Antivax but do random shrooms/lsd/blow from strangers and buy their weed illegally
but we dont know whats in those vaccines lol
I ask antivaxers I know if they ever turned down a medicine prescribed by their doctor other than the one the media told them to fear?
Yeah, the only two antivaxxers I know (more did know) have fried their brains to mush with drugs so them believing that shit isn’t surprising. I did lots of drugs in my 20s and knew a lot of people who did even more than me, and the two people who were always the “worst” with their use are the only ones I am aware of who are antivaxxers (In Sweden, it’s not common here at all). They’d lick a literally turd if they saw someone sprinkle some unknown powder on it just for the chance of it making them high in any way, but they would fight to their death if anyone tried to vaccinate them specifically only with a covid vaccine.
My favorite hypocrite is Jenny McCarthy who obviously has never met a cosmetic injectable she doesn’t like but was one of the foremost anti-vax idiots out there.
Botulism toxin injected directly into my face - 🌞🎶😁👄👅
A vaccine preventing measles mumps and rubella - 😵💫☠️💀❤️🩹👎
Botox is actually super helpful for a number of legitimate medical reasons, which a lot of people don’t know. Migraines, limb contractures, anal fissures as a few examples.m
I hope Jenny McCarthy stubs her toe.
Can we swap that with falls feet first into a wood chipper at 75 percent power?
Yeah, but botulism is all natural.
That’s what I tell myself when I eat expired MREs!
Only all natural 100% organic toxins injected into my face! 😤
JK, I’ll also take any variety of filler you got to keep my face from caving in on itself.
Through an improbable and insane series of events, the only facial filler I have right now is 250CCs of weasel cum. I can discount the service or reschedule you when another filler is available.
Injected via weasel?
Even the applicator is all natural!
Just goes to show you how it’s not a rational decision driven by evidence and consideration like they reflexively say, it’s just reactionary nonsense spread by traitors. I will never forgive traitors for what they have done to dismantle society in the modern age.
Few people are consistent in their worldview and actions.
Had a crunchy hippie lecture me about the danger of the covid vaccine, because you don’t know what’s in it. This was at a house party during covid, where she smoked cigarettes, snorted ketamine, MDMA, and mephedrone.
And like, the ingredients of the COVID vaccine are like, totally top secret.
¿Por qué no los dos?
I’ll take every vaccine I can get. Hell, I would sign up for the smallpox vaccine if I could get it, even though that disease hasn’t existed in the wild in decades. I want every covid booster. I want it all! Jab me up, give me that sweet MRNA!
And I’ll take the other stuff too. I love me a good edible. I’m on tirzepatide myself, even though insurance doesn’t cover it. How do I afford it? Simple! I pirate the hell out of it!
I just got prescriptions from my GP for the pneumococcal and RSV vaccines because it turns out that I qualify. Anything I can get vaccinated for I do, because fuck antivaxxers.
I know someone who is a 60 year old smoker who went and lied to public health that she was a sex worker to get the MPOX vaccine, which makes me laugh, but i wouldn’t mind it myself because you can get it touching surfaces.
Honestly, I’ve been pawing through the list of medical conditions that let you still be eligible for the new covid booster. I have something that I think will qualify. But my funnier goto is that depression is one of the eligible conditions. And nothing makes me more depressed than an anti-science quack running our vaccine system!
Oh wow, I can just go get one. Ha. I plan on it next weekend in fact. Gosh the US is just a zippy little death march these days.
My grandfather only lived to be a father because of the polio vaccine. Even my stepmother had polio in the fucking womb… it ate her kneecaps… she became a dancer to build leg muscle strength. My family has a valid, empirical respect for vaccines. I am a nurse and when I was young, I passed on the flu shots… until I got the flu… and found out what that hell was, I wasn’t sure if I would survive it. After that, I will get every flu shot offered, I take every Covid Booster, I go the shingles vax and next year, I will be eligible for the RSV shot. I am getting them all, like Pokeman.
Nurses not getting vaccinated is an unreal phenomenon, isn’t it? I work in a hospital, and some nurses who worked with COVID ECMO patients refused the COVID vaccine and got let go. How could you look at these people withering away and not want to be protected?
The flu shot is super important. I read about a preteen boy in Ohio whose parents didn’t get him vaccinated, and he got influenza, and immediately got bacterial pneumonia and died, and his mother is wailing about how fast it all happened. Um, it didn’t need to happen at all, they don’t give them out for fun! I’ve thankfully never had it myself.
As someone working in a hospital, how are you not on every vaccine, especially those for world travelers? If someone picks up something unusual from a different part of the world, they will be going to the hospital, they will be exposing you to it
And they have no real reason for it ever. It just seems to be obstinate behaviour because they don’t want to be told what to do.
