While this is awesome, I can already imagine anti-vaxxers are now deathly afraid of ultrasounds lol
Brace yourselves! Vaccination with sound conspiracies coming in!
“The IRS called, they vaccinated me trough my phone in my ear!!?”
“Mass vaccinations trough radio!!?”
As much as I hate fucking mobile alerts, they already thought the last test was some magical bullshit.
Ya see that one where someone's landlord went loopy and cut power to their building because he'd consumed a bunch of conspiracy nut stuff?
I didn't but I'm not surprised. I feel like this mystical thinking is rooted in our acceptance of religion to some extent.
This will just be their proof of the 5G-Covid link.
Ultrasound vaccines and 5G!
They push the vaccine through your skin with 5G!
I know you are joking, but I suspect that many people would swallow this idea while without any thought whatsoever.
Yes, we live in an age of uncritical thought.
They were already terrified of phone signals.
Only fast ones though. Slower ones can't penetrate the skin.
Hilariously enough, it's closer to the other way 'round. Higher frequencies means more bandwidth but they can be blocked easier. Lower frequencies can go farther before being attenuated too much.
One of my friend's friends has a PhD in psychology, but she thinks that nuclear radiation has healing properties and told me to move out of NYC because there was too much 5G everywhere. She still uses a smartphone though, just on a selfie stick on speakerphone 🤣 She also told me that she was afraid of the radio in her car because of the radio waves.
She could at least use wired headphones. Or is it one simple trick to stop people from calling you?
She's just a bit out there, there is no logic in her actions.
That's fucking amazing.
In a way she’s actually not wrong. That’s what radiotherapy is. Focused nuclear radiation to heal cancer.
She doesn't have cancer though, she's perfectly healthy and is an "alternative medicine practitioner". She said she sleeps with a piece of thorium under her pillow.
Regardless of it being used for cancer treatment, nuclear radiation isn't good for the body in any way. Various forms of radiation (not just nuclear) are harmful, like getting too much sun.
Yikes!
I'm convinced that she's just nuts. My friend, who is her friend (how I met this woman), told me that the woman has started "Urine Therapy" and I just said "Jesus fucking Christ... I... I just have nothing to say" because I didn't wanna get into a debate with him about it.
Wanna bet that they will somehow combine this with 5G conspiracies?
"It's all just a wave after all!!!!!!" ^/s^
That's just what I said above, this will be their "proof" of the 5G-Covid link.
When they'll hear about it they'll make ultrasound themselves)
Wut?
"Translating" they are gonna freak out and scream their pants out
Idk, anti vaxxers aren't afraid of needles/syringes as far as I understand. They don't want that kind of substance to be put inside their body, regardless of the method of administration
I mean, yes, but a lot of them also think it's a conspiracy where world leaders are trying to vaccinate everyone because ??? Those types will start avoiding ultrasound to not get tricked into getting vaccinated.
The best part is "depopulation by helping people stay healthy" e.g. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
that's the joke
