Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

I think that one is more of a garden-variety “MMR vaccines cause autism” fear than a religious objection.

We’ve been paying for the sins of Andrew Wakefield for almost 25 years now, with no end in sight.

 

Also, measles is also much, much more contagious than COVID, so if it is introduced into a vulnerable population, it’s highly likely that every single unvaccinated person in that population will get it in short order.

What?

Boston schools have reinstated a mask mandate for two weeks after Christmas break.

 

Knowledge of style and grammar are apparently not requirements for membership.

 

I'd still doubt it was a very big "society." Seriously, actually finding people in the age groups I mentioned who weren't vaccinated against dangerous diseases, or who even objected to such vaccinations, would be difficult to do, largely for reasons explained better by tea and ease than me. People sometimes don't know what they don't know, and despite saying they've done their own "research," most probably haven't actually done so.

 

"Doing my own research" is often equal to "I read this post on Facebook" or "Hannity says..."

 

Google has made stupid people think they’re smart.

 

Most people were vaccinated against measles and polio, granted. Mainly because they were old enough to see the diseases up close and personal.

Not as true when other vaccines came into the market. Some of those were understandable and due to substandard vaccines, such as the debacles with the swine flu vaccine in the ‘70s and the pertussis vaccine in the ‘80s, off the top of my head.

 

My brother never got his pertussis booster after a previous seizure and a 20/20 segment on the vaccine that scared the bejeesus out of my mom.

 

I was bigger than you might think. This was back when vaccines existed but weren’t as well regulated. It’s how we ended up with SCOUTUS weighing in on mandatory vaccines. They were more dangerous and people trusted them less.