Not just not getting vaccinated but actively promoting ng against it. They should be fired immediately. All the other so called medical professionals who take that track as well.
They were all fired, or got it under duress. Canada isn’t like this.
Bullshit. I am a former paramedic in Canada. I know loads of supposed healthcare workers who avoided COVID shots and still happily work their jobs spreading the disease of stupidity today.
Well not where I live.

Also, these people will take paracetamol with no questions asked.
If I am the head of department of health, I would order a candid infomercial along the motif of “you wouldn’t steal a car, you wouldn’t pirate” but it goes “you don’t question paracetamol. Why do you question vaccines?”
They’re terrified of a (usually) dead virus/other bug in a tiny vial but will do ozempic, massive doses of ivermectin and god knows what else lol
Anyone around here have actual experience with ozempic? My dr has actuality suggested it for a potential heart issue, to help clear up the system i guess. But everyone online talks about it like it’s heroine
I’ll bite. I’m on it for what some people here would consider “recreational” purposes (weight loss). However, I have polycystic ovaries and have had extreme difficulty losing weight in other ways. Essentially the only way I can lose weight is doing a pretty severe calorie deficit, which is really hard to do and essentially means I am starving all the time. Ozempic has helped me curb that perpetual feeling of hunger, and besides diarrhea (which I already had often anyway), it hasn’t caused me that many side effects.
Essentially PCOS causes a craving for carbs and sugar. It’s hard to fill that hole, but there are other ways to supplement the things that my body is not creating which make me crave those things. While I’m on ozempic (I don’t plan on using it long-term) I’m also working to make changes to my diet to make sure I’m getting those things I was missing (B12, chromium picolante, some other stuff with scientific names).
And I know people think it’s just “lazy”, which it is for some people, but I struggle to lose weight even with exercise and calorie deficits. Ozempic has helped me lose some, but not as drastic as other people.
I have friends who are on waygovy (the same drug as ozempic but specifically targeted at weight loss) and they’ve had more side effects than me, but they are significantly bigger, have less healthy lifestyles and are I believe on a much higher dose than me. They’ve lost a ton of weight though.
I’m basically at the line of pre diabetic so the doc wants something to jumpstart me off the line, i definitely need to make changes but I would love the help to get going. I tend to intermittent fast but when I do eat it’s junk. Most people don’t get it but it’s akin to any addiction. Most times you don’t realize you’re binging till after, so something that can kill my cravings would be lovely
I haven’t done the type of deep dive research others mention here but I trusted my doctor when he told me this was a good choice for me. I also don’t live in the US so have no reason to believe he’s being paid off. If there are worse consequences than what I’ve discussed with him already, I guess I’ll have to deal with that.
There are also non-medicinal ways to treat binge eating, and I’ve known people that have had good success with therapy/CBT for that, in case that’s something you can afford or are interested in.
My ex is on one of those for blood sugar. She’s not losing weight but she said it made a significant difference controlling her blood sugar.
On the other hand her Dad is also on one of those for blood sugar but he’s never hungry and forgets to eat for days so has lost too much weight. It’s to the point where the doctor said anything he wants, load him up on chips and ice cream if necessary to get him back to a healthy weight
Im like 190lbs and have high blood sugar. I see guys twice my size eating cheeseburgers and they don’t get it. Doctor told me it’s generic for me, but it doesn’t help that I smoke weed and eat all my kids cereal at 1am
My wife has been on wegovy for about 3 months now, which is supposed to be similar. It’s ok, I guess. Still ramping up to the full amount and there was one week of really bad digestion issues, but the rest has been fine. She feels full way quicker, and if you go over that amount, you start to feel nauseous, so you stop. Problem is she hasn’t really done much else to help it. Still eating the same and hasn’t introduced more exercising to help. So far, loss is around 15 lbs, but it’s kind of sitting steady around this for a bit now.
Try to get her to eat vitamin k1 and/or k2 if you can. It will help her feel like exercising and moving more
Thanks, I’ll use that for my own knowledge!
Sure or let her know. That’s like cheese, yogurt, eggs, dark leafy greens (best source), or natto if she can handle it haha.
My ex was on it for diabetes, and it caused gastroparesis in him and he ended up hospitalized for 12 days. His digestion has never been the same, and he’s in a class action lawsuit against the makers of Ozempic because it’s a side effect that they didn’t disclose.
Before going on Ozempic, read up on current medical research (not Facebook or such shit). They discovered some not-so-good long term effects recently.
Like many medications, you are balancing the risks of continuing with an unmedicated health problem or any negative side effects of the medication.
But with Ozempic there is some serious long-term shit going on, which is bad, as you basically have to take this stuff forever or bounce back hard faster than you saying “supersize this burger meal”.
