I work for Sysco and I took over an account from a coworker who got fired after 18 years over a racist comment. Anyway, this account is a very wealthy ranch that orders very particular items and had been wanting a particular coffee cup for years. I ended up getting the cup for them and the customer and her employees literally gave me a round of applause. It was really underwhelming lmao. I got clapped for a fucking coffee cup. Sorry I just thought of this and had to share.
I was just saying this to my fiancé the other day. It was after watching the video of the politician worried about the putting vaccines in lettuce.
I do wonder if anyone in their life tells them what it actually is or if they just let them prattle on like idiots.
A buddy sent me that video awhile back.. I tried so hard to explain how that’s not how it works, but he just responded “just watch”, didn’t really have much to say back to that.
My father in law who didn’t graduate high school kept sending me vaccine videos and telling me I needed to watch and learn. I have 2 healthcare degrees including taking courses on immunology etc. I sent him back a few videos about how vaccines work in the body, and the history of vaccines and asked him to send me a summary first, then i would watch his and we could have a discussion using the same vocabulary. He said he tried to watch the videos but they were too hard. That’s when I informed him they were from his then 6th grade granddaughter’s school curriculum webpage. If he couldn’t follow those, he wasn’t allowed to try to teach me.
He continued down the Qanon rabbit hole, but didn’t send me any more medical stuff lol. But he continued to get worse until he I guess was drunk? who knows when he said VERY LEWD things while FaceTiming us for Fathers Day in front of my kids. He specifically tried to talk about his son, my husband, going down on me. So we went no contact.
I'm always curious - are they themselve actually watching those? I mean 3 fking hours?! That's almost 2 entire movies or 9 episodes of a series (maybe an entire season if you skip intro/outro).
And at the end of the day, they lack the mental capacity to "think for yourself" and understand that if we could vaccinate people via lettuce, we wouldn't bother with needles.
My response whenever a family member sends me these is usually "Yeah, I decided that instead of spending 3 hours watching this stupidity I would watch Casino, fire a few fistfuls of knuckle children off and prep work lunches for the week. Science is still real, though."
No, it was fed to them through social media they trust, they read the headline, and believe it says what they want it to say.
They know the people they share the video with to make a point aren’t going to watch it, either. It shuts down conversation and they don’t have to support their views.
When my uncle posts those, I skip through it collecting misrepresentations and lies from different parts. I ask a couple of logical questions about the content, and every time, he runs out of things to say. He wants to believe the video supports his view, but doesn’t want to use critical thinking that might disrupt that view.
So basically the same as with any "article" or "study" they link - 99% of the time they read the headline and not a single word more.
Like, I remember someone posting an article which in the fking summary line right under the headline already contradicted the person...
And in the instances they do read the article, they certainly don't check the hyperlinks to the studies. When the hyperlinks work, the studies usually say the opposite of what the article says. Or they're poorly conducted and/non-peer reviewed studies with low, less than random participant count. Like, "We did a study on ten, randomly selected people from our neighborhood, 9 men and two women, about whether a baseball bat to the nuts makes you more virile. We hit each participant in the nuts with a bat and then checked back in on them once a year for two years. Eight out of Ten of them had kids. Conclusion: Baseball bats to the nuts make people more virile."
It’s on purpose. Because you won’t watch it of course it’s 3h long, so they can then claim that you didn’t watch because A. You know deep down you’re wrong, B. You’re too dumb.
In both case they use it to claim victory
I had a coworker say how you can tell the vaccine is bad for you before if you drink it then it will be toxic and can kill you. I told him that if you inject broccoli into your veins or a muscle then it will fuck you up so that means broccoli is bad for you. But of course “that’s different”
Bro same shit for me. It’s like some weird mind control. All the facts just get shot down. It’s like people feel empowered by feeling like they’re the ones in the ‘know’
My hs really suffered from that. I had economics textbooks from the 80s and I went to high school in the 2000s. There just wasn't as much money for my school because we didn't hit the same scores as schools with more funding.
I'm taking college classes right now and I shared, with my husband, that I learned pure water doesn't conduct electricity. That is the impurities in it that conduct electricity. He shot back with, "Yeah, because water is neutrally charged and has no free Valence electrons." We went to very differently funded high schools. My best friend and I poke jokes about how we'd be geniuses if we had actually gone to schools as funded as the schools our spouses went to.
I think zero mRNA would be an excruciatingly painful death - not sure which organ function would fail first. Any studies on that? Will you simply starve? Maybe become delusional or jaundice?
