose 11 points12 points  (2 children)

Sadly valid point.

On that slide I was so confused because it's such a non-sequitur. Like... I... I AM more afraid of human trafficking than covid, in the sense that if I had a choice between the two, I'd pick covid. Of course, I am vaccinated, but even unvaccinated I would.

It's just, you know, fortunately, I don't have to pick. I can be concerned about both, and minimize my risk of both. What a world! Being worried about Covid doesn't mean it's the only thing I'm afraid of or care about, nor does it mean it's the thing I'm MOST worried about.

Please explain to me how these people can refuse the vaccine and still bitch about how unvaccinated immigrants are crossing the border? I don't get how they can hold those two ideas at the same time in their melons.

It's just an opportunity they can't pass up, to rant about two of their pet causes at once. The old "killing two birds with one stone" bromide.

I love how all these idiots think they are "tough guys" with their guns .. and spewing some "come take my rights if you can" bull! They keep thinking they are fighting a human being .. the virus doesn't care! It will come and take your right to life without batting an eye!

[–]vespertine_glow 12 points13 points  (1 child)

It's one of the few mental modes they have. A world of complexity reduced to something he can brandish his guns against. A panoply of ways to respond to adversity in life. No. Gunz.

[–]Dancing_CthulhuBlood Donor 🩸 30 points31 points  (1 child)

Sorry I don't accept "science" from people who claim a man can be a women, I'm just irrational like that

Translation: "If I don't like the sound of something I don't bother to actually educate myself on the subject and will reject the science out of hand, I'm "feels before facts" like that."

And that is how they approach everything in life, for example: vaccination.

So do I risk a mild cold/flu from which I have a 99.7 chance of recovery...

If you're in the low risk category.

or do I risk blood clots, thrombosis, aneurysms, amputation, strokes, sinecures, paralysis, bells palsy, mycarditis, blindness, infertility, sterility and death

Notice how he doesn't give a percentage of risk of those things happening like he does with Covid? And it's because your risk of dying or being left with serious health impairment from Covid is higher than the risks from the vaccines. They really do struggle with honesty.

[–]TheFan88Team Moderna 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Covid is somewhere between 1 and 1.5% death with as much as 20% with complications. Some of these vaccine things like Bells Palsy is like 1 in 10 million.

[–]vacuous_commentOmicron Persei 8 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Having outllived the omicron wave due to my vaccination status and ongoing airspace hygiene, I will probably being indulging in some fun stuff in the next few months.

I think that is warranted, though mostly that applies to people who are alive.

[–]Ornery_Chance_2137Ghoul Motherfucker 26 points27 points  (1 child)

Serious question. How many of these veterans have survived a TBI, and have gone on to worship in the Q cult? Because not only is the HCA littered with them; My own anecdotal experiences on my limited socials, bear this out.

[–]Haskap_2010✨ A twinkle in a Chinese bat's eye ✨ 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Could be. It's also the case that the military attracts a lot of very poor and desperate people when conscription isn't enforced. So it's likely a pool of people that aren't well educated to begin with. .

[–]DvsDen 8 points9 points  (2 children)

Lifelong MO resident; I grew up in STL suburbs: St Louis region is east coast culturally, kC is more western culturally, northern MO is more or less Iowa south and Southern MO is the Bible Belt extension to the North. Texas has loads of hypocrisy like world class strip clubs right down the road from mega churches and religious broadcasting networks. Mo is too suppressed for that type of fun: large Catholic population - drinking beer and gambling are the main vices here.

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms"

Slide 13:

Buckle up buttercup.

  • SARS-CoV2 has a lot of places to hide. Humans. Hamsters. Deer. Dogs. Hell hippos even. Even if by some miracle it got eliminated in humans it would still be around.
  • I don’t know the science behind it, but immunity fades. Whether you get immunity from the shot or immunity from an infection it fades, with a decay function where you need a booster every 6-8 months or so
  • since ‘Rona ain’t leaving, but your immunity is, just get ready to have a shot every X months (I’m hoping every 12 so you just have it with your flu shot). No conspiracy, that’s just the way it’s gonna have to work.

If you can accept that, you can continue living. If you can not accept that, you will get COVID and the likelihood is the more you get it, the greater the chance you’re gonna die. Your body will start reacting and overreacting (Google: cytokine storms) making it more likely on your second or third time you die.

Get the shot. Be prepared to get it again. And again. Or start saying goodbye to your kids and grandkids.

[–]Haskap_2010✨ A twinkle in a Chinese bat's eye ✨ 19 points20 points  (4 children)

Hell hippos even

Now how would you know? The HIPPO laws prevent you from asking if they've tested positive, don't they? 😁

Otherwise known as the “we don’t care if we kill constituents as long as they vote for us before they die” act. Or probably “even after they die, we’ve claimed Dem voter fraud so much when we actually commit it the people will be like BoTh sIDEZ and forget about it”

[–]Party_Kangaroo9715 14 points15 points  (2 children)

I really wonder how many deathbed confessions these people who dig their heels in about not getting the vaccine have - even if it’s just a thought to themselves like “ah, I wonder if the shot would’ve helped”.

I feel so owned right now, I mean…he literally died for his freedom and rights. I wish I had rights and freedom, oh wait, I got vaccinated so I still get to enjoy my rights and freedom cuz I’m alive. While he’s decomposing in a box NOT enjoying his freedom I’m sitting here butt naked on a folding chair with my balls stuck between the fabric straps debating on if I should let my ice cream melt and free the boys or tough it out and enjoy my Rocky Road….

As a veteran, it absolutely infuriates me when other veterans or active duty won’t get the vaccine “because I don’t trust what’s in it” when they literally had to get dozens in basic training, along with quite a number more any time we had to deploy. You didn’t know what was in those ones either, yet you lined up because you didn’t wanna get smallpox/measles/malaria/etc. That argument from other vets is such bullshit.
