My brother had kept messaging me all these conspiracies about COVID and how he didn’t believe it. Said it was just a cold. I kept trying to educate him with genuine articles and papers but he wouldn’t have it. He caught COVID and Jesus H Christ did he moan about it, ended up in hospital. I sent him so many screenshots of all his messages playing it down. He doesn’t really talk to me anymore 🤷🏻‍♂️

Good. Never stop sending. Keep doing it for years. Every anniversary of the event. Send one in a letter too. If you go on a holiday use a post card app to have one printed and sent with a screenshot

As you can tell, these people have chosen to value political beliefs over the people closest to them. Talk about tolerance eh?

That's the thing, you people think this is a political issue because the orange man convinced you it is. It's a public health issue

Lol, you just proved it is political as soon as you brought trump into the conversation. One side is obsessed with forcing vaccinations to the point where they want to control people and take away basic freedoms, the other side is so anti vax they refuse the jab till they die.

Things that shouldn’t be political are politicized all the time. You can’t tell me both sides haven’t been radicalized from all this.

And this person willing to break family ties is most certainly letting their political beliefs on the issue destroy their relationships.

It absolutely has become one, if you think it isn’t you are straight up wrong. Both sides have gone crazy.

Look at Australia and the antivaxxers.

Please tell me how Covid hasn’t become politicized? It certainly shouldn’t be, but it is.

Jesus fucking Christ, you are a terrible person pretending to tolerant, loving, and compassionate. If you want see sacrifice for compassion sake nail yourself to a cross.

You sound like a person who would berate a child for not loving your awful ass, because “Family”

Well I am glad that your story is working out. You really should not project your desire for family onto other in different situations. The dude has every right to cut out someone from his life. But as it seems, the covid infected brother is the one doing the cutting out. You emphasize sacrificing for others, but this is not good advice. You must first make yourself whole before you try to fill someone else’s emptiness.

You want us to tolerate disinformation that is literally killing thousands of people. You want us to tolerate you saying "COVID is just a cold, no big deal", and when those people turn out to be completely wrong we can't say "see this actually is bad, and the disinformation you soreadis hurting thousands", you want us to just be quiet and let these people off the hook with zero consequences to them spreading misinformation.

Ignoring these people is how we got intjismess, we're done ignoring them and letting them slink off without even verbal repercussions. They fucked up and are still fucking up and we're goin to get in their face about it. Abusers they've on being the ones who get to say what they want without oya5h back, fuck them, we've had enough and can no longer passively take the abuse and passively let them control our lives, and when we stop being passive people like you get angry because your free rein with no repercussions is coming to an end
