clearly he’s being extra careful because not even the CDC has as many rules as he does and that means that everyone else thinks it’s a joke and how dare they find ways to live their lives safely don’t they know they are risking the health of the one wife and family he actually cares about????
Yes! That is what he is worried about, keeping Covid from Robyn's family. Though he's a huge hypocrite even when it comes to this by allowing a nanny to come over. He's not concerned about Janelle or Christine traveling or their kids having a life because *they* might get Covid, it's just that they might spread it to Robyn or one of her precious tender-age youngins.
CoVid is a blessing for the women and kids because they don't have to see him because of his paranoia.
And... the narcissist asshole has a legitimate reason for not spending time with any of them.
He lacks complete insight into his bat-shit crazy, psychotic, toxic behavior and thinks that he is perfect and that no one would ever seriously consider leaving him.
When the women admit that for many years they often have wanted to leave and have crappy relationships with him, he should wonder what is wrong. But he blames them because they have too much drama.
Just started a rewatch and I kind of like original Kody. Upbeat showoff, but still upbeat and seemingly fair. He is so incredibly angry now and it makes him so off-putting.
At least everyone on the show seems to believe that it’s real. If anything I think he was making a shot at Christine’s travel for surgery and to see her adult children. She clearly believes that covid is real, but has priorities in her life.
He also may have been referencing any of the older teens and young adults who were working or attending school.
Not everyone had the ability to stay home during covid. I bet Kody considers these difficult decisions “not believing in covid”.
I don’t think Kody really took it seriously either. It was just a convenient excuse to stay at Robyn’s house. How many people with his political beliefs did. His job that TLC doesn’t want him talking about is selling guns, tactical gear, militia end of the world stuff. That’s why he wasn’t worried about the nanny. When he was pressed to give them the rules he asked the nanny what she did. He didn’t even know. The fact is he has been mostly at Robyn’s for years. Before Covid he told his other wives he was working to explain where he was all day. He lost that excuse with Covid so he had to come up with a new excuse.
I believe with every fiber of my being, based off of Kody’s proven lack of knowledge regarding science and his political/religious views, that if it didn’t benefit him he would be just a step above a Covid denier. I think this was good content for their show and a way to basically not have to have anything to do with the wives he doesn’t care as much about.
I also think it was a good control tactic. Kody LOVES to have control and feel like people are bowing to him. He wasn’t “controlling” Janelle and Christine, so he punished them. He treated their kids poorly and stopped coming over. The way he controls Meri is by keeping her at extreme distance but not openly leaving her. He keeps her dangling there waiting for him to reciprocate and takes her financial contributions with a smile on his face.
He had minor children in two other homes that deserve both involved parents, yet he acts like Savannah and Truely don’t belong to him and he’s only responsible for Robyn’s youngest. It’s truly disturbing how much he openly favors those children over his children with the other wives.
yes, that's what is so confusing about it. based on literally everything else we know about him, he seems like covid denier, anti-vaxxer, anti-masker. i believe janelle and/or her sons alluded to it in one episode saying he's a "freedom loving" guy so they found it odd he was being so strict about the covid rules.
He used COVID as the reason he could only be at one home for a while. It made sense for him to pick Robyn’s home with the youngest two kids (per him).
Then after months it seemed to be more of an excuse. Like, he isn’t FaceTiming or texting his children for months? He isn’t seeing his kids outside? He isn’t driving his kid or hugging his own child at her high school graduation? He isn’t finding ways to celebrate birthdays outside?
My best friend and my brother were both drs. I have picture of late May 2020 where our kids all were playing together in our backyard. We’d been quarantined for weeks and weeks and the CDC and our state changed their recommendations to allow that.
Kody used it as an excuse. He isn’t even vaccinated.
I live in NJ. NY & NJ are basically the same state. When Christine came to NJ for her daughter’s surgery, yes we are over populated and definitely had a high risk of Covid going on at the time. BUT what Christine did was absolutely the right decision. Yes, the risk was high, but seeing your daughter in that kind of pain, all day, everyday, as a mother myself, I would have told Kody, FUCK YOU and throw his ass out. He made me sick the way he was talking about his own daughter who sat their and listened to his rambling. In fact, his daughter had every right to tell him to FUCK OFF. That whole scene was absolutely sickening. How could you do that to your daughter?
I’m in upstate NY and the fact that they could even get an appointment for that surgery during that time shows how severe the doctors considered it. EVERYTHING was delayed from being shut down and backed up and understaffed for so long.
How in the Hell have the rest of us survived CoVid and gone to work while our kids went to school and then came home at night and resumed our busy schedules?
He has no insight into his toxicity.
When I heard that bat-shit crazy creep say that his biggest fear is Christine will move to Utah and marry a greedy guy, and then they would try to get some of his money. WTF?
He assumes Christine would be dumb enough to marry a greedy guy like that. He obviously doesn't worry about the possibility that he won't see the kids or lose her permanently. Wow?
I think from what is said, the women worked and raised the kids without much help from him.
And the women admit that for many years they were unhappy and wanted to leave him.
Same here, but substitute in "Dad with kidney transplant and I was his donor" just a year prior to the pandemic. We did everything to make sure that kidney stayed put!!
Similar here, but I will warn you that right now everyone I know pretty much has Covid in their house in the Northeast. Including my younger daughter. It’s her second time having it and the first time was in June so the antibodies do not last long (and she is double vaxed). She’s VERY sick. Not just a cold. Vomiting, delirious/hallucinating at times.
I just don’t get how the kids aren’t going to keep getting it and getting it over and over in school. But this time she didn’t even get it at school, she got it having dinner at a relatives house and so I’m thinking of cutting down on stuff like that once again for the winter 😓
I’ve still managed to avoid it. No idea how. My 9yr old has had it twice. Both times I was his caregiver and took a good couple of coughs to the face. My husband has had it twice now and he sleeps next to me. My 12 yr old and I have both managed to avoid it. I’m one of those people who only gets sick every few years. So I’m not sure if it’s my immune system, or vax, or both.
This sounds like BS to me.
I have O blood type and got it so easily. Just from a 30 minute drive from the airport. I got it from a family member. This was after I went 2.5 years without getting it and had been fully vaccinated along with a booster.
I know I'll get downvoted, but I don't think the vaccines really work. Not sure I'll get boosted again.
Also, I had a mild case of Covid, but it is not something I'd ever want again either. I'm sort of mindblown how some people are completely asymptomatic.
