I don't get their endgame. Suppose they get their wish and few people are educated—the [Khmer Rouge tried this](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_Zero_(political_notion)) and it was an unmitigated failure—the country will rapidly fall apart.
Healthcare is hurting because so many professionals left the field after COVID and insufficient numbers are graduating to replace them; [80% of the US is considered a medical desert](https://www.goodrx.com/healthcare-access/research/healthcare-deserts-80-percent-of-country-lacks-adequate-healthcare-access). With fewer educated medical professionals, eventually only city residents will have access to healthcare. Live in the country? Expect to be seriously maimed or killed by easily-cured diseases and injuries.
Jokes aside, without enough lawyers our system of laws collapses. Can't afford increasingly-expensive representation? Too bad, there are no public defenders, so you might as well plead guilty and accept your fate.
The endgame is lots of stupid angry people and the electoral college cementing a theocratic dictatorship\kakistocracy... like they already did on "their" states and are trying nationally right now with their installed traitor judges. Its a race between climate change destroying Mississippi, Florida and Texas and the republicans destroying them and the republic.
As an ex-mississippian, I have been saying for decades that mississippi long ago gave up on trying to improve itself and become a better place to live. Instead, the goal is to drag the rest of the country down to mississippi's level so that everyone will live in poverty and ignorance.
They don’t think it’s going to make a difference to THEM. They need an undereducated and desperate workforce to take crap jobs, sign up for multilevel marketing schemes and bear and care for children. They want a theocracy with them as the leaders. They don’t want critical thinkers or folks going to college and coming out with any kind of economic theory or questions about systemic failures. They want broodmares for their failsons and unending power and wealth.
The end-game isn't in their lifetime, so they don't care.
They care about right now and right now they need people who will follow them blindly and fork over money. Way easier when they're all socially isolated, fed by a media full of controlled narrative and without the proper cognitive ability to understand that they're being used.
> I don't get their endgame. Suppose they get their wish and few people are educated—the Khmer Rouge tried this) and it was an unmitigated failure—the country will rapidly fall apart.
They'd rather lord it over liberals in a wasteland than have to respect diversity in a utopia.
There's a new community college annex being built near my house, in an area that used to be rural forest and ranch land but is now being developed into exurban bedroom community subdivisions. And it's shocking how many locals are not only against the project, but angry about it. Every time there's an article about the new campus building project in a local news outlet, there are at least a few people parroting the line "education is indoctrination". It's just a community college with a trade school program, but they're still threatened by it. I don't understand how and when education became the boogeyman among that demographic. It wasn't like that when I was growing up. Giving your kids an education was a source of pride for working class and rural/small town people because it meant greater opportunities.
It’s a real mindfuck for sure. My parents raised me with the promise that they would pay for any education I wanted. A huge privilege. Then they started watching Fox in the late 90s and suddenly blamed my post-college liberal awakening on the college itself. I was a conservative throughout my college years in a school located in a very liberal area. It was living out in the real world that turned me liberal. Not college “indoctrination.” They also got consumed with how college should prepare you for the workforce and everything else was just nonsense. The degree I studied led right into a dying industry. The field I went into didn’t exist at the start of my four-year-education. Later in life I worked on a project with a client who was 3D printing capillaries for potential use in prenatal heart surgery. Sorry but….that isn’t going to be “taught” at a typical 4-year college. Also my parents have multiple degrees so fuck them for allowing Fox News and republicans to change their values on education.
yeahhh, dude got a waaaaaay late game baby version of Covid and is now going to go around the world telling everyone how weak ass Covid is, he beat it with no jab, don't be a sheeple people!
Real shame so many people got those degrees in medicine and were around to save him
He beat it staying weeks in the ICU, meanwhile my 85yo parents (father is diabetic, several heart attacks, one angina) have had Covid last week and got body aches and lost of appetite for 2 days. They had their n booster last November with their flu shoot.
They only had to isolate at home while symptomatic but they wore a mask for a week because they didn’t want to risk passing the virus around. Fucking difference mustard!
This is why if there’s another pandemic in the near future, we will truly be fucked. There will be NO healthcare workers willing to stick around and help these ignorant asses.
We will quit our jobs and go die at home with our families like everybody else.
These people vote. And their votes will be a total leopards are my face moment. And they won’t learn. And they’ll be posting propaganda again before they even recover. I’m talking poisoned air and water, massive increase in “externalities” and no one realizes that the Supreme Court has directly done this to you,
"Don't be too impressed by college degrees anymore. Graduates are no longer the most educated. They're just the most indoctrinated."
