What annoys me is that “doing your own research” actually makes sense in a lot of contexts. Our modern politics driven news is 90% bullshit and you’re better off fact checking everything they say by looking at reliable sources and tracing the origin of dubious claims. But these people have ruined that by acting like “do your own research” means “blindly trust some guy with a podcast who tells you what you want to hear.”
Some of those foods include peanuts which are fine for most people but are deadly for others.
Also, some American companies have created some lab grown food that seems revolutionary, but still lacks long term health testing.
I was talking to a new friend who is a nurse yesterday, and she told me she worked in peds a bit last year during a measles outbreak in my city, during which one child died. She said she has never seen sicker children in her life, they were all unvaccinated, and that they all went home having lost so much ground. She says half the parents were just victims of disinformation but that many of them were super obnoxious.
Interestingly, I have some nurses in the family and the rate at which people who are educated in healthcare, are anti-vax, is too damned high.
Which isn’t to imply its a lot of people, but any nonzero amount of people, working in healthcare, who buy into anti-vax propaganda, is too many. You’ve been formally taught about this stuff. Yet, you’re anti-vax because some person on Facebook/Twitter/whatever, fed you some bullshit about the “dangers”?? Wow. What the actual fuck.
Now there is serious evidence that the covid19 virus came from a lab originaly. We are in ww3. People should vaccinate their children from measles. This is the fog of war. The state is not your friend. The cheeze burger clown and ol sleepy Joe were terrible leaders. If you are sick of everything just know this is just the beginning. https://www.brookings.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/06_iran_strategy.pdf You will in your lifetime see the American imperialist empire drop nukes on civilian population.
Not to derail the topic into the lab leak thing. It just annoys me that this is so commonly taken as gospel when the vast majority of disease scientists disagree. I’ll just refer you to: https://youtu.be/EuwpDY5uFNQ
This isn’t a discussion about where the virus comes from, and debating its source is entirely different than debating the science of effective treatment and vaccines. Promoting unproven horse ointments while speaking lies about proven treatments kills people.
We live in a free society and this is one of the costs of freedom. I may not agree with their choices but I respect their ability to make it.
I’d agree with you if it weren’t for herd immunity and immuno compromised people. It’s like allowing people to drive cars with old, dry, tnt bombs if they feel like it, they’re not the only ones who will get hurt for doing something stupid.
Even if their kids die as a result?
Absolutely
It’s just Darwinism at it’s finest. As a species, the increase in brain matter/intelligence led to the survival of Homo Sapiens. Homo Sapiens with higher intelligence can pass those traits to their offspring, and are more likely to be able to rear their offspring to the point of adulthood. Homo Sapiens with lower intelligence are less likely to successfully breed and rear children to adulthood. Science doesn’t doesn’t give a fuck about the innocence of the offspring.
Actually, it’s the less intelligent humans that are doing the pro-creating these days. The smarter ones know the perils of raising kids in today’s world economically, politically and environmentally and are choosing not to.
因噎廢食 (īnyēfèishí)
https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/因噎廢食
This is a Chinese proverb meaning “to avoid something essential because of a slight risk of making a mistake.” Literally it means “to not eat due to the risk of choking on food.”
I mean, this level of Darwinism would be fine. What grates me is not recognizing the effect it has on others.
Still seeking an analogy where not eating food somehow puts a neighbor or classmate at risk of starvation.
Herd immunity is pretty important.
The first of the crazy parents who went anti-vax benefitted greatly from Herd immunity. Now enough of them are not vaccinating that the herd immunity is basically non-existent. So we get things like measles outbreaks.
There are people who are medically incapable of getting vaccinated, like those with compromised immune systems (some might be in treatment for cancer)… And their best defense is if all of us, who can be immunized, are immunized.
Cancer treatments are not the only immunocompromising thing that can happen and not all immunocompromised people have cancer specifically… For the record.
Anyone who is anti-vax should be aware that they are actively and intentionally putting other people at risk and that should be strongly and thoroughly documented; so when they bring in a cold/flu/COVID/measles/whatever preventable disease to the school and someone else’s kid dies as a result the grieving family has the ability to sue them into poverty.
