You know people say regardless how stupid it is, it’s not ethical to force a vaccine on someone. Okay fine. But I think anyone who refuses to be vaccinated (assuming there’s no medical reason), should spend their life in prison.

Nobody says you have to be forced to get a vaccine… bodily autonomy and all that. But you’re then making yourself into a public health hazard. So you need to be quarantined until you’re no longer a danger to society; so, until you either get vaccinated or die, you need to be separated from the rest of society.

Prison doesn’t feel right. It’d expose other prisoners and we’re responsible for their safety while incarcerated.

Maybe we could stick them all on an island somewhere?

The weirdest thing about this whole antivaxx movement is that it has spread to Europe too. Greece has conscription, so 90%+ of greek males have served in the greek military. And almost all of them got vaccinated with a trillion vaccines, including ones against gozzila(you can never be too safe). And thats on top of whatever vaccines babies usually receive.

Noone complained about it. There was some antivaxx movement before but with covid, everyone went crazy with the vaccines. Suddenly vaccines were evil, noone knew what they had in them, it’s a global conspiracy. Everyone became a vaccine expert.

America needs to stop exporting their brain rot, we already have enough on our own.

No one complained about it because there wasn’t a national, or global, effort telling people to blindly rebel against it.

It’s the hive mind hardcore right mindset these days. Drum up something for the pawns to run around screaming and they will willingly volunteer their time, money, freedom, and lives so the elites running the movement can retain wealth and power

You say it spread to Europe from the U.S., but it’s kind of the other way around. The whole anti-vaxx movement was—although not started—heavily popularized by Andrew Wakefield, a medical scientist who very publicly brought criticism against the MMR vaccine (with an unethical study which lied about the condition of many of his patients) about it potentially causing autism. Remember, not too many years ago being autistic was seen as something so much worse than it is. In the meantime, he was being very privately paid off to produce a study for a lawyer who wanted proof that a certain vaccine could have caused medical complications, so he could win a law suit. There was a huge vaccine scare in Europe about MMR, and eventually it spread to America. However, as the anti-MMR-vaccine idea spread, it grew to become anti-vaccine. Wakefield, now rejected from the scientific community, had little other way to stay afloat financially than by pandering to his audience, shifting his message from anti-MMR to anti-vaxx.

Although if you’re talking about COVID vaccine fears, I know much less, it absolutely could have started in the U.S.

Antivaxers are an absolute scourge on society.

The South African conspiracy crowd is crazy fucking stupid. It ranges from “Pokémon Go is from the devil” to “Apartheid wasn’t that bad, actually”.

They eat up the American conspiracies too. Why the fuck is 52 year old Margriet from Roodepoort in a QAnon Telegram group chat? Fuck knows

Because America’s #1 export is US culture.

I wish they chose taco trucks or baseball instead of believing Joe Biden is satanic vampire

Mild cases of death???

As in, they are not too serious.

Yes, such that they’ll bounce back given a few days, weeks, months, years tops.

My coworker’s cousin got a vaccine once and later they dropped their cell phone and cracked the screen. Coincidence, or proof of the evils of vaccination?

Falafels ,

My god! The same thing happened to me but it had been years since my last vaccination. Proof that they stay in your body for a very long time.

The author here makes it sound like contracting mumps and/or encephalitis is a “choice.” But what they leave out, an important detail… like how about a child’s natural immunity?!? Besides, you don’t want an injection to cause autism or worse, a peanut allergy that deprives your young child from the joys of peanut butter jelly sandwiches for the rest of their life.

Realistically, aren’t we all a little tired of big pharma shoving these hard-to-pronounce ingredients and microchips into our God-given flesh?! So I challenge you, to do the research and truly decipher the right choice for your young children. It’s critically important; vaccine injuries can happen. Just look at what happened in nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcer’s table.

If you’re the real guy, I am so happy to see you here.

Even if he is the guy let’s not let this be like reddit where if someone else does the meme they get down voted. Anything reddit did can fuck off here in our new place.

Buffalox ,

For sure instead of having your child scarred for life from a vaccine like the picture shows, a mild case of death is preferable.

Stay safe out there, vaccines contain stuff with long words that sound dangerous. There are also many rumors that vaccines can cause all sorts of weird things you wouldn’t believe.

In case you wonder, this is sarcasm.

Just yesterday I was about to eat an orange from the supermarket, but then someone told me these contain (2R)-2-[(1S)-1,2-dihydroxyethyl]-3,4-dihydroxy-2H-furan-5-one. I mean seriously, I can’t even pronounce this - the question is who benefits from adding these chemicals to our fruits? The government?

Luckily for me though, I replaced oranges with a healthy dose of Cheerios™ and I’m feeling very healthy and refreshed.

TonyTonyChopper ,

Chemist here, no clue what this was at first glance. Hell’s bells IUPAC names for organic molecules are ugly. It’s ascorbic acid.

kadu ,
@kadu@lemmy.world avatar

That’s why we biologists don’t ever touch IUPAC names.

Does it come from an orange? Great, now it’s called orangy acid. Works fine for us.

What’s that? Sugar from a fruit? Fructose. Don’t bother us.
