The Parliament building from my old home town, and the flag. Conservatives are nuts everywhere.

People are promoting the idea that 1,223 people died in clinical trials of the Pfizer vaccine.
Had never heard that one, must circulate in right wing circles only. Anyone heard that one?

to finally get it right.

I heard Donald Trump supervised the entire project and pointed out to Gates where he had slipped up during the trials.

After implementing Trump's rigorously tested improvements, the Pfizer vaccine was finally approved by the FDA and not one more life was lost thanks to Donald Trump's COVID-19 vaccine.

I did see the "Pfizer is only 12% effective" canard, though. What none of them bothered to point out was that this was only the case for young children during the Omicron outbreak, not everyone, as they were claiming. Christ Almighty, these people are ignorant and gullible.

I saw the Pfizer claims trending on Friday, only to discover it was mainly among Canadian RWNJs. They're going through another round of the crazy regarding COVID. The trucker clowns are back, and Tim Horton's is requiring vaccinations at their summer camps for underprivileged kids, among other things, so they're having another round of conniptions. Canada has their own Stupidville, too.
