Heroin really makes you focus too, it’s great for long study sessions.

Yeah. I wish I could die of a preventable disease. Totally the way I want to go.

And polio too, right.

My father had measles when he was a little boy, sometime in the 1940s. It nearly killed him. Measles is no joke. Anyone trying to spread it around on purpose should get a bullet in the brain before they have a chance to harm others.

The only way to stop a bad guy with measles is a good guy with measles, I guess.

If only there was some way we could train our immune systems to fight off Measles without having to actually infect ourselves with it. That way an immediate immune response could keep the disease from ever taking root to begin with! I blame those fucking scientists for not thinking of this already, they're probably too busy making fake climate change scare articles. ^/s^

How to kill a lot of children.

The best defense against measles is to not have Republican parents.

When measles propaganda from our lizard overlords at "Daily Beast" masks mass-culling programs, trust only medieval-era natural immunity. The only good vaccine is no vaccine.

Goodness, this guy is a fucking charlatan. Perfect man for the current administration.

"the vaccine is useful for some protection and for other people it wanes"

Yeah and the measles makes some people immune and for some people they die.

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 6 points 2 days ago

I wonder if widescale immunity reset could lead to a resurgence of something like polio which we've almost eradicated.

His brain worm has measles.

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago (4 children)

I get it. By giving everyone a measles infection, their immune system will be trained on the pathogen, and learn how to fight it in the future so you don't get infected again. That's a brilliant idea, but maybe we can play it safe by giving them just a little bit of measles so they don't have to deal with the associated risks?
