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.

Some of you may die, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

  • Measles estimated case-fatality rate: 1.3%
  • Estimated US population: 346,715,067
  • Measles deaths if everyone in the US got measles: 4,507,295
  • Upper limit on estimated MMR vaccine caused anaphylaxis: 0.000066%
  • Anaphylaxis case-fatality rate: 0.3%
  • Estimated vaccine-caused fatality rate: 1.98 * 10^-7 %
  • Estimate vaccine-caused fatalities avoided by not vaccinating US population: 0.69
  • Net increase in fatalities from switching to measles natural immunity for everyone in the US: 4,507,294

So it would only be better if he wants an extra 4.5 million Americans to die.

When measles propaganda from our lizard overlords at "Daily Beast" masks mass-culling programs, trust only medieval-era natural immunity. The only good vaccine is no vaccine.

dont you mean worms, if everyone can get worms he can control them telepathically like a hive mind.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 months ago

We are in such a crazy timeline.

This is the kind of shit you'd see on some forum. If the forum was moderated, they'd eventually get booted.

When I was debating fucking morons like this, I never suspected that one of these assholes would be put in charge of our fucking health. It's just so insane.

No RFK, things would be much better if YOU got measles

With you gone, people could vaccinate again and then they wouldn't get sick, you worm for brains

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

I wonder if widescale immunity reset could lead to a resurgence of something like polio which we've almost eradicated.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

His brain worm has measles.

What a stupid motherfucker. Anyone who voted for these venal clowns ought to be ashamed of themselves.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Most of them have no moral compass and/or have zero awareness of just how fucking stupid all of them look.
