In case it's not painfully obvious, this is a parody account.
For sure instead of having your child scarred for life from a vaccine like the picture shows, a mild case of death is preferable.
Stay safe out there, vaccines contain stuff with long words that sound dangerous. There are also many rumors that vaccines can cause all sorts of weird things you wouldn't believe.
In case you wonder, this is sarcasm.
Just yesterday I was about to eat an orange from the supermarket, but then someone told me these contain (2R)-2-[(1S)-1,2-dihydroxyethyl]-3,4-dihydroxy-2H-furan-5-one. I mean seriously, I can't even pronounce this - the question is who benefits from adding these chemicals to our fruits? The government?
Luckily for me though, I replaced oranges with a healthy dose of Cheerios™ and I'm feeling very healthy and refreshed.
Wash that down with a Diet Coca-Cola™. Vitamins keep the bubbles fizzy!
Oh no, I drank some Dihydrogen monoxide! I hope I don’t die, cases of death from Dihydrogen monoxide exposure are quite common
As long as it's mixed with a slight amount of sodium chloride along with some other natural minerals you should be fine. I heard drinking it pure makes your cells explode
We should ban it! BAN DIHYDROGEN MONOXIDE! ANYONE WHO DRINKS IT DIES!
Chemist here, no clue what this was at first glance. Hell's bells IUPAC names for organic molecules are ugly. It's ascorbic acid.
That's why we biologists don't ever touch IUPAC names.
Does it come from an orange? Great, now it's called orangy acid. Works fine for us.
What's that? Sugar from a fruit? Fructose. Don't bother us.
I love this.
Absolutely outrageous, they also contain vitamins, and did you know vitamins are chemicals!!! Better to avoid that shit. With artificial flavor and color you get way fewer chemicals.
The author here makes it sound like contracting mumps and/or encephalitis is a "choice." But what they leave out, an important detail.... like how about a child's natural immunity?!? Besides, you don't want an injection to cause autism or worse, a peanut allergy that deprives your young child from the joys of peanut butter jelly sandwiches for the rest of their life.
Realistically, aren't we all a little tired of big pharma shoving these hard-to-pronounce ingredients and microchips into our God-given flesh?! So I challenge you, to do the research and truly decipher the right choice for your young children. It's critically important; vaccine injuries can happen. Just look at what happened in nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcer's table.
If you're the real guy, I am so happy to see you here.
Even if he is the guy let's not let this be like reddit where if someone else does the meme they get down voted. Anything reddit did can fuck off here in our new place.
You bastard.
The weirdest thing about this whole antivaxx movement is that it has spread to Europe too. Greece has conscription, so 90%+ of greek males have served in the greek military. And almost all of them got vaccinated with a trillion vaccines, including ones against gozzila(you can never be too safe). And thats on top of whatever vaccines babies usually receive.
Noone complained about it. There was some antivaxx movement before but with covid, everyone went crazy with the vaccines. Suddenly vaccines were evil, noone knew what they had in them, it's a global conspiracy. Everyone became a vaccine expert.
America needs to stop exporting their brain rot, we already have enough on our own.
No one complained about it because there wasn't a national, or global, effort telling people to blindly rebel against it.
It's the hive mind hardcore right mindset these days. Drum up something for the pawns to run around screaming and they will willingly volunteer their time, money, freedom, and lives so the elites running the movement can retain wealth and power
Don't blame america, blame the media moguls
not all of them are american, in fact the worst of them is aussie
Stupidity, ignorance, and hysteria aren't unique to America. The USA just has the loudest voice in traditional/social media.
My coworker's cousin got a vaccine once and later they dropped their cell phone and cracked the screen. Coincidence, or proof of the evils of vaccination?
My god! The same thing happened to me but it had been years since my last vaccination. Proof that they stay in your body for a very long time.
I have a vax scar that looks exactly like this. It's not the MMR as this tweet claims; I had that one too and there is no scar. This was a smallpox vax, which do commonly leave a mark, and I got it when I was five. I don't remember, but I've been told I was sick for a week.
Clearly, I recovered. Maybe that colors my view on this issue, I dunno.
But to truly understand the position of the individual that tweeted this, go look up some pics of actual smallpox cases, and then visit Wikipedia to learn about how many die right off the bat (some with horrible variations like hemorrhagic smallpox) and how many others survive, many with only massive scarring, but others with lasting internal damage and little-understood post-viral syndromes.
