And that’s basically it!
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.
If something like that worked, scientists would have done it by now.
Youre right. Sorry. I'm so dumb.
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.
In his defense, in 1721 vaccines were really a new unproven technology. And if you don't know it works, or even what causes diseases in the first place, it's reasonable to be skeptical. It's also reasonable to change your mind when you see it does really work.
I have a better idea. What if we take the genetic code of the virus, inject it into people and have their own bodies produce many more virus particles so they get a stronger and more targeted immune response? Who knows, someone could win an important prize for that.
I read this comment and became autistic. Becareful people science makes you spicy.
What if we took a insignificant amount of the virus and injected it into people.
That's called vaccination. At least, that was one of the original methods. You can use killed virus, weakened virus, a related virus that triggers the same immune response (for example, cowpox for smallpox), or a selected part of the virus that will trigger the immune response but is not capable of infecting you. The last is the most common method used now because the weakened-virus approach can go badly wrong.
Grab her and plop her down in the middle of one the hotspots and don't let her out
Pro Life only until it's born, then fuck that Life
They aren't pro-life. They are forced birth. It isn't about the baby, it's about power over women.
I fully agree, i think all trump voters should go to measles parties.
Measles isn't fucking chicken pox…
Don’t even take chicken pox lightly. It gives you shingles later in life. I have epilepsy as a result of getting chicken pox.
Chickenpox is also pretty dangerous to adults, they cause similar issues like an adult getting measles or rubella, and it's capable of causing pneumonia and orchitis( infertility), there is a small chance it can cause brain inflammation much like shingles can
“Now, they demonize parents who refuse to vaccinate their kids.”
It's pretty normal to demonize parents who abuse children.
Margerine Taylor Greene can go fuck herself!
She thinks the measles are like chicken pox, pretty much harmless to young ones. My parents tried to get me sick in the 70s, that's just how it was done before we had a chicken pox vaccine. Finally got it at 16, still have the scars nearly 40-years later. But I got my shingles vax!
She's literally this stupid. Some things we see these nuts try to pull off make sense, from an evil point of view. This move is plain stupid, and because we've forgotten what measles are people will listen.
BTW, I'm 54 and just now learning what measles are and how bad it can be. I had no clue, because I've never met anyone that had it.
no, it makes sense. devaluing human life, and spreading the idea that sometimes the weak just die, with nothing anyone can do about it, is very much something they want to do. plus, burying your children is one hell of a sunk cost.
that's not to say she's cognitively functional, but that's why her masters won't put their foot down.
The future seems not that bad now that I know we won't be seeing an entire generation of Republicans
We've been thinking that for three generations and somehow they're still here
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.
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.
Nurgle cultist. May measles spread and give new life from the dead and rotten.
Sorry for the kids, but I have simply given up to care about the members of this suicide cult.
As a former child (read: captive) of ultra conservative christian fuckwits, I implore you to try to care. It’s not those kids’ fault they have shitty stupid parents.
I will always vote and support laws that allow children access to proven medical treatments without the permission from the parents.
I do care and feel sorry for the kids, but I cannot change their parents.
Why are people debating measles vaccines again? The covid vaccine debate was stupid but I could kinda understand the concern there in comparison to this
