@old_hippie I'd be interested in knowing what Mitch McConnell thinks about getting rid of the polio vaccine

@old_hippie Were there really only 13 measles cases in the whole US in 2020? I thought I remembered it was having a bit of a resurgence since Wakefield's dodgy research.

@old_hippie if it wasn’t for the childhood victims I would be all in for rampant plagues decimating republicans everywhere

@old_hippie @alice and yet… I moved recently from the US to Scotland and my kids just got their flu vaccines *at school*. It was very convenient. This would be unheard of in the US. You’d have Karens doxing the principal in real-time on TikTok.

@old_hippie (It's probably safe to assume the only reason there are any cases at all post-vaccine are anti-vaxxers refusing to vaccinate and to a significantly lesser degree the medical industry not making sure everyone is vaccinated who can be vaccinated. That's mostly a problem in other countries, but it spills over a little because international travel makes it so that unvaccinated people sometimes carry diseases in that should've been erradicated.)

@old_hippie and now we will have an anti-vaxxer in charge of the CDC. 😬

@old_hippie sadly this simple chart won't do much. Even with a chart of caused deaths it still wouldn't change some anti vac people as they think it is God's will or something like that. I don't tolerate those opinions in influencing main points of laws.

@old_hippie especially since the US population has about doubled since 1960
