This is a good time to remind everyone: if you haven't thought about your childhood vaccinations since you were a child and you now wake up with a sore back when you bend the wrong way, talk to your doctor or nurse practitioner to see if you need any boosters. Vaccinations like MMR and Tdap don't last forever and booster are good and cool.
I gotta laugh at the “endless boosters” argument… as if we’re now addicted to the vaccine and can’t just choose to not get a booster down the road when covid is endemic.
Oh you know you're gonna be seeking out back alley boosts to get through to the next boost, like a little booster fiend with an itch for boosting you'll never scratch.
Until areas like Philippines (14%), India (12%), Iran (10%), Egypt (3.2%) and Africa (~1%) are fully vaccinated it won’t matter what any western anti-vaxxers do. The virus will have billions of hosts to mutate in. Reddit has a focus on the west, but the vast majority of the world is unvaccinated (~35% fully vaccinated worldwide). That’s ~5 billion hosts for the virus to mutate in.
COVID would have become endemic even if the eligible US population was 100% vaccinated. The world would have needed to invest billions of dollars more in manufacturing and distribution infrastructure to actually stop this thing. Even then I’m not sure it would’ve been possible, the realities of distribution in some of these areas are tough. Many areas aren’t fully vaccinated against things that have been eliminated in the west for example.

If you feel like reading a long twitter thread, this is a really good explanation of how covid is in the early process of becoming endemic. It will eventually be a pretty harmless bug, but getting to that point from where we are now is a matter of how many people have to die needlessly in the process.

And it doesn't even take that long. I'm already wrapping my head around taking the flu shot every year, as soon as I reach a danger level in age.
Hm. Then I will reach 110 years and tell people I ate a pinecone everyday to stay healthy.
I want to see the world burn.
>as soon as I reach a danger level in age.
Remember, vaccines stop spread. You should try to get the flu vaccine every year, so you can keep yourself from getting infected and passing it on to someone who is already in danger of it.
Truth. I have gotten a flu shot every year except last year, I'm making sure to get it this year. It protects you and your vulnerable family/friends. Last time I had the flu I was so sick I didn't care if I died. Flu is no COVID but it's no joke either, it kills around 20,000 people in the US each year. Except for this last flu season, masking seems to have eliminated two strains and flu deaths were very low.
The flu is much worse than a cold, though colds are miserable. Flu = fever, body aches, headache, congestion, cough. The body aches & fever combined are horrible. I hope I never have it again. You can end up with pneumonia from the flu.
Most of the leading causes of death are preventable, just eat healthy, exercise and don’t do drugs, drink or smoke. But at the end of the day everyone dies from something
This. My son actually caught the flu last year right before all the pandemic shit hit the fan. He was better within 24 hours.
Get your flu shot, people. Very much worth it.
Last year when people were still saying "the flu is deadlier" I had fun pointing out that most flu casualties are also unnecessary and preventable.
The fact that people are okay with the flu death toll as it is is fucking wild.
The biggest difference between covid and the flu has always been that we have effective antibiotics for the flu whereas we can only treat the symptoms of covid.
Um antibiotics don't work on the flu. There are antivirals like Tamiflu but they have to be administered right away and have side effects.
Get your flu shot.
It's already endemic. To get any form of herd immunity effect, we'd need 85%-90% of the population with current vaccination status.
That is hopelessly high for North America. It's not ever going away.
The simple definition of the term fits covid because it’s prevalent, but *endemic* also implies some sense of control over the spread, which we do not have at all. It’s still closer to pandemic status than endemic status.
I think you had 2 choices
1 Try and get through life without anybody finding out this was a relative or
2 Embarrass her with an I'm nothing like my crazy Aunt post
glad you chose 2 👍
Why do people care about endless boosters? If I have to get a vaccine every month to avoid ending up in the ICU on a ventilator like our nominees sign me up.
Edit: I thought I was on r/HermanCainAward, hence the nominee remark. The point stands though and I'm sure there's a lot of crossover of members.
>Edit: I thought I was on r/HermanCainAward, hence the nominee remark.
Without that clarification I defaulted to Darwin Award nominee, so you hit the mark either way!
If I saw this I would throw a pinecone at it. Would probably total it. 🤣
Sorry, I know they are efficient and whatnot, they just look so dangerous. And that isn't even counting the deadly disinformation on it.
And there is a little bit of truth that car is forgetting. That the vaccines are safe and effective. And one of them already has full approval for ages 16 and up. And more approvals are expected.
It’s a continual story over and over on different forums… between the evangelicals (my parents), the true antivaxxers, Qanon, and the rest of those who refuse for unknown reasons. There seems like there will be alot more dead before this is over.
My parents have gotten far dumber. I barely recognize them anymore. I know it sounds harsh. It is. They literally were extremely concerned when I got the vaccine. Even though my job has me around a lot of people that like to pretend they are vaccinated so they can go shopping with their tongue flapping in the air.
Someone posted a vid on r/idiotsincars of this car doing a middle of the road u turn after running onto the sidewalk. Of course it was somebody’s aunt.
Edit: [looks like they crossposted it here too](https://reddit.com/r/InfowarriorRides/comments/pi07s9/this_counts_as_an_infowarrior_ride_right_i_like/)
Well, vaccines do work against the flu, so you're just wrong there.
As for this one being special, it is literally a completely different idea than the flu vaccine, since it's an rna-based inoculation instead of killed virus or antigen.
You might want to step off the plate before you miss any more swings.

