Oglivie’s just worried that all his antivaxxer friends will know he’s gotten the vaccine when they see the freakishly enlarged truck nuts on his Hummer. (Either that, or they’ll simply think it’s yet another ploy to overcompensate for his own “shortcomings”.)
How inaccurate! Everybody knows you don’t drink ivermectin! You’re supposed to apply it to your entire body like suntan lotion so that the COVID bounces off your skin. FAKE NOOZ!
For the record, the vaccine does not reprogram your DNA. It is an RNA virus, so the mRNA in the virus, or in the vaccine, reprograms your RNA to reproduce the virus, which is the only means by which a virus is able to reproduce. In the case of the vaccine, only the mRNA for the protein coat is present, and only that protein is reproduced in your body, and in limited quantities, since there is no viral mechanism to replicate the mRNA for a continued supply. If you DO have a severe reaction to a limited quantity of the spike protein, which is rare but possible, then a full infection by the virus would have been much, much worse. Your odds of surviving vaccination are quite good, and your odds of surviving covid are made much better, if you have not already had covid and acquired immunity.
And nobody would pay for the bandwidth required to connect you by 5G to the New Covid Vaccine Overlords. An always on connection would be at least ten dollars a month just to finance infrastructure demand.
On Ogilvie’s gravestone this humble quote: “If I have seen further, it’s because I have stood on the shoulder of a giant.” (A giant with tiny hands, of course.)
I still don’t understand why hospitals are prioritizing fools who voluntarily contracted (and deliberately spread) a deadly virus. Accident, cancer, and heart patients are being turned away, some to die. If I were doing triage, I would not favor antivaxxers; even if they live, they will remain willfully ignorant and spiteful. Anti-vaxxers with COVID 19 should be hospitalized in a barn and fed ivermectin to their hearts content; leaving the hospitals available for those who do not choose to sicken themselves and others.
My wife’s cousin in Minneapolis, had a heart attack five days ago. Examination showed that he needed open heart surgery. That was scheduled for early yesterday, but was bumped twice because the available ICU beds needed for recovery, were taken by covid idiots. His surgical team checked him to a bed prior to the surgery to keep it open for him. The five hour procedure was this morning. At last he has an ICU bed.
I am fascinated how the Anti-vaxers won’t take an vaccine (that has rigorously tested and created by scientists) but believe that Horse De-Wormer and literal snake venom advocated by randos on the internet. It’s complete madness and makes me weep for our future.
Whenever somebody tells me they’re doing their own “research” on whether or not to take a COVID vaccine, I ask where they got their M.D. degree or PhD in cellular biology. So far, all of the crowd-sourced “research” I’ve heard of has consisted of reading a rumor on Facebook, and repeating the half of it they remember.

If the vaccine was rumored to cause penile enlargement you’d have an almost 100% vaccination rate for American males.
