How concerned should we be about the "shedding vaccine" conspiracy?

It is such obvious bullshit, but it seems to be gaining a foothold among the nut jobs. And, I mean, if people are that unhinged about someone else choosing to wear a mask… how unhinged are they gonna be if they feel you’re physically a threat to them and their kids because you got the vaccine and it could contaminate them or make them or their kids infertile? Not that we haven’t lived with them endangering us and our health for over a year, but I am hearing more stories recently about people cutting off loved ones cause “you got the vaccine” There was the private school in Florida that basically said they would not continue to employ any teacher who got the vaccine. It’s been crazy scary for a while… but this feels next level. Is this becoming more widespread or is it a more limited issue that’s getting attention?

1. Maybe it will keep the anti-vaxxers away from us.

3. First I've heard of it...figures tho

flat-earthers, conspiracy junkies, climate deniers...they really dont have a lot of brain cells to rub together.

I actually will continue to wear my mask for a while yet anyway, and my second shot is Friday.

4. I think it is highly likely one of those nuts will shoot someone because of it.

The combination of assholery, ignorance/delusions, and guns always leads to shootings.

5. Perhaps they're equating it to the viral shedding of their herpes.

6. I sometimes think that these people revel in their ignorance.

Maybe it's an act meant to get attention. It's hard to believe that anyone can be this f**king stupid.