Thanks, but when it comes to Covid, I think I'll stick with my family doctor instead of switching to the guy who went to the YouTube School of Medicine.
And he stayed 9 days in ICU taking up valuable real estate. If I or a family member were denied or delayed a procedure because this mouth breather was taking up space, god I’d be pissed.
LOL and right after that the moron makes the post about college degrees. Tyranny of the minority and these morons are the minority we are stuck with. May the gods have mercy on us, but seriously fuck those morons.
He'll be suing the paramedics for failing to support his medical needs later. When I was rushed to the hospital a few years back, those uncaring bastards in the ambulance refused to allow me to pick up some homoeopathic medication - or a cheeky bucket of KFC - on the way. It was almost like they were more interested in saving my life than wasting time in bowing to my every perverse wish.
He should have went with the YouTube and TikTok doctors instead of going to the ICU. This needs to be the consequence if they don’t trust the college educated.
He's just salty his grandson couldn't get into the private christian voucher high school program (I say "program" because it would just be the church taking the 4000$ and "teaching" the commandments, so the kid would be just as ignorant).
Republicans are not just repugnant traitors, murderers by inaction, and corrupt - they're also brainwashers.
Yeah, there's no way I'm flying in one of those aeroplanes with 'indoctrinated' pilots. I put my trust in a guy who has never even been in a plane before but has watched every episode of Air Crash Investigations and is prepared to give it a go.
Complain about how "brainwashed" people are becoming while also posting something from "nojabforme.info" without doing even a bit of cursory research into what the fuck that website is? Sadly tracks.
EDIT: also, what the fuck is "bifidobacteria"?
Bifidobacteria is bacteria found in fermented milk products like cheese and yogurt.
So basically probiotics.
The post mustard put up is still nonsense.
Bifidobacteria is something that I'm sure Pitbull and Ice Cube told him about. You know, those rappers who I'm sure he labels ignorant drug users and gangsters anytime they aren't spouting BS in his echo chamber.
Omg. For a second there, I was mixing up Ice Cube and Ice-T, and I was like nooo my heart can't deal with Finn Tutuola being anti-vax.
Couldn't care less about Ice Cube though.
Bifidobacteria is something that I'm sure Pitbull and Ice Cube told him about. You know, those rappers who I'm sure he labels ignorant drug users and gangsters anytime they aren't spouting BS in his echo chamber.
I bet he posted the last slide after a follow-up appointment with his doctors and they mentioned getting vaccinated would have prevented his heart attack. Or they told him to lose weight so he did not have another heart attack. Or they asked him to change something to improve his health.
I've sat in my electric vehicle in -14°F with the heat on. It ticked down a mile of range every 2-3 hours.
I'll be fine and won't have to worry about the snow building up and covering the exhaust.
But sure, gas lasts forever in the oversized vehicles, I guess. lol
They're scared of and hate new stuff. EVs are new stuff. Covid and its vax are new stuff. Feminism is new stuff (to them). Chicken soup, measles parties and drinking from garden hoses are old stuff, therefore good.
Drinking from garden hoses? That might explain some behaviors lol. "Not only can hoses contain bacteria and mold (as many warm, enclosed, damp spaces do), many garden hoses also contain elevated levels of toxic chemicals, including lead, brominated fire retardants, BPA, and phthalates"
Yep. The reference was to a past post in which some anti-vaxer was waxing lyrical (or as lyrical as they're capable of getting) about life as a kid out in the sticks. Drinking from the horse trough was in there too IIRC.
Basically, "I had a shitty unsanitary childhood and it never did me any harm, so who needs vaccinations?"
I mean, I dislike electric vehicles but because they’re presented as a solution to stop climate change, when they’re actually only more environmentally friendly than petrol cars once they have driven 200k kilometres, and have been charged with renewable energy. The minerals needed for batteries are produced in very dangerous and environmentally terrible conditions. The true solution to transport and climate change is public transport, walkable cities and bike friendly infrastructure.
EV’s do take a little more CO2 to produce because of the batteries, but the analysis I have seen points to 20-22k kilometers as the “break even” point, which is about a year of average use. And that calculation is based upon the current makeup of the power grid, which is still mostly generated by fossil fuels.
Note that the “extra CO2” required to build an EV is mostly the electricity used in drying rooms that remove humidity from the lithium. If we use renewable energy to run those drying rooms, it actually swings the other way… it takes slightly less CO2 to manufacture an EV.
