    She’s a right-wing anti-vaxxer Musk fan who is also against Israel’s genocide? What the fuck?

      Alright, I know nothing about this person or the song, but I went to read the article to see where it says she is an “anti-vaxxer” and a “musk fan”, as well as “against Israel’s genocide”:

      In the song, May rails against “big pharma,” a “man-made virus,” “cancel culture,” and a war that she brands “genocide.”

      This is the only passage I could find that remotely hints about her stance about those things and I see the controversial “man-made virus” line, but that just means she believes the virus was man-made, e.g. it came from Wuhan’s lab, which is a hypothesis that was seriously considered, though still found less likely than the zoonotic one.

      Nothing there says she’s against vaccines. It does say she’s against Israel’s genocide though, assuming that’s the war being referred here (lyrics seem to confirm that).

      Searching for “vax” or “vaccine” in the entire article yields nothing.

      Searching for “musk” yields this verse in the lyrics:

      Mr. Musk, he said some s***, the lefts are angry

      Which… doesn’t seem to imply she’s a fan either (she might be, mind you, but one can’t conclude that from this article).

      So, when reading an article, let’s not extrapolate beyond what’s reasonable.

      Well, she was a nurse during covid. Did you even read the article before commenting?

          That’s strange, as I made mistake - in the article is written that she was “medical doctor” not a nurse.

            I was responding to your nurse claim, not what the article said. You said she was a doctor in your summary. And again, I know what she believes because I read the article. She’s an anti-vaxxer. That’s what the Big Pharma stuff is about. I’m not sure why you’re trying to argue that she isn’t anti-vax when she really obviously is.

            But fine, if you want to make this a big gotcha, you got me. I didn’t point out that you were wrong and she wasn’t a nurse.

            She’s still anti-vax. Hence the Big Pharma stuff that isn’t both the article and the lyrics you’re convinced I didn’t read. I’m not sure why you think I even suggested she was anti-vax if you think I didn’t read it.
