finally a helpful conspiracy theory

The Burning Stoopid has gone full circle.

And it's actually helpful !!

( smdh )

A conspiracy ripping through the anti-vax world may finally drive some anti-maskers to do the unthinkable: wear a mask and keep their distance.

The conspiracy—which comes in several shapes and sizes—more or less says the vaccinated will “shed” certain proteins onto the unvaccinated who will then suffer adverse effects. The main worry is the “shedding” will cause irregular menstruation, infertility, and miscarriages. The entirely baseless idea is a key cog in a larger conspiracy that COVID-19 was a ploy to depopulate the world, and the vaccine is what will cull the masses.

Maybe I should send him this nonsense, with the hope he will wear a mask to protect himself from the rest of the family since we are all vaccinated.

5. Covid can cause erectile dysfunction but that hasn't seem to take hold in the anti-masker community.

Those are all female reproductive issues. Maybe they mean male and female infertility. It was mentioned in a listing of female only issues though.