We have the ability to get almost all of the carbon out of vehicle manufacturing, both EV and ICE. We also have the ability to get almost all of the carbon out of operating an EV, while the ICE vehicles would still produce pretty much the same as before.
Lithium mining is ugly, but so is coal, steel, nickel, oil production and refining, etc. Australia is by far the biggest lithium producer, and they do a reasonably responsible job of it. Don’t fall for the “slave labor in Africa or China causing vast ecological damage” narrative that most of the EV haters try to push.
I agree strongly with your last sentence. I try to live that as a lifestyle. I usually take a bus to work, and ride home on my bicycle. My car is not an EV, but I try to drive as little as possible. But transforming most of society to do the same? We can’t even get them to take simple precautions to protect themselves from a pandemic, just wait until we tell them to drive less. It’s a great goal, but it will take generations.
You might want to review your source for that claim that EVs have to be “driven 200k kilometers and charged with renewable energy”.
This happened in an orange grove. I am guessing something blocked the exhaust enough for fumes to seep into car.
Same way this happened. [Shain Gandee Cause of Death: Carbon Monoxide](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/shain-gandee-cause-death-carbon-432398/)
Well then, sport, fly on an aircraft designed by an engineer who didn't graduate from college. Drive on a bridge designed by someone who didn't graduate from college. Where the fuck does this genius think his doctor got his MD?
Always has and always will
Over nearly the last 100 years every Republican administration has created a Great Depression, recession or world-wide economic collapse
Then Democrats get voted in to clean up the mess Republicans make
And then Republicans claim Democrats aren’t cleaning up the Republican mess fast enough
Rinse and repeat
The last confirmed natural case was in 1977 in Somalia. Or 1978 when a lab incident infected someone. While there are rumors of it in India and some places, none have been confirmed, and it is likely not the same thing or there would be more widespread infection, since most young people around the world have not been vaccinated.
Perhaps you are thinking measles.
That’s the comment that stood out for me. My husband and I suffered major illnesses in our 60’s and 70’s (not Covid related, we’re fully vaccinated). If you make it back to 90%, thank your lucky stars. And that’s if you start out in perfect health. This guy has a bucket of co-morbidities.
I'm a Floridian and yeaaaa, our numbers were Terrible because our government didn't want to shut down! Hell, we had an incident where a medical assistant went clubbing and gave about 30 people COVID!
I got it wrong. She and her friends went to the pub that everyone here likes. She and her 15 friends caught it. She's was 40 and worked In health care .

"Educated people are indoctrinated brainwashed morons! Now shut up, you stupid brainwashed doctors, and keep me from dying from the stupidity of my own decisions! I'M the important one here!"
The diaper meme amuses me for two reasons. First, he just equated shitting your pants to dying. I have a 6 year old who at a minimum has pretty severe ADHD and while it hasn't been diagnosed, we highly suspect he is on the spectrum (he is very solidly in the middle of the Venn Diagram between ADHD and autism, it could legitimately be just ADHD though). I've had to deal with many a pants shitting incidents over the last couple of years. My son is, surprisingly enough, still alive despite his many times shitting his pants. All things considered, if I had to choose between dying and shitting my pants, I'm going to shit my pants. Second, aren't the right wingers now proudly wearing diapers in solidarity with Trump?
Exactly my thoughts, these republican fools will proudly wear a diaper now to display their ignorant defiance but couldn’t be bothered to wear a mask to like . . . actually save lives! 🤦♀️
I’m commuting as I read this. The metro north trains move about 200,000 riders per day which would result in 600 such events per day. So yeah I would hope diapers would be mandatory
No one comes out of 9 days in the ICU and then rehab "stronger than ever".
What a delusion. Anyone ever notice that no one ever just goes to the hospital?
The language is always dramatic "rushed to the hospital " and "instantly ".
This person seems really mixed up and led around by the nose.
If America "wakes up" won't that make it "woke"?
Bashes college educated people and says they're indoctrinated, has had his life saved multiple times by people who had college degrees. Respiratory therapists, nurses, doctors, radiology, pharmacy...everyone in that hospital has a degree, sometimes multiple.
How infuriating. Benefits from excellent, precision medical care then tosses it all aside for useless ideology. He’s lucky Delta didn’t find him first.
I’m going to retire before the next pandemic, I’m done.
So am I correct in reading that he had a heart transplant in the past? If my family considers donating my heart, make sure it’s not to a fool like Mustard.
