Fuck, we're going to have to deal with Covid-19 deniers.

[PersonAndStuff]

It doesn't matter how how bad this all gets and how undeniable the science is. Even if Trump and the rest of the right stop experimenting with different ways of saying "It's not that bad." We're still going to have to deal with some amount of these fuckers, probably until the next great pandemic. When they will shift gears and focus their energy on denying this new pandemic.

Let them blame themselves, or god.

 

[Pirateluigi]

Going to have to? We're already dealing with them, in the middle of the damn pandemic.

 

[Villein]

we already are

[RailWays]

They already existed, which helped make the global situation the state that it currently is.

 

[kmfdmpig]

As long as they're not in power or widespread I don't think it much matters what the random conspiracy theorist in a neighborhood believes. It's when world leaders (Trump, Bolsanro, Belarus's pres.) spew that type of trash that it becomes particularly harmful. The media signal boosting it and supporting it (Fox News) is likely just as damaging as well.

I had someone explain to me that this was created by HRC and Tom Hanks for population control, but sadly they lost s handle on it and now here we are.

Killary Clinton really putting in the work these days. Apparently Tom Hanks too.

 

[janusff]

the president of the united states called it a hoax

 

[Heynongman!]

My company is run by a certain religious cult heavily based between Clearwater, FL and Los Angeles, CA, and let me tell you: Them folks don't think the virus is real.

 

[Officer Big Mac]

No we wont. Even Republicans wont risk this happening again. Too many lives...i mean dollars were lost.

 

[Deleted member 862]

Some of them are in charge.

 

[It’s Time To Go]

Sure they already exist. My relatives in Northern Ireland don't believe it's real.

The Atlantic put out a good article about how it's just the next step in the liberal vs conservative cultural wars.

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/03/social-distancing-culture/609019/

Granted, it's mostly about how people treat social-distancing and less about whether or not the virus is real.

You could ignore them, though.

Engaging (or even being upset about it) is probably a waste of your energy.

 

[Sander VF]

I guess this is an indication that there will be people denying climate change even after it really gets going.

 

[Deleted member 11626]

People are already denying it. My favorite is that the gubment is going to mandate vaccines, implanting a 5G chip in the process, and then have the ability to track us forever once the 5G towers go up. Like we don't already carry traceable electronics with us at all times, willingly.

Either way, it's disgusting to deny what's going on. That denial will be responsible for tens or hundreds of thousands of deaths that might have been preventable. Not to mention the overwhelmed healthcare workers that will be traumatized from having to make difficult decisions due to supply shortages, and then having to watch the people they didn't choose, die. PTSD will be rampant among the doctors, nurses, etc. Fuck the deniers.

 

[Mr. Keith]

We're already dealing with that and more. I saw a dude go on a rant about how hot tea kills the virus and we're all dying just to make Trump look bad. Everything is fucked.

The denier the leader of the country

 

[Grimminski]

I'm sure their God will sort 'em out eventually

 

[Voytek]

Yup they are already out in full force on Twitter. The media is lying, it's all hype, a plot to bring down Donald Trump (lol). Pre-internet these nuts would just be on the street corner screaming this ignorant shit into the void but now they all have platforms to reach millions and a lot of stupid people out there eat it up.

 

[Aeriscloud]

Cough on a nazi

 

[Eros]

Already have. My brothers are still on that "just a cold" bullshit. Very disappointed in them.

 

[kai3345]

my parents are deniers. my mom is the most flippant about it and shes the most at risk. it's really upsetting

 

[Komo]

Can denying this become illegal? Would make things a lot easier. Doesn't help that it seems to be a lot of Christians pushing this bs.

 

[BasilZero]

People deny worse things so this isnt surprising.

 

[Dark Ninja]

I think some are past denying since there are chances of getting this "fake" sickness now people are into full blown conspiracy. The one I've seen posted is Hillary and Bill Gates had something to do with making it and it's hard to tell if people are kidding or not but it seems like they aren't l. It's amazing that in this day and age something this real can still be denied

 

[ParanormalFupa]

Soooo were dealing with the exact same people as before. Got it.

 

[Proteus]

It's a conspiracy by the American Medical Association and the Trilaterial Commission to lock people in their homes while they dance naked in the streets.

 

[Deleted member 2752]

They are out in full force. I follow someone who keeps track of conspiracy groups and they are exploding with new users right now.

 

[shadowsdarknes]

Always amusing to observe how the conspiracy factions never spar with each other.

Those who think this was a manufactured Chinese Bioweapon should actively be arguing with those who think this virus is just a deep state hoax designed to make an ordinary disease shut down the economy to undermine Donald Trump.

Either it's benign or its an act of war. Cmon conspiracy people! Duke it out amongst each other and leave normal people alone.

 

[Aisod]

I have somebody on my fb feed saying this isn'ta virus it is because the government is using 5g to make us sick and control us. Some people are hopeless.

 

[Deleted member 1476]

Had to deal with them since January.

 

[Parch]

Deniers is how the pandemic spreads. People can carry and spread the virus without having symptoms. As long as people think they're not sick, they deny that they could be spreading the problem.

 

[Buckle]

This is why I'm glued to the Qanon Anyomous podcast's new episodes right now.

Endlessly fascinated by what the crazy people have to say about this one.

We already do deal with those people since a while. Even Era has its large share of deniers.

That's not gonna last long... chances are everyone we know/if not ourselves will eventually be faced with the reality of this virus.

Dying from corona to own the libs will probably still be a reality though, for sure.

But how could God King Emperor Trump allow such a thing?

 

[the-pi-guy]

We have already been dealing with them for months.
I'd actually say it's gotten better.

We deal with ignorants, religious fanatics and backward thinking since the beginning of civilization. This fight won't be over anytime soon.

 

[Nivash]

They're already here. Check out #hospitalwatch. Bunch of knuckleheads standing outside ambulance intakes asking where all the corona patients are.

(thankfully they're a small group and the hashtag is shared by other people watching other things at hospitals)

 

[CreepingFear]

Covid 19 deniers should be punched in the face like the time Buzz Aldrin punched the moon landing denier.
