I hope everybody points out to them forever that the treatment for their covid that they took instead of getting vaccinated was derived from the tissue of an aborted fetus.

Thats reasonable. Children under 12 aren't able to get vaccinated so they deserve the best care and sympathy. No I am not clicking the article you cant make me.

Hey, if they want to identify as pre-teens (or even pre-schoolers) then it is their freedom to do so, right?

Yes just like that.

That list would include acetaminophen, albuterol, aspirin, ibuprofen, Tylenol, Pepto Bismol, Tums, Lipitor, Senokot, Motrin, Maalox, Ex-Lax, Benadryl, Sudafed, Preparation H, Claritin, Prilosec, and Zoloft, so probably not something they actively care about.

Well, I know they don't REALLY care about aborted babies in ANY context, it's just a rallying cry. But their hypocrisy should be thrown in their face at every opportunity.

Covid got someone nostalgic for other deadly diseases, I guess.

Holy fucking lol we're all dead

That makes about as much sense as outlawing dentistry because ithey say it’s too expensive and painful.

[Squidleybits]

Wow…..

 

[Bubble181]

Look, leeches and balancing the four humors was good enough for my great great grandfather, it's good enough for me!
Ain't nobody need no "medicine" from these "science" witches.

 

[Squidleybits]

I would try leeches for this crud my kid gave me. Head cold + barfing.

Sharing is caring?

Not trying to be an antivaxxer but do we even do the polio vaccine anymore? I thought you only need it if you’re planning on going to an area where it’s still endemic.

It’s part of the elementary school package, isn’t it?

Yes

Polio Vaccination: What Everyone Should Know | CDC

Everything you need to know about polio vaccine: who needs it, types of polio vaccines, how well does it work, what are the side effects, how to pay for it

www.cdc.gov

All 50 states and the District of Columbia (DC) have state laws that require children entering childcare or public schools to have certain vaccinations.

I still remember the taste.

My work just sent out a memo that they are relaxing the mask policy, citing a bunch of mealy-mouthed tripe about divisions and tension in our "family" between idiots (non-vaccinated anti-maskers) and sane people (vaccinated mask-wearers).

Obviously we didn't learn from last time. "Ok, the parachute has slowed our descent to a safe speed, now we can take it off."

Glad I'm working from home.

This is why the pandemic will never end. Because somehow public health in the face of a deadly disease has become team sports politics

Anti-scientism, anti-intellectualism and anti-media propaganda combined are a powerful force.

 

[PatrThom]

Anti-scientism, anti-intellectualism and anti-media propaganda combined are a powerful force.

That's because the scientists only ever seem to have bad news for us about how civilization is doomed and the planet is going downhill and the only way to even slow it down is to do a whole bunch of things that will mean giving up their way of life, or at least a lot of the fun things.

They would rather get back to their normal life, where they routinely deny themselves earthly pleasures and get together to plan their future in paradise lest they be condemned to a life of eternal punishment. Which is totally different.

Man punches nurse in the face multiple times after his wife is vaccinated for Covid | CNN

Police are looking for a man in Canada they say punched a nurse in the face multiple times, knocking her to the ground after she administered a Covid-19 vaccine to his wife without his permission.

Ok so first of all, vaccines are good for you.
But secondly (and more importantly), your wife is your wife and not your property, asshole.

Ohhh.... how cute, you actually think they do that as oppose to just pretend to in public...

Frankly, i'm convinced that it's why they're so sure the "other side" is just lying about >insert here<, because that's what they'd do.

 

[Emrys]

I'm just going to cut Florida lose after The Scampering.

 

[jwhouk]

So. Since I and my wife fit all the criteria, guess who has an appointment for October 1st at the local Walgreens for a booster shot of the Pfizer vaccine.

Seems odd that I don't have to drive all the way across the Valley to get this one, but hey, I'll take it.

This made me have the worst fleeting thought, and I'm ashamed I had it. Getting vaxed, and then purposefully catching covid, knowing that it will likely only mildly inconvenience you, and then hanging out with crowds of anti-vaxxers in the hopes you Typhoid Mary them.

 

[drifter]

I mean, seems like they're already doing that to themselves anyway.

Someone may need to schedule regular wellness checks for Ben Garrison to make sure he hasn't accidentally aspirated his pencil.

It looks like he may have other concerns:

...this is going to turn out to be one of those "That's unfortunate but we will watch closely to see what happens" things as it unfolds, I'll bet. Will he recant? Will he stay bitter to the very end? Only time will tell.
