There are only a handful of polio cases left in the world...I think the only country left is Pakistan

AllenS said...

I have a very dear and close friend who caught the polio virus about a year before the vaccine became available. All of us school children were inoculated in the school gym. My aunt had polio which made her left arm smaller, and the left side of her face unmovable.

And Pakistanis are coming over the border with all the rest of the illegals. Unvetted, Undoucmented, Unvaccinated. Dispersed to UNknown locations in secret by Homeland Security. That name is a laugh isn't it. Security of the homeland. Ha ha ha.

Doctors are seeing diseases that they have never seen in the US before. In addition to a resurgence of things that we thought we had vaccinated out of existence such as measles. Yay. Can't wait for smallpox to reemerge.

It as if we are seeing the collision of two civilizations - ours, in decline, the other still in the stone age.

Too bad "Public Health" is no longer a function of government. Heck, we don't even have TB sanitariums any longer. I wonder if we can hire some illegals to build new ones.

Man, you'd have to be an early first cohort Baby Boomer to remember one of those.

oopsy, you beat me to it.

OK. I'm going to partially disagree. Glenn Reynolds (before he let Driscoll take over his mind) once said it isn't Western Civilization that's declining, it's the Blue model, all the Lefty paradigms. I think there's a lot of truth in that.

In fact, I think the need to import welfare queens because the people you need to produce welfare queens aren't producing enough of them because they're aborting them first because you taught them abortion while you weren't producing enough Lefties because you were aborting them first because you taught yourselves abortion.

Or something.

Cali is the Mecca of anti vaccine people. We have a friend who is a pediatric cardiologist in the Bay area. She has 2 daughters, one school aged, the other a toddler. The woman is fairly liberal. But, she rants about these liberals who won't vaccinate. The very stupid[he seems retarded or autistic] De Niro is an anti vaccine asshole. Just look at the queen of this movement, Jenny McCarthy. 'Nuff said.

The surge of illegal aliens facilitated by this administration has brought a tremendous amount of criminality and disease. Aided and abetted by the rulings of liberal judges like that Mexican fuck who strike down the procedures set up to stop it. Sanctuary cities. Criminals put in vans and taken from the border and set loose to prey on Americans. Of course if you talk about this and call it what it is you are a racist. The full weight of the liberal media, Democrat party and the cuckservative Republican establishment falls on your head. Non stop. 24/7.

Something has to change.

Instead of going either/or on the vaccine issue, consideration needs to be made as to the timing of the injections.

Use of words like very stupid, retarded and autistic sound like projection or a poor attempt at humor, as those are some of the very outcomes feared and believed to have been result of vaccine reaction by mothers whose children experienced severe developmental issues following vaccination.

I delayed my second child's MMR past the point of speech development, after my first son reacted adversely to his MMR with fever and high pitched screaming the likes of which I'd not heard before. It started several hours after the injection and went on long enough to raise enough fear for me to go against the conventional wisdom (i.e.man made schedule)and delay our second child's MMR until speech was developed.

More flexibility with scheduling is needed, with less labeling on either side. Not all of the fear around this issue is groundless.

A fascinating cross rip of anti immigrant and anti science on this thread. We adopted a boy, 2-3 years old, from Colombia. We didn't have any medical history. The folks in Colombia said it was 50/50 he had been vaccinated. We chose to err on caution and vaccinated him when he got to the US. I shudder to think what some here think. "WE DON'T NEED NO FOREIGN UNVACCINATED KIDS..LEAVE THE SPIC IN COLOMBIA!!"

@ Spinelli

Bull...shit. There is nothing unscientific about pointing out that ILLEGAL criminal aliens who are sneaking into this country are carrying diseases. Even the so called refugees are riddled with disease. 30% of those in New Hampshire are carrying active tuberculosis. They haven't been screened and are being strewn across the nation to infect others. Measles, infectious diseases of all kinds, Dengue fever carriers, Zika carriers. The list goes on and on.

Ellis Island was created for a purpose. To screen incoming immigrants. Weed out those who were ill and those who were criminals. They were sent back home. Today we have no idea who is streaming across our borders. Evidently you don't care either if those are placed in schools to infect children with diseases that have not been seen in this country. You don't seem to care if the illegal dishwasher or cook in the restaurant is coughing TB germs all over the food.

I'm not talking about a 2 year old child, but fully grown men and women from all over the world, not just Meso America. The freaking world is invading our country and jumping right onto the dole, benefits, Social Security, welfare. Money money money. Young adults who the media want to call youths but who have had plenty of time to grow a beard and catch TB are being put cheek to jowl with the American public.

So you can just stuff it with all your virtue signaling about your adopted Colombian child. Here's a ribbon.

It isn't anti immigrant. It is anti the ILLEGAL invading ALIENS who are breaking the laws by being here in the first place. If you have some difficulty with the definition of ILLEGAL or ALIEN....maybe your wife can assist you in finding a dictionary.

That would require that you take your head out of your ass first though.

Don't count on it DBQ. It is so firmly implanted up there that there is no coming back.

Obama specific brought in undocumented unaccompanied children in violation of the immigration law. He issued executive waivers that brought diseases never seen in many years. Because other idiots didn't vaccinate their children they got sick.

None of those kids had loving families to take them in and take of them. They were dumped into our already overburdened social safety net.

The virtue signalers can all take bows for that.

I bet there is a one for one correlation between those who approve of illegal immigration and don't vaccinate their kids.

You haters need to take a deep breath. ALL 4 of my grandparents came to this country via Ellis Island. They went through all the indignities. They were better citizens than some of the haters here. The science I was talking about is the meme that vaccines cause autism. I'm more than a bit surprised Mama buys into it. Life is full of surprises. Cali is the Mecca of the anti vaccine people and it is primarily because of these US CITIZENS that your fine state is also where easily controlled communicable diseases are making a comeback. Too bad there's not a hate vaccine. I've learned a lot. I'm surprised @ how shrill DBQ is on this topic. The NYC asshole has shown what he's about for a long time. I surmise he heard a lot of this hate growing up.

ndspinelli said...

I don't abide illegal immigration. I simply don't hate them. But, you folks have more than enough hate, your cup runneth over.

Geez, chill out DBQ. Travel can easily account for at least half of all that. I guess now we have to SHUT DOWN THE BORDER for pleasure cruises, too.

Also come on anti-vaxxers are not foreign-born.

Smallpox can't re-emerge. It's been eradicated and has no known natural reservoirs.

I realize that this is the year for full-bore nativism on the right but can we let just a little ray of reason shine through? Just a peek? A pinhole of actual fact or two? Pretty please with sugar on top?
