    In Appalachia, it was unlikely to not know someone on a vent or dead from Covid, yet…

      Fox News tells you not to believe your eyes, and conservatives trust Fox News more than their own eyes.

        I didn’t see anybody die of covid. 2 relatives died after getting the shot tho, of apparently unrelated cause.

        Tell me what to believe.

          Believe the mass graves and filled ERs.

              You’re not alone. I also didn’t see either of those things, or know anyone that died from it.

              I’m also not denying those things exist, I’m simply affirming your reality.

              I guess you can’t see if your eyes are closed.

      I knew three people who died from COVID and another after they recovered from COVID, unfortunately unless it’s their direct family they would just assume ‘theyre just making it all out to be covid’

      I assume most people would blame social media for this, but here’s my c/unpopularopinions take, it’s inevitable with a profit oriented news platform, where they try to scaremonger in both ‘we are all going to die’ and ‘government is putting chips in our bloodstream’ directions

      In other nations, unless a blunder by government policy, they werent as affected by the anti vaccine shenanigans, even though they were as affected by social media and such

        Dude my grandmother died of Covid in August pf 2020, and yet my father and his sister who is a nurse and gave her the dease arge to this day weather covid is bullshit or not. AT HER funeral they argued about mask mandates. Maga brains will watch millions die from covid, and polio and still call it fake news.
