“Hey folks, how you doin’?
I just got a quick question about this whole COVID not-getting-vaccinated-and-running-to-the-fucking-hospital-once-you-get-the-virus fucking deal. Cause this shit is out of fucking control. Alright?
And I’m gonna give you a quick story on why I think it’s out of fucking control.
Last week I had to bring my wife into the hospital. She has stage 4 breast cancer, she was dealing with some symptoms and I had to bring her in to get some fluid drained, she was having some pain, blah, blah, blah.
She was in there for two days. On the third day - she honestly should have stayed one more day, maybe two more days, okay - but on the third day, instead of draining her fluid and what they wanted to do, they had to - they told us that she had to be discharged. Because they had no room left in the hospital, because of COVID.
Here is my question. Why - 99% of everybody that's in the hospital with COVID right now is unvaccinated, okay. If you really fucking believe that COVID's not real, and you really believe that it's not a big deal, and you really believe that you don't need to get the vaccine, that is your fucking right, okay. I'm not gonna argue with you about that.
What I am gonna argue with you about is you running to the fucking hospital once you get the virus. If you don't trust the medical field to prevent you from getting it, why do you trust them to cure you from it? Why do you run to the fucking hospital?
If you really believe that COVID's not a big deal and it's not this, that, the other, and you don't get the vaccine because of... stick to your fucking guns, and keep your motherfucking ass at home.
Stop running to the hospital, putting everybody else at fucking risk and, in turn, the collateral damage is people like my wife who actually need medical fucking help for a chronic fucking disease get kicked out of the hospital because your dumb ass is too stupid to go get a fucking vaccine shot.
Keep your ass at home. If you really believe COVID's not a big deal, prove it. Stick to your fucking guns, keep your ass at home and fucking deal with it.”

It’s not even just that they contributed absolutely nothing, it’s that they were actively detrimental and made everything worse.
Just like always.

What, precisely, did religion contribute, in a positive way, to the handling of the pandemic?
We had super-spreader churches; televangelists grifting their snake oil like crazy; imams and shamans claiming divine punishment; the Pope asking his god to eliminate the virus “with your hand”... right before things got really bad; preachers proclaiming the end of times; other preachers saying their congregation have a divine immunity, thereby authorizing them to not do even the absolute minimum to protect themselves or others; still other preachers insisting it’s a hoax and a lie anyway, authorizing the same thing; and believers and preachers alike claiming oppression and persecution for being limited to the first-world convenience of Zoom.
So it’s not even that religion is “irrelevant” - it would be fairer to say that it was actively detrimental.

Amidst the multiple layers of stupidity, we can at least give them credit for not denying it exists at all, I suppose...

After an Arabic Golden Age, this is what “science” looks like in the Islamic Dark Age.
The greatest luxury science provides is the luxury of not understanding - or outright denying - science.

If you’ve had a hand in any of them, even the ones that didn’t work out -- thank you.
We knew from the beginning that real humans would help us, while the various gods would remain fucked right off in people’s imaginations.

Do you have any picks for some of the most ridiculous pseudomedical garbage that you personally have seen religions/religious peoples hocking towards others (other than drinking urine, if that’s even possible)?
The two that come immediately to mind are:
Jim Bakker, who has been selling a fake “cure” for years called “Silver Solution”, which is colloidal silver. He ramped up his scammery once the coronavirus hit. He’s absolutely fucking shameless. He was told to stop by the state Attorney General, and didn’t.
When the credit card companies refused to process payments, due to it being a scam, he told his audience to send checks and cash, because it’s “God’s money”. The Attorney General sued, so he stopped, reluctantly, claiming religious freedom, but barely skipped a beat before turning around and selling a “seed” which would grow medicine for “anything”, implying but not overtly saying, the coronavirus.
This is a man who has already served time for fraud.
The other is Kenneth Copeland who has, as early as March repeatedly and multiply claimed to have extinguished the coronavirus, you know, by commanding “god” (clearly, his servant) to do his bidding, including with a “wind of god”, and to be able to cure the virus through the television. He’s declared Xtians to be immune from the virus, with a COVID “shield” due to his magic.
During all of the problems this year, he’s continued to ask for money, even more so than normally - you know, from all the people suffering from employment issues, and especially from those who lost their jobs entirely - including a certainly COVID-unsafe conference when he raked in over $1m in one day. With all this money, he bought a private jet. Because “god” wanted him to have it. One of the bright spots of 2020 has been that his show has been canceled. Unfortunately, as Jim Bakker proves, there’s always another scam to be pulled somewhere else.
The man is completely deranged. Just go on YouTube and look up “Kenneth Copeland” and then add your favorite word: creepy, crazy, unhinged. Have fun with it. Or go to Google Images and type in “Kenneth Copeland crazy eyes”. It’s worrying when you get multiple separate occasions for this kind of search.
But he’s also super-memable. Check out heavy-metal remixes of his sermons:

GANDHINAGAR: Sale of cow urine has picked up in Gujarat as belief that it has immunity boosting property gains ground in the state amid the coronavirus outbreak. Vallabh Kathiria, chairman of Rashtriya Kamdhenu Aayog, told ET that consumption of goumutra (cow urine) and goumutra ark, or condensed cow urine, in the state has risen significantly after the coronavirus outbreak to about 6,000 litres a day. Cow urine has long been promoted by cow entrepreneurs as a panacea for a myriad of ailments. Last month a small group of people in Delhi held a cow urine drinking party to highlight these properties. In Gujarat, cow urine is not only being sold for oral consumption, but is also being used to manufacture body spray to keep the “malicious microbes” away, said Kathiria. Kathiria said that while a lot of people have been consuming fresh cow urine as a preventive against illnesses, there is also significant demand for the ark, which is used for both gargling and drinking. “Apart from improving digestion, goumutra strengthens the lymphocytes and is reach in antioxidants,” said Kathiria, an oncology surgeon who was also Union minister of state for health and family welfare. He said “use of cow urine kills bacteria and would definitely be helpful in fighting the coronavirus”. Kathiria, who was heading the state’s ‘Gau Seva Ayog’ earlier, pointed out that about 700 ml of ark is produced from 1 litre of cow urine. The other cow urine-based product being developed in the state is hand sanitiser. Raju Patel, who runs a cow shelter in Ahmedabad, confirmed the spurt in demand. He said that while he was making about 80 to 100 bottles of ark every month earlier, the demand has shot up to around 425 bottles. “We are also adding Tulsi, ginger and other herbs to ark to develop a potent combination to fight cough and cold,” he said, adding that he is now refusing to take more orders. Labhshankar Rajgore, a retired teacher and a cow activist from Shami in Patan district, said he had developed the first body spray based on cow urine back in 2007. “The spray is useful to keep the virus away along with many other harmful germs,” Rajgore said, adding that in the wake of coronavirus outbreak, he has also developed sanitisers based on cow urine. Rajgore said he produces around 50 bottles a day to meet demand from Ahmedabad, Patan and Mehsana districts. “The lockdown is delaying the supply. Normally it is taking couple of days for us to deliver the product,” he said. Kathiria of Rashtriya Kamdhenu Aayog said, “There are about 4,000 gaushalas in the state, of which around 500 are involved in collecting and processing cow urine.” He said that with the demand of cow urine on the rise, the gaushalas can easily become self-sustaining. Speaking to ET, Kantilal Patel, a retired engineer claimed to have benefited from using Cow Urine. “My wife had suffered from cancer and we used to get fresh cow urine for her to drink in the morning,” Patel told ET. “She had greatly benefitted from it,” he said. “Goumutra definitely has a lot of potentials to keep the virus at bay,” he added.
