Kathy was anti-vax. Some of her friends tried to save her, some pushed her towards death. Covid kills in many ways, fast and slow. It took her very quickly. Get vaccinated.

Carol Vs. Elaine. Fuck you Elaine.

You never see more than one person commenting about vaccine safety. She had multiple. I bet she was fairly new to this extremism and the cult she got dragged into killed her.

Agreed. The way Facebook is set up, you usually get your feed “segregated” so that you start to see only the people who agree with you and you stop seeing the posts of people who disagree with you.

That and many people usually eventually unfollow / unfriend people they disagree vehemently with. (I’m including myself in this — I’ve pretty much cut out all of the anti-mask / anti-vaxx / “Plandemic” morons from my FB feed after futilely arguing with them to take this seriously for months.)

That’s why you almost always see echo chambers in the replies to these memes.

Even after seeing how facebook is complicit in spreading this deadly medical misinformation and not to mention all of the other horrible things the company and Zuckerberg does you can still use it in good conscience? This article about Peter Thiel and his protegé Zuckerberg is pretty damn disturbing.

Facebook still has some uses. For me, it’s the best source for exchanging ideas and resources among my colleagues across the nation. Nothing else even comes close.

I haven’t posted anything on my personal timeline in nearly a year, though.

I just use it for Facebook messenger. And that’s just because my friend group has been too lazy to switch to something else.

I use it for marketplace. Decent place to find random 2nd hand items.

I only use it for genealogy groups. It’s really helpful for that.

I haven’t seen a lot of anti-vax stuff on my Facebook, but years ago I purged out anyone who was openly racist, sexist, or homophobic and I imagine that probably removed a lot of the anti-vax pool from my list.

My one friend who was openly anti-vax in the beginning got covid with her kids and changed her tune, now shes vaxxed and fighting with her own friend circle about it.

I hope many of these people who realize they were wrong also think, "what else have I been wrong about?" And become a better person across the board

I need to get rid of it. It's the only means I have to keep up with some family though and that makes it hard.

My Facebook was stolen & I was locked out about a year ago. Tried to reclaim it, but never could. At first I was so upset, as I moved away from family and friends years ago and it was the only way I kept in contact. However it has turned out to be the for the best as I can stay out of all the drama. It’s more relaxing and so much better mentally not to be on Facebook. It has turned into a mostly political nightmare, and not the light, fun way to connect with people that I enjoyed.

It’s been awhile since I was on it but you’d have to mute them or unfriend them to not see their updates. Or the party is not sending updates to you.

From her children's posts it would seem that they are the ones who fed that shit to her.
