Damn. If only there was a way to get protection against measles without having to get measles. Some sort of injection. That’d be useful.
Maybe an infusion
The dems really need to appoint a shadow cabinet and hold press conferences with fact checks and useful advice about how to get vaccinated.
I’m glad that I am science literate and live close to the canadian border.
It’d be better if you were an obscure and unimportant member of the Kennedy family and stayed that way.
dint know he existed til he announced his run.
I heard about him from a Behind the Bastards podcast a few years back. I knew he was a dumpster fire and was really surprised/not surprised he got a position.
Surprised because he’s an idiot. Not surprised because it’s par for this administration.
Heroin really makes you focus too, it’s great for long study sessions.
also convinced govt of somoa to stop MEASLES VACCINATION, resulting in 86 children deaths. also drove his former wife to suicide.
No, in Samoa there were vaccines administered incorrectly and people died. Their hesitancy was well-founded.
Hand picked by the president to be the best person for the job for leading the dept of health.
Thank goodness we are finally hiring based on merit!
That would remove a lot of vaccine skepticism
Never fail to underestimate how much failures cause people to become more dug in than realize something is off.
I remember in the early 2000s atheist sites would often pose questions about how believers could continue to believe when natural disasters and disease go rampant.
The facts? Natural disasters, when they happen to believers, make them MORE entrenched in their beliefs and not less.
At what point do we get to demand hazard pay from our employers for going into the office?
“Dont trust the medical institutions until you’re sick” is just the self-harm logical extension version of the plague of right-wing myopia of broke self-reliance americanism and detriment individualism. American culture is completely unsalvageable
Roald Dahl’s wight, kill this man.
a goauld symbiote ate his brain.
This is far more plausible than I’m comfortable with.
He’s so gross.
You first buddy!
Brainworms like measles.
Ask not what your immune system can do for you, but what you can do for your immune system
replace immune system with worms.
“the vaccine is useful for some protection and for other people it wanes”
Yeah and the measles makes some people immune and for some people they die.
Edit: also, what kind of argument is that in the first place? “Yeah well sometimes it provably provides a positive benefit to people’s lives in a statistically significant way, and sometimes it’s neutral with no downsides???”
The right has become such a weird ass death cult, and yet they still insist on calling themselves “right to life”.
Let the entirety of the US have measles, and a good percentage will die, another good part will be scarred for life and have disabilities from it and the country will collapse
And then Trump will rescind the ADA and disability benefits so those unable to (fully) work will become homeless and destitute and die from exposure or police brutality.
And being an American cop will be more the lieu of people who want to murder legally than serve their community.

So… Today?
Only far, far worse.
