"When the chips are down, these civilised people will eat each other"
Kelly Slater’s views of government-mandated vaccines ain’t a secret.
When tennis ace Novak Djokovic was cut from the US Open cause he wouldn’t get jabbed Slater wrote,
“You could just walk across the southern border. RIDICULOUS”
The eleven-time champ waded into a similar fracas when Djokovic was booted out of Australia despite a vaccine-exemption. Slater said Victorians, who were locked in their homes for a total of 262 days, the longest of anywhere in the world and shot with rubber bullets and bashed by police if the gov’s edicts were ignored, were suffering from Stockholm Syndrome. He even suggested there be a name change for the condition where hostages fall in love with their tormenters to “Melbourne Syndrome”.
“It’s sad to see the celebrated division by the ‘virtuous; vaccinated. If you’re vaccinated why are you concerned/worried about anyone else’s status… unless, of course, it doesn’t protect you? Or you’re scared you’ll catch it or upset you had to take the risk of vaccination yourself? So much brainwashed hatred in people’s hearts regardless of vax status.”
When readers argued against his case, Slater was quick to push the blade home, demonstrating a broad knowledge of the disease and the hastily produced vaccine, deftly shutting the door on debate.
Hoarse was the phlegm of the snicker from surf fans, however, convinced of the righteousness of government and the infallibility of the vaccines and so on.
Now, as suppressed information pours into the light Slater, who was belted by the press a year ago when he claimed he knew more “about being healthy than 99 percent” of doctors, appears to be right.
Earlier today, beneath a video compilation of mainstream press stories from the COVID era Slater tweeted,
Fauci used to say it took decade to approve a vaccine. The attacks against the unvaccinated were nothing short of evil. If a vaccination works the vaccinated would have concern for the unvaccinated, not hatred. Once that attack started it was clearly beyond suspicious.

The tweet was viewed almost ten thousand times and the response mostly pro-Slater.
“100% Kelly! I was attacked and ridiculed for my decision. Glad I stood my ground.”
“Onya for sticking your neck out and not just luxuriating on your laurels”
“Kelly you’re the man!”
And this epic retort,
I’ll never forgive or forget being told to move on by police for standing still on a deserted beach, drying myself after a surf. 1hrs exercise per day. This fake fisherman was a classic though 🤙 pic.twitter.com/wGAE2r44vq

Now that the dust has settled and the apocalyptic virus seems to’ve been forgotten, how do you feel about the whole thing now?
You thrilled you got the needle and its various sequels?

Too late, the human gene pool is already polluted by all the babies kept alive in the past 150 years by modern medical practices. Billions of them. Sterilization is the best answer but will never happen because people are not cooperative on a large scale and it’s very extreme.
Education is the only the other answer to achieve moderation. Educated women don’t have ten kids , normally.

Anti biotics didn’t exist during the civil war, that’s why they used maggots.
I’m not vaccinated and currently recovering from a bad case of covid. I have a headache still two weeks after testing negative. I’m starting to wondering if it’s ever going to go away.
Haven’t taken antibiotics since I had Lyme disease in the 90s. I’m a big believer in preventive medicine and what you call natural medicine.
But Isn’t everything technically natural? even “unnatural” human-made stuff (like Fritos, Cheetohs, and poodles) don’t exist in the wild, they are made by nature. Because nature made humans, and therefore anything humans make is natural.
I was not being obtuse.
Just pointing out the hypocrisy in your statement that people should not use modern medicine .
Fun fact. Bong resin makes an excellent poultice for cuts.
Amputation is not modern or medicine.
But antibiotics are and they have saved countless people from amputation
Oh, yeah, it’s all a conspiracy, keeping you from that life you deserve to live; the game is rigged, Mommy, the world took my ball… Whaaah! So funny.
Thanks for the effort. But thats too much to read. I know its hard to keep all your conspiracy research to yourself but try keep it short or boredom takes over.
Of course I watched the video. And spare us your coke can fantasies please
Poor Kelly – still doesn’t understand how vaccinations work, but “knows more about staying healthy than 99% of doctors”
Infuriating
3x vaxed. Not gotten COVID yet that I know of. Better safe than sorry. Wore masks. Avoided crowds. I don’t want Long COVID, thanks. My brain is fucked and foggy with ADHD as it is. Don’t need more on top of that.
All this fuss over the common cold
We should have just injected bleach no?
Silly me to even consider the possibility of a person like you potentially being bothered by nazis.
I don’t believe that you are really for doing nothing.
Are you willing to stop taking anything but herbal medicine and let your self die if you get something like an infected cut?
Or let your kids die?
Actually herbal medicine would be doing something and you propose doing nothing.
Seems inhumane.
Isn’t modern medicine developed communally to ease the suffering of those leading miserable lives?
Overpopulation is the cause of almost all problems human face.
I think limiting the number of children people can have is the only real solution. The population would be cut in half every 20-30 years.
In five generations there would be five hundred million people as opposed to todays nine billion
Your point?
Dude, you are beyond full of shit.
Gain of function in Wuhan means nothing to you? You’re probably super into censorship and being governed hard.
I live in Mexico – there’s no government down here. Keep drinking that juice; it’s good for Newsmax’s ratings.
Never heard of newsmax?
Bow to the health wizards. One an all bow down to the experts.
Hmm perhaps, but the slide towards the orange guys authoritarianism and hate is definitely in the wrong direction.
So, you think the world would be better off without modern medicine?
Or do you think people should be sterilized after their first child?
Haha, even a sheep understands that misunderstanding and misusing statistics for ideological reasons is obvious and dumb. Regardless, I fully agree that our shit stinks in South Africa and things are pretty fucked up right now. But the waves still fire and the crowds are minimal. So there’s that. Again not sure why you pivoted to the stench levels in South Africa when we were talking about Covid.
