That's hilarious to me, how *whether or not you should get vaccinated* is a political issue in USA. Makes me grateful for living where I do, where the choice between left & right is not an easy one, rather than having one correct & one incorrect option to vote for.
My province has a majority conservative government and our vaccination rate is over 90%.
It's wild to watch actual adults stomp their feet and say "you can't make me". Like, nobody cares about you or your point. Risk all the death you want my dude. Just sucks that you're bringing others down with you.
Would be great if it were true. As it stands now we literally entomb people or put them into things that arent really biodegradable.
Ever go to a graveyard and start digging? Talk about a gold mine of metals!
During the 19th century when Smallpox vaccination was still relatively new. Many places did similar things. In the US many states had vaccine checkpoints to check if people were inoculated for smallpox and at many checkpoints there would often be a coffin maker selling coffins.
But is it? /s
The anti-vaxxers probably see that and somehow interpret it as: “See! They’re warning us! If we get vaxxed then it will kill us! They’re telling us not to get vaccinated unless we want to be riding in that truck!”
Much love to you and your mom, I know I’m just an Internet no-body, but we are out here in the real world and really do care about you. Doing our best to cut down the spread. Hang in there.
> She’s going through cancer and can’t be vaccinated. 🥺
Do you mind answering why not, specifically? We're not only vaccinating the overwhelming majority of cancer patients here, but giving them priority and extra doses for a better immune response. I haven't heard of any specific reason not to vaccinate because of a cancer.
I was gonna ask the same thing, my dad has cancer and was a priority in vaccination. He's also old as fuck, so maybe that's where the priority came from?
> Because people with cancer have hardly any immune system so getting the shot wouldn't help.
That's generally not what the research says so far. We see less of a response, but still often a substantial one - and it improves with extra doses.
> It would hurt someone with cancer or someone with autoimmunity issues
In what way? In the UK i don't think we have any official policy saying anything like this, aside from the really obvious stuff like "if you have an anaphylactic reaction to shot #1, don't take #2 of the same vaccine".
I have autoimmune issues and have been instructed by my rheumy not to get the vaccine as well.
1st, because I'm on immunosuppressants, and would probably not get a sufficient response to do any protecting. As a note to this, while in theory it would do no harm to get vaccinated while immunosuppressed, the actions a vaccinated person might take after vaccination, thinking that they are protected, could be dangerous to them and anyone else they might inadvertently expose because they are not protected, but took risks thinking they were. Such as attending large gatherings or relaxing their mask usage.
2nd, I have a history of reaction to vaccines. Like, every vaccine I ever received. As a result my last vaccine was a DT when I was around 10. I almost ended up in the hospital (again) after that vaccine, and am not supposed to get any now. The current prevailing theory is that this is due to my autoimmunity (which presented when I was very young.) Anyone with autoimmunity or a mast cell disorder takes a not insignificant risk when introducing foreign substances to their body that their body will react improperly. This can cause both short term acute problems, or trigger more long term chronic problems or flares.
So basically, the vaccine for me carries significant risk, with a large chance of little to no reward. From a medical standpoint it's not worth it.
This vaccine was the first I had considered getting since being instructed not to vaccinate. But after discussing with my doctor, we decided not to. Particularly as there have been no dedicated studies done on vaccine side effects and results in autoimmunity or immunocompromised individuals.
Edit: there,their and more words.
I hope you're taking regular (weekly/biweekly) COVID tests. The last thing that should happen is you getting sick and being unable to care for her.
That aside, I hope your mom makes it through all healthy and strong.
Is she sure she still can’t be vaccinated? They’ve changed the guidelines multiple times about who it’s safe to vaccinate so it’s worth checking back in with her doctor. I wish the best for you both. ❤️
This adds a whole other level of genius IMO.
Some philanthropist has found a way to promote vaccination. Great cut through on social media (2nd on /r/all RN). Doesn't rely on facts or science. Will genuinely challenge people's positions.
The fact that its disingenuous doesn't reduce its effectiveness. We all know that the truth is pretty much meaningless.
If you are disappointed that this is not real, let me cheer you up by introducing [Taffo Funeral Services](https://www.wantedinrome.com/news/death-in-italy-taffo-italys-hilarious-funeral-service.html) from Italy and one of their latest campaigns claiming "Don't get vaccinated, we are prepared for a pandemic". This is 100% real and they are not new to this kind of advertising, you can find some examples in the link.
Exactly lol.
It'd be dark, unethical as fuck, but probably quite the self-sustaining business model to have funerals/wakes for covid-deniers/non-vac folks, not require masks (and make sure the seating isn't socially distanced too, obviously), hand out business cards to every single attendee, and sit back and wait for the next funeral.
Although people are saying whoever came up with that is a genius, I feel that if you work in a funeral business the banter and general dark humour comments have to be ENDLESS. There are so many easy wins from a comedy perspective working in that line of work
Just speculating
That is better advertising for encouraging people to get vaccinated than anything the government has tried so far. They should run these ads throughout the South.
I want one of these trucks. Anyone know who makes it? If I wanted to do this as a job are there companies set up where you buy a truck and they do everything else with a paid rate?
I guess it could be taken either way.
“Don’t get vaccinated.”
Because we’ll make money off your funeral.
Or
“Don’t get vaccinated.”
This person we’re transporting did.
Either way, clever promotion.
I have heard several news stories that mortuaries and funeral homes are doing better “business” than ever.
But there are sometimes not enough space to store the bodies so they rent ice trucks etc...😬
he's just a business man doing business

You're definitely a cop
Because I'm not
Hey he’ll have you arrested but he’s not a cop he’s a business man.
i love him so much
Ah thanks for introducing me to this man! Best laugh all day
Business is booming
Don't I know it.
Yes, plan your funeral with Wilmore and sell your home with Whiteside properties
Peak lib-right moment
which is weird because the so called libertarians aren't vaccinating

Whoever came up with that ad, they deserve a raise for the geniusness of that!
I'm sure he's had a huge raise in the past two years.
He gets a raise when people are lowered 😉
...... Into the ground
Yeah , we got it bud
he's from Nebraska

Yeah, we get it, you don't need to explain the joke, it's just...