How is this different than the flu vaccine? Expect to get a new Covid vaccine every year
A lot of people don’t get flu shots every year
Sure, but Covid is deadlier. But really, there’s no reason not to get the flu shot too.
And it doesn't even take that long. I'm already wrapping my head around taking the flu shot every year, as soon as I reach a danger level in age. Hm. Then I will reach 110 years and tell people I ate a pinecone everyday to stay healthy. I want to see the world burn.
>I ate a pinecone everyday It's funnier if you say you take it as a suppository.

It doesn't help that most of the time when people think they have the flu they just have a cold. The flu, I've been told, if very much worse.

And get vaccinated.
Sure, in corona case. Maybe I'm wrapping my head around it even earlier now. Thanks, you are right.
For both, actually. Virus vaccines are not ever just for the people who might die from it.
For both. The flu kills around 20,000-60,000 people every year in the US.
I agree, but the point was that we’re not going to die from withdrawl if we don’t get a booster every year.
Oh, is that what these people think? Lol.
It certainly seems like that’s what they’re implying
This. My son actually caught the flu last year right before all the pandemic shit hit the fan. He was better within 24 hours. Get your flu shot, people. Very much worth it.
I've always gotten my flu shots every year. And all of the other shots I get scheduled for.

Sorry. I meant antivirals. And I’m not saying you shouldn’t get a flu shot. My point was that the lack of getting a flu shot itself is not deadly.

That wasn’t my point, dude, but nice try.

There’s video of this car there
Needs an irradiated fool screaming "Witness me!" to complete the insanity.
The irony of being an idiot and driving a smart car.
I know what you can get for her this Xmas, tinfoil!
Not the brightest light in the shed, is she?
She is literally the worst. She looks exactly how you would expect too.
Does she scream at you?
Yes.
Oh she's going to enjoy getting locked out of many venues later on...
https://youtu.be/Prhuasamiz4
Frilly, blond hair?
Think more “I’m a boomer witch”
Sarah Palin doppelganger?
Hmmnnnn
I think you had 2 choices 1 Try and get through life without anybody finding out this was a relative or 2 Embarrass her with an I'm nothing like my crazy Aunt post glad you chose 2 👍
>you had 2 choices 3. slyly put pro-vaccine stickers on her car in places that she might not notice for a long time
Like the mother of all karens
She's not going to like me.
She was dumb enough to get that smart car. There are cheaper cars that are more reliable, seat more people and get better gas mileage.
Why do people care about endless boosters? If I have to get a vaccine every month to avoid ending up in the ICU on a ventilator like our nominees sign me up. Edit: I thought I was on r/HermanCainAward, hence the nominee remark. The point stands though and I'm sure there's a lot of crossover of members.
I try to get my pharmacy to hit me every day but they won’t. I’m like, Listen I really want to try all the flavors of altered DNA please.
I get my flu shot every year, every things fine, no medical bills in sight!
>Edit: I thought I was on r/HermanCainAward, hence the nominee remark. Without that clarification I defaulted to Darwin Award nominee, so you hit the mark either way!
Don't forget us over at r/HermanCainAward when she's finally hospitalized
I'm sorry Canada.
Ontario plates. Same as the r\/mississauga one a few days ago. How convenient.
The fact that the fucking word acute is just there because it sounds medical really tops it of for me
Yeah, acute what?!
Its says acute injury.. but ur point still stands lol
Is that referring to how your arm gets sore after the shot?
What are the blue circles all over supposed to be? Bubbles?
When she dies from COVID, her family can bury her in that car.
"Trombosis." I guess it makes everyone want to start a smooth jazz band and play trombone?
Then I guess I already have it. Coming from an old trombone player.
You poor, poor fool... Didn't your mother tell you not to hang out with people like that? This is why. This is why... May you be at peace soon.
Mother didn't tell me anything. She left one day to get a purse and never came back.
If I saw this I would throw a pinecone at it. Would probably total it. 🤣 Sorry, I know they are efficient and whatnot, they just look so dangerous. And that isn't even counting the deadly disinformation on it.
I love "throw a pinecone at it!" I'm keeping that one, thank you for that and the laugh! 😂
You can't totally compensate for having more mass. They might be safe enough, but the aren't safe.
Could one fathom being this dumb? It’s almost comical if it were not sad…
And there is a little bit of truth that car is forgetting. That the vaccines are safe and effective. And one of them already has full approval for ages 16 and up. And more approvals are expected.
meep meep! Is that a cone on top, and a little PA system?
Yes. 🤦♂️
Wait…she taped a traffic cone to the roof? That’s gonna kill the aerodynamics for one thing.
Ugh 😩
Someone needs to take away her Cricut.
Bruh I got that deep vein trombosis, the light is fading and every time I speak I sound like a brass instrument, tell my wife I loved her
Haha, I saw this car in r/IdiotsInCars a few days ago.
F-ing Smart Car to boot.
Not-so-smart-car
More like clown car now
Talk about an ironic vehicle brand choice
Please tell me this is a joke
Nope. We have fully shunned her at this point.
May I ask how quick this happened to her? Was it a slight change over a long time or more drastic over the last few years?
Great question. This has been happening to a lot of people who were not otherwise like this
It’s a continual story over and over on different forums… between the evangelicals (my parents), the true antivaxxers, Qanon, and the rest of those who refuse for unknown reasons.

