      Do they even realize the immense amount of human suffering this would cause if there’s another polio outbreak?

      Do they even care?

      No, my understanding is that he wants to ban all mandatory vaccinations (never mind that it’s very easy to exempt your child from “mandatory vaccinations”).

      So we would be back to around the 1850s, I would think. Smallpox inoculation became common throughout the Civil War, so I guess it was some point before that when we didn’t have any widespread vaccination.

        His lawyer just asked the FDA to pull the polio vaccine so definitely wants it gone first. Guess Trump wants all future children crimpled and beholden to him.

          Nah. They hate us disabled folk. We’re not very productive workers or soldiers.

            They want disabled kids born to drain their parents’ money in a desperate attempt to save the child. Then, when the disabled kid is old enough, they’ll put them in ‘care facilities’… I’m sure anyone who’s read up on the history of American asylums will know what those places will actually be.

      As bad as that is, they are going to really, really fuck things up by meddling with mRNA technology. Brainworms is just bonkers.
