better to start kissing everyone with cold sores, and give everyone mono, or CMV, and chickenpox at the same time, since all of those are herpes viruses. they can try herpes B virus(but this comes from a wild animals.

So what's her deal, anyway?

TL;DR: 10 pounds of crazy pressed into a 5 pound sack.

Greene has promoted antisemitic and white supremacist views including the white genocide conspiracy theory, QAnon, and Pizzagate. She has amplified conspiracy theories that allege government involvement in mass shootings in the United States, implicate the Clinton family in murder, and suggest the attacks of 9/11 were a hoax.

Reading from the russian script she was given to.

She is, indeed, a blivet

She's a fan of Metallica's first studio album

Sorry for the kids, but I have simply given up to care about the members of this suicide cult.

[-] GratuitousStealth@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

As a former child (read: captive) of ultra conservative christian fuckwits, I implore you to try to care. It’s not those kids’ fault they have shitty stupid parents.

[-] imvii@lemmy.ca 9 points 7 months ago

I will always vote and support laws that allow children access to proven medical treatments without the permission from the parents.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

I do care and feel sorry for the kids, but I cannot change their parents.

[-] Embargo@lemm.ee 8 points 7 months ago

Don't you fucking dare demonise the demons!

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Yeah, they aren't even real!

[-] StrawberryPigtails@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 7 months ago

Well, that is certainly one way to vax a community against most contagious diseases. And I will admit that it’s better than not vaccinating at all. But not by much. The standard vaccine protocol would be cheaper and more effective.

Damned fool of an idiot.
