Anti-Vaxxers Who Caved To Mandates Try To Undo Their Shots
Quote:In a TikTok video that has garnered hundreds of thousands of views, Dr. Carrie Madej outlined the ingredients for a bath she said will “detox the vaxx” for people who have given into Covid-19 vaccine mandates.
The ingredients in the bath are mostly not harmful, although the supposed benefits attached to them are entirely fictional. Baking soda and epsom salts, she falsely claims, will provide a “radiation detox” to remove radiation Madej falsely believes is activated by the vaccine. Bentonite clay will add a “major pull of poison,” she says, based on a mistaken idea in anti-vaccine communities that toxins can be removed from the body with certain therapies.

PolitiFact says she's no longer practicing medicine, hm............. can't get liability insurance is my guess.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

That seems needlessly cruel. All those people beating up a goat.

The Ngati Toa iwi have told anti-vaxxers to stop the use of Ka Mate haka during protests. The tribe have legal guardianship of that particular haka, but it's unclear if they have the legal authority to stop the nutters from using it.

I did not see what I just saw. Holy fuck, since when is a bingo drum wheel involved in jury selection?

Since always. It’s actually a pretty good random number generator.

Actor Alan Cumming made an interesting observation: “Things like the separation of church and state [in the United States] are just a joke. If the president did not end his speech by saying ‘God bless America’, there would be an outcry.”
Let's face it, he’s not wrong.
