Friday Funny: Long Term Career Plan Before Climate Apocalypse Hits

… a public opinion piece recently admitting that “The Anti-Vaxxers Won.”

Yesterday in my random Internet browing I came across an article on the IQfy website titled “They knew: why didn’t the unvaccinated do more to warn us?” (direct link).
That article included the following :

While well intending citizens lined up, did the right thing, and received their COVID19 vaccinations — now seeming to do more harm than good — their unvaccinated friends stood by and let them do it. Some of them said too little. Some said nothing at all.

Even though they knew what we didn’t.

Our blood is now on their hands.

Those are strong words. But the unvaccinated had access to important information about the potential side effects of vaccines. They knew about the risks of severe allergic reactions, blood clots, and other serious health complications. They knew that vaccines did not immunize us. They knew it wasn’t effective, and that they can cause more harm than good.

Before the comments … definitely worth taking the time to read through, but the way ! … were closed due to posters failing “to write positive messages of solidarity” enough, there was considerable confusion as to whether the article was :

1. being serious
2. satire
3. gaslighting
4. some combination of the above

The sheer anger, however, was palpable.

The article concluded with :

It is time for the unvaccinated to take responsibility for their actions and to work with the rest of us to find a solution to this crisis. We cannot afford to let their selfishness and lack of action continue to harm our communities. It is time for the unvaccinated to step up and do the right thing.

The unvaccinated should by any moral measuring stick have done more to warn about the potential risks — to help us make informed decisions about our health. And they must now ask us for our forgiveness.

And, hand to heart, we may just give it to them.

Because we are good people. We took those injections because it was the right thing to do — until it wasn’t.

– – – – –

I can foresee similar “requests” for us sceptics to “ask for forgiveness” in the (near ?) future when it comes to the subject of “climate change / saving the planet”.

“But you didn’t try hard enough to warn us it was all a scam !”

“It doesn’t matter how many of you lost ‘credibility’ (Bjorn Lomborg, Willie Soon, Judith Curry, …) or even your jobs (Peter Ridd, …) trying to warn us, it wasn’t enough !”

“It’s your fault that ***I** am a gullible idiot !”
