“What you put into your body is because of your relationship with your body and God,” he added. The government does not have that right."
You hear that, reality-based community? The government has no right to take relevant action for public health. Because JESUS. I’m sure this business about “your relationship with your body and [their g]od” won’t preclude the jackasses in this government from interfering in women’s rights and trying to harass trans and gays, etc. though. Probably the same thing when it comes to resurrecting the War on Some Drugs, too…
Anyway, if some kids have to die cuz FREEDUMBZ they’ll apply the same logic they do for the Second Amendment - if some kids have to die as collateral damage for a bunch of fucking idiots to have a sense of the FREEDUMBZ, the conservatives will abide, because they are sick motherfuckers.
Nah. I talked this over with a friend earlier; you don’t really have to look any farther than Mitch McConnell to see what’s what. Dude has suffered lifelong complications from measles and still played an integral part in where we are. It is going to take entire generations growing up losing friends and family before this sinks in. When the mandates stop, child mortality is going to rise in both vaccinated and unvaccinated groups. Herd immunity is probabilistic, not binary, after all. This is going to be a repeat of covid, amongst people primed to believe that if vaccinated people get sick, the vaccines are somehow fake. Paradoxically, the deaths are going to build the maha movement, not end it. And the US apparatus does not give a shit; so long as capitalism keeps running, nobody is systemically doing shit. Hell, if the economy goes tits up, even then the most we’re going to get out of the US is just enough reconstruction to get it going again. This means that first gen, you’re going to have kids indoctrinated with shitty “proof” that vaccines don’t work, that faced slightly elevated mortality rates. Then you have a second generation with even more dead and disfigured, maybe questioning maha while largely propagating those same beliefs into adulthood. Only when you get to gen 3, gen 1’s kids, will you see it “sink in” amongst people raised in antivaxx communities, and even then it will take decades for them to grow up enough to deconstruct the maha movement their grandparents and great grandparents built. Make no mistake, this is a project that took the right 50 years to build; expect at best the same timeframe to dismantle.
Maybe when the children’s bodies start piling up, the fix might finally get through their thick skulls.
Naw, because of Jeebus and their gawd. To wit:
