If there was any justice in the world, people like this would die, not the people that take care and vaccine and that those morons bring the virus to.

If there were any justice in the world, this guy would be an assistant shift supervisor at Burger King and infections would be dwindling by now because people in positions of power who say shit like that would have been laughed off the face of the earth years ago.

“The Biden brown shirts are beginning to show up at private homes questioning vaccine papers,” Feaman wrote on July 20, incorrectly implying government officials would be showing up at people’s homes to question their vaccination status, comparing them to the Nazi Party paramilitary wing.

I thought the Republican party were all in favour of TLAs knocking on peoples doors and demanding documentation, or was that not meant to happen to white right wingers?

I have been hearing this from the insane religious right for months. The American Taliban needs to be kept far from the levers of power.

This one made me laugh. Until I remembered that measles is roaring back because of these [unprintable] [unprintable]s.

What if they also ask them how they voted last year, would that be okay?

You can’t negotiate, compromise or reason with this. You either win or lose to it.

Something that zentrum corporate media outlets, in their endless bottom-seeking race to appeal to the lowest common denominator, never seem to learn.

COVID is a beast all right. Nigh unstoppable. Unless you wear a mask and get the vaccine. But other than that, nigh unstoppable.

Huh, just yesterday I was wondering when they were gonna start saying this. And contemplating making masks with a UPC and the number 666 on them. And now here’s this guy.

Dear Mr. Feaman,

If the vaccination is truly the “mark of the beast”, can you point out the members of the crowd that “bear that mark (are vaccinated)?” Bonus points if you can identify if they are un-vaccinated, first dose, and second dose.

I read his name as “Fearman” and think that the updated spelling is more apt to his platform.

Lest anyone think this is a crazy outlier statement, it is not. A science podcast I listen to recently did an extended interview with a vaccine-hesitant person, and she and her entire community believed this. Some portion of Evangelicals believe the mark of the beast from the Bible refers to a government program of control and it’s the first step in some global totalitarian regime. They believe the COVID vaccine is it, and this is not a small group of people. There’s a branch of Evangelicalism that is warping together classic End Times and Rapture mythos with modern conspiracy theories like The Illuminati and so on. Her community had not yet fallen in with QAnon, but there was a lot of overlap in beliefs, so I’m sure it’ll happen.

I recommend using Code39 instead of UPC. You can encode any string you want, and almost anything that parses bar codes will handle it just fine.

No no, the mark of the beast would have been the smallpox vaccine that left a scar.

The guys you read about are putting on a show, gunning for the operational controls for “justice” …

While Nancy and the gang are arguing over who gets what, the “anti-vax trolls” are re-drawing the border and gunning for a “grand ol” win in 2022.
