Plumbing new depths of stupidity

Yep, stupid is the only word for it. And before I cut to the chase, to be clear, people can behave stupidly and hold stupid beliefs even without having the general characteristic of being stupid. This distinction is often lost on those accused. It can happen even to people with exceptionally high IQs. Note the dread Nobel disease.

So, now that many people are facing vaccine mandates, the new fad is to get vaccinated and then "undo" the purported ill effects by various insane methods:

 

In a TikTok video that has garnered hundreds of thousands of views, Dr. Carrie Madej outlined the ingredients for a bath she said will “detox the vaxx” for people who have given into Covid-19 vaccine mandates.

The ingredients in the bath are mostly not harmful, although the supposed benefits attached to them are entirely fictional. Baking soda and epsom salts, she falsely claims, will provide a “radiation detox” to remove radiation Madej falsely believes is activated by the vaccine.  Bentonite clay will add a “major pull of poison,” she says, based on a mistaken idea in anti-vaccine communities that toxins can be removed from the body with certain therapies. 

Then, she recommends adding in one cup of borax, a cleaning agent that’s been banned as a food additive by the Food and Drug Administration, to “take nanotechnologies out of you.” . . .

 Now, some anti-vaccine groups are recommending that people who have been vaccinated should immediately self-administer cupping therapy (an ancient form of alternative medicine that involves creating suction on the skin) to speed up the “removal of the vax content” including first making small incisions on the injection site with a razor. Other memes give instructions on how to “un-inject” shots using syringes. . . .

It is unclear what Madej means by “nanotechnologies,” but on a podcast called “Reawaken America” she falsely claimed there is a “liquified computing system” inside coronavirus vaccines. She has also claimed the vaccines are a “gateway to transhumanism.”

 

All this is, obviously, utter gibberish. I would not have believed this possible, but last week, hundreds of people gathered in Dealey Plaza in Dallas to greet the reincarnation of John F. Kennedy Jr., who was going to restore  TFG to the presidency. Did these people necessarily do poorly in school, are they unable to tie their shoes or feed themselves? No. But in this regard, they are incredibly stupid. And the point is, you can't argue with stupidity because it does not respond to facts or reason. It's just stupid. 

 

And white Christian supremacy is also stupid. There is no reason at all why, by virtue of my European Christian ancestry, I have some common interest with others of EC ancestry, that I don't share with other human beings; and there is even less reason why I should derive any privilege from it. That's stupid.