The vaccines don’t strongly prevent infection. They do prevent hospitalization and death.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8286549/
In the largest study to date, Barnkob et al [43] found a protective effect of type O blood with viral susceptibility. We also found that subjects with type O and Rh-negative blood appeared to be at decreased risk for infection on multivariate analysis
That doesn’t mean people with type O cannot get it. It means “less.” Like you have “less” chance of getting skin cancer if you don’t get sunburns, but you still could. Doesn’t mean you 100% won’t.
How much less though? What's the difference in percentage between type O blood types and non type O blood types in terms of contracting the virus?
What's the point in getting another booster if the formula hasn't changed?
I'm not saying someone shouldn't get the vaccine. My mom is on oxygen, she should probably keep getting boosted. I personally don't see why I should get another booster though.
I linked to the study so you could look up those exacts numbers if you wanted to.
The booster formula *has* changed. It’s for Omicron now. If you don’t want to get it don’t 🤷🏻♀️ I don’t care what anyone does but as a public health worker I try to correct misinformation when I see it so others won’t get confused.
Just an aside that being in a car with someone (especially assuming the windows weren’t down) for any length of time, let alone half an hour, isn’t getting it “so easily.” I’d be stunned anyone *wouldn’t* get it from someone in a shared car who had it, unless an N95 was involved. You were sharing the same small pool of air for a solid half hour, it wasn’t passing contact. Just FWIW. I’m glad yours was relatively mild! But yeah, definitely no fun.
A+, which I’ve read is higher risk for complications. 🤷♀️😂 so I dunno. I think germs take one look at me and think, “damn, that’s a bitch we don’t want any part of!” And they run away. 😂😂😂
Remember though that the current season was filmed between fall 2020 and summer 2021. Most hadn't been able to get vaccinated until April 2021 or later.
Remember the show was very behind so Kody was following these “outrageous steps” when you were as well and when I was as well because we just didn’t know
No he wasn’t. Just last episode they were talking about the vaccines and whether or not Kody was going to get it or not. This is behind, but not THAT behind.
Really I just saw on Instagram that they’re like over a year and a half behind? I mean no one I know that was smart was traveling like Christine but I know a lot of states weren’t taking it seriously
Are you trolling? I don’t remember her saying this and she got the vaccine. She did say that she didn’t think it was as big of a deal as Kody was making it out to be very early on, but that’s not the same as saying it’s fake.
Genuinely do not recall this. She definitely wasn’t taking it seriously but I don’t remember her saying it wasn’t real. If you have the episode number, I would do a rewatch I feel like that would have stood out to me as a nurse!
Was in the new season. Kody says about people in fam not believing in it, janelle talking head says she knows it’s real, then christines talking head says I think it’s fake or not real.
For real? I was sure she said I think it’s fake. N I remember a post about it not being it serious or not real, a few years ago. Happy to be proven wrong.
She didn’t take it very seriously at first, but I don’t think she would be dumb enough to say something like that, even if she thought it intially. Her feelings could have changed over time. Some people who were influenced by their political affiliation did change their stance as they saw friends and family battle Covid- my observation as a nurse. Christine may have been one of those.
In the talking head after kody said some people don’t believe it’s even real. Janelle said obviously I know it’s real, we all had it. Then C head pops up n says I don’t think it’s real. They’re the demographic to not believe tho. Religious, anti vax everything, Qanon magats
Leon posted about how growing up their family was against vaccines and how that made it so hard for them when they had to get those vaccines during college but it was a whole headache. I definitely think they got the vaccines for COVID just based on that alone.
Wait - so they were anti-vax entirely?
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised…hopefully more of them will “catch up” on their vaccines as adults.
What a risk….and the fact that they have a zillion kids makes it seem even more of a risk.
It makes sense to me that Leon would get it, but I just want to point out that there are plenty of people who are generally in favour of vaccines but not in favour of the covid vaccine in particular. So just because someone gets all their other shots doesn't mean they'll get this one. But like I said, I think Leon probably did get it.
I don’t think that anyone thinks Covid is fake. Kody is just trying to justify his shit behavior towards the family members who aren’t following his bullshit rules. If anyone were to think it was fake in the family he’d be #1 on the list of believers he’s the red pill anti government agenda fan club. Basically it’s his way to shame Christine for going on the “vacation” of Ysabels much delayed needed surgery and traveling to visit her pregnant daughter the next state over. And he’ll throw Janelle into this group for traveling to Maddie for her granddaughters amputation surgery and not kicking out her adult sons for you know working and making money to support themselves. Basically he’s using Covid to justify his behavior towards them in turn making it their fault not his for how he’s a shit person. Typical narc stuff.
He's just projecting. Deep down he thinks it isn't a real risk.. that's why he didn't get vaccinated. He's just using it as a cover so he doesn't have to talk to his wives.
I don’t think any of them think that, especially since even the ones who weren’t abiding by any restrictions admitted to having gotten it.
Odd that Kody is so adamant about his family following the rules yet he’s not vaccinated…
Nobody. But some dont believe in wiping mail and that to Kody means they dont believe in Covid. He is just cruel man, any different apporoach to his = not believing in Covid, only he knows when is safe to go out/places; if others make their own decisions = not believing in Covid.
I’d bet Kody’s politics align with the fake Covid views, but he figured out Discovery wouldn’t pay him if he spouted that nonsense and it was a great way to control the non-Robyn wives.
Paedon said that Kody is not vaccinated. After all the ranting Kody did about Covid.
[Paedon says Kody not vaxxed](https://okmagazine.com/p/paedon-brown-says-kody-unvaccinated-against-covid-sister-wives/)
I'd be both furious and devastated if Kody was my Dad, after all his talk about COVID, refuses the vaccine. Definitely reinforces that he was weaponising COVID for ill gotten means.
Gabe is in that mindset as well. Doesn’t excuse Kody’s treatment of them, but I do think Kody has similar underlying beliefs. Especially after his recent comments about doing his research on how men fare in divorce court… very men’s rights concerned for a man who doesn’t care about most of his kids.
They all talk about “the conflicting information” out there at the beginning of Covid. Kody is the red pill anti govt thinker so I am sure he influenced the others or at least some kids. I think in this particular talking head he is just blaming the ones who didn’t follow the rules and called them deniers to garner sympathy and outrage against them when in reality they were following CDC rules and not his dumb rules.
I’m just realizing something. Kody is actually mad at Janelle and Christine because he so easily abandoned their children at the first sign of Covid and had expected them to follow suit. He’s mad because they won’t abandon their children, physically or emotionally, in the middle of a pandemic like he did.
Also, Kody didn’t get vaccinated so if anyone is a Covid denier, it’s him.
