How to kill a lot of children.

[–] [email protected] 83 points 2 months ago

We did that, we gave everyone a very mild, usually symptomless, case of the measles. We called it vaccination.

Dumb son of a bitch doesn’t even understand that a vaccine is “giving someone the disease” without killing them. God damn are we devolving that fast?

I think RFK is the Horseman of Plague. Guess the role of Famine goes to Musk, and War belongs to Trump. I am not yet sure who is Death, but they will reveal themselves soon enough.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

I’d not considered this before. Damn.

Not supporting this dude, but I watched the whole video and he never once said it would be better if everyone got measles. Maybe I missed it; if so, please correct me. He mentioned a waning effect with the vaccine vs full-blown infection, which I highly doubt is accurate (I'll research it later), but that's a massive stretch to get to the headline. He even recommended vaccines and said they will be available for free to anyone that needs them. I've gotten a little lazy in fact checking left leaning stuff because I always felt it was a little more trustworthy. I'm just starting to wonder how much I've been blindly accepting because it conforms to my biases.

I fucking can't with the news anymore. Holy shit.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Especially him

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 months ago

Any sane person already had measles Rob. We were smart enough to get the vaccine.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago

Yeah. I wish I could die of a preventable disease. Totally the way I want to go.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

Goodness, this guy is a fucking charlatan. Perfect man for the current administration.

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

Well, he is stupid enough not to understand that this would kill a) kids and b) his own base.

[–] [email protected] 56 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Remember the conspiracy theorists who though "the government" was using Covid-19 to cull the population? I wonder what they're up to right now.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Probably hosting measles parties.

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

At this point I certainly hope they just fucking die. I can't handle this shit anymore.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Probably ranting about how the shadow government is out to get Trump and Elon after they started saving America

And polio too, right.

Measles also resets your immune system for every other thing your body already learned to deal with. No, it would not be fucking better.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Uhhhhhh doesn’t measles reset your immune system or something like that?
