Twitter COVIDiocy: Spamming is not Winning

A while back, someone made a remark "I don't know of anyone with vaccine injury" on Twitter.

I replied that "ever notice it's usually antivaxxer's friends or family that have those alleged vaccine injuries?"

Then an antivaxxer dropped a Snopes-verified bogus entry "Pfizer victim" and claim "people don't start antivax, we start because we saw our loved ones suffer"

You saw a BOGUS suffering that NO ONE can verify, eh? 

So I pointed out his bogosity and linked to Snopes debunking the one he linked. 

Guess what he did next? 

He spammed 20+ more other alleged vaccine injuries, while claiming "only fully vaxxed have problems". 

Edit: Make that 37. 

The only treatment you'll get is "mute". I'm not going to debate you and waste my time when you don't give a **** about evidence and science, by leading off with a bogus vaccine death. 

Leading off with a snopes-verified bogus entry. Really smart you are (not), antivaxxer. 

Oh, AND you're getting reported. 

Antivax COVIDiocy: How Antivaxxers Argue By Bullshitting with Disinformation

The way antivaxxers argue is by flooding you with disinformation trying to convince you are wrong or you don't know what you're talking about. Don't be fooled. Here's my recent engagement with one such. 

I was replying to The Real Truther who was commenting on some idiotic tweet by Daniel Kotzin about how to get out of the pandemic is to surrender and refuse vaccines. I said it will flood the hospitals like the earliest days of COVID where Wuhan, China ended up a ghost city. 

Then comes Farmer J who claimed natural immunity will be fine, and vaccines are too stupid to handle variants. Which is simply not true, at least not completely true. (Pfizer said 2 shots + booster will handle Omicron, while Moderna said they need another shot)  So I clapped back with facts and logic. 

Farmer J isn't receptive to the truth though, as he replied with irrelevant mentions and derision, continuing to claim "natural immunity" is superior to vaccines. He also claimed some wild time-traveling stuff about Moderna had worked on Omicron for MONTHS when it was discovered in late November (only a few weeks ago)  I replied with facts and citation vaccine immunity is STRONGER than disease-derived immunity. Actual studies say so. 

His reply was somewhat surprising... He claims the study was discredited. Not that he produced any evidence of such. But he goofed, as he just revealed that he is not backed by any facts. He actually used debunked misinformation... that PCR test was ending. It's not. So I called him out on it with proof. 

He had not continued any response to this tweet chain in the past 24 hours. 

From what I can tell, he seems to reside north of the border. Guess he got tired of commenting on snow and such so he replied to stuff he didn't like with lies, backed by even more lies, and just act haughty "lol" every tweet pretending to know more than he does. 

He had used multiple tactics of top bullshitters. He acted arrogantly confident, pointed at his supposed successes ("my natural immunity"), and claimed esoteric knowledge ("this one is mocked") , hoping we wouldn't challenge him. 

It's basically one antivax talking point after another. And if you are not versed in this sort of tactics, and/or be quick on Google and/or understand science, you may be snookered by all that disinformation. 

Don't be a COVIDiot and believe antivaxxer bullshit. 

More COVIDiocy: Nicki Minaj the Twitter Liar?

 Nicki Minaj made news when she posted why she's "doing my own research" regarding COVID vaccines and chose not to attend the Met gala because it requires all celebrities to be vaccinated. Then she really stepped in it when she tweeted that her cousin's friend had swollen balls from vaccine and his fiance called off the wedding. 

COVID experts all over the world replied "no way", and "my cousin's friend" became the latest meme to hit the Internet. 

Now even her home country (Trinidad) Health Minister came out to refute the story. Yes, they spent a whole day trying to run the story down. It's global news. It even got a hashtag #ballgate

Strike one. 

Then Nicki Minaj posted that the White House invited her to have a chat. 

Which was immediately debunked by CNN... Apparently White House offered her a chance to talk to one of their doctors to explain COVID and the COVID vaccine.

Strike two. 

Now, Nicki claims that she can't Tweet anymore because Twitter had blocked her. A screenshot of what appears to be Instagram was shared. 

There has been no verification from Twitter. However, Vulture reported that a spokesperson for Twitter said "Twitter did not take any enforcement action on the account referenced". 

https://twitter.com/vulture/status/1438291904307806209?s=20

Oh-oh... Strike three. 

What's far more likely is her manager and agent, seeing what sort of PR disaster she had gotten herself into, took away her account access, but that's just a theory. 

Anyone who got on Tucker Carlson Show, without checking what sort of person Tucker Carlson is, is not someone I would follow or respect. Carlson is famous for using his show to tell people "CDC is lying to you" mainly by dumpster-diving VAERS. And guess who got invited to the Carlson show? Yep, Nicki Minaj. The two aligned only because of their COVID vaccine denialism. 

Let's not forget that Carlson believed that #blacklivesmatter was NOT about black lives, but rather an excuse to come after your rights... It lead to such a backlash that a dozen advertising sponsors quit. Carlson was one of the few people who believed that the January 6th Insurrection was a false-flag operation by the FBI. He's basically Alex Jones with half the craziness. Not to mention he believed just about every conspiracy theory that hurts the GOP in some way or makes the Dems look good, of which there are way too many to list. 

But that's enough ranting about two people I don't give a flying f*** about. 

Don't be a COVIDiot, like these two. 

Why Do People use Pictures Not of Them in Social Profiles Any Way?

People are picking pictures of criminals, porn stars, and so on, as their social media profile pix.

Don't they know they look stupid doing so?
