Yes, it was totally the vaccine.

Not the fact he has, by his own acknowledgment, spent most of his life abusing steroids and smoking cigars. And his family has a history of heart problems.

ffs.

The amount of spam / bot accounts sharing anti-vax sentiment in the tags is frustrating. I'm blocking them all on sight. All the websites seem like a virus waiting to happen which is almost ironic. Reminder not to click on their links so that your devices aren't infected.

If you want, type the headline into a search engine but don't click on random links from people you don't know or trust.

Btw very random but the fact that people would literally rather have their child they made and supposedly love die of horrific but preventable diseases than them live with autism is so absolutely wild. Surely even if vaccines caused autism (they don't, of fuckin course not), surely it's better to risk a child being autistic BUT ALIVE. Do. Do you not want your child to live? Tell me

Vaccines save lives. Get vaccinated to protect those in our community who cannot access or safely receive vaccines.

Maintain practices such as wearing a mask when sick. Never shame another person for wearing a mask because covid is “over”

Sick leave should not be a privilege, it is a right. For the welfare of yourself and others you should not have to work sick.

For you it might be a common cold, but for someone like me and many of my dear friends it will take weeks and weeks to recover.

Do not forget the horrors of the pandemic. Do not forget those stuck in their homes due to risk of infection.

There are few groups so reviled in liberal circles as the anti-vaxxers. Seen as embarrassingly anti-science and anti-social to boot, the popular anti-vaxxer archetype is a shrill, loudly wrong grifter straight out of YouTube Medical School. They are not only uninformed, but dangerous. And their specific brand of ignorance invites a mocking condescension from those of us who self-identify as “educated” and “pro-science.”

There’s one big problem with liberal media outlets, individuals and institutions expressing this disdain today: they have, themselves, adopted many foundational beliefs of the anti-vax movement without even realizing it. While they express continued appreciation for vaccines, their underlying ideas about immune systems, illness, herd immunity, and the social value of public health have all aligned with anti-vaxxer ideology. I’ll unpack each of these foundational beliefs individually, but first I’d like to address why this has happened.

[...]

Herd immunity would mean long-term, durable protection from infection, like we have for viruses like measles, mumps, and rubella. This society-wide protection would then enable vulnerable people to rejoin society without constant risk of infection. But since reopening, COVID has circulated year-round at high levels and the population is continually getting reinfected. Both the Republican and Democratic strategies to achieve herd immunity were doomed from the start. There are a variety of biological reasons for this.

If you don't want conspiracy nut RFK Jr. in charge of healthcare policy in the US, then defeat Donald Trump.

Donald Trump should not be rewarded for his disastrous response to the COVID-19 pandemic with another chance to ruin the lives of millions of Americans.

RFK Jr. can’t wait to make America sicker

The prospect of a second Trump presidency is a fearful one for many reasons, like mass deportations and additional abortion restrictions. Now a potential role for RFK Jr. is rising higher and higher on the list. On Saturday, the former presidential candidate announced on X that a Trump administration would “advise all U.S​. water systems to remove fluoride from public water.” Kennedy went on to falsely claim that fluoridation causes bone fractures and neurodevelopmental disorders, among other conditions. Fluoride has been a fixture of American public health since 1945, when the city of Grand Rapids, Michigan, first added it to drinking water. The Washington Post reports that around 200 million Americans now live on fluoridated water systems, and scientific consensus links the practice to massive improvements in dental health. Though there’s bipartisan support for water fluoridation on the Hill, it has always had its critics — and Kennedy’s rise and close ties to Trump suggest that certain fringe views may be gaining traction on the Right. Trump has promised to cut funding for public schools that mandate vaccinations, and a 2023 poll from Politico/Morning Consult showed that “a narrow majority” of Republicans cared more about the risks of vaccination than the benefits, according to KFF Health News. [ ... ] Trump has also said Kennedy would have some kind of public health role in a future administration, though he’s often muddled on the details. Most recently he’s pledged to put Kennedy in charge of “women’s health.” This weekend the campaign had little to say about Kennedy’s anti-fluoridation push, stating only that the ex-president is focused on Tuesday’s election. While it’s unclear how much authority Trump would actually give Kennedy, the former candidate’s apparent influence suggests there’s danger ahead if Trump returns to the White House.

