VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM!
However
Measles can cause encephalitis and brain damage.
Chickenpox can lead to permanent scars.
Meningitis has long term consequences like seizures and motor function disorders.
Polio can cause respiratory paralysis.
Vaccines are SAFE and prevent life long misery.

No, Vaccines Don’t Cause Autism—Here’s the Proof Parents Need to See
Countless studies have shown no link between vaccines and an increased risk of autism spectrum disorder. But some parents still hold onto that belief.

He won a Grammy. He played Madison Square Garden. He dated Dasha from Red Scare. Okay, so one of those things probably counts as a punishment. Nonetheless!
Louis CK is not in a limbo of cancellation. He's straight up not cancelled & his "cancellation" became a profitable bit for him.

Obviously babies younger than six months can't be vaccinated. But if you're a plan of a baby six months or older....please get them vaccinated.

Unvaccinated infants are the second most likely group to get hospitalized for Covid after older adults. Any effort to minimize the effectiveness for kids is evil.

When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

We're re-watching New GIrl, and I'd forgotten that Jess and Robby ended up being third cousins, and they're so squicked out about it.
I guess it hits different when you're not really into genealogy and genetics... and you don't have an aunt and uncle who were first cousins when they married.

I’m honestly tired of arguing whether autism is a “good thing” or a “bad thing.” We’re human beings. We exist, & we aren’t going to change. The only discussion I’m interested in is how to support & accommodate that existence. #Autistic

I, like many, think about this every day, and I'll never get used to the defensive reaction others have of "LOL oh well, at least it's over!" I understand it's a psychological defense so they don't break, but a lot of disabled people "broke" 6 years ago and few have noticed. Two different worlds.
People have loved ones that have died in this Great Jump backwards. They have to believe it has some purpose. And all those thoughts around disease being inevitable/natural/normal helps them wake up every day and live with what has happened.

It is unfathomable that the USG lawyers would sign off on a no-survivors boat strike (no get of jail free card).
There's clear precedent dating back to World War II trial of Germans for that very act, which lawyers know well.

Saw my rheumatologist yesterday, and she said the latest strain of COVID is fucking up people's liver function. People get COVID, a few weeks later, their liver enzymes are elevated. She wants me to tell her if I get COVID so she can order lab work afterward. (Thankfully, I wear FloMask everywhere.)
I teach all of my classes in an N95 because my gift from having COVID (pre-vaccine) is an autoimmune disease that destroys my kidney function. COVID gave me kidney failure, which will require a kidney transplant. What's the #1 cause of death (aside from CKD) in patients waiting for dialysis? COVID.
(and i think it is a demand that stems from fear more than a rational assessment of the threat environment)