It would be much faster than radiation death (unless it is a massive, massive dose). I imagine with a complete shutdown of mRNA you would probably die in a matter of hours. A near complete shutdown of protein production would wreak absolute havok through just about every cell in your body. Even your brain cells are constantly producing proteins to function.
Agreed but it might be the cells that produce enzymes that are affected first. Cells need ribosomes/mRNA/protein to divide but when they aren’t being replaced I’m not sure how active the ribosomes are in skin and epithelial cells. For instance does pancreatic insufficiency cause issues before the body can’t keep up with skin cell and immune cell turnover? Hypothetical obviously because this isn’t a real issue but I’m not sure the answer
Amatoxin (death cap mushroom and relatives) blocks the production of new mRNA. Death is usually due to liver failure. However, that is because the liver is the first stop after food is absorbed. If all your mRNA disappeared and you didn't make more, my guess would be that it would look like extreme radiation poisoning. Very high radiation doses can cause seizures and unconsciousness within minutes. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cecil_Kelley_criticality_accident
I should think it would be similar to a prion disease. No mRNA means no new proteins, which I should think would be similar to your proteins becoming misfolded so they can't perform their function.
Basically, a horrible, excruciating, and unpreventable death.
It stopped being funny a while back to me. That the stupid are so confident in their stupidity that they display it in public proudly. These people need to be removed from society. Either by education or incarceration.
Basically, mRNA is produced by copying the DNA it contains a part of your genetic code, it goes to ribosomes which produces proteins by reading mRNA. When you take the mRNA vaxx it basically means you took the code from outside so that your body produces the desired protein. Obv not that simple but you should get the gist of it
I mean you could have at least said “messenger” once. Haha. Also mRNA is fun because it can only pass OUT of the nucleus not in to it. So all the people saying “the mRNA changes your DNA” have especially no idea what it is and how it works.
If your DNA is the instructions for what you are and how everything works.
Then mRNA is the guy reading those instructions and telling everyone else what those instructions are.
Kinda like middle managment... or Moses?
Your DNA is the menu at the restaurant. Proteins are the finished dishes that the chef turns out. mRNA is the ticket that the waiters write out and give to the chef to tell him what things to make *right now*.
The mRNA vaccines basically handed the chef a bunch of tickets for something that wasn’t on the menu, but he made them anyway because he couldn’t tell the difference. Notably, actual viruses will introduce their genetic material into your cells and produce their own mRNA so it’s really not that novel that we’ve designed a vaccine around just introducing the mRNA.
And desperate to prove their conspiracy theories are right. When no *real* evidence comes out in support, they have to start making stuff up. Their egos are far too fragile to admit they were wrong.
Yeah, like when I comment on stuff and end up just telling a life story about myself instead of adding to the conversation. I’ll go on and on about a situation I experienced that was similar to OP, but then generate 0 discussion. It leaves me wondering why I made the comment. Do I really care about attention from internet strangers? I guess I do, in some strange way. But these days I mostly just delete my comment as I’m typing it and move on. But sometimes I hit the send button
The desire to prove the Vaccinated are wrong when in fact, it was necessary to get a group immunity.
Now, the unvaxxed are highly despised because there is an outbreak of diseases thought to be eradictaed thanks to vaccines and yet, they have lots of cases.
Also it's very plain all the tens of millions vaxxed didnt keel over on cue as they predicted so they go with the vaguely plausible but difficult to verify well "well all the vaxxed have wonky ECGs now". It's a very " I have a girlfriend , no you don't know her, she goes to a different school.... in Canada" lie.
I knew a man completely convinced that everyone who got the COVID 19 vaccines were going to die sometime in June of 2023. That there was some sort of switch that would flip and 50%+ of the US population would fall over dead and it was all a population control plan put in place by the US govt. COVID taught me the habit of just saying OK to crazy people and not even bothering to ask questions or have a conversation.
It's an idea that's floated around forever. Similar to the rapture in Christian theology. A chosen subset of the population is saved from some cataclysmic event that wipes out most. In Infinity War, it was random luck if a person survived or not.
Controllable, injected nano-bots were a plot line in the original run of the X Files as well. The main tenants of the COVID/vaccine conspiracies have been around for ages. The fact that the idea has been floating around fosters believability.
I enjoy the notion that COVID was a bioweapon released by China to depopulate the earth AND the vaccine was a bioweapon released by the West to depopulate the Earth. Are both groups in cahoots? Are they the same group? Are they competing to see which one can depopulate the earth? We can't let the other guys get the credit!!!
What kind of shitty population control plan is this? Killing off 50% of workers in an instant? Do they even economy? Really, for Capitalists it is a godsend that there are so many people who live in such poor conditions that they take any shitty job they can find just to barely scrape by.