It hospitalized my ex for 12 days. The side effects are real. He’s in a class action suit against the company.
Truth is that everyone is an individual and side effects will happen with any drug. He unfortunately, experienced a debilitating one but there are millions who do not experience that. So, it is true, he is unlucky but I have seen so many patients who decide to go ahead because they just don’t believe they will be that small percentage to experience the bad ones.
It actually is more complex than that and the makers of Ozempic didn’t disclose this side effect.
I think most medications are meant to be accompanied with permanent lifestyle changes where possible. No, you should not take this drug “forever”. If you take ozempic for weight loss but choose to continue eating like shit then it isn’t the drug’s fault. Assuming of course there isn’t some other medical disorder leading to weight gain, but again, balancing the negative health effects of obesity vs any negative effects of weight loss drugs needs to be examined by patient and physician.
If you take ozempic for weight loss but choose to continue eating like shit then it isn’t the drug’s fault.
That’s not how it works. Ozempic simply opresses the hunger feeling, therefor helping you lose weight. Problem is that still existing, but empty/depleted fat cells basically scream “we are hungry”, so as soon as you get off Ozempic, you basically can’t stop eating until you regained at least the former state. That was - for me - the reason not to start on Ozempic, it’s like the “bounce back” effect after a diet, but on steroids. That current research has found other issues (heart problems, ocular nerve damages) just enforced my rejection (I was offered this on a free prescription base).
I think most medications are meant to be accompanied with permanent lifestyle changes where possible. No, you should not take this drug “forever”.
That is a very idealistic view, at least on some medication. With Ozempic, this is basically impossible due to the circumstances written above, with other medications it is simply due to the fact that no “lifestyle changes” can change e.g. genetic defects.
Because weight gain is from not having enough vitamins or a correct balance of vitamins. Taking fat soluble vitamins (esp E&K1&coq10) made me lose weight and exercise more without trying.
You completely ignored the “permanent lifestyle change” aspect. It doesn’t matter whether the person in need of weight loss does it via diet and exercise or via diet and ozempic, the diet/lifestyle that they got themselves fat on has to change.
You’re basically blaming the drug for the person’s inability to psychologically deal with diet. That isn’t what the drug does. No, you don’t need to eat back to your old weight, that’s the part where permanent change to diet comes in.
I already stated a caveat for conditions that may be outside the user’s control, so don’t use that as an excuse for all users. Yet again, the doctor and patient have to discuss the risks. I’m done here.
You’re basically blaming the drug for the person’s inability to psychologically deal with diet.
No, I don’t. I’m just stating facts on how the human body works. With extreme willpower you might be able to counter this for a time, yes. But it will be a serious uphill battle, and the messenger chemicals from the depleted fat cells do not just stop because you will them to. You will just have to live in a state of perpetual raving hunger then. The few who can successfully overcome this for a significant time are rare, indeed.
That’s… Not a side effect.
That’s from people losing weight on their normal diet because of Ozempic, but never changing their diet for their new lower weight selves, so naturally they immediately gain it back.
That’s… Not a side effect.
No, it is just the way this drug works. You take Ozempic, it supresses your hunger feeling, and you automatically change your diet as you are not as hungry anymore.
Problem is that the depleted fat cells still exist, and a depleted fat cell releases signals that scream “I’m hungry! Feed me!”, and the more they are depleted, the louder the call. While you take Ozempic, this is supressed, but as soon as you get off it, your body demands food to re-fill the depleted cells, and will not stopping before it has reached at least the former status quo.
Just like the bounce back effect after a diet, only worse.
I’ve seen several successes and I wouldn’t believe every story you hear in these forums. The data shows it’s relatively safe with minimal serious secondary effects. That doesn’t mean nothing to manage at all. Just like statins for cholesterol.
Ozempic and variants are also considered short term. They essentially short circuit the desire for vices, but are only effective for about a year. You either relearn your habits or you’ll eventually revert. If you are in ozempic for 2 years on weight loss you’ve likely ignored your doctor.
I’ve been on tirzepatide for maybe three months at this point. I highly recommend it. I think the risks are massively overblown. It’s predictable fear-mongering that is simply an understandable reaction to how greedy the pharma companies are with their pricing on it. If you can’t afford it, it’s tempting to convince yourself it would be a bad thing to take it anyway.
I can’t afford it, but instead of spreading FUD about it, I found a third way. I just pirate the shit out of it! I’m not just taking tirz, I’m taking bootleg tirz! So far I’ve dropped from about 180 to 150.
I’m on Mounjaro for diabetes, have lost 35 pounds in two months. It’s a tool, with potential side effects, but for me it has been a huge jump-start for a lot of neglected health issues and overall energy levels.
I remember seeing this video where someone tearfully explained they got osteoporosis from being on it for a year.