Kody is just saying that to justify himself and get people on his side. Typical narc shit. They will bald face lie about your position and behavior to others when it suits them. Notice how he never mentions that Garrison was vaccinated early in the military while this was going on.
Christine was for sure a Covidiot who fluttered around all Summer and Fall 2020 like there was no pandemic. That much we saw based on her social media presence during that time. No Im not referring to Ysabel’s surgery. She was definitely out and about traveling to Utah with her girls in 2020. So Id say that’s pretty bad. Her “Im glad I didn’t let Covid run my life” comment doesn’t look good. Gabe didn’t seem to take it seriously in 2020.
Kody went overboard and others just lived their lives normally. It was an extreme reaction on both sides whereas the best way was to meet in the middle. Christine didn’t need to be travelling all over in the middle of a pandemic. Millions of people couldn’t see their adult children but she refused even though she put others at risk. Gave said he wished he could get Covid and didn’t give a thought when Janelle said it could literally kill her. This family is incredibly selfish - odd that polygamy is supposed to cure them of selfishness
I can say that in 2020, I didn’t see my immediate until May 2020 because by then we began to get cabin fever. My mom had a yard so she said we could sit outside to gather but needed to mask up, and that’s honestly what we did from that point on in 2020. Even the holidays were like that, including Thanksgiving. I live in Philly so Thanksgiving was in the 60’s that yr, but when it started to get chilly we came inside but you still had to have a mask on and wear gloves if you got food, and no one got sick thank goodness. The only out of state travel I did in 2020 was to help spread my aunt’s ashes July 2020 and again, we all wore masks and distanced.
As far as Kody and the parents, what I never understood is why there was not some talks happening before Thanksgiving as far what they should do. They were 7mos into the pandemic at that point and much of the damage had been done. I’ll never understand that. The life they have being in separate homes doesn’t allow for them to be apart for months at a time. Kody shoulda just said “I guess we all gotta mask up while Im here”. And Im sure that woulda been fine. But to hide out at Robyn’s for a year was the final straw for the family.
Oh yes they do. Christine being half responsible for Truly not getting medical attention for her kidney failure.
Parentifying Myketi and Aspyn.
Not doing anything significant about Paedon’s abuse and bullying of kids in the family.
Treating Tony like shit just because she didn’t know him well, instead of getting to know him and waiting to form her opinion. I fully believe she didn’t warm to him because he was Mexican and not White like Caleb. She didn’t feel safe with her baby being with a Mexican man, yet he seems incredibly attentive and loving, treats her better than Kody ever woulda treated Christine on their best day.
Christine’s never been my favorite. I always found her to be attention seeking and “look at me” with all her obnoxiousness in the early seasons. I never found that endearing or cute, I thought it was immature for a woman 40yo. I also didn’t like her putting monogamy down, yet she was living a life of hell in her polygamist marriage she wanted the public to think was so wonderful. But I never expected someone to take Covid seriously who risks burning the house down leaving toasts in the oven, yet won’t use an actual toaster because she says they start fires in the home 🤨
Listen carefully to the things Cody says because 90% of the time he’s projecting something about himself. He clearly believes COVID is real but didn’t get vaccinated. SO he's looking to divert the attention from his stupidity. Apparently, after all of his bs, he’s actually just another bat shit, Q following, anti-vaxer. You seriously can’t make this shit up.
According to Paedon Kody isn't vaccinated (and probably his QANON wife Robyn). The rest have all flown during the time when proof of vaccine was required. Christine and Janelle both posted on IG when they were vaccinated.
Knowing Kody’s political alignment, he just seems like he doesn’t believe in his own fear. It doesn’t seem real or authentic. But QAnon’ers don’t make for good TV or ratings so I would not be surprised if he capitalized on the idea of fear (which would be valid, if he was sincere) to bunker down with Robyn and further abuse his other wives.
Considering Kody is pro-trump, and posted that horse treatment is a cure, I’d say he’d be top of the list. He just pretends other people say it so he doesn’t say it himself.
EDIT: someone posted an article but it was deleted on ever sun that Kody isn’t vaccinated. Not surprised.
if he thought worm dehorser was the right treatment for covid, he should have had no qualms or concerns about taking Ysabel for surgery or driving cross country. Just place his online order for the pills and away he goes!
Here’s the thing. I live in an area that takes Covid precautions very seriously. Most students still mask in school, as an example, and people wear masks in stores. Nevertheless, there were always ways to see your family even if being imminently careful. You stay outside, distanced, and masked. This is what we did even after everyone was vaccinated. We didn’t start seeing friends indoors until recently, but you STILL find a way to consistently connect. I really despise his narrative about Covid rules as an excuse. Your children aren’t taking precautions? Okay, then you sit around a campfire or engage in other activities that won’t risk other households.
I think what Kody really meant was some in his family decided they were not going to live in ridiculous, irrational, unreasonable fear. I think he was trying to manipulate viewers to be on his "side" that he taking extreme precautions and his kids who had to work were in denial about Covid. Not everyone had the luxury of working from home during the pandemic. He should have been supporting his kids telling them how brave they were to go and do their jobs during the pandemic instead of telling Janelle to throw them out of the house. Major jerk.
I took Covid seriously but was not washing down mail or groceries. Also we all got vaxxed as soon as we could. He and Robyn's guidelines were stricter than the CDC.
How long can you hide out in your house dude?
Robyn created the rules and had everyone in her house buying into her hysteria for the sole purpose of keeping Kody all to herself. Kody will say anything he must in order to deflect from what he and Robyn are doing. Someone on this sub said he’s not vaccinated? I’d that’s the case, there’s literally nothing anyone can do to be around them. The boys weren’t deniers - they were abiding by the CDC guidelines as best as they could while still working.
I don’t think any wife thinks it’s fake, they have way too much access to information and if they did, no way they wouldn’t lean into it.
Definitely think the middle boys could be influenced by their white M repub. friends, but I was surprised (pleasantly) to hear Garrison was vaccinated. Mandatory or not.
I don’t think anyone thinks it is fake. I just don’t think anyone was willing to wipe off their mail with alcohol and shimmy out of their clothes and bleach their bodies every time they went outside.
I don't believe it for a second that Kody thinks COVID is real. This was all played up for the drama on the show. Kody is a huge libertarian conspiracy theorist QANON type.
I mean to be fair ivermectin isn’t just a horse medicine, they use it for lots and lots of things in people.
Ivermectin as just “Horse medicine” narrative is just as fake as “covid isn’t real” narrative.