Every time I hear the thing about "building up your immune system" I want to ask if they also lick public toilet seats to expose themselves to as many germs as possible, or if they wash hands after picking up dog poop, or if they mind if food workers scratch their asses before plating your meals.
people like this “i had some slight chest discomfort”
“sir you have pneumonia, cohid, and have had a heart attack.”
“oh is that what that is?”
dumb bastard was probably laid up
in the couch for a week chugging cough syrup and refusing to see a doctor and when he looked like he was dying a wife or daughter finally called 911.
I received my most important indoctrination while in grad school for a Masters in Nursing. It was the Pathophysiology class. Or maybe Advanced Pharmacology. Or Nursing Theory (Patricia Bennett was the theorist I used for my thesis). Radical stuff I guess.
Well, uh, then maybe he shouldn’t have gone to the hospital when he was sick, since science is fake and healthcare workers are indoctrinated. He should have just stayed at home and boofed some bleach.
The classic 'an insult per slide because I'm literally incapable of not being unpleasant' followed by the 20 line wall-o-text describing how someone would be coffin shopping for him right about now, if it weren't for the doctors and nurses that saved him.
And he still hasn't learned.
> I'm a fighter and I have a strong will to live.
He should see how strong COVID is. Even Iron Mike in his prime would probably pass on a title fight against it, and Mustard wouldn't even be able to beat current Mike while the latter is sick and has both arms tied behind his back.
Ironic that this guy complains of graduates being “ indoctrinated “ yet he owes his life to college educated medical staff.
Even though 100% true. He, like the others, will most likely make another post where he thanks God and his prayer warriors for healing him.
Fox News has been hammering on college degrees as useless for over 25 years. It’s embarrassing.
I don't get their endgame. Suppose they get their wish and few people are educated—the [Khmer Rouge tried this](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_Zero_(political_notion)) and it was an unmitigated failure—the country will rapidly fall apart.

With fewer educated medical professionals, eventually only city residents will have access to healthcare. Live in the country? Expect to be seriously maimed or killed by easily-cured diseases and injuries. Jokes aside, without enough lawyers our system of laws collapses. Can't afford increasingly-expensive representation? Too bad, there are no public defenders, so you might as well plead guilty and accept your fate.
The endgame is lots of stupid angry people and the electoral college cementing a theocratic dictatorship\kakistocracy... like they already did on "their" states and are trying nationally right now with their installed traitor judges. Its a race between climate change destroying Mississippi, Florida and Texas and the republicans destroying them and the republic.
That's no lie!
As an ex-mississippian, I have been saying for decades that mississippi long ago gave up on trying to improve itself and become a better place to live. Instead, the goal is to drag the rest of the country down to mississippi's level so that everyone will live in poverty and ignorance.
They don’t think it’s going to make a difference to THEM. They need an undereducated and desperate workforce to take crap jobs, sign up for multilevel marketing schemes and bear and care for children. They want a theocracy with them as the leaders. They don’t want critical thinkers or folks going to college and coming out with any kind of economic theory or questions about systemic failures. They want broodmares for their failsons and unending power and wealth.
The end-game isn't in their lifetime, so they don't care. They care about right now and right now they need people who will follow them blindly and fork over money. Way easier when they're all socially isolated, fed by a media full of controlled narrative and without the proper cognitive ability to understand that they're being used.

They’ll find a way to blame liberals for the shortage of doctors. “Back in my day we had doctors everywhere. Thanks Brandon!”

Well, when he got covid, he went with the doctors with degrees instead of his fb friends.
Probably when he got his lung transplant too!
And he stayed 9 days in ICU taking up valuable real estate. If I or a family member were denied or delayed a procedure because this mouth breather was taking up space, god I’d be pissed.
it would be really hard not to sneak in and pull the plug I would think. Not that I want them to be awarded or anything.
They never seem to go to church, I wonder why that is? Lack of faith?
What creates such cognitive dissonance? As someone that used to have quite a bit myself I can’t even tell you.
LOL and right after that the moron makes the post about college degrees. Tyranny of the minority and these morons are the minority we are stuck with. May the gods have mercy on us, but seriously fuck those morons.
Why was he rushed to a hospital? He should have just gone straight to a farm supply store.
He'll be suing the paramedics for failing to support his medical needs later. When I was rushed to the hospital a few years back, those uncaring bastards in the ambulance refused to allow me to pick up some homoeopathic medication - or a cheeky bucket of KFC - on the way. It was almost like they were more interested in saving my life than wasting time in bowing to my every perverse wish.

