    Why would you go to a chiropractor for any medical problem? Get a tarot reading and a horoscope, the results will be just as useful.

      You may very well think that, but my mum had a cold and went to a chiropractor, and within a week the cold was gone.

      Fucking miracle, mate.

      My neighbor is a neurologist and told me that an astoundingly high number of people who come to the ER due to a stroke had recently had a rapid neck adjustment by a chiropractor.

      I will never go to a chiropractor after what she told me.

      I was willing to accept that maybe there’s some actual medical use for chiropractors except now a large chiropractic chain is one of my clients at work and along with their rampant HIPPA non-compliance I’ve gotten to see how the sausage is made, how much of a conveyer belt they designed that does not stop long enough for any real personalized patient care I trust them less than I ever did (another client is the fact that they also own a chain of “natural medicine” stores which they often place in the same buildings as their chiropractic clinics)

      Some of them dabble in physical therapy and do some useful stuff. I think that may be why they keep a better reputation than, say, homeopaths.

    So basically:

    1. He went to Ireland with his vaccinated new wife.
    2. While there he got covid, but she didn’t. Probably because she was vaccinated.
    3. He recovered but ended up with long covid.
    4. To fix a completely misdiagnosed issue, his parents took him to a quack chiropractor, who tweaked his neck the wrong way and caused him to have a stroke.

    But yeah, the real reason for all his problems is a magical contagious vaccine. I swear this reality is so fucked because of these people.

    I can translate. Someone told them that being infected with covid was effectively equivalent to being vaccinated, and they took that the wrong way. The rest is just fear of things they don’t understand.

      Yeah a chiropractor-caused stroke was my first thought too. Some of those guys go way beyond their remit with what they think they can cure with fancy back cracking.

    My deepest hope in my heart of hearts is that the people who don’t believe in scientific evidence, (read: morons), are being fed this shit as part of a eugenics program designed to cull the dumb out of the herd. Therefore… Didn’t discourage these people in their beliefs! Eventually, they’ll fall victim to COVID, (or whatever the next pandemic might be), removing them from the gene pool, allowing Thanos’ plan to come to fruition, and affording us the chance to survive the nightmare our species is currently experiencing.

    Transcript for those who don’t want to try to read through the awful quality of this image

    Just had to share. My son, unvaxxed, married a wonderful girl Sept. of 2024. She is vaxxed. They went to Ireland for their honeymoon, and I realize that change of pressure in the plane probably contributed. He came back from the honeymoon sick with Covid. After covid, neck pain that kept him awake at night. My husband suggested that I take him to our chiropractor. After the adjustment he immediately noticed that his vision was not in sync with his brain. Turned out he had a stroke. He’s 29. He is doing fine now, but another chiropractor told me that for all intents and purposes, my son is vaxxed, and that chiropractors are being notified not to do any cervical adjustments on any patient who is vaxxed, and the lawsuits on chiropractors are rolling in, so people need to know

        I’ll give a stab at it.

        Ahem

        " i don’t understand modern medicine, it scares me because I’ve been told to be afraid of things that are different and that I don’t understand. I use pseudoscience like chiropractors, who increase the risk of health issues, and I am incapable of seeing that the medical emergency my son went through was not caused by vaccines, but since I’ve been told they are the worst thing possible, all maladies must be ascribed to the vaccine"

    Everyone knows that sleeping with a vaxxed person transmits the vaccine into your bloodstream. He’s lucky he survived.

    Surely then he should go to a homeopath and buy some very expensive water in which an undetectably tiny amount of the vaccine has been repeatedly diluted. That should unvax him in no time.
