    You’d think they’re already murdering enough of us with the expensive/delayed/denied healthcare, the starvation wages, the cruel for-profit prisons, the cops, and the refusal to give even emergency abortions…but nope…they want to murder more of us.

      Seriously. I’ve said this before here, but travel somewhere the polio vaccine wasn’t widely available. The amount of suffering via deformity and impacted development it causes is frightening.

    In case it’s not clear enough, successful revocation means NOBODY can get the vaccine.

      Wait it even the wealthy? Wonder how many wealthy babies need to suffer before the poors can get their world back.

      Just have polio partys for children so that they can catch it early and be protected!

        This is the kind of argument you see from the dipshit vaccine denialists, though. But typically, they like to credit modern septic systems/clean water for a lot of things.

        I think it’s really only maybe (younger) boomers and on down that could make the absolutely ridiculous arguments the vaccine denialists make, though. Most of the older people - esp Greatest Generation, but also older boomers, most likely - knew better from having seen children die/suffer from awful diseases.

        But yeah, starting with Gen X and on down - the dumbassery around vaccines has slowly started taking off and seems to be getting worse as it goes…

      Seriously. I’m going to be the most bitter and continuously angry person you’ve ever met by the end of this four years, and I’m not looking forward to it one bit.

      Make no mistake though, I’m going to be so free with “aren’t you glad this is what you voted for” to magas in my family and at work that the schadenfreude alone will be enough to power a small city.

    This administration is going to ruin the lives of/kill so many people.

    The upside of Covid is that we jump-started vaccine research and have seen so much stuff at scale, and quickly. It might hold huge promise for things like cancer treatment.

    And these absolute fucking clowns are going to probably stall all that out. I sure hope other countries are not impacted in any way by this complete idiocy. The idea that complete morons would kill scientific progress like this is infuriating.

    This is a world-laughs-at-you, history-book-making, memes-for-a-century level headline.

    America thinks it’s The Federation but really it’s the result of a torrid affair between the Ferengi and the SamaritansPakleds.

    Have a nice day, America. This guy was clearly out of reach.

    My dads best friend had polio as a child. He still found a wife and had two wonderful children and a fulfilled life. Just because your legs are crippled, you need leg braces, special shoes and a wheelchair doesn’t mean you can’t have a great life!
