Just had a thought. What if we took a insignificant amount of the virus and injected it into people. This would allow them to develop antibodies so that if they do become exposed they are ready to fight it.

Probably safer then just exposing people to the virus. Could also do it to enough people that it virtually eradicates the virus.

Just an idea. We would also have to do a bunch of testing and have a bunch of regulations around it. Just to prove there isn't any unwarranted side effects.

Ben Franklin was anti-vax, but came around. Also these fuckwits are so dumb that they don't know vaccines have been around throughout when America was "great" and way beyond.

The future seems not that bad now that I know we won't be seeing an entire generation of Republicans

They are children! They are victims here.

Edit: the fact this got downvoted, the fact there are people who will gladly punish children for the actions of their parents, what a hellish world we live in.

Those kids are doomed anyway.

Now, they demonize parents who refuse to vaccinate their kids

They should have their skulls kicked in before even thinking of having children

Lack of sex ed and no access to family planning services creates a whole bunch of idiots breeding more idiots

Thanks, conservative Christians, for decades of public instruction in abstinence only, for cultural supremacy of purity culture (I'm thinking specifically of the early 90s/00s where churches were all teaching the same curriculum and so many of the hottest celebrities all said they were waiting for marriage).

Knowing nothing about how relationships should work, how to navigate emotional problems effectively, or what red flags to look out for has sure made relationships and communities stronger, all across the country.

better to start kissing everyone with cold sores, and give everyone mono, or CMV, and chickenpox at the same time, since all of those are herpes viruses. they can try herpes B virus(but this comes from a wild animals.
