Covid Denier Cliches

The hospitals aren’t busy at all in reality

Hardly any of these deaths are down to covid only

(Breaking lockdown protocols) is good for my mental health

"Why is nobody getting the flu?"

Chips don't bounce

I have no doubt that some people are struggling with their mental health, but I would wager it is those that HAVE to stay indoors that suffer the most.

People claiming they are suffering from mental health because they can't do x, y or z including pints with the lads, is, as sid has put it, such a bad faith argument. Being annoyed is not a mental health issue.

People demanding opening pubs or gyms or whatever up because of mental health will plunge those people who have to cocoon into an even deeper hole. Some of the sh*te on twitter this morning is f**king pathetic.

Using mental health as an argument in bad faith is really f**king low.

The way the "open it up ta fook" shysters have tried to use mental health as a weapon has evolved

At the start, it was "old people being told not to leave their houses is fascism"

Then it evolved into "we can open up and shield (another denialist cliche) the elderly and vulnerable"

What was "shielding" supposed to be? Staying indoors - the exact thing they were previously arguing against

Now it's "I want to make money and I'm going to invoke mental health as a blackmailing tool to open it up ta fook"

Anybody really concerned about mental health would have been concerned with things like proper furlough payments, provision of hotel accommodation to enable people living in households with multiple people to isolate, and indeed proper supports for businesses

But their answer is: open up now!

And they refuse to understand that means they will be closing again in three weeks when cases skyrocket again

Or they don't care

It's a scamdemic, made up by a new world order to control us etc....

Wake up sheeple

The nation holds it's breath...YES, WE'RE THERE!!!

Lads the vaccine kills sperm. It’s all a plan to halt the growth of the population

PM me for all forum moderation queries.

"Latte-drinking liberals cheerleading the greatest attack on our civil liberties ever" (What's wrong with drinking a latte?)

"Face nappies"

Another really bizarre one that is cropping up lately and has a clear bang of far right ideology off it is: "Where are all the REAL men gone?" or "We need some REAL men"

There's a fierce bang of incelism off these

That's Jamie Bryson's most used term on twitter.

Quite funny as he can't pronounce his L's.

The new thing the deniers have been saying is that so many people in a care home have died despite getting the vaccine a few weeks ago

In the deniers' playbook, people die with Covid, not from it

And they die FROM the vaccine, not with it

They also seem to have a problem understanding that the vaccines take a while to work once it's stuck in your arm

And also that they aren't 100% effective, and were never claimed to be

Yet paradoxically, the vaccines are also used as justification for immediate opening up, even though they apparently don't work and also kill people
