  • The covid cult in one video

    Aussies, you've gone full blown koolaide drinking. Not that I care because I don't live there, just sayin...


    Anyway, if you want to know what a cult is, all I got to say is just watch the video in the link. The CREEPIEST video I've ever seen since the slew of creepy pro-vax videos were released awhile ago.

      LOL, that video turned pretty dark towards the end. Didn't really see that coming.

        When I initially saw the video on social media, I had to search for the source and make sure it wasn't just a troll posting twisted satire.

          That does it. I'm a believer! Where do I sign up?
          The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

            I was intrigued to read this thread from American nurses noting that the unvaccinated patients they're seeing lately aren't surviving. It seems like the delta strain is just so much more deadly. I guess that's why the Australian nurse in the OP was upset. (I note in the recent small outbreak in NZ, there's been a big difference with delta in that it's affecting younger people way more severely than previous strains of the virus, and we're seeing a high proportion of the hospitalizations from people under 40.)

            But generally research shows people don't respond nearly as much to the severity of a threat as they do to what they perceive as the likelihood of it. This is one reason harsher penalties for crime serve as am effective deterrent for criminals, whereas increasing the perceived likelihood of getting caught is a huge deterrent. So the video would do better to focus on the financial cost of being hospitalized with covid which most people in America are going to be able to relate to and view as a reasonable probability, and compare the free vaccine to the financial burden on people's families of hospitalization. Of course, the video is Australian, which has a Medicare for all system, so you couldn't make such a video in Australia.

              Interesting how you didn't mention that they're ICU nurses dealing with patients with multiple comorbidities, which adds a different spin to the conversation, but that (I assume deliberate) omission is exactly the sort of scare tactics we expect to see from COVID cultists. Also in the Reddit thread is a double vaccinated nurse who contacted Delta and is so sick that she can barely even stand.

                Another thing that's rather striking in that Reddit thread from ICU nurses is how callously they mock the idea of treating patients with therapeutics, even when it's being specifically requested by the patients and their families. It seems they would much rather condemn those under their care to death by ventilator. Is this the state of US healthcare, that those who are supposed to care for our well-being would rather see us die than offer treatment?

                  Hospitals get more money if people die from Covid.

                      And companies like Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson get more money from selling experimental "jabs" than from promoting treatments using tried and true medications that have been around for decades.
