Polio is still active in our recent family memory. My uncle (who would be in his 80s) had polio as a child. This is not something we collectively or individually want circulating again.
With a platform & brain as large as yours, why haven’t you asked the perfectly normal question, “was the election rigged by a twice proven election cheater who made strange remarks before election leading one to believe he DID rig it?” And thus demand a forensic election audit???
It absolutely was! Even Hakeem Jeffries spoke about the crazy trend in voting a few days ago where supposedly TONS of Dems voted for Trump but then blue down the rest of their ballot. Nope, not buying it! I also refuse to believe 67% of women voted for him!
My mother got polio as a young child. When the vaccine came available she made sure our whole family of 6 got vaccinated and the boosters. I’m in my 70’s. No polio for any of us.
How could anyone actually vote Trump ONCE nevermind TWICE? I suppose it would be like the Brits voting for Brexit again - or voting Farage for PM - what a 'beastly' thought😲
The only winners will be lawyers who’ll litigate this for c 3-4 years. The futility of populist politics in the face of organised sanity. Then the populists will cry deep state & we can’t argue cos you can’t prove a negative. Best we can hope for is delaying tactics of blocking litigation. 🤦♀️
United Health publicly suspected of breaking the law in denying claims. Jr's trying to bring back polio and other diseases. Trump's immigrant policy will prevent farmers from feeding us. Oligarchs are literally trying to kill us all
Wtf? Polio was dealt with and now these idiots want to get rid of it. My MIL knew ppl that had polio growing and how it affected ppl before the vaccine and it was horrible. Idiots all of them
when you use "we" you don't have to be +1 human-centric, #thermodynamic nihilist. You can be anything you want! Like +1 bilateral #journalist who moves slower than "the speed of light" between the Earth which is #now "everything" smaller than the Sun: ☀️🧠 #left 🧠🌎👈🏾 https://allfutureprecisions.info ≠ -1🍉
I will gladly ask the school for lists of kids/people who are unvaccinated and sue them when people get sick. We all should. If they make us pay a price a price should be paid in return.
my daughter is caught up on her vaccines and seeing assholes like this pisses me off to no end but I'm going to ask her doctor to speed up that process as fast as possible. I'm scared for her health and safety.
I thought Republicans were about freedom and choice…if you don’t want a vaccine then don’t get one but don’t fuck over the people who believe in science
I have a feeling vaccines and abortions are going to go to the black market
All those fekking halfwits who told us not to worry, that it wouldn't be so bad, that Harris had an annoying laugh, that our democracy was strong enough to survive #CoupPart2, who delayed his convictions, who refused to report on the microtargeted propaganda that's been brainwashing folk for 4 years
Vaccines have been around for 230 years, saving millions of lives since George Washington in 1796. Sadly, an unqualified incompetent JFK is about to destroy 230 years of medical science.
According to "the speed of light" being ✌🏽+✌🏽words, we (life on Earth) are this planet's #thermodynamic immune systems" (✌🏽words); so our sister-brain-sides #will= #now work like this:
These are your representatives hard at work on your behalf remember there the smart ones were just living in their world don't forget to vote for all of them again in 2 years so we all can complain about how stupid they are.
Just read replies on the other side. All repeating the same rubbish vaccines cause autism, vaccines are wrong. All I can say is if you want to go to US on holiday make sure you have your vaccines up to date.
There is zero political or social reason to repeal a mandate for such a vaccine. Either RFK Jr is an absolute moron or there's an economic opportunity to exploit for the advantage of healthcare industry. We're headed for disaster.
I still believe that these idiots would ban these things except for the elite few. They know that the lack of vaccines will be a part of their ethnic cleansing process.
This is insane! My brother died from polio back in 1949, at the age of six! It was only because there was no vaccine at the time! My dear mother must be rolling in her grave right now like she is on a rotisserie spit cranked up to hyperdrive!
What an absolute shit show. I used to use words like "baffled" and "mind blowing" to describe what has been going on but those words and phrases just aren't adequate anymore, they just don't carry enough weight to describe what's going on in the States. You are well and truly fucked!
We definitely are f*<#ed and I unfortunately think it’s going to affect the future of the world! I can’t even express adequately the dread that the new year will bring for us.
No offense you already got it in Kemi Bandedoch…if you think you magically become working class by working a shift at McDonalds..you might be a grifter..
We are. I have to cling to the notion that doctors and scientists at FDA and NIH will resist. Obviously polio vaccines work, the proof is decades almost a century, that kids have been polio free.
I’m a boomer I remember when you regularly saw Polio victims with thin limbs… limping as they walked or confined to wheel chairs, a lifetime disability… and those were the survivors… you don’t see that today until Trump unleashes Bobby Kennedy on us… Vaccines save lives in many ways!
