Episode 228: The Piss Drinking Vaccine Police
Added 2023-04-22 18:38:07 +0000 UTCThe anti vaccine movement is still relatively fringe, despite exploding during the pandemic. But what happens when someone is too extreme even for the most dedicated antivaxers? That’s the tale of Christopher Key, aka Vaccine Police. In 2021 he made a name for himself by traveling from city to city while wearing a custom “Vaccine Police” shirt and fake badge in order to harass pharmacists, health executives, and city council members. We track his decades-long history of pushing disreputable health treatments — including what he euphemistically calls “urine therapy.” And we learn how his antics have led to multiple arrests and shunning by the anti vaccine community and even Donald Trump himself.

Not sure if you're joking, but serotonin can't cross the blood-brain barrier. You can't just ingest/inject it to make yourself feel better. Sadly. I think some humans just like drinking pee.

2023-04-27 22:47:08 +0000 UTCOh.... oh jake oh honey listen there's something fucked up about the world that you need to know about.....pet stores sell pet supplies that are actively dangerous for pets. A heat rock is not a good idea for any pet because of exactly what happened to your lizard.....but also antlers can be dangerous for dogs to chew on because pieces can break off and get swallowed or break teeth....love you boo but also don't think something is good or safe because a pet store sells it
2023-04-27 16:25:06 +0000 UTCI had a heat rock and heat lamp and my leopard gecko was fine. He lived 8 years. I know they're supposed to live longer but reptiles are boring.

2023-04-25 14:59:22 +0000 UTCI’m not sure if this has already been commented, but 88 has been a white supremacist/ neo-nazi symbol for some time. 8 representing the 8th letter in the alphabet, or h. The first h is for “heil” and the second is for you know who..
2023-04-25 06:18:51 +0000 UTCThis guy was heavily featured in the Atlantic’s documentary “Shadowland.” They made him out to be a sad, sorry, clown. He is estranged from his family, and was terrified he was going to get arrested for suggesting people drink bleach and then gave it out to folks. He also had a storage unit filled with those stickers. They definitely left out the worst of actions and words in the doc. Thanks for filling in the gaps QAA.

2023-04-25 02:27:20 +0000 UTCSo weird that they'll lean on a non-binding set of principles when it suits them (Nuremburg) but rail against other non-binding actions plans (Agenda 21, 15 minute cities) for definitely being tyranny.

2023-04-24 20:02:42 +0000 UTCThat's just one of the main rhetorical lines a lot of the anti-vaxx conspiracy nuts have relied on for some while now, including my own pilled family. Nuremberg is a familiar reference... One of their favourites even. There is a consistent attraction to extreme dramatics within these circles because those are the feelings that got them hooked in the first place.