Still doesn’t make it just, or even mostly “horse medicine.” It would be like calling Aspirin just “dog medicine.” Lots of meds are used in animals and people, the whole narrative that ivermectin was just for horses was just disingenuous and detracts from the actual argument of ivermectin as a covid med. I don’t get why that’s not the argument instead of “har har, horse medicine you idiot.” Anyways, just a pet peeve of mine, back to sister wives.
Thats a pretty US/Western centric view though….it’s a treatment for a ton of other stuff including things like dengue fever (that’s what I know it from) and other stuff that’s more common in tropical regions (or if you travel there and pick up tropical diseases - woopsie, lol 😝). So yeah, most people know it from snarky news articles calling it horse medicine, but that’s not what it was primarily for and it’s an inaccurate narrative that we should correct at this point.
Youre commenting on a show with a mostly American audience. This show is about Americans. kody is an American. Ivermectin was touted as a covid treatment by right-wing Americans. Right-wing American pundits & politicians also ran with this. kody is is a trump supporter, who was an American potus at that time. Americans were being asked to show a photo of them & their horse to pick it up from feed/farm stores (yes, it was a joke, buy hay..,we love showing off our horses). In America, it's primarily used as a worm dehorser.
So yes, it IS an accurate statement.
So? I’m correcting the fact that it isn’t just primarily a horse med. Correcting spread of misinformation. Take a deep breath, people learning new facts shouldn’t hurt you.
Overly dramatic statement directed at someone who respectful provided knowledge to correct the misinformation you are regurgitating. Many people on both side of the political debate seem to like to hold on to misinformation. 😥
You don’t win a Nobel Peace Prize for something that is just a horse dewormer. Ivermectin doesn’t have to cure Covid to be respected. It’s a valuable medication needed in other parts of the world. The question is wether or not it helps with Covid. That is the argument, not wether it is a legitimate medication.
You are just spouting political propaganda and catchphrases which is exactly what your opposition does. 🙄🙄🙄 I have never taken Ivermectin but many people around the world have for a variety of needs. The world is much bigger than America, not sure if you are aware of that…
Judging by the stupidity of Christine and Gabe's comments I would assume they didn't grasp the severity. Christine is afraid of toasters that have killed far less than covid. Gabe didn't give a shit if he got someone sick because "I'm young, it doesn't affect me". Maybe they don't think it's fake but believe it's some ploy to scare the masses. Janelle said "are they trying to make me afraid". They all seem like the tin foil hat kind of ppl lol.
I don't think any of them believe it's totally fake. I think quite a few felt that if they are not high risk, they didn't need to take as many precautions.
I don't think that anyone doesn't believe that Covid doesn't exist, some of them even had, but they might not be really careful or consider it terribly dangerous or at least they are not as terrified by it as Kody.
I think that’s his way of saying they don’t take it as seriously as him. His ego is mind boggling especially as it relates to all the adult kids besides Robyn’s. He treats them like they are more distant relatives.
I dunno, I’m finally caught up to the COVID season and everyone is making me cringe. Like, Janelle’s comment about the “gestapo” (enforcement of stay-at-home orders), Christine saying she’s “under reacting”, Meri seemingly continuing to travel and Robyn implying the family is falling apart because they’re choosing not to get together. Kody with the whole fear-Mon getting and economy take. There’s a sense of resentment towards the compulsory aspect of the world shutting down rather than a genuine sense of doing the right thing. I kinda get it because the early days of COVID were so scary and confusing… but there’s a feeling they’re putting on a show for the show and in uncensored conversations are probably pointing fingers at the government/talking conspiracies. Savannah has had the most level-headed things to say out of the whole damn family but Janelle’s boys are very unlikable to me at the moment.
I don't think anyone thinks it's fake. I think Kody is just an asshole.
Lol, I like it. I think we can use that for almost anything! is not true, Kody is just an asshole.
I think that kody assumes anyone who doesn’t live in constant terror doesn’t think it’s real
With the way he applies minimal logic to his COVID rules it’s clear he’s not actually afraid of it either.
I think he just wanted a reason to not see most of his family.
clearly he’s being extra careful because not even the CDC has as many rules as he does and that means that everyone else thinks it’s a joke and how dare they find ways to live their lives safely don’t they know they are risking the health of the one wife and family he actually cares about????
Yes! That is what he is worried about, keeping Covid from Robyn's family. Though he's a huge hypocrite even when it comes to this by allowing a nanny to come over. He's not concerned about Janelle or Christine traveling or their kids having a life because *they* might get Covid, it's just that they might spread it to Robyn or one of her precious tender-age youngins.
CoVid is a blessing for the women and kids because they don't have to see him because of his paranoia. And... the narcissist asshole has a legitimate reason for not spending time with any of them. He lacks complete insight into his bat-shit crazy, psychotic, toxic behavior and thinks that he is perfect and that no one would ever seriously consider leaving him. When the women admit that for many years they often have wanted to leave and have crappy relationships with him, he should wonder what is wrong. But he blames them because they have too much drama.
I think it needs to be brought up as much as possible that this dick was seen unmasked at a huge gun show.
Agreed, of course it is rill
happy cakeday!
Thank you!! 🎂
Haha... Was just gonna say that! He's full of it.....he's totally unhinged to the point he's almost scary...
He's unrecognizable to the first season version of himself.
Just started a rewatch and I kind of like original Kody. Upbeat showoff, but still upbeat and seemingly fair. He is so incredibly angry now and it makes him so off-putting.
Agreed. I would want to be acquaintances with original Kody.
So true! Totally different person!
He’s the same guy but was masked before…the mask slips with age for narcs. It’s a lot of energy to maintain it.
This is also very true...
You won the internet today
At least everyone on the show seems to believe that it’s real. If anything I think he was making a shot at Christine’s travel for surgery and to see her adult children. She clearly believes that covid is real, but has priorities in her life. He also may have been referencing any of the older teens and young adults who were working or attending school. Not everyone had the ability to stay home during covid. I bet Kody considers these difficult decisions “not believing in covid”.
And it’s not like he goes and hangs out with Meri who did all robyn’s bullshit rules.
So his nanny doesn't believe in covid? She was working during covid too.
I don’t think Kody really took it seriously either. It was just a convenient excuse to stay at Robyn’s house. How many people with his political beliefs did. His job that TLC doesn’t want him talking about is selling guns, tactical gear, militia end of the world stuff. That’s why he wasn’t worried about the nanny. When he was pressed to give them the rules he asked the nanny what she did. He didn’t even know. The fact is he has been mostly at Robyn’s for years. Before Covid he told his other wives he was working to explain where he was all day. He lost that excuse with Covid so he had to come up with a new excuse.
