Wow. Just when you think you've seen the craziest anti-vaxxer post, this shows up

I found this on the FB Herman Cain Awardz site. Just to be kind (Covid took him out) I removed his last name. He had several posts about this 'killer pollo'.

That word "pollo" is the Spanish word for what we call a "chicken" in English.

I wasn't sure, at first, what he was going on about at first. Then, as I read on, I realized he's at third grade level (what he remembers that is) writing/spelling and not rational.

Oh well, it got him anyway.

With horses and mallets? Or Pollo? Spanish for chicken?

These geniuses sound very sure of themselves. Have a friend who is one of them, he declared confidently that he can never get Covid again because he had it once, and that's not how viruses work, once you get it you have lifelong natural immunity. I asked him if he's ever had the flu virus more than once in his life. He said strains are different than variants, which technically is true, but it is still the same virus you can get over and over. And what about all of those people who've had Covid twice? False positives was his response. Just too stupid.

https://www.latimes.com/science/story/2021-02-04/whats-difference-between-variant-strain-coronavirus

In other words, a particular coronavirus specimen may contain one or more mutations that another specimen lacks. If there is no detectable functional difference, it is merely a variant.

However, if those mutations make the specimen more transmissible than its predecessors, or endow it with an added ability to evade a drug or vaccine, or alters it in another meaningful way, then it qualifies as a distinct strain.


Therefore, Delta and Omicron are now considered strains, just like flu.

He isn't here to witness the new killer pollo strain.

I'd say this has to be some AI generated nonsense but I feel AI generated stories would make more sense.

that stated nearly half of US citizens read at a 6th grade level. I didn't believe that was at all possible.

After reading that mash up of shit, I'm convinced.

Something like the average IQ in the US is 100. Meaning of course, half of the population is below that level.

Is it any wonder I can't ever seem to strike up small talk anymore?

The saddest part is I firmly believe that IQs are not completely a fixed value. They can be optimized with effort, if one is so inclined. I'm living proof of that!

member who would look at first and last letter of a word and guess. It was because they were taught with flash cards not sounding out the word. Doubt if these people were taught to sound out and learn the definition of a word. I moved to another state right before my senior year and the spelling test in english class was: their, there, they're, too, to, two etc. IN SENIOR YEAR! should have been learned in 3rd grade tops.
