"Now that the Fire Dep't has reduced their response times, I can start smoking in bed again"

A passel of anti-vaxxers have flooded their pathetic asses into a coronavirus information discussion group I participate in.

These feebs are really frustrating to deal with. Just one sorry excuse to avoid their civic duty to get vaccinated after another.

There's very little difference between the people who started the anti-vax lies, the chumps who pass them along, and the information victims that these groups panic into not getting vaccinated. The virus hits or misses them all with equal random chances. The coronavirus and the stupidity virus travel along non-parallel paths through separate mediums. There will always, always be a profit in grifting the suckers, even when the "pay out" is just a smug sense of sticking it to the science smarties that laughed at them in 8th grade.
