[–] QueenHawlSera@piefed.social 9 points 13 hours ago (3 children) I will never understand why so many people were willing to believe it was a hoax. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] DakRalter 6 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 child) My mum ended up on a ventilator after getting covid and not taking it seriously because she was brainwashed by my antivaxx sisters. She kept refusing the ventilator until she was actually suffocating. Then my oldest sister actually tried to persuade my dad to have the doctors take my mum off the ventilator because it's all a big conspiracy. She has a master's in microbiology (or biochemistry, I forget which). There is no depth that stupidity can't reach with some people. She also doesn't believe in soap. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MrVilliam@sh.itjust.works 1 point 1 hour ago Nobody with a grad degree in microbiology or biochemistry could possibly both earn that degree legitimately and still not believe germ theory and basic preventive measures to spreading infections and diseases, like washing your hands with soap. She must be a stinky motherfucker to not use soap in the shower. Does she also not use soap on her dirty dishes? How about laundry? The carwash? The effectiveness of soap is like fucking BIO101. Inexcusable. Tell her that this stranger on the internet says she's a fucking moron who needs to set her degree on fire and go apologize to the nearest tree for wasting so much oxygen on her stupid fucking excuse for a brain. Goddamn, I hate people. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Gormadt@slrpnk.net 7 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) The rampant usage of the misinformation machines in everyone's pockets and a blatant lack of a basic understanding of statistics. Oh and a healthy dose survivors bias. permalink fedilink source parent [–] DoctorWhoDMC@lemmy.world 1 point 8 hours ago Feels nicer to believe it’s all because of some nefarious pranksters than accept nature is random and cruel and viruses really can arise at any time and just tear down your world. If it’s all fake, there’s a tangible enemy and someone to blame. permalink fedilink source parent
