    Glad that 1.6% difference at the polls means a “landslide victory” and that means that donvict has a “mandate” to do absolutely insane things that almost no one asked for.

      In 6 years when there’s a polio outbreak, Republicans will vote for Republicans because Democrats didn’t stop the outbreak fast enough.

        And leftists will not vote for Democrats because they didn’t stop Republicans from coming into power in 2024.

        Polio vaccines protect you for life, right? As do other the other current standard childhood vaccines? I’m on an immunosuppressant for my autoimmune disease and illnesses like polio and the like terrify me.

          The standard polio vaccine schedule involves four doses spread out over childhood. If kids don’t get all of them, they are going to be less resistant to polio. There is no required adult booster, if you went through the process as recommended.

          Do the other current standard childhood vaccines last for life? No. Tetanus does not. Neither do shots for the flu or COVID. I’m assuming that you weren’t thinking about the last two, but you probably should include them when considering this topic.

            I wasn’t talking about tetanus, flu, or COVID lol. I know those have to be redone. Hopefully they don’t get banned, because the flu and COVID could kill me. Tetanus sounds awful, too.

    I hope these motherfuckers get tetanus and fucking die. Something self inflicted, I’m not calling for violence, but ultimately ending with them ceasing to live. I’d accept heart attack, stroke, natural causes, whatever, but it would be a little sweeter if it were something a vaccine could prevent. Or COVID, I’d like to see them succumb to that. The possibilities…

    Getting rid of programs that help prevent outbreaks worked well in 2018…why not? At least if there is another pandemic, we have the guy in the office who has experience with such chaos. Coincidence I’m sure.

    Why sell cures when you can sell treatments? Truly a grift to our very popular healthcare industry.

    Kennedy learned nothing from those people he killed in Samoa and trump learned nothing from his first term.
