      481 documented cases.

      How many rural anti-science hicks haven’t been documented?

      Geez, it’s almost as if this is one of the most contagious pathogens known to humankind. If only there were some way to protect against it :'(

        Maybe we should put money into inventing time travel so we can go back and see how they did it before.

        Oh don’t worry, I’m sure some of them are vaccinated but still has to suffer because of these dumb fucks and shitty luck.

      Enjoy that, Texas. I have fully stopped caring about people who insist on voting against their best interests.

        The feds aren’t doing nearly what they used to. We’re down to non profits, individual doctors, and random online groups trying to be what the NIH/CDC/FDA used to be.
