I've got some vegan/anti-vax friends and they told me at the start of Covid that the vaccine has a 100% kill rate (based on the very early testing when it was apparently given to very ill people, on their deathbeds). Zero evidence that the vaccines were the cause.

Don't take the vaccine! It will kill you.

4 or so years later and we are still waiting for literally billions of people to just drop dead, all those people that took the vaccine.

Any day now...

But really, if it killed 100% of people that quickly I'm sure we'd have seen it by now.

I'm pretty sure that being vegan is not relevant to the statements mentioned...

There's quite a bit of crossover between "vegan" and "crunchy new age woo woo alt-medicine"

And there's a huge overlap with conservative and antivax, and not much with conservative and vegan.

In any case, them being vegan is not relevant for the anecdotal example.

Up until COVID, anti-vax was a new-age lefty take. You'd usually hear it from the crystal healing types who try to avoid "chemicals". A ton of those folks were also vegan.