And then, now that you have a better idea of what smallpox is, reflect on how these anti-vaxxers would literally rather have smallpox, and see their kids have smallpox, than brave a preventative vaccine that has worked well for over two hundred years in one form or another.
I will never understand that.
I like a further way to put it into perspective and to show how far as global society we haven fallen since:
The WHO launched its vaccination campaign against smallpox in 1958 and it lastet until 1977. So during the height of the cold war the West, the Sovjets, China and all of the Third world came together, to get everyone vaccinated. While pointing nuclear weapons at each other they all still understood what a shitty disease that is and worked together on this issue, because they all saw it as a responsibilty to rid the world of that disease.
And they fucking did it. They vaccinated almost everyone in the world so the disease is considered extinct. Today we get Karen instead who'd rather have half the elderly in her community die, than wear a mask while shopping.
My mother also got the smallpox vaccine and had a permanent scar from it. I pointed it out as a small child and she told me about it, I asked my dad and he had one too. I thought it was cool, like a rite of passage where one day I'd be old enough to get my own permanent vaccine scar. But then they had to go and eradicate smallpox, saving countless lives. Bummer, dude.
I have two theories.
A bunch of these people are scared of needles and are looking for any excuse not to get a needle. They don't want to feel alone so they spread lies so others don't get it either.
They want people die and get off on that.
Some are really that irrevocably convinced that vaccines are the harmful thing. They don't know how to question things properly and they end up following whatever lead they got hooked to. It's a failure of modern education and society to fail to question things correctly. Questioning without logic or reason or being willing to accept you are wrong is unproductive at finding truth. However it's a potent way towards confirmation bias.
I think its mostly snake oil sellers and their radicalized victims. The flatmate of my girlfriend was an anti vaccers. She bought some extract from local plants for a 100 € because the guy told her it would soak up the vaccine from the body when there will be mandatory vaccinations.
Of course there were no mandatory vaccinations, having some hobo made tincture working against an mRNA vaccine is clearly ridicilous and she could have collected these plants in the next park and made the extract with some high proof alcohol for less than 5€.
One of the leaders of the covid conspiracy movement in Germany fled to Tansanie having defrauded his followers of more than 10.000.000 €
If you look into conspiracy products it is insane. Some wooden pole with some Glass balls in it? Yeah thats some energy protector, only 6.000 €
Mild cases of death???
As in, they are not too serious.
Yes, such that they'll bounce back given a few days, weeks, months, years tops.
The South African conspiracy crowd is crazy fucking stupid. It ranges from "Pokémon Go is from the devil" to "Apartheid wasn't that bad, actually".
They eat up the American conspiracies too. Why the fuck is 52 year old Margriet from Roodepoort in a QAnon Telegram group chat? Fuck knows
Antivaxers are an absolute scourge on society.
I had mumps when I was 27. Somehow I was too early for the UK vaccine, but too late for the US vaccine. When I had it, my neck swelled up so I had no chin. I remember being in agony, walking downstairs in the morning to limp around, then going upstairs to the toilet. When I got up there I would see myself in the mirror and say "ribbit" and laugh at my neck. Which itself caused agony.
All because a fellow student from South Africa hadn't been vaccinated, caught it, and spread it to me.
I haven't since impregnated a girl, so I guess I got that going for me.
So I love the sentiment, but this is not a mumps vaccine scar. This is either from the smallpox or TB (BCG) vaccines. Important to get it right or your local anti-vax types will seize the error and use it like a cudgel.
Adding a bit of context here, prof Tim Noakes is swell known prof in South Africa, so it is a funny handle in two ways, I guess
My dad had a huge TB vaccine scar on his arm from when he got it in the 40s or 50s. Guess what would have been worse? Dying of TB.
I once thought I had a mild case of death but it turns out I was just tired. But you won't see me taking any vaccines. No, sir. I just like shots. Like, a lot. As soon as a COVID booster is available, I will be first in line. And they're free.
You can never tell with some people if there joking or serious
"mild cases of death" - If you thought this serious I think that's on you lol
This one is a verified parody account, but I know what you mean.
Dying never killed anyone
Governments need to create “weird shit” agency’s. We need people being visited by men in black, weird encounters in the middle of nowhere, scare some lake fishermen, start up number stations again, set off a bomb in the middle of the Black Forest…
Since this stuff dropped out of mainstream media I think it’s why the nutters have moved on to vaccines and big pharma. We need to feed these people less harmful tripe.
sweet release of death ... ah shit nvm
is there are /2meirl4meirl on lemmy?
"The attempt on my life has left me scarred and deformed!"