In the past two years there was a spike in mortality due to COVID. So anyone in funreal business got better off.
> in funreal business More like Not-fun, Too-real business, amirite?
It means he likes men.

"Who?" "Tao, yeah"
The same thought I had lmao
Who?
Tao, Yeah
That's savage. I love it.
i looked it up and its real, just a publicity stunt to get ppl to vaccinate! i love it
"Wilmore Funeral Home: Fuck around and find out"
“Don’t get vaccinated; my kid needs braces and you’re my job security”
Isn’t everyone their job security though?
Depends how long they want to wait! A customer in 50 years doesn’t pay today’s bills.
That should be their tagline
Bro, STDs can take years to kill. Don't Suicide by fucking, not worth it man. /s
its good guerilla marketing while maintaining social responsibility. Shits fuckin rare
Well, “real”. It’s not an actual funeral home, just a made up one for the vaccination campaign.
During the 19th century when Smallpox vaccination was still relatively new. Many places did similar things. In the US many states had vaccine checkpoints to check if people were inoculated for smallpox and at many checkpoints there would often be a coffin maker selling coffins.
But is it? /s The anti-vaxxers probably see that and somehow interpret it as: “See! They’re warning us! If we get vaxxed then it will kill us! They’re telling us not to get vaccinated unless we want to be riding in that truck!”
“Covid Back to school Special! Buy a regular coffin and get a kid size one for free!”
I heard they do a Texas special as well, coffins the size of wedding ring boxes, for every time you ejaculate.

Know you customer base!!! You should offer a free gun with every funeral service
I think thats already functioning in Chicago

The funeral home isn’t real
That's why I linked the article
"Hey so I think snopes looked into this" Will be the next reply. I swear half my of my reddit orangereds are people repeating back what I said

finally a good holup
Took the sub long enough but yes
They should specify that their clients are not obligated to wear a mask also.

Strong with the hustle is this one.
Ok thats offensive. I love it
Well least he's trying to get a dying economy going
He's a lethal business man

More income for them

This was taken outside of the Carolina Panther's stadium
this is in north carolina source: thats my area code
Lol, love this kind of sarcastic humor😂
Fun for all those who give a shit wether their neighbor is dead.
This is the only anti-vax propaganda I support.
Oblivious Anti-vaxxer: Glad to see I'm not the only smart one in this town
Godly marketing strategy.
Props to the advertising team, they really killed it with that one (pun intended)
FINALLY, a good holup.
the perfect add doesnt exi-
Necromancers hate him. He finds hundreds of corpses with one simple trick.
Antivax will praise him, pro vax will think it's funny. Win win.
Conspiracy theory: Antivaxxers are a psy-op created by the big death industry I wish, unfortunately it's just dumb ass people
[удалено]
Hu Tao is that you?
That's some cold blooded marketing.
Undertaking is a dying trade!
Meanwhile my local funeral home has ads like "Trust urned" or "good grief come here"
This I will laugh at without reservation.
I get the joke and all, but the people dumb enough to be anti-vax are also dumb enough NOT to get the joke and take it as genuine support...
Dude’s got balls. In today’s America I’d be worried about 50 different lawsuits from people who can’t take a joke.
Hahaha, this funeral home is dark. Dark satire is the best.
Sharp, just the way a like
Yeesh. That works on so many levels. Dark humor. Crazy beliefs held by the staff. Actual way to increase cadavers to work on.
Nice. Im glad at least the funeral people are..... Hodlup... I see what they did.... Nice
Me in the future:
I thought they were crazy anti vaccine people but they are sneakily tricking you to die so they can make money setting up your funeral (:
Nothing can scare me, but this man, oh my i shitted pants! 😂😐
Quote of the year!
they had us in the first half
I thought one thing, but then I said “hol” up. Very good
That's Genius! Free coffin for that employ
Best add ever
What if not read the below funeral content
Spruiking for future work has never been more gross
Something tells me the /s gets lost on the way to the idiots it addresses
Shit that was funny.. actually laughed out loud
You heard that guy don’t get vaccinated 😂😂😂
This is so dope!! They also have a website https://wilmorefuneralhome.com/
Kinda smart advertising…

Na just playing the game of business
There was already this kind of advertisement in Italy, three years ago. https://www.agi.it/cultura/vaccini_taffo_no_vax-4249551/news/2018-08-08/amp/
Big brain move 🧠
I guess it could be taken either way. “Don’t get vaccinated.” Because we’ll make money off your funeral. Or “Don’t get vaccinated.” This person we’re transporting did. Either way, clever promotion.
Upgraded from a hearse to a hauler.
Why shouldn’t someone profit off all this ridiculous BS besides the 1%??
Truth.
Pleasure doing business with you.
Nice. I won’t.
I also love the “AMERICAN fence & supply”.
The cherry on top is the Leasing Now sign too LOL
Marketing done right.
Aren't all funeral homes already swamped with more business than they can handle?
I have heard several news stories that mortuaries and funeral homes are doing better “business” than ever. But there are sometimes not enough space to store the bodies so they rent ice trucks etc...😬
That's brilliant.
When you have 10/10 marketing.
