    So here’s what you’re gonna do. You test. And you spread factual information. Oh and you protest. Good news is people won’t be frothing at the mouth celebrating your death, getting folks to not celebrate us dying was like half the battle.

    Oh and an old prostitute once told me that after enough of her friends died she just broke and walked to another city (like days of walking distance). It’s not a good plan A, but don’t throw the idea out prematurely

      I’m in Canada, and I do most of those things already, but this is great advice in general. I warn specifically about Measels because I have family who (thankfully, were) immune to the vaccine, so they’d get warnings from doctors like “we’ve seen a rise in people not vaccinating so… avoid bringing (my cousin) to large gatherings of people like concerts, and try to keep them in schools with higher vaccination rates.” They’re teenaged and were finally able to get the vaccine to work (I don’t have the details, just that it worked) but my cousin missed seeing Raffi because some conservative fucks decided they didn’t care enough about children dying to vaccinate theirs.
