I just told off my dad's wife for not taking their paxlovid for covid... [View all]

They are not vaxxed and are antivaxxers. At this point, they will probably disown me. And I don't give a flying f*ck. They are in their late 60s. But he is easily influenced by the b*tch reading those right wing f*cking websites.

So my dad and his wife came down with Covid-19 a few days ago. Asked me what I thought of Paxlovid and I explained a few days ago that it's the only treatment available. You are supposed to start it within 5 days of the start of symptoms. That's the absolute best medical treatment available right now. Their doctor prescribed them Paxlovid for it.

Then she says today:

We've decided not to take Paxlovid and are taking vitamin a, c, and zinc. Our fevers haven't gone over 100. blah blah blah.

She did not like the texts I sent back railing against her.

At this point, I don't care. I'm royally pissed. And long done with this anti-vaxx crap and I didn't hold back. They wanna die from covid-19, that's on them.

Side effects certainly didn't bother him when he was doing drugs years ago.
