A self-proclaimed anti-vax mom is the subject of online backlash after posting a controversial video to prove that, in her eyes, COVID is not a big deal.
Jodie Meschuk is a mom influencer who believes that vaccines cause autism. She's even written a book about how she "cured" her own son's autism. Naturally, Meschuk isn't too thrilled about the push for Americans to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
To prove her point about COVID being overexaggerated, Jodie visited her local supermarket in Colorado. She proceeded to make a video of herself licking various things in the store, such as freezer handles and the cart handle.
Jodie Meschuk shocked many with an Instagram story showing her in a local grocery store in Colorado, licking a variety of items. She meant for the video to be shared with her 17,000 followers, but its truly bizarre nature took it viral in no time.
As a song about "living your best life" plays, we see Jodie and her children go into a grocery store without masks. "Oxygen and smiles are free," she boasts.
"Germs fortify your immune system," she explains as she licks the produce bags to open them.
"Exposure to germs builds defenses against asthma and allergies," she argues as she licks her fingers before and after touching things.
"Microbes help digestion," she adds as she licks the handle of a beer fridge.
"Terrain baby," she writes as she licks the handle of her shopping cart.
"Be Free! Love over fear," she concludes.
It's unclear if Jodie took the video down herself or Instagram intervened. After the fact, she addressed the "hate" she received for her video in a series of Instagram stories.
"So. Much. Hate today finding my page," she began.
"You know, when I first began to get targeted by the woke mob last year it was so so hard. Emotionally, physically, and it would deplete me for quite a few days."
"I would question my beliefs. I would question myself," Jodie continued.
"I see it so different now. These 'people' aren't even thinking for themselves. One could even argue that they are not even real."
Jodie is not alone in engaging in this behavior. Others have bragged on various social media about similar activities. It's unclear how much of it is internet talk and how much of it is actually happening, but it's pretty unsettling either way.