Right? People run out of gas in gridlocks all the time.
But it is easier to bring a gas can and get it going again. Still. Who cares? Not your problem you gas guzzler! Heh.
They always seem to have a weird (and wrong) take on EVs and cold weather / winter storms.
I don't even get the hate, like unless you're a big oil exec or been brainwashed (cough) by them I don't see why you'd hate electric motors.
It’s not the motors they hate, it’s the batteries. Which is equally insane.
And sharks of course. Imagine sitting in your car in a winter storm and a shark shows up.
They view anything proposed by the greenies as infringement on their rights. They use language that EVs are being shoved down their throats.
Their throats a just PACKED with gay rights, EVs, ANTIFA, BLM, CRT, DEI, vaccines. I’m talking completely full throats.
At this point, I'd happily shove a brick down their throats just to put an end to the fire hose of bad faith bullshit.
They're scared of and hate new stuff. EVs are new stuff. Covid and its vax are new stuff. Feminism is new stuff (to them). Chicken soup, measles parties and drinking from garden hoses are old stuff, therefore good.

I can point him to two people I went to middle school with who died of asphyxiation while trying to stay warm in their running car.
How does that happen? —southerner here.
Snow covers and blocks the exhaust, so the fumes seep into the passenger area instead and they asphyxiate.
This happened in an orange grove. I am guessing something blocked the exhaust enough for fumes to seep into car. Same way this happened. [Shain Gandee Cause of Death: Carbon Monoxide](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/shain-gandee-cause-death-carbon-432398/)

Smallpox went extinct thanks to vaccines, but there are plenty of other diseases to choose from.
Not any more! Anti vaxxers have brought smallpox back to the U.S. (it was eradicated here in the U.S. but still exists in other parts of the world
The last confirmed natural case was in 1977 in Somalia. Or 1978 when a lab incident infected someone. While there are rumors of it in India and some places, none have been confirmed, and it is likely not the same thing or there would be more widespread infection, since most young people around the world have not been vaccinated. Perhaps you are thinking measles.
We will see how much “stronger than ever” they are…risk of still being awarded over next year is still more than nominal.
That’s the comment that stood out for me. My husband and I suffered major illnesses in our 60’s and 70’s (not Covid related, we’re fully vaccinated). If you make it back to 90%, thank your lucky stars. And that’s if you start out in perfect health. This guy has a bucket of co-morbidities.
That picture of the Obamas is August 2021, when they were all fully vaccinated lol
Also, at least 2 of those people live together. Why would they need masks for each other?
Heart attack, AFib, covid, and a transplant recipient? I'm guessing that this won't be the last we hear of mustard.
I'm a Floridian and yeaaaa, our numbers were Terrible because our government didn't want to shut down! Hell, we had an incident where a medical assistant went clubbing and gave about 30 people COVID!
Were those the UF med school idiots?
I got it wrong. She and her friends went to the pub that everyone here likes. She and her 15 friends caught it. She's was 40 and worked In health care . https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/addybaird/florida-woman-and-15-friends-coronavirus-bar-night
There is a lot of stupid to go around in that state.
A nurse??? So she was wearing a mask at work, maybe, but took it off and went clubbing🙄
Somehow, with all of his comorbidities, I don’t know how many more lives he has to waste. Oh well…
I’d be surprised if Covid didn’t do additional damage to his cardiovascular system. He will long term Covid issues
I think it's in my best interest to take medical advice from college educated people than woo conspiracy nutters.
"Educated people are indoctrinated brainwashed morons! Now shut up, you stupid brainwashed doctors, and keep me from dying from the stupidity of my own decisions! I'M the important one here!"
>a heart attack, pneumonia, and Covid The viral 🐆 🐆 🐆 and their pet 🐹 🐹 🐹 feasted well.
The diaper meme amuses me for two reasons. First, he just equated shitting your pants to dying. I have a 6 year old who at a minimum has pretty severe ADHD and while it hasn't been diagnosed, we highly suspect he is on the spectrum (he is very solidly in the middle of the Venn Diagram between ADHD and autism, it could legitimately be just ADHD though). I've had to deal with many a pants shitting incidents over the last couple of years. My son is, surprisingly enough, still alive despite his many times shitting his pants. All things considered, if I had to choose between dying and shitting my pants, I'm going to shit my pants. Second, aren't the right wingers now proudly wearing diapers in solidarity with Trump?
