Don't forget the flat earthers and anti-vaxxers!

With due respect, I wouldn't be in a hurry to stick in the boots on 'most' anti-vaxxers just yet, who merely raise concerns about what's really in those chemicals. 
They are not in the numbskull class of creationists, devil tail fondlers, big bang theorists, 'what shape' earthers, President Trump mud slingers,
or other attention seekers and paid mis-information PC vending trolls

Vaccines, that most people run to get themselves jabbed with, to supposedly become impervious to annual sniffles and pandemic class diseases (awesome marketing btw  :-+ :clap:)
know nothing about the custom cocktail or placebo being mixed into their blood stream

This isn't WYSIWYG diagnosis and parts replacement in electronics, or preventative car maintenance, or cleaning gutters 

Heads Up!  :o  someone is sticking you with something you know nothing about, and likely they know little or not enough about,
whilst the pharma companies that produce it may have got it wrong in the lab and or tests on monkeys seemed ok, 
and you're stuck with it, perhaps with permanent drama if there's liquid metals or byproducts in the concoction,

while they count and pocket your cash either way, and their suits get them off in court, or defer the case for decades

senso:
Or you might get the autisms..

You must be skipping your drugs...  ::)

--- Quote from: HighVoltage on April 23, 2020, 09:50:50 am ---Allegedly, Friday the 13th of October in 1307 was a bad day on earth for the Knights Templar's, when most of them were killed.

And since then the number 13 is a fearful and superstitious number.

Somehow I like instruments and lab equipment and calculators that have a 13 in their model number.

The version I heard as a kid was that at The Last Supper, in the gospel passion story, there were 13 people at the table (Jesus and 12 apostles), and that two were dead (Jesus and Judas) shortly thereafter.  As a superstition origin story, it makes sense, but I don’t know when (in history) triskadekaphobia became popular.

We're never going to change you believing in most if not all of the kooky stories out there. Just make sure you follow the bloody regulations so you don't get people killed. Maybe use the time off to befriend some sensible people like doctors who'll tell you first hand what they're dealing with right now. Well, maybe not right now as they're busy being useful.

I must echo Electro Detective's concern in agreement.  I know people with weaken/compromised immune system.  They would be facing a much elevated danger even with weaken virus (which is what vaccine often are made of).  Even my house-cat (my kid's cat) has immune issues.  We have to be careful with anti-whatever "preventive" injections.

By the way - now cats are twice-confirmed victims of the Wuhan Virus.   Two infected cats in NYC confirmed.