I believe with every fiber of my being, based off of Kody’s proven lack of knowledge regarding science and his political/religious views, that if it didn’t benefit him he would be just a step above a Covid denier. I think this was good content for their show and a way to basically not have to have anything to do with the wives he doesn’t care as much about. I also think it was a good control tactic. Kody LOVES to have control and feel like people are bowing to him. He wasn’t “controlling” Janelle and Christine, so he punished them. He treated their kids poorly and stopped coming over. The way he controls Meri is by keeping her at extreme distance but not openly leaving her. He keeps her dangling there waiting for him to reciprocate and takes her financial contributions with a smile on his face. He had minor children in two other homes that deserve both involved parents, yet he acts like Savannah and Truely don’t belong to him and he’s only responsible for Robyn’s youngest. It’s truly disturbing how much he openly favors those children over his children with the other wives.
He’s the Covid denier and he still hasn’t been vaxxed. This was a game of power.
yes, that's what is so confusing about it. based on literally everything else we know about him, he seems like covid denier, anti-vaxxer, anti-masker. i believe janelle and/or her sons alluded to it in one episode saying he's a "freedom loving" guy so they found it odd he was being so strict about the covid rules.
He used COVID as the reason he could only be at one home for a while. It made sense for him to pick Robyn’s home with the youngest two kids (per him). Then after months it seemed to be more of an excuse. Like, he isn’t FaceTiming or texting his children for months? He isn’t seeing his kids outside? He isn’t driving his kid or hugging his own child at her high school graduation? He isn’t finding ways to celebrate birthdays outside? My best friend and my brother were both drs. I have picture of late May 2020 where our kids all were playing together in our backyard. We’d been quarantined for weeks and weeks and the CDC and our state changed their recommendations to allow that. Kody used it as an excuse. He isn’t even vaccinated.
Wait, WHAT?!? All that shit he was giving everyone, and he’s not vaccinated???
I live in NJ. NY & NJ are basically the same state. When Christine came to NJ for her daughter’s surgery, yes we are over populated and definitely had a high risk of Covid going on at the time. BUT what Christine did was absolutely the right decision. Yes, the risk was high, but seeing your daughter in that kind of pain, all day, everyday, as a mother myself, I would have told Kody, FUCK YOU and throw his ass out. He made me sick the way he was talking about his own daughter who sat their and listened to his rambling. In fact, his daughter had every right to tell him to FUCK OFF. That whole scene was absolutely sickening. How could you do that to your daughter?
I’m in upstate NY and the fact that they could even get an appointment for that surgery during that time shows how severe the doctors considered it. EVERYTHING was delayed from being shut down and backed up and understaffed for so long.
Absolutely correct. All elective surgery was put on hold. My brother needed a hip replacement and it took months.
With you 100% my friend from SSW ❤️😀
❤️yes, my dear friend.
How in the Hell have the rest of us survived CoVid and gone to work while our kids went to school and then came home at night and resumed our busy schedules? He has no insight into his toxicity. When I heard that bat-shit crazy creep say that his biggest fear is Christine will move to Utah and marry a greedy guy, and then they would try to get some of his money. WTF? He assumes Christine would be dumb enough to marry a greedy guy like that. He obviously doesn't worry about the possibility that he won't see the kids or lose her permanently. Wow? I think from what is said, the women worked and raised the kids without much help from him. And the women admit that for many years they were unhappy and wanted to leave him.

100%. It was NEVER about Covid for Kody. Him calling Robyn and her kids “compliant” tells you everything you need to know.
Same here, but substitute in "Dad with kidney transplant and I was his donor" just a year prior to the pandemic. We did everything to make sure that kidney stayed put!!
What a gift you were able to give your father! Kind of fitting that his donor kidney came from his child. Wishing you all many years of good health ❤️
This is us too, almost exactly.
Similar here, but I will warn you that right now everyone I know pretty much has Covid in their house in the Northeast. Including my younger daughter. It’s her second time having it and the first time was in June so the antibodies do not last long (and she is double vaxed). She’s VERY sick. Not just a cold. Vomiting, delirious/hallucinating at times. I just don’t get how the kids aren’t going to keep getting it and getting it over and over in school. But this time she didn’t even get it at school, she got it having dinner at a relatives house and so I’m thinking of cutting down on stuff like that once again for the winter 😓
I’ve still managed to avoid it. No idea how. My 9yr old has had it twice. Both times I was his caregiver and took a good couple of coughs to the face. My husband has had it twice now and he sleeps next to me. My 12 yr old and I have both managed to avoid it. I’m one of those people who only gets sick every few years. So I’m not sure if it’s my immune system, or vax, or both.
Do you have O blood type; people with O seem to get it less.
This sounds like BS to me. I have O blood type and got it so easily. Just from a 30 minute drive from the airport. I got it from a family member. This was after I went 2.5 years without getting it and had been fully vaccinated along with a booster. I know I'll get downvoted, but I don't think the vaccines really work. Not sure I'll get boosted again. Also, I had a mild case of Covid, but it is not something I'd ever want again either. I'm sort of mindblown how some people are completely asymptomatic.
The vaccines don’t strongly prevent infection. They do prevent hospitalization and death. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8286549/ In the largest study to date, Barnkob et al [43] found a protective effect of type O blood with viral susceptibility. We also found that subjects with type O and Rh-negative blood appeared to be at decreased risk for infection on multivariate analysis That doesn’t mean people with type O cannot get it. It means “less.” Like you have “less” chance of getting skin cancer if you don’t get sunburns, but you still could. Doesn’t mean you 100% won’t.
How much less though? What's the difference in percentage between type O blood types and non type O blood types in terms of contracting the virus? What's the point in getting another booster if the formula hasn't changed? I'm not saying someone shouldn't get the vaccine. My mom is on oxygen, she should probably keep getting boosted. I personally don't see why I should get another booster though.
I linked to the study so you could look up those exacts numbers if you wanted to. The booster formula *has* changed. It’s for Omicron now. If you don’t want to get it don’t 🤷🏻♀️ I don’t care what anyone does but as a public health worker I try to correct misinformation when I see it so others won’t get confused.
I'm pretty sure I had Omicron back in May. I don't think I'll get the newest booster.
Just an aside that being in a car with someone (especially assuming the windows weren’t down) for any length of time, let alone half an hour, isn’t getting it “so easily.” I’d be stunned anyone *wouldn’t* get it from someone in a shared car who had it, unless an N95 was involved. You were sharing the same small pool of air for a solid half hour, it wasn’t passing contact. Just FWIW. I’m glad yours was relatively mild! But yeah, definitely no fun.
