Damn
This generation has never seen the ravegaes that these preventable diseases can reek.
These vaccines are the pinnacle of health care research and most were given away for free by those who discovered them… They gave away millions in potential licensing fees for the greater good of humanity… Now that gift is being spit up on by people who have no idea what they are talking about.
What a disgrace.
that’s one of the side effects of the poor education in the USA… test oriented education focuses on scoring high on tests and general knowledge items such as the history of public health and vaccines are neglected, or if they are discussed, they are discussed in kindergarten terms
I’m pretty sure the people that did well in school are not the ones who don’t support vaccines though
Wish that was the case…
I mean if you know about the Tuskegee experiments you might understand why a certain group of people are skeptical about ANY kind of government “vaccine”.
The TL:DR is that the US CDC injected people with syphilis but told them it was a vaccine, just so they could see what the long term effects of syphilis were when you didn’t get treatment. 100 people died as guinea pigs.
I used to agree with that. But then Covid happened and I listened to people on the radio call in saying “we gotta let a few old people go to save the exonomy.” As though human life was an acceptable cost.
I genuinely thought people at least were ignorant to the death tole to then but I was mistaken. It got so bad the host cut off calls.
The vaccine then came out and I watched millions shun it, despite being shown to be safe and effective. Sure, some folks thought they were dangerous (disinformation and all) but that radio show told me, some people want the world to burn.
There are people who saw devastation and don’t get vaccinated because it’s an acceptable loss.
The fact that you changed “spit on” to “spit up on” was perfect. These are emotional toddlers flailing their arms and kicking their feet and accidentally spitting up on all of us and everything sane. Kudos
Funny how with technology people are getting dumber and tricked even easier
It’s not “with technology”, it’s despite technology.
It’s a decades long attack on education, public acceptance of low skill low wage unqualified teachers, and a complete lack of critical thinking in most of the population.
They don’t understand how vaccines work, they don’t understand statistics, they don’t understand chemistry, they don’t know how to research despite having the total sum of human knowledge at their fingertips. You tell them vaccines are made from fetuses and harms your children and they stop processing beyond that.
It’s also that the dumbest among us have massive reach and we haven’t culturally adapted to it. Similar shit happened with radio.
The power of disinformation…
Every fucking day some Americans are allowing their enemies to win by defeating themselves with lies.
The true constant throughout history. Propoganda works.
Some things can only be learned the hard way
Sadly, we’ll be learning it right alongside them.
Can we start requiring proof of vaccination for Americans to leave their country please?
In semi-related news, I’ve become more pro-mask than I ever thought I would become. Because they fucking work and it’s great to not be sick twenty times a year. Now that everyone’s against them they’re less than a dollar a mask.
😷
I have a coworker who wears a mask almost every day. (We work with small children, AKA sentient petri dishes. Wearing a mask by default isn’t a bad idea.)
I’m not that hardcore, but I’ve found that they help even in non-illness situations. Like when the air is cold and dry, wearing a mask means the air I breathe is warmer. Not only is it more comfortable, but it prevents the post-nasal drip that such conditions usually trigger. Without post-nasal drip, my throat is less likely to become irritated. An irritated throat can lead to laryngitis.
Ergo, wearing a mask on cold, dry days prevents an entire chain of shitty events from taking place. The people stubbornly digging their heels in against masks have no idea what incidental benefits they’re missing.
Hey, another person who refers to children as petri dishes! Neat.
We should just quarantine the whole US. No travel in or out without 2 months in a lazaret. If they wanna rot on their own, fine. But don’t go spreading disease elsewhere.
We already forgot how Dutch sports fans basically infected all of Europe with omicron variant.
Big Pharma setting up for the next big cash cow of preventable things that will expand some stock market pocket books…
RFK Jr. Is not the disease, he’s just a symptom.
Capitalism is the disease. Socialism is the cure.
People are dumb AF. Especially here in the US.
I wonder how many support vaccines in dart guns?
Florida, the childhood mortality state.
Florida, bury your children here.
Florida, where polio thrives
Big pharma and hospitals must be loving this.
Where do you think vaccines come from?
Horse paste is not made by big pharma.
