    Antivaxxers are now taking the trope of "#shedding" to the new extreme of "self-spreading, self-propagating transmissible vaccines" and applying it to #CovidVaccine.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2021/05/12/are-any-of-the-covid-19-vaccines-self-spreading-self-propagating-transmissible-vaccines/ …

        Some anti-vaxxers believe a conspiracy that the vaccinated will “shed” harmful proteins onto the unvaccinated This conspiracy is leading some anti-vaxxers to protect themselves from the vaccinated by *wearing a mask and social distancing* https://www.vice.com/en/article/88nnwg/anti-maskers-ready-to-start-maskingto-protect-themselves-from-the-vaccinated …

        What on earth is a "self-spreading, self-propagating" vaccine? Some paranormal substance? 🤔🙄

        I guess the original Edward Jenner-era cowpox inoculation could fit in that category? I think there were a few cases of human-to-human cowpox transmission. Fortunately we've moved on a little since then 😀

        How do you deal with writing about these topics without smashing your head into a wall everytime you start analysing their rhetoric?

        The that stealth cootie brigade would make easy work of it because they don’t mask, right? 🤣🤣🤣

        Vaccinated people can still get covid and shed covid but the vaccine doesn't cause shedding. Perhaps folks are confused because they don't understand that the vaccines don't stop the spread of the virus only the development of illness from infection.