So RFK Jr. wants to remove fluoride from drinking water and ban vaccines. Apparently Trump thinks this makes him perfect also to run women's health.

Vaccines have been around since the late 1700s. President John Adams (1735–1826) was vaccinated and lived to be 90. They are one of the reasons smallpox has finally been wiped out. Only stupid anti-vaxxers get measles, mumps, or rubella these days. Trump and RFK Jr. want to reverse all this medical progress.

And apart from RFK Jr's pseudoscience on health issues. he has an anti-Semitism problem which links him to Trump.

Close RFK Jr. friend whose account promoted “Jew World Order” conspiracy theory says she’s “working with” Trump’s transition team

RFK Jr's fringe pal Charlene Bollinger is apparently working with Trump's transition team. Defeat Trump and the transition team becomes moot. Problem solved!

Kamala Harris wants to expand healthcare. Donald Trump and his sidekick RFK Jr. want to take us back to the 1600s.

Facts.

I will forever despise people who defend chickenpox parties–even the ones that happened pre-vaccine.

Because some parents decided to send their poxy son to daycare when I was ten–pre the vaccine being widely available–I nearly died from shingles when my immune system completely collapsed six years later and I horrifically contracted an atypical case of shingles. The pustules were everywhere on my body–down my throat, up my genitals, ON MY INTERNAL ORGANS. My skin underneath the pustules turned green. I was in the worst pain of my life and delirious with a fever. My hometown E.R refused to look at me for "just chickenpox". My mom called the hospital an hour and a half away and they told her to get me there ASAP. After I got there, the E.R team said that had she waited just two more hours to leave I would have been dead on arrival. I was admitted to the PICU and given a PICC line, and even after I was discharged I was still hooked up to an IV pole with acyclovir going straight to my heart for MONTHS. My academic life never recovered and this is a contributing factor in my dropping out the next year. I still have pox scars on my chest.

In contrast, when I got chickenpox as a ten year old I just had a mild rash on my stomach for like a week. My mother was sensible enough to keep me home that week. The parents of that boy weren't sensible, and I paid the price for it.

Anyway if you're a parent who doesn't vaccinate your kids I hope you get them removed from your "care" for your atrocious neglect. That goes for all diseases we have vaccines for, like covid. And if you intentionally infect kids "to boost their immune systems" because you're too stupid to look up how vaccines work? I hope you get your ass beat.

Trump mahu vaksin COVID-19 ditarik dari pasaran.

Presiden baru, Presiden Trump, Presiden memilih salah satu keutamaan untuk memperbaiki kesihatan di negara ini untuknya. Pertama sekali, vaksin COVID-19 harus ditarik dari pasaran. Mereka tidak mempunyai rekod keselamatan yang ingin dilihat oleh Amerika, dan malangnya ramai yang mengalami kecederaan, kecacatan, dan juga kematian.

Sangat sedikit orang yang mengambil ini sama sekali. Pandemik pada dasarnya telah dihentikan. Jangkitan virus itu seperti selsema biasa sekarang.

Jadi mereka tidak ditunjukkan secara klinikal, ia tidak diperlukan dari segi perubatan. Mereka harus dikeluarkan dari pasaran. Dan saya fikir salah satu langkah besar seterusnya yang akan menyelesaikan isu ini dengan cepat mengenai vaksin secara umum, dan keselamatan vaksin adalah untuk memansuhkan Akta Pampasan Kecederaan Vaksin 1986.

Dan mereka mempunyai syarikat mula berdiri di belakang produk mereka. Amerika berhak mendapat vaksin yang selamat, dan apabila ia digunakan, syarikat harus berdiri di belakang produk mereka, dan mereka harus mengeluarkan pertunjukan kebolehpercayaan.

How many COVID Vaccines have you had?

* religious exemption goes under "do not believe in"

Single-shot complete vaccination goes under "Completely vaccinated," just to be clear.
