More than a month after federal officials recommended a new version of the COVID-19 vaccines, 7% of U.S. adults and 2% of children have gotten a shot. One expert calls the numbers “abysmal.”
I know right?! My body does has a natural immune system sweety, I don’t need to listen to scientists. No one even gets polio anymore, who needs vaccines?? I’ll just sawy limb off when I get gangreen from a broken limb. What’s that? The same science that protects me from.infection is the science that creates vaccines? Ruh-roh, raggy!
My grandma was a nurse in the iron lung ward, and when I was 16 I had a friend who lived through polio … his legs and right arm were shriveled but he could still use crutches for short distances.
The fuck anyone should ever want to live through those times again.
“Oh my god, who the hell cares?”

This would be a funny bit of sarcasm if there weren’t whole hordes of people actually making this “argument” for real.
And even worse, polio has started making a comeback due to undervaccination. It was never actually eradicated.

Remember that when you’re having respiratory issues in the hospital.
I’ve been vaccinated like the rest of the normal folks and you want me to keep caring? It’s… checks notes the current year for Christ sake.