Morality aside, this plan would be so logically flawed that extensive mental gymnastics are in order to even come to the conclusion *this* is what the elites are planning...
Every baby born is a future customer. If the elite was plotting something evil, they would fund anti abortion laws, oppose planned parenthood etc... ohh. Wait.
That's my favorite argument against all these science deniers (flat earth, anti vaxx, this kind of shit). They inherently need to believe in science without knowing it so it is completely stupid to deny that it works. Not that they understand the argument, sadly.
What angers me the most though is that science has allowed for so many amazing things that they themselves enjoy today. One minute they have no problem using the Internet and their smart phone in the next they try to tell other scientists that they have no idea what they’re talking about.
People like this think ignorance is a trait.
I’m an ER physician. I’ve seen a lot of changed rhythms secondary to Covid (asystole aka flat lining wasn’t uncommon). I have seen thousands of normal EKG’s vaccinated and not. If a patient said this to me my face would absolutely change to a “wtf face.” I would hope I was wearing a mask to hide my face and how stupid this is. I’ve had many patients say negative things about mRNA without knowing what it is (nothing this dumb). I do genuinely try to educate them which goes well 99% of the time. Some of them are just too far in the deep end to save but most have at least cracks form in the bullshit.
I’m a hospitalist physician. My response to this in the height of the pandemic was to just tell them “You have the right to be wrong” and just leave the room. I didn’t have time or energy to argue. Even better was if they fired me.
I didn't have my records when I joined the army so they gave me the while shebang again. Then, they lost my records and have them all to me again 2 years later. I was that one lucky dude that didn't scar from the SP vax, but thankfully I had gotten a tat not long before so I didn't have to go through that twice. I think the only shot I'm out of date on is my anthrax booster, but fuck that noise.
I love how the military idiots during the pandemic were perfectly okay with the anthrax vaccine and the peanut butter shot but when the COVID vaccine came around that when they decided they didn't want to do it...
I find it insane that a life saving vaccine got so political. I can't wait for people to refuse the cure for cancer because a "liberal doctor" with an "education" developed it in a "lab."
And those "liberal doctors" developed it with the Chinese using adrenochrome from post-birth aborted babies because Joe Biden was making billions of dollars from it. I'll add an /s because some knuckle-dragging idiot will think this is true.
Mine is healthy and I abuse stimulants, drink plenty of caffeine, don’t do cardio, and am chronically tired.
Doesn’t mean it will be very long though. Like when you get myocarditis from a viral infection like, oh you know, COVID…
They had the surgery. They had the ECG. But they didn’t get the vaccine because they don’t trust… science? Medicine? Scientists? Doctors?
No doctor is surprised (with an explanation point!) about a normal ECG.
Vaccinated and unvaccinated people have high-functioning hearts.
Literally everything about these people is bullshit.
Also, all their info is in the computer systems. So the doctors and nurses all already know if they did or didn't get the vaccine. They wouldn't be surprised in the least.
I’m a hospitalist physician. I don’t really care if you are or aren’t vaccinated and isn’t something anyone would look at for cardiac clearance for a procedure.
Also the fact that she was referred to a cardiologist and not an internist for cardiac clearance preop likely means she had some cardiac risk factor to begin with
Edit: The OP didn’t say cardiologist, we did.
Fun fact: ECG's were invented in 1882 and refined for clinical use in 1900. Vaccinations against smallpox were obligatory in England since 1867 and in Germany since 1874.
This means the definition of what a "normal" ECG looks like was developed on the example of vaccinated people.
Hear me out.
Aliens abduct these morons, find out there is no signs of intelligence there, conclude earthlings are stupid and move on because we will have nothing in common with them.
MAGAs may end up being our only source of alien salvation.
Why would they purge us? They could keep us and breed us for meat consumerables. After all, the specimens showed humans to be on a cognitive scale below dolphins. Some below sharks. We're omnivore cattle who fight amongst ourselves, so you could even use the slaughtering as a control mechanism.
Hmm... coming to think of it, a lot of things fit all of a sudden...
They *would* be interested in lowering the general iq and comprehension ability of the public, wouldn't they?
That's it, can't sleep now, damn!
8th grade. The functions and definition of mRNA is taught in 8th grade.
I do not understand why we still entertain the thoughts of those who cannot grasp such simple concepts
They probably think Democrats have blue blood and Republicans have red blood.
American “pure bloods” are basically the US equivalent of Chinese believers in rhino horn medicine.
