    What about this one?

    And each one of those people on the plane will go into a 2 week quarantine whenever they arrive where they arrive.

    Those people queuing who do not get on the plane will not quarantine as they will not have been in close contact with multiple people due to observing social distancing while queuing.

    It takes a special kind of stupid to not understand that.

    To get on the plane they have all been PCR negative tested..which will be one of the requirements for the EU green cert..

    Once this green cert is actually operable the EU won't tolerate our hotel jail but I suspect the same behaviours will stay in place..

    Why are they queuing with their bags if they aren't getting on the plane?
    Special kind of stupid indeed

    Lol Stellar counter argument there.

    So what's the point you're trying to make?
    What's the point you were trying to make with the previous silly picture you posted?

    Why socially distance queue with your bag if you are going to be squashed into an airplane together.

    Is it not pointless.

    This was explained to it. You ignored it.

    Just like you ignored the questions in my previous post.
    Please address them now.

    How is it stupid? sitting close together on the plane is unavoidable. An infected person could spread it to those next to them on the plane.

    However that person is less likely to spread it to additional people when standing in the queue, why? because they are distanced from those other people

    Imagine being the idiot who caught SARS-COV2 because they ended up not traveling but didn't follow social distancing while queuing for check-in.

    But it is fascinating that you didn't logically think this through and tried to let a meme do the thinking for you. is this a trend, or a one off? Is it because it follows an agenda you're trying to push or did you genuinely look at that image and believe it's message? It also begs to question how easily manipulated you are if an image like that sways your beliefs.

    Lol Ben Garrison.
    He's no David Dees, but equally as nuts.

    Do you have any opinions on these images you're dumping?
    Any answers to the points raised?

    Are you just going to keep reporting twitter crap and ignore any conflicting opinions or scary critical thoughts?

    Does Ben Garrison label everything in his cartoons because he thinks his target audience is stupid and won't be able to figure them out otherwise?


    This is a rhetorical question. :)

    Yeah it's a flip up between him and bill gates. Seems to change with the weather. Which I'm sure either is manipulating with their nefarious technology. Anyway onto more positive news.

    It’s amazing that the people who laugh at sheeple believe any amalgamation of text and images.

    Sometimes it's helpful cause some of his pictures are a bit indecipherable.

    I'm convinced they're created at sites like this as a joke and kind of take off in the tinfoil hat community.

    Those who believe in conspiracy theories will believe anything unfiltered and unchallenged.

    Yet will unironically lecture others that they are "sheeple"

    Will aggressively state that their psuedo-science is the truth, but that actual science is a lie

    Will require zero evidence to believe some whacky conspiracy theory, yet all the evidence in the world won't convince them of the substantiated facts

    Will entertain and validate multiple contradictory conspiracies, never daring to question any of them, but constantly rail on about "questioning everything"

    I could go on and on

    It's one ****ed up hobby

    Yes the common thread seems to be that we (the sheeple) are frightened and that "they" are keeping us under control. Whereas i find the opposite is more apparent- the typical tin foil hat Facebook page is updated so often with pseudo science and literally exudes anxiety. The tin foil hatter "truth seekers" with an audience and decent social media profile seem to thrive on their status as purveyors of "the truth" and keep their followers well fed on endless lines of ****e.

    Nothing to explain because it looks nothing like a vaccine. It looks like a syringe/needle..... many things are injected.

    But hey, keep posting idiotic memes, no one has to debunk these silly conspiracies anymore, you're doing that all by yourself.
