Darn, thought I found a way to keep a couple screws around for emergencies. Ahh, they’d probably loosen and I’d run the chance of becoming….hmmm on the other hand maybe a screwdriver would stick.

whom I have been going to for over a decade. She's someone I liked personally..She strongly opposed Trump, and I had no idea she was this gullible. It started a big argument, the first we've had in our long
relationship.

I believe it has more to do with mental illness then anything else.

isn't it mostly the RW that's bought into the Covid Anti-Vax paranoia?

My mom is vaccinated, the friend isn't. My mom's a good sport, so she played along. The phone call went something like this:

Friend: You have magnets on the refrigerator. Go hold one on your arm where you got your shot.
Mom: OK. Now what?
Friend: Let go.
Mom: It fell on the floor.
Friend: Try a different one!
Mom: That one fell on the floor, too.
Friend: Are you sure you have the right arm?
Mom: Yes. We drove through and I was on the passenger side both times.
Friend: Well try it again.
Mom: It fell on the floor again.
Friend: (to her spouse in the background) She says it won't stick!
Friend: I'm going to send you the video so you don't think we're crazy.

My mom watched the video, and she says she still thinks her friend is crazy.
