So did Irish leprechauns magically inject him with the vaccine while he slept, and a chiropractor can somehow see that?
Not my screenshot please don't comment.
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.
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.
Worth noting that the chance of a stroke being triggered by a chiropractic neck adjustment is extremely low, but it does happen, and I bet if you look at stroke cases a good chunk of them recently had a neck adjustment. That said, chiropracters are complete horse shit.
I work in neuro and this is entirely true.
You don't get a stroke from a neck massage
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.
There is some (light) evidence that some of the adjustments may be beneficial with some back issues, etc.
Having said that, the field of chiropractic medicine is, just like homeopathy, medical quackery and should be outlawed.
The few accidentally beneficially things should be included with other medical fields, and this nonsense should just be prohibited.
I'm tired of the vast majority of people holding on to childhood beliefs and just letting that grow and fester to the point where they believe absolute nonsense. Yeah, pyramids under my bed will help me sleep because they channel my chakras on June the 15th because I'm a scoprio, or some other utter nonsense. Same as praying to Jesus as night. All of it is at the level of still believing in Santa Claus and the easter bunny. Grow up, become responsible adults, please.
The thing with chiropractors is they essentially market themselves as specialty doctors, and most people think they actually are medical professionals.
I went to a chiropractor until she told me that the inventor of the practice had once cured someone's blindness.
"Bullshit," I immediately thought, and never went to any chiro again.
The results from a tarot reading and horoscope would be safer than going to a chiropractor.
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.
My mom goes to a quack chiropractor. He mostly sells her vitamins (by magically divining what she’s deficient in using straight-up fraud “kinesiology”) but keeps her believing by occasionally giving her medically significant advice. He’s still grifting her decades later off of saying she was deficient in magnesium after she complained about constipation. Yeah mom, it worked because that stuff is a laxative. No mom, he couldn’t tell you were deficient because your arm was stronger while holding a vial of magnesium. He’s just changing how hard he pushes on you. It’s fraud mom.
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)
I've had a good experience with a chiropractor I've been to. Did some "adjustments" and gave me some exercises to work out my muscle problems where I've been feeling pain in my neck and shoulders. Did those exercises everyday and they definitely helped out. I haven't been back in like a year or two with no plans of coming back.
I go to a chiropractor for chronic back pain. they do wonders. the trick is to find someone with actual qualifications, not the sketchy ones that hurt peoole
I wouldn't even know where to start unwinding this Gordian knot of reasoning.
Hey bb, you up need to get vaxxed? 😏 🔥
Wait, it isn't?
I need to have a serious word with my doctor...
Gordian knot
The standard way of dealing with those would probably work here too. Swift and painless, and the knot is no more.
There is no knot. It's the women's fault as usual. That harlot being vaccinated and all.
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.
No someone expected them to know that and did not tell them
No, he caught the vaccine from his wife. It's contagious.
If that actually happened things would be so much better.
Just so you know ladies, I’m fully vaccinated, so if anyone needs it just hmu 😎
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.
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
Could you translate it into sane-people-language as well?
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"
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.
this happened to me too
edit just the neck pain part friggin jetblue can you believe it i left my neck pillow at home and all they had were crumby inflatable ones i should have sued
crumby
til crummy and crumby are two different words
edit it was crumby though that thing was used for sure
Doing a cervix adjustment on her son does seem like a bad idea
Of all the stupid things in this post, this isn't one of them. 'Cervical' can refer to the cervix or to the cervical spine, basically the neck bones.
'Tis joke
I wonder who they voted for 🤔
People need to know
Get vaccinated and don't go to chiropractors (at least not before going to a real doctor first).
Get vaccinated and don't go to chiropractors

Fixed that for you. There is no situation that going to a chiropractor would be a good idea. They are not medically trained. They are charlatans full stop.
There's a chiropractor near me who also has a master's degree in sports medicine. He has being on the medical team for several national teams at multiple Olympic Games. Local doctors refer patients to him and some of them go to him themselves.
I agree that the majority of chiropractors do little good, and sometimes a lot of bad, but certainly in this case he has been able to achieve results that doctors could not.
My physio has a wall of degrees; none of them from UoPhoenix. \shrug
And wear a mask on the plane
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.
I'm so confused.
They think what "vaxxed" him was the Covid he caught. Similarly, Czech "singer" Hana Horká (technically, she sang, but wasn't anywhere near famous) intentionally contracted Covid to avoid the vaccine requirement and died.
They think what "vaxxed" him was the Covid he caught
Or the vaccinated wife. Or visiting a sane country. You never know with these lunatics. Anything except the quack that caused the stroke.
Ahh. Thank you.
I'm impressed that she knows "all intents and purposes"
This reminds me of a message my wife, a teacher, received from a parent about her daughter having a headache because her tummy hurt (third grader).
I don't see why. Bellyache causes stress / crying / lack of sleep, those cause headache. Completely reasonable.
And periods, which can have both symptoms, can start as early as eight years old, so there's that, too.
Also, I don't see why a teacher should question why a pupil is sick (and even less why she would share their private information with her partner or anyone else and still be allowed to have contact with children or any position where she might have access to personal information); parent says she's sick, that's all the teacher needs to know.
So basically:
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 know covid is associated with weird clotting issues, I'd bet money that combined with the "adjustment" contributed to the stroke. If any of the story is true ofc
Vertebral artery dissection. Very common chiropractic caused stroke. Vision changes are common in it.
Chiropractic strokes are a known thing, and Kevin Sorbo is one of the known victims. I think he was already an asshole before it, but it certainly didn't make him less of one if so.
My wife's best friend is a nurse, before covid she told me that she had four patients that suffered a stroke after visiting a chiropractor. Back pain can be awful. I've known a couple of people who who were helped by them.
I would think it could be both things for sure