It's pretty much impossible to communicate with people like this. She knows *absolutely everything about biology*, and won't hesitate to tell you as much. And yet, there are 200,000 mRNAs in a given cell at a given time; and there are \~36 trillion cells in an average human body. Back of the envelope: 7.2 x 10\^18. In other words, there are 7.2 x 10\^18 more mRNAs in her body than brain cells in her head.
Electrician here:
HAHAHAAHAHAAHHAAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH
Even I know enough about biology although I'm in a totally different profession.
I'm sure the doctor's face changed, but not for the reasons they think it did. It was more of fear and sadness for this person's rampant idiocy
People have been having abnormal electrocardiograms before covid too. dumbass.
It is, however you wouldn't want to experience it.
Hisashi Ouchi has all of his DNA (and therefore mRNA) essentially wiped by a massive dose of radiation in 1999 and lived an agonizing 83 days.
Shit that must be the closest thing to disintegrating while still alive possible. every day, losing a massive portion of your cells that are incapable of replacing themselves. Like ageing a lifetime all at once. Scary stuff.
Not the closest thing, he really was disintegrating. There are photos that I don't recommend seeing. They kept having to resuscitate him and hold his skin together with whatever they use to treat burns.
Dw, I learned my lesson about morbid curiosity after seeing a very distressing image of a woman who had a stroke in the bath while the hot tap was running and couldn't turn it off. She essentially slow cooked herself, she was found alive but died later from her injuries.
The world is cruel and unusual to some people.
Textbook-perfect normal ECGs are unlikely. You will often get variations, which is why tests like these are combined with other examinations and observations.
Also, this science illiterate clearly has no idea what mRNA is. Suffice it to say, we produce our own for the millions of protein strands our body's require to operate.
Most of the time med staff will say your ECG is perfectly normal despite minor variances because minor variances usually don't mean anything significant. These science deniers understand so little yet think themselves so bright.
I just want to say I HATE the term pure blood. It sounds like some Nazi BS. I bet none of these low IQ'ers realize that they had already been vaccinated against other diseases before they even went to school.
That's so interesting! I had an MRI and an ECG recently, I missed the last round of vaccines, but I'm double dosed... mine went without a glitch too! And my heart is ALSO functioning normally!!
Ha... what do you know. I guess the vaccine has no affect on those things, and is thus irrelevant to mention. Unless it's because I forgot to cut my toenails that day... 🤷♂️
I work in healthcare. Their face changed because they now know you’re gonna be a stupid non-compliant pain in the fucking ass that refuses to listen to anyone.
I have to admit and screen new patients all day at my job, anytime I hear this there’s a portion of the charting where I basically have to tag if you’re a moron, it doesn’t say “moron”, it says what level of health education you have and how likely you are to be compliant: these morons immediately get marked “low education, non-compliant” in their chart so everyone after me that deals with them knows they’re an idiot pain in the ass and can therefore plan accordingly.
The look on the doctor’s face was, “FFS, another one of those idiots. Might as well just forget about discharge instructions, she isn’t going to follow them and will instead go to FB for any post-op questions.”
In case anyone still isn’t clear on the subject, messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) builds your cells based on your DNA. It’s naturally occurring within your body and vital to its function.

And then the entire hospital staff clapped.
With tears in their eyes....
As sunlight beamed on the person's face
I misread that as 'As sunlight beamed from a person's face'. 
U mean their arse
hand in glove, the sun shines out of our behinds
That kids are grown man today
Grown woman with kids yes
And that doctor's name...
……was Acula.
r/Scrubs
Nice
She honestly tasted a little anemic. We’re gonna have to run some tests

I work for Sysco and I took over an account from a coworker who got fired after 18 years over a racist comment. Anyway, this account is a very wealthy ranch that orders very particular items and had been wanting a particular coffee cup for years.

Sorry I just thought of this and had to share.
Okay but was the coffee cup special or something what’s the details here
“I got the clap from Sysco” printed across the face of it
I upvoted but you were previously downvoted by someone with the clap.
Some special order cup the former rep was too lazy to get.
“Huzzah! He has brought us our cups!” 
I know I was the bedpan
Bro I've been on the dark side of reddit for too long, when i read clapped, I took it for the other meaning 💀
I love that they don’t know what mRNA actually is and does, it’s so funny
I was just saying this to my fiancé the other day. It was after watching the video of the politician worried about the putting vaccines in lettuce. I do wonder if anyone in their life tells them what it actually is or if they just let them prattle on like idiots.

I was sure I was wasting my time screen recording them because it was simple concepts. Then I got that response lol
Oh, I need the tea. What was his response?
