    Humans have such shitty shitty memories. Unless something happened last week it’s basically unknowable… Nazi? Never heard of it. Preventable diseases? Fuck if I know.

    Unless it’s hurting them RIGHT NOW it basically never happened for most morons.

      That’s the UTAH way, you know. Doesn’t happen to us. We don’t have COVID right now, why should get vaccinated to possibly help ourselves or protect anyone else.

      In Utah drivers keep refusing to wear seatbelts (they call it government overreach) and most of the fatalities on the road might otherwise have been prevented. But hey - some people only learn their lesson the hardest possible way. No amount of logic or intelligence will sway them, only the hard concrete will make a dent in their skulls and by then - it’s too late.

    it wouldn’t have to be a global threat, we’d almost eradicated measles but some parents refuse to do what’s right and prefer to let their kids die and get horribly sick than get them the required vaccinations. Such people should never be allowed to have kids in the first place, because being antivax is a sign of abberant and dangerous mental illness.

      Eugenics people. The state of the world and the sheer stupidity of people makes me think that its actually the only solution.

        I think we just need one giant inescapable global vaccination of humanity – the nuclear war that is coming soon. It’s coming sooner than people think, it’s not just a mere few months away. It could really be any moment any day now.

        And that will be the biggest vaccination against ignorance and human idiocy we could hope for.

      My father nearly died of polio before the shot existed. My mother remembers getting it when she was little. These stupid anti-vax fucks are undoing a ton of work that came before them.

        My aunt had polio also but she survived with a bad limp. We got our polio vaccines when I was a kid, very simple and easy, and nobody was dumb enough to suggest that vaccines were “bad.” We could see the truth - and the importance of being vaccinated. The human race has sure devolved into a morass of ignorance since then.
