I'd say 'Never Trust/Always Verify', however I wouldn't say that was tinfoil hat territory. More just common sense. As far as never getting vaccines, all one has to do is go to Reddit and look up the 'Herman Cain Award' subredit to read about people who didn't get vaccines because DumbFuck Donny told them there was nothing to worry about. We are almost to the point of a measles pandemic in the US now and COVID rages on in it's new form of Cicada.
It's all about exaggerated escalation to make it clear that im joking.
And this part also carries some weight towards the joking part
Sorry, COVID is a sore spot for me. My lady friend was a nurse of 40 years who's career was cut short by it. She now has long COVID, and will for the rest of her life. Not because we thought COVID was bullshit, but because 70 million other dumfuck rednecks thought it was.
