The latest from Conspiracy Blvd on the way to crazy town.

Was talking to my neighbor and told her I got both vaccine shots. She says, 'we're not getting the shots, we just don't think its necessary.'

I said, 'okay, it's a personal choice.'

She goes on with how the covid numbers are inflated because there aren't any heart attacks reported in Tarrant county since the covid scare started and hospitals get $3k for regular pneumonia and $30k for covid*. Car accident deaths are reported as covid deaths. She has a nurse friend who told her so.

So I'm still, 'well okay if you think so.'

Then she comes up with the government was giving money to Wuhan to develop the covid 19 strain as a weapon. Fauchi was the one running the operation under Obama.

That's when I had to just say, 'I gotta go now. That's just too far down Conspiracy Blvd for me.'


*Those numbers are from Medicare payments to Hospitals. A regular flu patient with pneumonia has a Medicare benefit of up to $3k, a covid patient under critical care pays up to $13k and a covid patient on a ventilator receives up to $39k. These benefits are based on the average cost of care across the U.S.

The conspiracy mongers apply these numbers to ALL patients as a flat payment and accuse Doctors and hospitals of diagnosing all patients with covid 19 to collect these 'government payments'.

Not that the country's demographics are getting any more favorable for them. Now they are going to loose meatheads to COVID when there's a vaccine available. Of course they could destroy us all if their antics allow the virus to continue to propagate and mutate into a more potent strain.