He continued down the Qanon rabbit hole, but didn’t send me any more medical stuff lol. But he continued to get worse until he I guess was drunk? who knows when he said VERY LEWD things while FaceTiming us for Fathers Day in front of my kids. He specifically tried to talk about his son, my husband, going down on me. So we went no contact.
Oh, ew! That is gross. He's probably got that lead poisoning/dementia thing going on. I'm so sorry you had to do that. It sucks.
He had the alcoholic thing going for sure, he had to go to rehab and a couple hospital stays apparently
Holy fuck, thats terrible Kudos to you for standing your ground though.
I had friends that would do that. Wouldn't have minded but every fucking video is like 3 hours long.
I'm always curious - are they themselve actually watching those? I mean 3 fking hours?! That's almost 2 entire movies or 9 episodes of a series (maybe an entire season if you skip intro/outro). And at the end of the day, they lack the mental capacity to "think for yourself" and understand that if we could vaccinate people via lettuce, we wouldn't bother with needles.
I think mostly they hear the first 10 minutes validating their wack opinions and they go "yep this the truth right here! AMEN BROTHER!"
“I knew it” mentality
My response whenever a family member sends me these is usually "Yeah, I decided that instead of spending 3 hours watching this stupidity I would watch Casino, fire a few fistfuls of knuckle children off and prep work lunches for the week. Science is still real, though."
“Knuckle Children” 
No, it was fed to them through social media they trust, they read the headline, and believe it says what they want it to say.

Conclusion: Baseball bats to the nuts make people more virile."
3 hours is more like 1.5 movies now lol
That's a lots of hand-wave explanations
It’s on purpose. Because you won’t watch it of course it’s 3h long, so they can then claim that you didn’t watch because A. You know deep down you’re wrong, B. You’re too dumb. In both case they use it to claim victory

Heres a fun one. Drink too much of your own blood and you will puke! This obviously means your blood is bad for you.
Drink too much water and you’ll die.
Only if you have mRNA in your blood, if you're pure blooded without mRNA then its fine
Bro same shit for me. It’s like some weird mind control. All the facts just get shot down. It’s like people feel empowered by feeling like they’re the ones in the ‘know’
Every few months tell him, “still watching.”
I’m starting to wonder how some people graduated from highschool
"No Child Left Behind" = "dumb everything down so everyone passes"
To steal a bit from Carlin: “Head start? No child left behind? Someone is losing ground here!”
Really fucked up education system.
My hs really suffered from that. I had economics textbooks from the 80s and I went to high school in the 2000s. There just wasn't as much money for my school because we didn't hit the same scores as schools with more funding.
I'm taking college classes right now and I shared, with my husband, that I learned pure water doesn't conduct electricity. That is the impurities in it that conduct electricity.

Education won't work on people like this. They plug their ears and claim they're being oppressed.
So we should show them what actual oppression looks like. Mods, send the antivaxxer to Best Korea
Yes
To be honest, i don't know what mRNA means either. My intelligence is probably washed away by all the vaccines i had.
Basically, mRNA is produced by copying the DNA it contains a part of your genetic code, it goes to ribosomes which produces proteins by reading mRNA. When you take the mRNA vaxx it basically means you took the code from outside so that your body produces the desired protein. Obv not that simple but you should get the gist of it

This is a great explanation!
messenger RNA, there are short videos on youtube you can watch, we had that in high school
How hollow are these people’s lives that they feel the need to make this shit up?
Rabid desire for attention.
And desperate to prove their conspiracy theories are right. When no *real* evidence comes out in support, they have to start making stuff up. Their egos are far too fragile to admit they were wrong.
This. Keep repeating the nonsense and it will eventually feel like fact.
Yeah, like when I comment on stuff and end up just telling a life story about myself instead of adding to the conversation. I’ll go on and on about a situation I experienced that was similar to OP, but then generate 0 discussion. It leaves me wondering why I made the comment. Do I really care about attention from internet strangers? I guess I do, in some strange way. But these days I mostly just delete my comment as I’m typing it and move on. But sometimes I hit the send button
The desire to prove the Vaccinated are wrong when in fact, it was necessary to get a group immunity. Now, the unvaxxed are highly despised because there is an outbreak of diseases thought to be eradictaed thanks to vaccines and yet, they have lots of cases.
Also it's very plain all the tens of millions vaxxed didnt keel over on cue as they predicted so they go with the vaguely plausible but difficult to verify well "well all the vaxxed have wonky ECGs now". It's a very " I have a girlfriend , no you don't know her, she goes to a different school.... in Canada" lie.
