    Well, most MAGA folks want a return to 1950’s America and you don’t get more 1950’s America than a polio outbreak.

    I’m just hearing Plinkett / Stoklasa from the early Star Wars prequel videos.

    George Lucas didn’t ruin my childhood… fucking polio did!

    I guess I’m still not getting it. What’s the motivation here? What’s in it for clowns like Kennedy when they decide they know more about vaccines than the people who have worked in the field for their entire careers?

    Just an idle rich kid looking for a cause to champion?

      I know that’s what drives me crazy too. As opposed to a lot of harmful conservative policies that are clearly motivated by a desire to look out for the interests of the wealthy or pander to xenophobes, the anti-vaxx stuff is just pure contagious madness.

    I hear a lot of talk about boomers pulling up the ladder behind them. This is also lighting fire to the ground below

    A lawyer who was too stupid to become a doctor, suing doctors and virologists for something he has no knowledge of. Priceless.

    Time to start investing in iron lung and wheelchair manufacturers. My late dad had polio when he was in his 20s. It almost killed him and left him crippled for life. The vaccine was rolled out a few years later and he was always thankful that it stopped so many people going through what he did.

    Then this dipshit comes along…

      My grandfather had polio, and walked with a can his entire life. At least that’s what I can tell from pictures, he died before any of his grandchildren were born.
