We should focus an ad campaign towards 18 year olds then.
Our 13 month old is fully vaccinated. We do this crazy thing where we trust our doctor. He’s doing great and we’re doing our part…it is so frustrating how stupid Republicans are
The craziest part to me is the docs who believe the conspiracies. You spent all that time studying medicine and don’t believe it?
Conspiracy can slander a lot of things. It used to be easy to slander anti-opiate pushing doctors “conspiracy theorists”.
Are you implying the anti-vax crowd relies on facts, data, and logic and not conspiracies?
We had one of our cats in the vet a while back and she noted that he needed his rabies vaccine, and we could tell she was a little nervous about how we would respond. We said, “Do it!”, but apparently she’s had a few people respond negatively…
Declining your pet’s rabies vaccine?
As in, your pet could contract rabies, bite or scratch you, and then you don’t get the shot in time due to either denial, or you’re too ignorant to see the symptoms of rabies in your pet, or they are displaying the more subtle symptoms and you don’t catch it?
Even if you do catch it and treat yourself, now Fluffy has a fatal illness and has to die.
What an astoundedly stupid decision.
I blame Jenny McCarthy.
Blame Andrew Wakefield. He was the one who convinced Jenny McCarthy. She’s a useful idiot. And I do mean idiot. She wrote an article that’s been scrubbed from the internet about how her child was an ‘indigo,’ meaning he would have superhuman powers. This was before his autism diagnosis, which apparently changed her mind, because that’s when the article got scrubbed.
It also contained a sentence that said (paraphrased): “After my son was born, I quit smoking.”
She’s a fucking idiot.
I thought you were kidding, but nope. The smoking sentence isn’t mentioned in there, but everything else is. Wow.
Which came first? The political party or the childhood lead poisoning?
Let’s not focus too much on labels… the real issue is there’s like 80 million dumb motherfuckers out there who plan on voting. You can’t cure stupid and we’re in fuckin trouble!
Lead poisoning, it used to be popular for plates and cups cuz it made the food taste better (because the lead leached in and lead has a sweet taste), then later indoor plumbing (sometimes with lead pipes) became common like a decade prior to the founding of the Republican party in the 1850s. We didn’t get leaded gas until the 1920s
Anyone considered getting rid of leaded avgas yet?
Or testing food for lead more stringently?
Like they had children suffering from lead toxicity recently from contaminated applesauce packages and it takes a fuckton of lead to cause toxicity.