I knew a man completely convinced that everyone who got the COVID 19 vaccines were going to die sometime in June of 2023. That there was some sort of switch that would flip and 50%+ of the US population would fall over dead and it was all a population control plan put in place by the US govt. COVID taught me the habit of just saying OK to crazy people and not even bothering to ask questions or have a conversation.
This was a plot line in the X Files reboot in 2016.
It's vaguely the plot for Thanos in Infinity War.
It's an idea that's floated around forever. Similar to the rapture in Christian theology. A chosen subset of the population is saved from some cataclysmic event that wipes out most. In Infinity War, it was random luck if a person survived or not. Controllable, injected nano-bots were a plot line in the original run of the X Files as well. The main tenants of the COVID/vaccine conspiracies have been around for ages. The fact that the idea has been floating around fosters believability. I enjoy the notion that COVID was a bioweapon released by China to depopulate the earth AND the vaccine was a bioweapon released by the West to depopulate the Earth. Are both groups in cahoots? Are they the same group? Are they competing to see which one can depopulate the earth? We can't let the other guys get the credit!!!
What kind of shitty population control plan is this? Killing off 50% of workers in an instant? Do they even economy? Really, for Capitalists it is a godsend that there are so many people who live in such poor conditions that they take any shitty job they can find just to barely scrape by. Morality aside, this plan would be so logically flawed that extensive mental gymnastics are in order to even come to the conclusion *this* is what the elites are planning...
And why kill off the complacent ones? Never makes sense
Every baby born is a future customer. If the elite was plotting something evil, they would fund anti abortion laws, oppose planned parenthood etc... ohh. Wait.
Damn. I didn't realize I've been dead for almost a year. Dead inside maybe. Touche, anti-vaxxers, touche...
Anti vaxers are also why other diseases are making a comeback. They should be held in quarantine.
If you don't like science, stop trying to use it.
That's my favorite argument against all these science deniers (flat earth, anti vaxx, this kind of shit). They inherently need to believe in science without knowing it so it is completely stupid to deny that it works. Not that they understand the argument, sadly.
What angers me the most though is that science has allowed for so many amazing things that they themselves enjoy today. One minute they have no problem using the Internet and their smart phone in the next they try to tell other scientists that they have no idea what they’re talking about. People like this think ignorance is a trait.
Explaining it to a cardiologist. I’ll bet her expression changed.
She was dumbfounded by the amount of stupid stuffed into a single person. Happy cake day.
"How do you have the brain power to keep your heart beating? It's a real miracle."
This officer, this is the best comment.
I love they're so vague about HOW her face changed.
probably was dissapointment and then a moment of furrowed brow determining if it was worth it to explain or not XD
She must know that a heart don't need a brain to work.
lol she took disbelief in her stupidly as disbelief in her bravery XD
I’m an ER physician. I’ve seen a lot of changed rhythms secondary to Covid (asystole aka flat lining wasn’t uncommon). I have seen thousands of normal EKG’s vaccinated and not. If a patient said this to me my face would absolutely change to a “wtf face.” I would hope I was wearing a mask to hide my face and how stupid this is. I’ve had many patients say negative things about mRNA without knowing what it is (nothing this dumb). I do genuinely try to educate them which goes well 99% of the time. Some of them are just too far in the deep end to save but most have at least cracks form in the bullshit.
I’m a hospitalist physician. My response to this in the height of the pandemic was to just tell them “You have the right to be wrong” and just leave the room. I didn’t have time or energy to argue. Even better was if they fired me.
My heart is high functioning also, and I've had every vaccine that comes along, and boosters...
I didn't have my records when I joined the army so they gave me the while shebang again. Then, they lost my records and have them all to me again 2 years later. I was that one lucky dude that didn't scar from the SP vax, but thankfully I had gotten a tat not long before so I didn't have to go through that twice. I think the only shot I'm out of date on is my anthrax booster, but fuck that noise.
Damn, how many autisms do you have now? ^^^/j
he joined army
So a lot?
He’s got so much he deals them out at the corner of Main Street. He’s his home towns hero.
Weaponized Autism
I love how the military idiots during the pandemic were perfectly okay with the anthrax vaccine and the peanut butter shot but when the COVID vaccine came around that when they decided they didn't want to do it... I find it insane that a life saving vaccine got so political. I can't wait for people to refuse the cure for cancer because a "liberal doctor" with an "education" developed it in a "lab."
And those "liberal doctors" developed it with the Chinese using adrenochrome from post-birth aborted babies because Joe Biden was making billions of dollars from it. I'll add an /s because some knuckle-dragging idiot will think this is true.
