MALILA!
(Make America Live in Iron Lungs Again)
Should we be making efforts to preserve guidance pages from cdc.gov, or do we trust that Internet Archive will survive through this administration to provide archived copies via wayback machine?
You won’t have to live in an iron lung if your health care provider refuses to cover the cost. See? The system works!
If there’s a file of this somewhere for me to archive, I’ve likely got space.
I’ve already got Wikipedia, medwiki and a few others in local files as I expect any fascist to destroy information and replace it with whatever suits their narrative
Not sure / not that I’m aware of. I was going to see if anyone was working on crowdsourcing an archive via scraping or some similar method. Does Wayback Machine let you download archives, maybe?
Let’s see if even Mitch McConnell would confirm this guy given that he had polio. Don’t have much faith though.
I think the GOP have already proven that they’d rather die than admit they were wrong.
*they would rather kill our children with preventable viruses than admit they were wrong
Surely this Republican who faced hardship won’t want anyone else to go through what he did.
Kennedy is an imminent threat to the health and safety of our children. I wish the worm would finish the job.
Just concentrate on the corn syrup you idiot. Pretty much everyone is on board with that.
And the legalization of weed.
yes. its amazing but there is a small nugget of win in some of their stuff.
You have fun finding those nuggets among the fun new slavery and lack of any future elections lol
um. u2. I guess.
A stopped clock…
oh you may not have realized but you accidentally put an l in there.
That industry will just buy out every room in every Trump hotel for a week and Trump will tell him to shut the fuck up or fire him and hire Joe Exotic.
He’s already got dr Oz lined up in the same position for when he fires Kennedy. I’d bet real money it’ll be on the order of 2 months, so mar 1 or so. He loves telling people they are fired, and he think episodically from 15 seasons of the Apprentice show.
Oh hey, more misinformation from this guy lol
You’ve got some hurt feelings from when we disagreed in another comment, dont you Jeff. You’ve got to let that stuff go. Your downvotes are not my fault.
If I was downvoted, I missed it. I’m just here to call out inaccurate information
Indeed, Kennedy is a fuck nut.
So idiotic I actually laughed reading that first paragraph.
He’s not even in office yet.
In case anyone has trouble loading this page, here’s an archived copy - https://archive.is/VRyJb
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.
Rules for thee, not the wealthy.
None. The wealthy can just take a trip to another country if it comes to that.
I mean once you have polio no amount of leisurely travel will cure you…?
But if you are wealthy you can take your kid to a doctor in Canada or something to get vaccinated…
I’m fucking moving to Canada if this happens. This is one of the best vaccines ever made.
Ah, a classic move by “the party of personal freedoms”.
“No-one even really gets polio anymore, so it’s just a waste of money…”
Just have polio partys for children so that they can catch it early and be protected!
Holy shit did he really say this??
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…
No
Yeah, that’s something Trump would say.
Fuck this idiot piece of shit. Hasn’t even started and I’m so sick of this nation again.
I feel like my “being able to tolerate living in a nation led by imbeciles” meter had barely started refilling this past four years. I think I needed 16 or so for something close to a full recharge. I’m prepared to reach new lows.
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.
Don’t worry, they may only get two years, but the damage they can deal will probably last the rest of your life. And if you’re transgender, the rest of your life might even be done before the two years are up.
Quick, someone lookup any owners of iron lung manufacturers. It will be one of these schmucks. Always follow the money
I guess it just works too well?
Kind of. Basically nobody remembers how bad it was when polio and smallpox and whatnot were killing people so they think getting a shot is worse than the alternative.
That’s one of the big issues I’m having with this, people do remember. Both Mitch McConnell and Neil Young have experiences directly related to polio, and that’s just off the top of my head.
That being said the last iron lung polio survivor passed away this year. (Last one so far.)
In 1955, when the success of the polio vaccine was announced, “Church bells rang, parades were held, and people danced in the streets”
Joni Mitchell too.
Sure, not literally nobody, but the younger of the two people you posted is 79. But an insignificant percentage of the population.
I think the point was more that despite their personal experiences, they are still supporting this mindset. So even if it was more widespread, it wouldn’t be preventing whatever is causing this “movement”.
Vaccination is actually one of the few (possibly the only) areas where McConnell is on the right side of history.
The anti-vax movement isn’t primarily 80 year olds.
Suddenly I care about Mitch McConnell’s health and well-being, in a way I’ve never felt before.
I’ve hated that guy since I started reading politics. A world where he’s a good guy, needs improvement.