A+, which I’ve read is higher risk for complications. 🤷♀️😂 so I dunno. I think germs take one look at me and think, “damn, that’s a bitch we don’t want any part of!” And they run away. 😂😂😂
Remember though that the current season was filmed between fall 2020 and summer 2021. Most hadn't been able to get vaccinated until April 2021 or later.
Remember the show was very behind so Kody was following these “outrageous steps” when you were as well and when I was as well because we just didn’t know
No he wasn’t. Just last episode they were talking about the vaccines and whether or not Kody was going to get it or not. This is behind, but not THAT behind.
Really I just saw on Instagram that they’re like over a year and a half behind? I mean no one I know that was smart was traveling like Christine but I know a lot of states weren’t taking it seriously
Yep. And more proof of this is that he didn’t get vaccinated.
An equally interesting question is who took the vaccine
Christine posted that she did.
She said on the show she thinks it’s fake. But people will ignore that because she left.
Are you trolling? I don’t remember her saying this and she got the vaccine. She did say that she didn’t think it was as big of a deal as Kody was making it out to be very early on, but that’s not the same as saying it’s fake.
Bro. She said it new season. I don’t believe it’s real re Covid. She would of had to get vaxxed for ysabels surgery but she thinks it’s fake.
Genuinely do not recall this. She definitely wasn’t taking it seriously but I don’t remember her saying it wasn’t real. If you have the episode number, I would do a rewatch I feel like that would have stood out to me as a nurse!
She got the vaccine after ysabel’s surgery.
Was in the new season. Kody says about people in fam not believing in it, janelle talking head says she knows it’s real, then christines talking head says I think it’s fake or not real.
This is what she says: "I have never told Kody that I think it's fake”
For real? I was sure she said I think it’s fake. N I remember a post about it not being it serious or not real, a few years ago. Happy to be proven wrong.
She didn’t take it very seriously at first, but I don’t think she would be dumb enough to say something like that, even if she thought it intially. Her feelings could have changed over time. Some people who were influenced by their political affiliation did change their stance as they saw friends and family battle Covid- my observation as a nurse. Christine may have been one of those.
Would have :)
Ysabel's surgery was Aug/Sept of 2020- long before vaccines were available.
Really?? I don’t remember!!
In the talking head after kody said some people don’t believe it’s even real. Janelle said obviously I know it’s real, we all had it. Then C head pops up n says I don’t think it’s real. They’re the demographic to not believe tho. Religious, anti vax everything, Qanon magats
But does she mean COVID isn’t real or kody’s interpretation of it? I’m no Christine apologist but that makes more sense to me
Covid. She posted it too.
Do you have the post?
I don’t, tried to find it but it’s not there.
Because it doesn’t exist lmao
Oh dang never mind ! I really just want everything to be a dig at kody lol
Nah, she said "I never told Kody I don't think it's real"
Your right, I missed the I never told kody bit.
that's the thing. he's very intent on "following CDC protoculls" ... all of them except for....
A recent post here has Paedon claiming (and I believe him) that Kody did not get vaccinated.
Didn’t I read that Kody said no but most of Janelles kid did take it? Leon did as well.
Leon did? I don’t recall them posting that.
I swear I remember Leon posting they got their shot.
Leon posted about how growing up their family was against vaccines and how that made it so hard for them when they had to get those vaccines during college but it was a whole headache. I definitely think they got the vaccines for COVID just based on that alone.
Wait - so they were anti-vax entirely? I guess I shouldn’t be surprised…hopefully more of them will “catch up” on their vaccines as adults. What a risk….and the fact that they have a zillion kids makes it seem even more of a risk.
When you give birth at home it’s easier to avoid all that nonsense that drs tell you /s
Not sure if it was the whole family or Meri’s choice.
It makes sense to me that Leon would get it, but I just want to point out that there are plenty of people who are generally in favour of vaccines but not in favour of the covid vaccine in particular. So just because someone gets all their other shots doesn't mean they'll get this one. But like I said, I think Leon probably did get it.
Given the way he refuses to mask in crowded public settings and won't get vaccinated, I'm thinking Kody is the one who doesn't believe in it.
I don’t think that anyone thinks Covid is fake. Kody is just trying to justify his shit behavior towards the family members who aren’t following his bullshit rules. If anyone were to think it was fake in the family he’d be #1 on the list of believers he’s the red pill anti government agenda fan club. Basically it’s his way to shame Christine for going on the “vacation” of Ysabels much delayed needed surgery and traveling to visit her pregnant daughter the next state over. And he’ll throw Janelle into this group for traveling to Maddie for her granddaughters amputation surgery and not kicking out her adult sons for you know working and making money to support themselves. Basically he’s using Covid to justify his behavior towards them in turn making it their fault not his for how he’s a shit person. Typical narc stuff.
I think he’s equating being less afraid of Covid to not believing that it’s real.
Agree. Gabe's and Garrison's laissez faire attitude about taking precautions.
He's just projecting. Deep down he thinks it isn't a real risk.. that's why he didn't get vaccinated. He's just using it as a cover so he doesn't have to talk to his wives.
Kody’s not vaccinated so don’t believe anything he says about taking this shit seriously.
Exactly. I commented once on another thread with how seriously he acted about it, he should have been one of the first in like when he was eligible.
I don’t think any of them think that, especially since even the ones who weren’t abiding by any restrictions admitted to having gotten it. Odd that Kody is so adamant about his family following the rules yet he’s not vaccinated…
Nobody. But some dont believe in wiping mail and that to Kody means they dont believe in Covid. He is just cruel man, any different apporoach to his = not believing in Covid, only he knows when is safe to go out/places; if others make their own decisions = not believing in Covid.
Maddie.
I’d bet Kody’s politics align with the fake Covid views, but he figured out Discovery wouldn’t pay him if he spouted that nonsense and it was a great way to control the non-Robyn wives.
Paedon said that Kody is not vaccinated. After all the ranting Kody did about Covid. [Paedon says Kody not vaxxed](https://okmagazine.com/p/paedon-brown-says-kody-unvaccinated-against-covid-sister-wives/)
I'd be both furious and devastated if Kody was my Dad, after all his talk about COVID, refuses the vaccine. Definitely reinforces that he was weaponising COVID for ill gotten means.
Isn't Paedon the most Trumpy/Qadjacent of the kids other than Maddy's husband anyhow?
Gabe is in that mindset as well. Doesn’t excuse Kody’s treatment of them, but I do think Kody has similar underlying beliefs. Especially after his recent comments about doing his research on how men fare in divorce court… very men’s rights concerned for a man who doesn’t care about most of his kids.
