She is Trump supporter, MAGA and based in almost every way. Except in one way.
She is a big time cuck when it comes to the virus, yelling and cursing family members out behind their backs when they get together for holidays or don't wear masks and follow exact quarantine protocols. Her rage has only become more inflamed since recently one of my great aunts, who was 80, died in the hospital while having the virus.
I have told her repeatedly that I think the virus/quarantine is exaggerated to give the elites more control over us, which she seems to vaguely recognize is a possibility, but then she goes back into meltdown mode a day later and seems surprised I'm not as outraged as she is.
Normally she is one of the more reasonable people in my family, but every time she goes on a rant about this I am suddenly reminded of all the posts on TD mocking leftists who act like this.
If she is perfectly healthy she will be fine.
I've got a great uncle with a very weak immune system because of cancer, that is mostly fine after getting Corona. His wife who is going through chemo, because she also has cancer, isn't doing that well. She has a weakened heart and a blood clot in her leg from it.
If those two at their worse can survive it, then I think a perfectly healthy human being is fine.
Yeah, my grandfather got it for a little while, but he had mild symptoms and recovered pretty fast. And he's not in the best of health to begin with.
But she's still fixated on people who have died with the virus and is paranoid about the possibility of my grandmother getting it.
When this shit started 1 in 5 were supposed to die if they did nothing because ICUs would be overwhelmed because not enough ventilators... member all that bullshit and then Trump got them ventillators? I digress.
Anyway, turns out that 90% of people in ICUs, who were put on ventilators, died!
Ventillators don't save people they killed them. There is actually a beautiful conference call between 4 ventillators doctors and by the end of it, one of them is convinced he is killing people by simple medical malpractice, but its mostly due to failures of administration and outright fraud, I am sure.
Here is a link to that discussion, or parts of it, the original was on youtube but its long gone:

Vaccines are the perfect business, they can't be sued, Bill Gates' foundation is heavily invested in these businesses. The fraud continues in order to sell vaccines, and better yet, mandatory vacciness, that need constant boosting and tweeking. What a fucking gold mine of fascism.
Show her all the people demanding she be afraid of it while clearly not being afraid of it themselves. Nancy, Gavin and Tick Tock nurses.
Woah.... Are you.... Me?
Self? Is that you?
Shit man I have the same damned problem.... Even down to the aunt (hers) in 80's who is hospitalized (still living though, atm) with wuflu....
My mother is also hoping to get the Vax ASAP.... damn I don't know how or why, but even as a Trump supporter, she watches CNN and other MSM.... I don't understand it.
One suggestion for you, or for me:maybe show her something from doctor Scott Barbour. He seems to speak intelligently about the nonsense of the virus. There was a good vid on youtube on cirstenw chan, which is now nuked, but maybe it can be found elsewhere somehow. Or if not Jim, another of the doctors who are realistic about this bullshit....only issue I have in doing this myself is that she gets offended when I try to go against narrative of MSM on "the virus"....
Best of luck fren, and to others. I know we aren't alone in this problem.
Thanks fren, I really appreciate it!
I'm not entirely sure how she feels about the vaccine. Thankfully she seems a little uncertain and non-committal on it the couple of times we've brought it up.

She sounds utterly terrified of death. I go through this with my horrible mother who is also in her 80's. I just tell her she is going to die like everybody else so put a corn in it.
Tell her to STFU.
