polio hell. germ theory, x-rays, antibiotics, pasteurization, mammograms, organ transplant, gene therapy, name it and they’d have banded together to keep it repressed & obscure
medical advances terrify this sector because they exist as their own power beyond political control. they’re a threat; the administrators of medicine do not operate according to a political law but instead follow a structured fact based theory
all this is just a modern way of saying BURN THE WITCH
it’s as old as time, back to the era the most powerful societal figure in the village was *really* the medicine man or the healer or the shaman or the doc

really a dipshit strategy here to try to make it a public policy. facebook should be launched into the gaping maw of deep space but I don’t want it coming from the white house because now you’ll get rallying to the anti-vaxxer cause under the cover of sticking up for them
the point of destructive medical info online can be easily made without singling out any one private entity
what’s going on here is a sneaky awareness of who’s gonna be responsible for another bloody covid wave & all the preventable unvaccinated deaths. It’s a preemptive attempt to shift blame from the willful unvaccinated to the mean libs who made the unvaccinated refuse to get a shot
listen to me: you are not a hostage to these people’s feelings. they are not gonna get a shot if you buy them ice cream & wash their car while reading to them from a medical journal, and they are not gonna get a shot if you are a dick to them. they just want power to shift blame
“unless you are nice to me I am gonna eat a tide pod” is not a rational argument you have a chance of defusing by humoring it. that makes you a hostage & a borderline willing accomplice in the game.
“I turned 18 in february 2020 but I was registering for college classes the next fall in summer 2018”
that account’s first tweet is that medium link in august 2018, occasionally posts something unremarkable for a year, goes dark, and comes back online as a bot account tweeting generic jokey quotes, then quickly turns into anti-vaxing propaganda
preventable viral childhood illnesses in tennessee don’t stay in tennessee. this is where the feds need to intervene.
your “personal decision” in your state isn’t permitted to impact millions of kids in other states and when you insist it is, I insist the feds have the obligation on their behalf to take your health department over
I forget where the piece was published but maybe 6 or 7 years ago there was a terrific article detailing how espn accidentally discovered the tebow effect and turned their entire non-broadcasting slate into opinion & debate to drive polarization & controversy. behold the result
it’s an absolute shame that their sports broadcasting team has to share a label with these assholes, who have turned the brand into pure garbage, a daytime talk show channel that sometimes airs sports
their college football broadcasting is as good as it gets, the nba is pretty good. they murdered their nfl coverage with a pillow, and the less said about baseball the better. would just pay for a spin-off college football network with the same people at this point
here’s a theory, the “I need more facts” line is pure concentrated horseshit designed to lure you into an argument about how you insulted me and now my decision is your fault