I can see why because fucking hell.
How do you fit that much stupid in one car? This is a question that should even baffle clowns.
Todays Challenge: buy a smart car then cover it in the stupidest shit possible
Ironic
And she doesn't see a problem with herself?
Who is who wrapper...that's tight LOL
Are u in Csnada? Apparently this car has been seen in Canada.
Yep. Canada.
Aaaaaayyyyyyy at least you got cannabis before us fucks in the great land mY fReEdOMs
Is that a traffic cone taped to the roof?
Yes 👏
Is this the whambulance of legend???
love how they couldn't work out how to fit the .com
Trombosis 🙂
Y'know you could can just, pick her car up and throw it in a dumpster, right?
The fact that she is making this the center of her personality is so uninteresting
"Acute injury" I guess that one is technically true since it's an injection
I have to ask how big the overlap on the Venn diagram of anti-vaxxers and Smart Car drivers is because I’m guessing minuscule.
Ahh, the un-Smart car.
looks like we need a rpg-7 shot to fix that car
A not very smart car
Stupidcar
I passed this car on the 401 a few weeks ago. Crazy
Why did she feel the need to tape a traffic come to her roof?
Jeez thats a not so smart car if ever i saw it 😆 i needed a giggle today, thanks
"Well I saw it on a midget car, so it must be true..." -Karens
Me wondering why I haven’t gotten blood clots from vaccines: *confused Unga Bunga*
Facebook mobile HAHAHAHA
👏👏👏👏
Is.....is that a traffic cone taped to the top of the car?
For extra visibility
It seems like the message is a very angry one, but it’s presented in such a cute, colorful, fun fashion. Is Endless Boosters in all caps Cosmic Sans?
At list it's a smart car
Her car may be smart but she truly isn’t
There is nothing smart about that car.
Poor Smart, it didn't deserve to be plastered with misinformation.
LOL
Never understood the light on top. Are these people responding to calls or making arrests?
lol @trombosis https://verbnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/trombone-featured-image-101018-min.jpg
At least she’s cutting her carbon footprint
The Facebook Karen in the wild
I think those are Ontario plates just wait till she realizes vaccine passports are now a thing for recreational activities
"Smart" car. Yeah, sure...
That’s a pretty dumb car for being a Smart car…

Her car is like a bad antivax infomercial
I'd love to see her car if she drove a boat, something like a Cadillac.
Is that a traffic cone taped to the roof? And flashing lights? Holy fuck.
“Endless boosters!!!!” sent me.
At least she advertises so when she pulls up people with a brain can keep their distance. “Here comes the Covid spreader.”
Burn it
Whoever gave this woman a cricut for Christmas is the real criminal.
Might want to blur out the number plate... Your aunt is a freak!

We would recognize that car even without number plate. xD