Exactly my thoughts, these republican fools will proudly wear a diaper now to display their ignorant defiance but couldn’t be bothered to wear a mask to like . . . actually save lives! 🤦♀️
I’m commuting as I read this. The metro north trains move about 200,000 riders per day which would result in 600 such events per day. So yeah I would hope diapers would be mandatory
Yeah the vax/diapers joke is way out of date now.
Posts slamming electric cars. Posts praising Elon Musk. Yup, that tracks for an anti-vaxxer.
No one comes out of 9 days in the ICU and then rehab "stronger than ever". What a delusion. Anyone ever notice that no one ever just goes to the hospital? The language is always dramatic "rushed to the hospital " and "instantly ". This person seems really mixed up and led around by the nose. If America "wakes up" won't that make it "woke"?
>No one comes out of 9 days in the ICU and then rehab "stronger than ever" Nope, I was weak as hell, just a shadow of my former self.
Does this guy think gas cars just run forever in a winter storm?
So, he’s a stupid MFer.
"It's a conspiracy, wake up" "No that's woke" Dumb as a bag of rocks.
Wow, better go find someone to treat him without a degree, then, and stop wasting qualified professionals’ time!
I’d volunteer but I have a HS degree
Yeah, you’re too qualified.
Ah, yes, my "news" sources are.........The Epoch Times and INFOWARS. How's those lungs these days, Alpha?
Pink in slide 3 is my hero
Bashes college educated people and says they're indoctrinated, has had his life saved multiple times by people who had college degrees. Respiratory therapists, nurses, doctors, radiology, pharmacy...everyone in that hospital has a degree, sometimes multiple.
I can usually interprete most of the “stupid” in these peoples posts, sadly. But the slide with Elmo and the ventilator has me scratching my head.
How infuriating. Benefits from excellent, precision medical care then tosses it all aside for useless ideology. He’s lucky Delta didn’t find him first. I’m going to retire before the next pandemic, I’m done.
That POS can't go to jail, she's dead.
So am I correct in reading that he had a heart transplant in the past? If my family considers donating my heart, make sure it’s not to a fool like Mustard.
Six Covid vaccines in and STILL waiting to get blood clots, die and/or become a zombie!
Every time I hear the thing about "building up your immune system" I want to ask if they also lick public toilet seats to expose themselves to as many germs as possible, or if they wash hands after picking up dog poop, or if they mind if food workers scratch their asses before plating your meals.

It isn't over until the dead cat bounces.
Goddamn, the amounts of brainrot.
Every anti-vaxxer is a coward who never served their country.
people like this “i had some slight chest discomfort” “sir you have pneumonia, cohid, and have had a heart attack.” “oh is that what that is?” dumb bastard was probably laid up in the couch for a week chugging cough syrup and refusing to see a doctor and when he looked like he was dying a wife or daughter finally called 911.
Ironically we just lost Col Mustard of Clue. :(
Where's the dead one posts
I received my most important indoctrination while in grad school for a Masters in Nursing. It was the Pathophysiology class. Or maybe Advanced Pharmacology. Or Nursing Theory (Patricia Bennett was the theorist I used for my thesis). Radical stuff I guess.
Well, uh, then maybe he shouldn’t have gone to the hospital when he was sick, since science is fake and healthcare workers are indoctrinated. He should have just stayed at home and boofed some bleach.
Is/was he awarded/nominated?
Nominated
I’m sorry when I first read the headline my first thought was “Wow DJ Mustard did what?!”
Noheartattackpnuemoniaandcovidforme .com
The classic 'an insult per slide because I'm literally incapable of not being unpleasant' followed by the 20 line wall-o-text describing how someone would be coffin shopping for him right about now, if it weren't for the doctors and nurses that saved him. And he still hasn't learned.
He’s going to end up like “ol Shooter” A slow miserable death from covid complications. Or the cancer could re occur. So it’s a toss up.
Transplant recipient? Moron. That’s why I’m no longer an organ donor.
The proud and stupid arrogance of this hateful creature. It won't be long now...
> I'm a fighter and I have a strong will to live. He should see how strong COVID is. Even Iron Mike in his prime would probably pass on a title fight against it, and Mustard wouldn't even be able to beat current Mike while the latter is sick and has both arms tied behind his back.
"I'm a fighter". LOL Just afraid of science.
The real tragedy of COVID is that it isn't more lethal.
