yes, i lack critical capacity, and understand so little about epidemiology that... wait...
my response was predictable in the sense that once again, i'm really not buying the nutcases thinking every little thing is THE VENOM OF DEATH.
or perhaps i have the ability to evaluate on a
case-by-case basis, considering the merits, of which suzie creamcheese in your second link has little.
see, some things are bad for you. like transfats. terrible. the food industry has admitted the "mistake" of putting fats your body has no idea how to handle into their krap. now we get folks like gonz who thinks it's just another thing about "fat" which the weenie-eat-sprouts crowd just won't fucking shut up about. while i sympathize with that reaction, it's not the case. it's an exception, an entirely different animal. (not to mention experts were recommending the shit in the (older) form of margarine to use instead of real butter, as they think that saturated animal fat is the seed of satan. no, it's delicious.)
cato, you're just going the "well, you never know" route again. so predictable.
no, the point is neither about vaccines nor mandates, but how ignorant someone can be. and how funny such ignorance can be. i let out a deep, guttural laugh when i first heard the bachmann quote. but i suppose it's okey dokey. her followers aren't typically smart enough to understand that she's ignorant. in fact the more i think about it the more hilarious it is - she was duped by the story, and her followers will be duped by it, too, but it doesn't matter. it's all about the big bad government forcing things on the children, right? INFRACTION!!!! she places perry as the big bad, and she's golden...
BTW, i don't agree with the HPV vaccine without positive parental consent (rather than 'by default') but at the same time, y'all ig'nants would have us living with the public health standards of the middle ages...
yeah, throw out the experts. maybe next you can get your housekeeper to perform your next surgery. in fact, let's have surgery be the exclusive duty of housekeepers. think of what that could bring!!!
no worry, fucking jesus will heal us anyway!!!!