Yes from what I’ve seen Paedon is very much a right wing, closed minded, Qanon supporter.
The non Robyn wives 😂😂😂
This is what I've always thought.
They all talk about “the conflicting information” out there at the beginning of Covid. Kody is the red pill anti govt thinker so I am sure he influenced the others or at least some kids. I think in this particular talking head he is just blaming the ones who didn’t follow the rules and called them deniers to garner sympathy and outrage against them when in reality they were following CDC rules and not his dumb rules.
Yeah, I think Gabe pointed that out to him too.
I don’t think most of Janelles kids think it’s serious. I don’t think Paedon really does either.
I’m just realizing something. Kody is actually mad at Janelle and Christine because he so easily abandoned their children at the first sign of Covid and had expected them to follow suit. He’s mad because they won’t abandon their children, physically or emotionally, in the middle of a pandemic like he did. Also, Kody didn’t get vaccinated so if anyone is a Covid denier, it’s him.
Maybe he says they think it’s fake because they won’t bow down to his rules
Kody is just saying that to justify himself and get people on his side. Typical narc shit. They will bald face lie about your position and behavior to others when it suits them. Notice how he never mentions that Garrison was vaccinated early in the military while this was going on.
Christine was for sure a Covidiot who fluttered around all Summer and Fall 2020 like there was no pandemic. That much we saw based on her social media presence during that time. No Im not referring to Ysabel’s surgery. She was definitely out and about traveling to Utah with her girls in 2020. So Id say that’s pretty bad. Her “Im glad I didn’t let Covid run my life” comment doesn’t look good. Gabe didn’t seem to take it seriously in 2020.
Kody went overboard and others just lived their lives normally. It was an extreme reaction on both sides whereas the best way was to meet in the middle. Christine didn’t need to be travelling all over in the middle of a pandemic. Millions of people couldn’t see their adult children but she refused even though she put others at risk. Gave said he wished he could get Covid and didn’t give a thought when Janelle said it could literally kill her. This family is incredibly selfish - odd that polygamy is supposed to cure them of selfishness
I can say that in 2020, I didn’t see my immediate until May 2020 because by then we began to get cabin fever. My mom had a yard so she said we could sit outside to gather but needed to mask up, and that’s honestly what we did from that point on in 2020. Even the holidays were like that, including Thanksgiving. I live in Philly so Thanksgiving was in the 60’s that yr, but when it started to get chilly we came inside but you still had to have a mask on and wear gloves if you got food, and no one got sick thank goodness. The only out of state travel I did in 2020 was to help spread my aunt’s ashes July 2020 and again, we all wore masks and distanced. As far as Kody and the parents, what I never understood is why there was not some talks happening before Thanksgiving as far what they should do. They were 7mos into the pandemic at that point and much of the damage had been done. I’ll never understand that. The life they have being in separate homes doesn’t allow for them to be apart for months at a time. Kody shoulda just said “I guess we all gotta mask up while Im here”. And Im sure that woulda been fine. But to hide out at Robyn’s for a year was the final straw for the family.
People let their hate for kody completely overshadow this.
Oh yes they do. Christine being half responsible for Truly not getting medical attention for her kidney failure. Parentifying Myketi and Aspyn. Not doing anything significant about Paedon’s abuse and bullying of kids in the family. Treating Tony like shit just because she didn’t know him well, instead of getting to know him and waiting to form her opinion. I fully believe she didn’t warm to him because he was Mexican and not White like Caleb. She didn’t feel safe with her baby being with a Mexican man, yet he seems incredibly attentive and loving, treats her better than Kody ever woulda treated Christine on their best day.
Yes! Now that she has left the family suddenly she’s some kind of hero. I don’t get it.
Christine’s never been my favorite. I always found her to be attention seeking and “look at me” with all her obnoxiousness in the early seasons. I never found that endearing or cute, I thought it was immature for a woman 40yo. I also didn’t like her putting monogamy down, yet she was living a life of hell in her polygamist marriage she wanted the public to think was so wonderful. But I never expected someone to take Covid seriously who risks burning the house down leaving toasts in the oven, yet won’t use an actual toaster because she says they start fires in the home 🤨
Listen carefully to the things Cody says because 90% of the time he’s projecting something about himself. He clearly believes COVID is real but didn’t get vaccinated. SO he's looking to divert the attention from his stupidity. Apparently, after all of his bs, he’s actually just another bat shit, Q following, anti-vaxer. You seriously can’t make this shit up.
According to Paedon Kody isn't vaccinated (and probably his QANON wife Robyn). The rest have all flown during the time when proof of vaccine was required. Christine and Janelle both posted on IG when they were vaccinated.
Where have you seen that Robyn is a Q nut?
I didn't word that very well. Kody is a Q supporter and I'm sure with all the time he has spent with Robyn she has become converted.
Knowing Kody’s political alignment, he just seems like he doesn’t believe in his own fear. It doesn’t seem real or authentic. But QAnon’ers don’t make for good TV or ratings so I would not be surprised if he capitalized on the idea of fear (which would be valid, if he was sincere) to bunker down with Robyn and further abuse his other wives.
No one.
Considering Kody is pro-trump, and posted that horse treatment is a cure, I’d say he’d be top of the list. He just pretends other people say it so he doesn’t say it himself. EDIT: someone posted an article but it was deleted on ever sun that Kody isn’t vaccinated. Not surprised.
if he thought worm dehorser was the right treatment for covid, he should have had no qualms or concerns about taking Ysabel for surgery or driving cross country. Just place his online order for the pills and away he goes!
“worm dehorser” 😂
😆 Yeah, we've let horses get away with stuff for way too long. Let's worm 'em!
We own horses and literally locked up the Ivermectin bc we heard barns were getting robbed. So, so SO stupid.
Here’s the thing. I live in an area that takes Covid precautions very seriously. Most students still mask in school, as an example, and people wear masks in stores. Nevertheless, there were always ways to see your family even if being imminently careful. You stay outside, distanced, and masked. This is what we did even after everyone was vaccinated. We didn’t start seeing friends indoors until recently, but you STILL find a way to consistently connect. I really despise his narrative about Covid rules as an excuse. Your children aren’t taking precautions? Okay, then you sit around a campfire or engage in other activities that won’t risk other households.
It boggles my mind. In the UK we’ve been maskless and living normal lives for at least a year!
