A POX ON YOUR HOUSE, Sean Duffy!!
About half the Pittsburgh Penguins seemed to come down with the measels this December. Professional NHL players with excellent healthcare werenât immune. Unfortunately, they also put a bunch of kids at risk because they are frequent visitors to the Childrenâs Hospital, but as far as i know it didnât spread much beyond the team.
Yesterday I joked that that there was a 30% chance that Obama Derangement Syndrome would push this from a bipartisan bit of stupidity to a tea-party-anti-vaxx alliance.
I didnât want to be right, universe, you can stop now.
Or at least quarantined. Iâm thinking Swinburne Island would be a good place.
Cool rhetoric, bro. Question: Why does Sean Duffy support public urination, driving under the influence, and child pornography.
The Republican Party is now exactly like one of those âout-of-control teensâ featured regularly on Maury: âYou donât know me. You canât tell me what to do. Youâre just jealous. I do what I want.â
Well, itâs clear by now that a substantial segment of the Republican party is officially going anti-vax, and it will become the new global warming in our political system.
Isnât there some reality TV show he could be doing now instead of this?
No, itâs OK to kill your children after theyâre born, because the Bible says thatâs OK as a parent under the eyes of God. Its before birth, when theyâre vunerable that the fetus needs protecting.
These anti-vac/big govt arguments sound bites sound great in theory. Until one of these Politicians kids get sick. Then âwhere was the govtâ!
People have forgotten what it was like before immunizations was Standardized.
Also this all works if you keep your kids home away from everyone else.
Guardisil. All about Gaurdisil. Thatâs what heâs saying here without saying it. All, most specifically, about the belief of theocratic neo-medievalists that they can control what their daughters do with their hoo-hahs for years after they become adults by the simple expedient of not giving them a vaccine that could save their lives and, if universally mandated, eventually drive a cancer causing virus to extinction.
Since when is vaccination a âfamily valueâ? These GOPers show utter stupidity with every comment.
I think we have competition for Louie Gomertsâ âStupidâ crown.
Pardon my ignorance in this matter, but if a person has received a vaccine against a particular sickness, isnât he/she immunized against and canât contract it? At least not in a virulent manner? In the end itâs called âImmunizationâ for a reason, right? So is it proper to believe that those who have recently contracted measles and such are the very people who have skipped immunization shots for whatever reason? Arenât those very people getting the obvious outcome of that stupid choice? What am I missing?
So when we are talking about vaccines and public health, it should be âyour choice as a parentâ. But werenât you the same guy that said we should stop taking visas from West Africa when you all proclaimed that ebola would kill everyone? Interesting hypocrisy, Mr. Duffy.
The problem is that not everyone can get vaccinated, people with certain immune conditions, children under certain ages, etc., and that vaccines arenât always a 100% effective. So those people, who for medical reasons couldnât get the vaccine or for whom the vaccine wasnât as effective as normal, depend on the herd immunity of everyone else being vaccinated to keep from catching the disease. When you have large groups of people choosing not to vaccinate they undermine that herd immunity and increase the chances of those at risk populations being exposed to the disease, to say nothing of the fact that they are often themselves children who have no say in the risk their crack-pot parents are putting them.
âWe should not have an oppressive state telling us what to do⌠I know what morals and values are right for my children. I think we should not have an oppressive state telling us what to do.â
THIS is exactly the problem. It doesnât have anything to do with whether this party believes in science, which is a possible explanation for this foolishness that is getting quite a bit of play. It has nothing to do with whether they are playing to a particular constituency. It has to do with the Oppressive State riding roughshod over individual morals and values and choices that follow from them. This is their core philosophy.
You can reason this backwards (forget the term for that now) right straight to those Second Amendment Rights and all the hullabaloo over everybody, even blind men, being able to own guns.
Câmon Sniffit. You are accusing them of playing epidemiological chess, but these cretins havenât figured out tic-tac-toe yet (has a cross, which is good, but it is tipped over so might signify the triumph of satan over christâŚwhat to do?).
They arenât subtle or clever when they go after minorities and the poor.
That makes sense, thanks.
I donât want the Government telling me what side of the road I should drive on either.
