lol I've travelled a bunch during the pandemic, and whenever I'd get a mandatory test to return I'd test positive. Instead of staying put like a good fuck, I would Photoshop "positive" to "negative" and promptly get on my flight. fuck em.

Did you tell them that the treatments people who believe their false positives receive are highly toxic and often cause cancer and that this covers up the doctors mistake with the original false positive as well as making the doctor a ton of money for the entirely unnecessary cancer treatment and that a lot of people die young as a result of this process?