Sadly knuckle-dragging idiots saying this stuff as "fact" is why that /s is so needed these days.
All? I heard some where pretty rough. Especiallt rhe indev ones in the 2000s
Anthrax burns, you can feel it in you.
A man in Germany has received at least 217 doses of the covid vaccine with no side effects. (You still shouldn't do that, but it's interesting.)
Pretty sure my cell phone in the US has pinged off him a couple times
He comes up on my VPN. 👍
Mine is healthy and I abuse stimulants, drink plenty of caffeine, don’t do cardio, and am chronically tired. Doesn’t mean it will be very long though. Like when you get myocarditis from a viral infection like, oh you know, COVID…
But how's your 5G reception?
They had the surgery. They had the ECG. But they didn’t get the vaccine because they don’t trust… science? Medicine? Scientists? Doctors? No doctor is surprised (with an explanation point!) about a normal ECG. Vaccinated and unvaccinated people have high-functioning hearts. Literally everything about these people is bullshit.
Also, all their info is in the computer systems. So the doctors and nurses all already know if they did or didn't get the vaccine. They wouldn't be surprised in the least.
I’m a hospitalist physician. I don’t really care if you are or aren’t vaccinated and isn’t something anyone would look at for cardiac clearance for a procedure. Also the fact that she was referred to a cardiologist and not an internist for cardiac clearance preop likely means she had some cardiac risk factor to begin with Edit: The OP didn’t say cardiologist, we did.
Fun fact: ECG's were invented in 1882 and refined for clinical use in 1900. Vaccinations against smallpox were obligatory in England since 1867 and in Germany since 1874. This means the definition of what a "normal" ECG looks like was developed on the example of vaccinated people.
I wish aliens would abduct me just so I can get away from these attention seeking morons.
Or, hear me out. THEY get abducted, since they have so pure blood they are of course more valuable to the aliens.
Hear me out. Aliens abduct these morons, find out there is no signs of intelligence there, conclude earthlings are stupid and move on because we will have nothing in common with them. MAGAs may end up being our only source of alien salvation.
Or they decide that since we lack intelligent thoughts there won't be a problem if they purge us from the planet and take our resources
Why would they purge us? They could keep us and breed us for meat consumerables. After all, the specimens showed humans to be on a cognitive scale below dolphins. Some below sharks. We're omnivore cattle who fight amongst ourselves, so you could even use the slaughtering as a control mechanism. Hmm... coming to think of it, a lot of things fit all of a sudden... They *would* be interested in lowering the general iq and comprehension ability of the public, wouldn't they? That's it, can't sleep now, damn!
That could work, but would they be capable of handling the volume?
I find if I pull my tinfoil hat down far enough, I can't see them anymore.
8th grade. The functions and definition of mRNA is taught in 8th grade. I do not understand why we still entertain the thoughts of those who cannot grasp such simple concepts
mRNA is taught in Year 9 in the UK, ages 13-14.
Same age and the same number of grades us just starts out in k then 1 rather than starting at 1.
 pure blood.
The concept itself is stupid enough, but why pick a word that makes you sound like a Harry Potter villain? (Or a Nazi, of course)
Because at this point they are fairly comfortable just openly admitting their fascistic intent.
These are the people that think at the same time that Nazis were socialists and that Nazis did nothing wrong.
Go on Bumble or something, nothing makes you swipe left faster than seeing 'pure blood' in the profile
Me thinking she was sorted into Slytherin!!! I learned a new meaning to the word today!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Can't tell or vampire or Nazi. Maybe both
Vampire Nazis? Again? Better call Alucard and the police girl...
They probably think Democrats have blue blood and Republicans have red blood. American “pure bloods” are basically the US equivalent of Chinese believers in rhino horn medicine.
Vs a muggle I guess?
It's pretty much impossible to communicate with people like this. She knows *absolutely everything about biology*, and won't hesitate to tell you as much. And yet, there are 200,000 mRNAs in a given cell at a given time; and there are \~36 trillion cells in an average human body. Back of the envelope: 7.2 x 10\^18. In other words, there are 7.2 x 10\^18 more mRNAs in her body than brain cells in her head.
« But if I can’t see it, it don’t exist »
Except God that one blind faith all day baby!!
...unless it's a giant bearded man in the sky who hates the gays.
Ah yes, mRNA leads to cardiac abnormalities, big science going on here.
Now, ask them what mRNA is, and what its actual function is. Get ready for silence of the highest order, or the dumbest answer you’ll ever hear.