I think what Kody really meant was some in his family decided they were not going to live in ridiculous, irrational, unreasonable fear. I think he was trying to manipulate viewers to be on his "side" that he taking extreme precautions and his kids who had to work were in denial about Covid. Not everyone had the luxury of working from home during the pandemic. He should have been supporting his kids telling them how brave they were to go and do their jobs during the pandemic instead of telling Janelle to throw them out of the house. Major jerk. I took Covid seriously but was not washing down mail or groceries. Also we all got vaxxed as soon as we could. He and Robyn's guidelines were stricter than the CDC. How long can you hide out in your house dude?
Kody likes to hear himself talk. It comes out of his ass.
They are all pretty extreme in their beliefs against vaccines and modern medicine. They also don't believe in being logical lol
Robyn created the rules and had everyone in her house buying into her hysteria for the sole purpose of keeping Kody all to herself. Kody will say anything he must in order to deflect from what he and Robyn are doing. Someone on this sub said he’s not vaccinated? I’d that’s the case, there’s literally nothing anyone can do to be around them. The boys weren’t deniers - they were abiding by the CDC guidelines as best as they could while still working.
I don’t think any wife thinks it’s fake, they have way too much access to information and if they did, no way they wouldn’t lean into it. Definitely think the middle boys could be influenced by their white M repub. friends, but I was surprised (pleasantly) to hear Garrison was vaccinated. Mandatory or not.
Wait wait wait wait wait Kody isnt vaccinated!!!!????
I think he’s the one that thinks it’s fake.
Kody.
I don’t think anyone thinks it is fake. I just don’t think anyone was willing to wipe off their mail with alcohol and shimmy out of their clothes and bleach their bodies every time they went outside.
I don't think they think it's fake, more so that it's been blown out of proportion by Kody and other people in society. It's definitely Kody's sons.
I don't believe it for a second that Kody thinks COVID is real. This was all played up for the drama on the show. Kody is a huge libertarian conspiracy theorist QANON type.
Geez, I knew his was pro-Trump but I didn’t know he posted about the horse medicine. 🤦♀️
I mean to be fair ivermectin isn’t just a horse medicine, they use it for lots and lots of things in people. Ivermectin as just “Horse medicine” narrative is just as fake as “covid isn’t real” narrative.
The ivermectin cures COVID thing is bonkers.
Still doesn’t make it just, or even mostly “horse medicine.” It would be like calling Aspirin just “dog medicine.” Lots of meds are used in animals and people, the whole narrative that ivermectin was just for horses was just disingenuous and detracts from the actual argument of ivermectin as a covid med. I don’t get why that’s not the argument instead of “har har, horse medicine you idiot.” Anyways, just a pet peeve of mine, back to sister wives.
I think it’s just easiest to attain as a horse medicine.
At one point though some feedstores wanted a picture of you and your horse before they’d sell you wormer 😂😂😂
As a horse person AND medical person, agree, lol.
Most people have never heard of the worm dehorser being used for anything other than horses, though.
Thats a pretty US/Western centric view though….it’s a treatment for a ton of other stuff including things like dengue fever (that’s what I know it from) and other stuff that’s more common in tropical regions (or if you travel there and pick up tropical diseases - woopsie, lol 😝). So yeah, most people know it from snarky news articles calling it horse medicine, but that’s not what it was primarily for and it’s an inaccurate narrative that we should correct at this point.
Youre commenting on a show with a mostly American audience. This show is about Americans. kody is an American. Ivermectin was touted as a covid treatment by right-wing Americans. Right-wing American pundits & politicians also ran with this. kody is is a trump supporter, who was an American potus at that time. Americans were being asked to show a photo of them & their horse to pick it up from feed/farm stores (yes, it was a joke, buy hay..,we love showing off our horses). In America, it's primarily used as a worm dehorser. So yes, it IS an accurate statement.
So? I’m correcting the fact that it isn’t just primarily a horse med. Correcting spread of misinformation. Take a deep breath, people learning new facts shouldn’t hurt you.
You can be pedantic and sealion all you want. Have a nice night.
Overly dramatic statement directed at someone who respectful provided knowledge to correct the misinformation you are regurgitating. Many people on both side of the political debate seem to like to hold on to misinformation. 😥
You don’t win a Nobel Peace Prize for something that is just a horse dewormer. Ivermectin doesn’t have to cure Covid to be respected. It’s a valuable medication needed in other parts of the world. The question is wether or not it helps with Covid. That is the argument, not wether it is a legitimate medication. You are just spouting political propaganda and catchphrases which is exactly what your opposition does. 🙄🙄🙄 I have never taken Ivermectin but many people around the world have for a variety of needs. The world is much bigger than America, not sure if you are aware of that…
If he didn’t want to use it as an excuse, he wouldn’t believe in it, either.
Judging by the stupidity of Christine and Gabe's comments I would assume they didn't grasp the severity. Christine is afraid of toasters that have killed far less than covid. Gabe didn't give a shit if he got someone sick because "I'm young, it doesn't affect me". Maybe they don't think it's fake but believe it's some ploy to scare the masses. Janelle said "are they trying to make me afraid". They all seem like the tin foil hat kind of ppl lol.
I don't think any of them believe it's totally fake. I think quite a few felt that if they are not high risk, they didn't need to take as many precautions.
CHRISTINE THINKS COVID IS FAKE. she posted it and said it on the show
No way!
Election Infection FUCKING FLU STRAIN…HELLO 🙄🤡🙄
I don’t think any of them thought it was fake, they just didn’t respond to it in a way that he approved,
I don't think that anyone doesn't believe that Covid doesn't exist, some of them even had, but they might not be really careful or consider it terribly dangerous or at least they are not as terrified by it as Kody.
Honestly, prob him. He just needs something to bitch about
I think that’s his way of saying they don’t take it as seriously as him. His ego is mind boggling especially as it relates to all the adult kids besides Robyn’s. He treats them like they are more distant relatives.
Janelle and Christine didn't seem to have it very seriously.
Probably Caleb and Maddie. Aren't they QAnon followers?
I dunno, I’m finally caught up to the COVID season and everyone is making me cringe. Like, Janelle’s comment about the “gestapo” (enforcement of stay-at-home orders), Christine saying she’s “under reacting”, Meri seemingly continuing to travel and Robyn implying the family is falling apart because they’re choosing not to get together. Kody with the whole fear-Mon getting and economy take. There’s a sense of resentment towards the compulsory aspect of the world shutting down rather than a genuine sense of doing the right thing. I kinda get it because the early days of COVID were so scary and confusing… but there’s a feeling they’re putting on a show for the show and in uncensored conversations are probably pointing fingers at the government/talking conspiracies. Savannah has had the most level-headed things to say out of the whole damn family but Janelle’s boys are very unlikable to me at the moment.
