  1. I think Liz is trying to use web of beliefs disinformation to deprogram anti-vaxxers

    I'd use this as a teaching example, but I wouldn't want to undermine such a brilliant strategy...

  2. That's nothin'. The leader of Russia has taken them back to the early middle ages (5th to 10th centuries) with his belief that invasion of another country is appropriate foreign policy. Of course, it's possible the US may end up time travelling back that far as well. #stupidarrogantshitsareincharge

  3. At this point I'm feeling like natural selection might have been a better decision on Washington's part.

  4. I still wish Christopher Columbus would have gotten swallowed by a whale, and scurvy had taken the rest of the ships.

  5. This group of monsters is responsible for the building oppression making our streets sick. The drugs crime homelessness school shootings all are because these monsters voting 4 oppressive laws for decades. Making life more difficult.

    This is the tyrannical regime the founders feared.

  6. 250 years.

    If the US are lucky.

    My guesstimate is that he will take Em'rica back to the 15 / 16 hundreds - 15th century:

  7. Most people alive today would not be here if not for vaccines. One or two of their parents, grandparents, great grandparents would have died before puberty. Kennedy, republicans, are baby killers.

  9. I have posted George Washington having his troops vaccinated back after the terrible first year of the revolutionary war and that we probably owe our winning to the then illegal vaccination of our troops about a dozen times. It is good to see a clone!

  10. We also wouldn’t have achieved nationhood without help from the French. The war had dragged in for six years before France sent troops and warships. It ended eighteen months later.

  11. A day or so after I entered basic training, we were all given several vaccinations. There was no chance to deny them. The military wanted to ensure we were protected from disease.

  12. It's literally insane. This administration isn't even conservatives, but an ensemble of conspiracy theorists, criminals and snake oil sellers.

  13. Thanks to a slave named Onesimus. His contribution, while historically overshadowed by others, is increasingly being recognized as a vital part of the story of preventing smallpox and the development of vaccination.

    Damn! Yes, it seems so... the unraveling and undeveloping of America taking place before our eyes ... the world is losing trust in America by the hour as we destroy our own credibility! America's enemies couldn't have hoped for anything better by way of wilful national self destruction ...

  15. The Panama Canal would have never been built without Walter Reed's team's work to develop a yellow fever vaccine to keep it from killing so many of the workers.

  16. An next July 4th we will be celebrating that milestone with measles flareups instead of fireworks.

  17. And yet people will say how bad vaccines are for you but they'll consume junk food and in some cases drugs... But sure the vaccines are the problem 🙄

  18. 100 years earlier, during King Philips War, colonists won predominantly from the Indian population dying of the diseases they brought with them from Europe. During rev war, the grandsons of those colonists had immune systems more like the Indians and needed vaccines to save them from dirty Brits.

  19. They will make sure their soldiers are vaccinated since they use them against citizens.... Let that sink in. Our federal government uses our military against its own citizens.

  20. Yes, but we’re in the northern hemisphere, so at least we’re spiraling counterclockwise, what. 🤦🏻‍♂️

  21. The US wouldn't exist if Vermonters hadn't split off from a monarchy, gotten drunk, and kicked the shit out of the monarchists a second time just for fun.

    As a fifth generation Vermonter, I'm ready for history to repeat itself.

  22. Vaccine mandates have been Constitutional for over 100 years for good reason. And yes, George Washington and the Founders believed in science.

    I have to think vaccines are the single largest health breakthrough in human history, no? Except maybe germ theory and hand washing? And even then, vaccines work passively for years after application.

    It is so flabbergasting that people could imagine simply abandoning that kind of advance.

  24. Now we have a head of the Dept. of Defense who brags he never washes his hands because he doesn't believe in germs because he can't see them.

  25. He did have them immunized, like a good Dad! Vaccination (by Vaccinia) began in 1796. Before that Variolation, using Variola scabs, etc, was the method used, with a variable mortality rate. "This Podcast Will Kill You" 🤓

  26. Didn't stop us from murdering millions of Native Americans with small pox. Maybe we shouldn't exist.

  27. but Washington died from a sore throat, because his "doctor's" cure was to drain his blood.

  28. [Three vaccinations today for me. And another Washington I am not. But I do believe in science, and I care about my own health as well as that of everyone in my community.]
