Because we all collectively decided fruit were their own thing? They’re the juicy snack plants give away to trick animals into spreading their seeds.
I’m not sure why the ancient chefs decided to be silly. They should have just called it all “plants” and be done with it.
So a roasted chicken is a vegetable?
Any edible non-fruit part of a plant. I’ll also make exceptions for nonstandard fruits like pods and kernels.
So water, salt, cheese, meat, and noodles are all vegetables?
People putting things into salads need to chill out.
Tomatoes, cucumbers, mushrooms, salt, pepper, bacon, eggs, dressing, croutons, cheese, olives, olive oil, vinegar, peppers, salsa, chicken, steak, tortilla chips, limes, chow mien noodles, etc. are all things one might put in a salad that aren’t vegetables. You don’t have to label everything vegetables just because there’s some lettuce in there.
You don’t believe that insects are animals? Did you think they were plants?
What? Who’s calling pumpkins, squashes, and cucumbers vegetables?
And no one calls mushrooms vegetables: mushrooms are mushrooms.
Oh, I misunderstood. My apologies.
Hepatitis B takes 60-90 days to incubate. Because of the slow incubation, the vaccine works best if started within 24 hours of exposure, and can still work if administered up to 7 days after exposure. Newborns are typically exposed during birth, not while growing in the womb.
Compare to, say, the COVID-19, where the incubation is 2-14 days. The vaccine takes about 10-14 days to set in, so if you take it post-exposure in most cases you’ll be done with the actual infection before the vaccine even starts working.
Would you prefer to test your smoke alarms by:
The entire point of the vaccine is to prevent the virus. If you wait until you’ve been exposed to the virus, you’ve defeated the entire purpose of the vaccine.
All you had to do was phosphorylate the damn ADP, CJ!
Nah, it’s estimated that about 90% of “sinus infections” in adults are actually viral.
Your doctor just gave up and prescribed you antibiotics because you whined or they don’t care about antibiotic stewardship.
Bonus points if they gave you azithromycin (Zpak,) which does basically nothing for bacterial sinus infections but has slight anti inflammatory properties to enhance that placebo effect for you until the viral infection naturally clears.
