DAMN, I knew you could party but I had no idea just how serious you can get. It is called "culling the herd" makes for a great read when the Darwin Awards.

Piffle. If vaccines really worked, they would have developed one for stupidity.

They did, it's called Salvos aptissimum. Unfortunately it's slow acting sometimes.
@Dougl35534 Its other flaws are that it may allow the defective organism to reproduce before being snuffed, and, as in the case of drunk drivers, anti-vaxxers may take out others on their way to oblivion.
@Gwendolyn2018 Is there any doubt? After hanging out with some of my colleagues for an hour, I am barely smart enough to remember how to flush the can. Recovery can take days.
Lmao, they'll never learn even if they get hit with it all.

The one extinction I think that nobody will regret is that of Smallpox, which used to kill or disfigure a quarter of the worlds population at one time. And we nearly sent polio the same way, but it is now staging a comeback in some countries thanks entirely to anti-vaccine movements promoted by religious fundamentalists.

Exactly. Folks who don’t study history have no idea of the fear inspired by smallpox. Ship captains threw victims in the ocean; ships were burned in harbors.
@CarolinaGirl60 Sadly I think that history and science in any meaningful sense are completely unknown to the anti-vacs. And in many ways it is the fault of governments, who see real education as a good thing only for the privileged few who will join the political establishment.
I know a woman in her 80's that was crippled by Polio as a child. This woman also happens to brainwashed by the religious right and denies history and science. It's mind-boggling. These are serious diseases.
@Fernapple I have to agree. I once saw a documentary about the Texas Board of Education, who were changing the history texts for the whole state. The Revisionaries. Very interesting! IMHO, Howard Zinn’s book on American history, the real stories not taught in school, is excellent.
