Do you agree with my dad's conspiracy theory that the COVID vaccine is responsable for the increase in gun violence in the country?

[KostasKouvalis]

He said there was something in the vaccine that is causing people to be more angry and violent

He's on to something

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard

[contentious]

It's been proven that repeated COVID boosters/long COVID can lead to neurological damage... In other words brain damage. You've heard reports of brain fog from COVID vaxers, well that's one of the symptoms of neurological damage. So, it's within reason to suspect that population would have cognitive impairment, headaches (migraines), personality changes, memory issues, etc. Migraine patients have been reported to exhibit aggressive behavior in a number of studies. Neurological damage can also lead to impulsive behavior due to disruption in areas of the brain associated with self-control and decision making. So, sure it's possible, but I haven't seen specific studies on that topic.

It's not the most ridiculous thing I've heard. But it's pretty damn ridiculous. Basically, your father is a moron. Remind your father that the murder rate after COVID19 decreased, not increased. So by his illogical thinking, the vaccine resulted in a decrease murder rate. Of course it didn't do that either, but that's consistent with his thinking.

The entire idea is absurd.

You realize that there are a dozen completely different vaccines available? If your father is specifically singling out the mRNA vaccine, that is a German invention (BioNTech). We had dozens of millions of people vaccinated with it and still are not killing each other. 🙄

Vaccines of various types and technologies are at least partially responsible for many physical health problems. They COULD also be responsible for mental problems. IMHO, children should never be given ANY vaccines, regardless of which technologies were used to create them. "The 6th Annual Vaccine Safety Awareness Marathon" would be a great place to find out some critical info about this stuff. https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1djGXWaVmwBKZ

No. Its antidepressants. All mass shooters are on them.

[KostasKouvalis]

Really? 😮

[Opinion Owner]

Absolutely. The BBC did a documentary on it, pretty convincing stuff. The documentary has since disappeared

[KostasKouvalis]

I'm not surprised it disappeared

[FunkyMonkee]

It's possible, I guess but I've not heard that one before. I know it kills and cripples people, almost instantly, in some cases. It fucked up Eric Clapton's hands so he can't even play guitar anymore!

[NaultD]

Billions of vaccine accross the globe and USA is the only one with gun problems. Countries with larger more integrated gun culture have less gun problems than USA does.

I don’t know that there was a chemical per se. But the covid bullshit irreparably damaged society. The “experts” were found to be liars. There’s no faith in any of our leaders, and trust has been broken.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Then why have you Yanks been offing each other as long as I can remember?

[dustybiker2]

Gun makers contribute to gun violence in the US.

[OneViewpoint]

Your father is a moron.