They deserve worse, but legally, I can’t condone that… But if someone wanted to take a page from a particular person named Luigi, I would be hard pressed to find a good reason to pursue any charges against them.
Because food is dangerous, we’ve taken steps to ban supermarkets which distribute food.
Only a select few strictly regulated supermarkets will be allowed to distribute food.
We know some communities may struggle with reduced or no access to food because of this decision. However we deem this imperative in order to have a strong and healthy country.
I stopped at a stop sign and somone almost rear-ended me. Had I driven through, I would have been safe. There is no reason to stop at stop signs. Other people can stop if they choose to, but the government can’t force me to risk a rear-ending in order to protect someone else. Jesus wouldn’t let me get T-boned in an intersection, I’m covered in his blood.
I thought you were dead serious for a bit
How can you know for sure?
I feel like it’s very perpetrated by Americans, and Americans are very
self-centeredindividualistic
True, I usually refer to something similar: Do you know how many people die in bed every year? Perhaps we should ban beds.
dont speak when you are eating and you will not choke.
WARNING 100% OF CHILDREN EXPOSED TO DIHYDROGEN MONOXIDE DIE!
Actually, they die while not being children anymore
Checkmate atheists
100% of children who are given food die, too. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!
Not 100%. Most children stop being children before they die.
Food is contaminated with dihydrogen monoxide! The contamination is widespread from every source. It even affects vegans
It’s too late; there is even more dihydrogen monoxide in a human body than micro plastics. 😔
Are you telling me we are filled with an industrial-strength solvent? 😱
You know what every living autistic kid have in common? They all eat!
dramatic music sound effect.wav
I would even be bold enough to say that Autistic adults eat.
Yeah, but people are more afraid of autistic children.
By the time they are adults they just disappear into the fold
Sadly this is how it is. When you turn 18, fuck you you’re on your own Fortunately for me, we have the ndis here. But most places don’t have something similar and it is how I said it is
Outstanding. This is what good satire looks like.
To be fair, food is a significant contributor to the existence of adults. And we all know those are problems.
100% of pedophiles are adults if this didn’t convince you enough.
On one hand, food gave us Hitler. On the other, that dude actually killed Hitler. So…
Found one of the kingpins:
Unfortunately, this is simply not true. There are some sick teenagers out there…
Sick, wicked, radical
Would you say they’re pedophiles if they’re children themselves? At the end of the day you are raised not gifted intelligence.
If a 17 wants to fuck an infant they’re a goddamn pedophile.
Jesus Fucking Christ, take off your fedora.
This is where we get into the worse debatable territory. Is a 17 year old an adult because if you say yes a lot of pedophiles will love you a lot more now. How about 16 if we can go down to 17 why not just go below, say a 14 year old should understand enough. Hell if you teach a 12 year old properly they should know enough to be treated this way as well they might just not know how terrible they are. See why it’s important to make the distinction between child and adult? So I’m going to ask again is a 17 year old an adult to you?
Dude the devil doesn’t need an advocate and you’re making everyone here uncomfortable by being so damn obtuse, and to what end? Does this give you dopamine or something because there are far better ways to get that.
Hats off at the door sir
“Quibbling over precise definition of pedophilia sign of a healthy adult”
If you don’t then you ignore everything we have been for and throw yourselves to the nature state because you can undermine law whenever you feel like it. This doesn’t matter until you realize the law is the only thing holding us back from killing each other. Go search up jury selection and understand even they cannot have any level of bias to the case.
Even then, starving your own children isn’t going to cause their classmates and teachers and those people’s families to also go hungry. OP’s comparison is extremely forgiving to those dipshits.
“Do your research” is a dogwhistle and of course what it really means is “Google what you want to be true and read all the shit from morons like you who agree with you.”
Facebook intensifies
If you want to be really pissed, read up on
doctordisgraced former doctor, lifelong charlatan and grifter Andrew Wakefield. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_WakefieldHe abused autistic kids in a medical experiment that was meant to convince both the public and the scientific community that a specific combined vaccine (measles-mumps-rubella, a.k.a MMR) could trigger some kind of bowel disease that causes autism, all so he could peddle his own alternative that is three separate shots.
And here’s the kicker: he did that because he was financially invested in the company producing the older, separate vaccines.