This headcase has 40 professionals working on his antivaxx actions. The breathtaking stupidity of it is topped only by sheer bafflement as to how they can all sleep nights.
"But don't you know vaccines make us sick? Vaccines cause all sorts of diseases. Vaccines caused autism cause Jenny McCarthy, the well known scientist, said so. Before vaccines no one got sick!"
How long before Americans will not be allowed into other countries for fear they'll bring in with them the plague? Instead of moving forward Trump and his cronies are moving us back into the dark ages.
Surely this should be viewed as a form of Terrorism. The maga nut's with putins backing are going to do anything to break the US. This includes failing to prevent, preventable disease maiming and killing portions of the population.
I was speaking with my dad earlier.
He mentioned that he hasn’t even put up Christmas decorations yet. I mentioned the same. We both noticed that we haven’t really noticed anything Christmasy. Everything just seems kinda blah and muted.
We came to the conclusion that everyone is depressed
This is so insane! I had a cousin crippled by polio. And contrary to what people think, it's not just children. I knew an adult wheelchair bound by it.
It's an aristocratic game, meddling with the peasants, pushing them here and there, seeing how they break under the strain whilst laughing with one's rich pals.
Conservatives want dead Americans. Remember last time when they wanted to throw their mothers and fathers into death piles so the rest of them could go to Olive Garden?
We got fuck by the deplorables who elected him. The fucking started in November and will not end until we get the fuck out of office. Until then, resist the deplorables at all costs.
Dr. Stanley Plotkin said having Mr. Siri in a position of influence “would be a disaster.” He added: “I find him laughable in many ways — except, of course, that he’s a danger to public health.”
Really, this idiot of a lawyer need to read Senator Mitch McConnell bio and his life long affects from polio. We have had excellent protection for decades that may come to an end.
It won't happen. Trump and his buddies are getting too big for their britches. The sane American politicians and the rest of the world will not allow this.
You know what's even more fucked? Posting publicly crucial stories of this magnitude only accessible behind paywalls. Can you please cease this practice??
This is lunacy. I lived through the fear and reality of polio. I vividly recall an elementary school friend one day being absent, then having my mother explain to me that he had contracted polio: later witnessing the aftermath of polio, a child coping with the constant pain of a lifetime disability.
Does that mean the government can be sued for malpractice? For negligence? There should be some path for redress from any person - no matter the age - who then is affected.
The byline for the Trump Administration should be "I am not responsible".
Absolutely. We are fucked. Every way we can possibly imagine. I fear this is the beginning of the end of life as we know it. We are going to have to live through times far worse than the COVID-19 pandemic.
This is madness. I am old enough to remember Iron Lungs. I can remember the 5 year old version of me deciding I would rather be dead than in one. The polio vaccine ended that fear.
"Vaccines undergo extensive testing before they are approved, and are monitored for safety after they come on the market. The process of taking an established drug off the market can be lengthy. The F.D.A. would need to outline a new safety concern. Then, hold a hearing and render a decision."
Maybe now they'll make the iron lung in sizes: petite, x-small, small, medium, large, XL & XXL.
I still don't believe Americans voted for this. I really don't believe it. Give me an honest RECOUNT, and I'll settle down. But seriously, a felonious rapist hiring billionair dimwits? Come on.
Thousands of dedicated folks work on a thing, then a gap-toothed moron species makes ONE youtube, and thousands die as a result. I am so embarrassed and ashamed of my country right now, I want to bay at the moon.
How horrible if we had to use iron lungs because people are getting polio. I didn’t realize people with polio needed to live the rest of life in an iron lung. How horrible – how claustrophobic
Fortunately it was a small minority who had to use iron lungs. Polio had a very wide range of effects from mild to fatal, with varying degrees of permanent disability including a withered leg.
Polio was very scary. Why would you want that again?
Lots of people live on ventilators without being sedated. They are trached. Having said that, it’s insane to think of people living that way from an avoidable disease!
Oh yes, I had forgotten about that type of ventilation. We really are entering Idiocracy. Thank goodness my daughters have already had their full course for polio.
Not necessarily. Least sedation the better. Folk do lie awake on ventilators for prolonged periods of time with no sedation whatsoever.
But I digress. Still not a place one would aspire to.
Yes, yes we are and sadly over 50% of this country is too ignorant to realize what is actually happening. 1% is too greedy to do anything about it except take advantage.
I already have had several Polio vaccines myself. If I need to, I'll take a fucking day trip to beautiful downtown Manitoba and get hooked up. Maybe I can get some kind of "favored nation" treatment, for a fee, I dunno.

Do not let the orange bastard take that away from you.
