Yes. Yes you are.

At this point I'd have taken his money and then get the vaccine anyways. Willful idiots like him don't deserve my sympathy or compassion.

Gets a lot of hits though. Money!!!!!

You can make up to 20K for a very popular video. They used to not pay money, But as they got popular, money followed.

Making fun of "guy who uncritically believes stuff he saw on the internet" while uncritically believing stuff they see on the internet. As long as the material affirms your opinions, then it's true - that's the gold standard of critical analysis of "internet information".

It's like the aliens in Galaxy Quest believing Gilligan's Island was a documentary.

have been watching lots of video before I go to sleep and now realizing so many people are performing. That really blows my mind. I was watching one last night about a woman catching husband with another woman and it took me a second to realize but it pisses me off they waste my time with this poor acting drama filled stuff.

Sounds as if the whole family does too. And he doesn’t realize how much dumber he will look to them when they don’t die by next flue season.
Take the money and don’t tell him.

such as what he was drawn into should be a huge crime with very severe penalties. And families and other victims should be able to sue for their damages.

Reminds me of the centuries-old legal principle in English Common Law, adopted into our own system, and no doubt found in most others, that you take your victim as you find him. Scare someone who drops dead of a heart attack as a result, you're liable for the death even if you didn't know he had a bad heart.

They believe that those who get vaccinated will die after a short period of time - was 3 to 6 months, but that might be extended.

Or they believe that the vaccine makes women sterile, again after a delayed reaction.

These beliefs are pretty common among the Qanon followers. There are plenty of these videos on, for example, bitchute.com.
