anti-vaxxer licks grocery store surfaces to "fortify her immune system"

An anti-vax blogger went viral after she shared a video licking grocery store surfaces.

The blogger was previously known for claiming to have cured her son's autism diagnosis.

The video echoes a growing trend of germ-theory denialism.


A blogger with a history of promoting medical misinformation and questioning vaccines went viral for licking items in a grocery store, falsely claiming that it would fortify her "immune system."


The 20-second clip, which was originally posted on Instagram, appeared to show a maskless Jodie Meschuk going around a supermarket and licking various items, including the plastic wrap used to carry produce, a handle to open a freezer door, and the handle of her shopping cart.

Licking random items in a grocery store may lead you to consume dangerous pathogens, which can lead to a host of diseases, such as pneumonia, strep throat, and food poisoning, according to Healthline.

I think people like this who are unvaccinated are like stupid because they are unvaccinated it's like reversal of their talking point that vaccines cause autism. Maybe the lack of a vaccine causes adult stupidity.

Yes, getting a disease does boost immunity against it. She is definitely on to something.

People have lost their minds. This sounds like a job for meds.
