@mushroom_soup He was vaccine truster before. Also cancer affects your brain, in my experience a lot of people prefer to give up, especially old ones.
@Marakus So basically what you're saying is taking MAGA health advice gives you the cognitive equivalent of having a brain riddled with cancer
@Marakus Anti medicalism on the right has gotten out of hand, just yesterday I saw someone on Twitter say that eating beef tallow was an appropriate substitute for taking literal antibiotics
@Marakus His reasoning behind antibiotics being 'bad' was because he 'always felt bad after taking them' YEAH BECAUSE YOU TAKE THEM WHEN YOUR BODY IS FIGHTING OFF AN INFECTION, THAT GENERALLY IS NOT A PROCESS THAT FEELS GOOD
@Marakus Another person was like "well what did people do before antibiotics then huh?" PEOPLE DIED. PEOPLE DIED ALL THE TIME FROM INFECTIONS, WE HAD WHOLE PLAGUES OVER IT. SOMEONE WOULD GET A CUT ON THEIR FOOT AND THEN A WEEK LATER DIE FROM SEPSIS THIS WAS A COMMON THING
