The age of man is over. The time of the worm is here.
Bless the maker and his water
praise shai hulud!
I don't like this clone wars episode.
That was a semi-ok episode. I liked that it was based on Geonosis
Oh I think it's a solid episode as well. It also makes me angry because it reminds me that we never got a clone wars era Death Troopers book, we got it in two other major eras but nope no clone wars. Also would've been neat to get a post endor or legacy era book.
He looks like a measle.
It looks like all the worms are wiggling under his skin to escape through the eyes.
We need some kind of vaccine to make sure this kind of thing doesn't happen to people. Maybe we could combine it with a mumps and rubella inoculation?
I mean, it won't bother me. I'm already neurodiverse. So, vaccines only make me stronger.
I got you fam. My ADHD ass (and all for of my kids) are totally immune to that shit, but absolutely ROCKING the ADHD
You watch too much sci-fi dreamer
It's just as implausible as vaccines causing autism. So, I had some fun with it, presuming you're calling me a "dreamer" and you're not referring to something called "sci-fi dreamer."
You watch too much sci-fi, dreamer.
It used to be patriotic to be vaccinated
Which really emphasizes how these are actual traitors
Have the day you didn’t vaccinate for.
A completely preventable disease, and here we are.
All because we have so many stupid people in this country...if Democrats ever get a decent majority, I hope they bring back vaccination requirements with a vengeance, and for public schools and working in hospitals and things like the military and so on, close the loopholes for people that have "religious" objections to basic science and medicine.
Don't like it? Too bad. Citizenship also comes with responsibilities.
I dont really know what the solution is.
The harder you mandate it, the more people will get nutty about it.
I do feel that anti-vax nutters are internalising the benefits of vaccinations (by benefiting from herd immunity) but externalising the risks (by enjoying healthcare when they get sick).
In Australia unvaccinated kids dont get government support for things like day care or parenting payments et cetera.
I employed a young woman who was earning $700 a week buy paying $500 a week for day care because they refused to vaccinated her. They were living on the husband's salary. It seemed pretty bleak to me.
Like in Australia you need to save every dollar to buy a house or retire. Sure you can have a few baubles but no one can afford $25k a year for this kind of idiocy.
Five years ago, I felt like ultra-liberal Portland Oregon was awfully vaccine hesitant. I believe it may have shifted as a reaction to Trump 2.0 and Covid, but a lot of what I think of as anti-science still exists. But at least democrats don’t put RFK in charge of vaccines.
What’s the over/under on Polio for 2026?
It’ll certainly win the republican primary.
Why do the CRAZY dems not want us to HAVE our very own big beautiful IRON LUNGS? MANY people are SAYING that iron is the BEST element. Who doesn't want LUNGS made of iron?
Invest now in Tesla Lungs.
Alright, cool. Now lets take a tally of anti-vaxxers among the infected.
How's THAT working for ya? Oh, me? I'm fine. I'm sitting over here in public, without measles. You know, on account of how I'm not an idiot?
Herd immunity isn’t for those who won’t get vaccinated, it’s for those who can’t.
Of the 111 outbreak cases, 105 were unvaccinated, three were partially vaccinated, two had an unknown status, and one case was fully vaccinated
Thanks Biden.