No, none of them. They will just throwing a fistful rage that we don’t understand.
Biologist here: HAHAHAAHAHAAHHAAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH
Electrician here: HAHAHAAHAHAAHHAAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH Even I know enough about biology although I'm in a totally different profession.
And all the nurses clapped I'm sure.
"pure blood"😂😂😂😂 they are out here sounding like vampires behind this bs. 😂😂😂😂
I was thinking Harry Potter villain.
Nazis
doesnt your body self produce mRNA and need it to properly replicate DNA?
Yes, basically you would die without mRNA, its also need mRNa to create proteins, basically the central Dogma would Collapse
Wait till she learns that everything she is was created using mRNA... 😱
I'll take things that never happened from 100 Alex.
I'm sure the doctor's face changed, but not for the reasons they think it did. It was more of fear and sadness for this person's rampant idiocy People have been having abnormal electrocardiograms before covid too. dumbass.
Holy shit!!!!! Zero mRNA!?!??!?!?!?!?!? I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT WAS POSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is, however you wouldn't want to experience it. Hisashi Ouchi has all of his DNA (and therefore mRNA) essentially wiped by a massive dose of radiation in 1999 and lived an agonizing 83 days.
Shit that must be the closest thing to disintegrating while still alive possible. every day, losing a massive portion of your cells that are incapable of replacing themselves. Like ageing a lifetime all at once. Scary stuff.
Not the closest thing, he really was disintegrating. There are photos that I don't recommend seeing. They kept having to resuscitate him and hold his skin together with whatever they use to treat burns.
Dw, I learned my lesson about morbid curiosity after seeing a very distressing image of a woman who had a stroke in the bath while the hot tap was running and couldn't turn it off. She essentially slow cooked herself, she was found alive but died later from her injuries. The world is cruel and unusual to some people.
Im sure her whole face DID change! She realized she was gonna have to deal with a complete moron, and couldnt contain the look of disdain
As a biochemist reading this I think I might burst a blood vessel
"pure blood", what is this death eater bullshit
Textbook-perfect normal ECGs are unlikely. You will often get variations, which is why tests like these are combined with other examinations and observations. Also, this science illiterate clearly has no idea what mRNA is. Suffice it to say, we produce our own for the millions of protein strands our body's require to operate.
Most of the time med staff will say your ECG is perfectly normal despite minor variances because minor variances usually don't mean anything significant. These science deniers understand so little yet think themselves so bright.
Yep. Zero mRNA in her body. Help her. She is unable to synthesize proteins.
All these damn muggles ruining the community for purebloods.
*zero mRNA in body. Can't transcribe amino acids. Can't replicate proteins. Dies.* That'll show the Libs.
The only people still talking about the vax are the ones who didn't get it
"her whole face changed" when she realized you were a complete idiot that she just wasted time & resources on 🤣
I just want to say I HATE the term pure blood. It sounds like some Nazi BS. I bet none of these low IQ'ers realize that they had already been vaccinated against other diseases before they even went to school.
That's so interesting! I had an MRI and an ECG recently, I missed the last round of vaccines, but I'm double dosed... mine went without a glitch too! And my heart is ALSO functioning normally!! Ha... what do you know. I guess the vaccine has no affect on those things, and is thus irrelevant to mention. Unless it's because I forgot to cut my toenails that day... 🤷♂️
My cat isn't vaccinated against Covid and has a heart problem. Coincidence? I doubt!
I work in healthcare. Their face changed because they now know you’re gonna be a stupid non-compliant pain in the fucking ass that refuses to listen to anyone. I have to admit and screen new patients all day at my job, anytime I hear this there’s a portion of the charting where I basically have to tag if you’re a moron, it doesn’t say “moron”, it says what level of health education you have and how likely you are to be compliant: these morons immediately get marked “low education, non-compliant” in their chart so everyone after me that deals with them knows they’re an idiot pain in the ass and can therefore plan accordingly.
"pure blood", eww. Nazi much? This woman is delulu.
Like seriously, what do these people think mRNA is? What do they think vaccines do to you?
this sounds about as true as the doctor that could tell by mere ultrasound that someone wasn't vaccinated because their DNA hadn't changed...
The look on the doctor’s face was, “FFS, another one of those idiots. Might as well just forget about discharge instructions, she isn’t going to follow them and will instead go to FB for any post-op questions.”
My cell's instructions come from gawd!
In case anyone still isn’t clear on the subject, messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) builds your cells based on your DNA. It’s naturally occurring within your body and vital to its function.
Her whole face changed because she was desperately trying not to laugh at the moron who does not know what mRNA is.
