Well, I mean, it’s hardly surprising, given the people we’re talking about, right?
This country is absolutely drowning in assholes & idiots, and it’s oddly interesting to track down all the how’s and why’s. So far, my theory is that they go back to the founding of the country, but they also got a big boost at times, such as in the way the post Civil War peace was bungled.
My mother is a long time vaccine skeptic, I was only vaccinated because there was no option to not be vaccinated when I was in school. My mom is decidedly not a trimp fan. There was a point in time where she had me questioning vaccines, despite me working at a scientific research facility. A childhood friend snapped me out of that stupidity.
The funny thing about my mom’s aversion is it comes down to how stupid she is regarding science. I remember her talking to one of her granola friends when I was a kid, they were saying “I do not know why we cannot have a shot or something that is like a dead or weakened version of the sickness, that would be so much better than a vaccine.”
She was one of the “do your own research” people before the www existed. We had tons of books about the dangers of every food additive, and she still prescribes to the “if I cannot pronounce it I will not eat it”.
There have always been people that don’t trust the medical community or science but I think you have to admit that the reason the country is suddenly reintroducing illnesses we had previously killed off is because of the trump cult follower. There are now so many people that get their information from these people currently in office that its begun reversing all progress made.
Sorry, I was not disputing you, I was adding to it, that there are plenty premaga that also deny this stuff.
Fine, all the more vaccines for me. Pump me full of all of that stuff and make me invincible to illness.
Unfortunely it doesn’t work that way. The more it spreads the more it can mutate into something you are not immunized against.
Noone is safe around magats practicing maha. Time is running out
I get the flu vaccine every year because about 30 years ago I didn’t, and caught the flu. At one stage I was so weak I couldn’t even get up to pee. Now I get that vaccine and every other one offered.
Funny story, something similar happened to a coworker, but he heated his house with a wood stove. he had to crawl outside to get wood, and then crawl back pushing one piece of wood at a time, back to the house. Flu kills and I’m okay with the anti vax types not getting. let them die off.
Gee, I wonder who is leading the propaganda campaign against proven vaccines? And who is giving those unqualified individuals free publicity every day?
