monkeypox; vaccination
Sometimes I start babbling on Twitter and it becomes a big long screed, and then I reread the screed and realize that maybe it deserved a blog post. So that’s what this is. Sorry not sorry? Sorryish?
MONKEYPOX
I’m not worried about sewers full of monkeypox. They add a bunch of chemicals in the waste treatment process that will (hopefully) kill the live virus.
No. I’m worried because they’re refusing tests for people showing symptoms if they don’t meet the criteria of being gay men. (For reals: They are turning away sex workers trying to get tested and vaccinated because they’re not gay men. People that come into contact with human fluids REGULARLY are being denied a vaccine for a disease that is spread through human fluids.)
The fact that people are pushing the "It’s a gay disease!" LIE so as to minimize the danger to the public… Like, who the fukk is saying this shizz???
Where did the lying start? Who began spreading this misinformation and WHY? What is the end goal of creating a public health crisis? Who benefits? What is the purpose? Who is trying so hard to make people sick?
Monkeypox is not a gay disease!
It does not ONLY affect men indulging in anal sex.
You can shake someone’s hand and catch it!
Someone scratches their balls, or wipes their nose with their hand, or coughs on you… and boom!
You start forming big ol’ sores.
It’s not magic. It’s not "God’s punishment from above."
It’s science.
Wash your hands with soap and water!
It’s like, have you ever been talking to someone and they just casually start picking their face?
Or you’re sharing a bowl, and you look away, and out of the corner of your eye you see them pick their nose and wipe their fingers on their pant leg before passing the bowl to you?
I’m a compulsive handwasher. In the wintertime, I HAVE to use lotion because otherwise my skin will crack and bleed.
There are people out there that don’t wash their hands after taking a poop–"Unless I get shit on them."
And they ALWAYS grab the stair railing.
They’re out there pushing the elevator buttons. They’re fondling the jugs of milk. They’re flipping through books and magazines. They’re handling the fruit.
Every human being is the main character in their own story.
And no human being wants to admit they’re a filthy person.
They’re all like "I touch my own food with my hands. Why don’t I get sick? Herpaderp?"
And my dude: You don’t get sick from ingesting your own urine and feces because they came from your body.
Let them sit out a while, and yeah, it’ll mess you up. But direct from the tap?
You have immunities to the filth that comes out of your own body.
Other people don’t.
They come into contact with your poop, and next thing you know someone’s "got the stomach flu."
"I don’t know how I caught it. Must’ve been a 24-hour bug."
No. You ingested feces.
Or think about this:
Do you wash your hands BEFORE you use the bathroom? Do you make sure to not touch anything with your wiping hand before and after you use it?
So why don’t you wash your hands before you change your baby’s diaper?
Is your baby not susceptible to disease?
Those little kids getting the monkeypox…
The grossness isn’t "OMG, must be pedophiles!!!"
No. It’s "OMG, people were out there touching other people and surfaces and whatever… and not washing their hands before hugging and kissing their children!"
The monkeypox is not a gay disease.
It is a highly communicable HUMAN disease that anyone can catch.
"Why are all these disease suddenly cropping up? What’s happening???"
My dudes: People have stopped practicing basic hygiene.
Wash your hands with soap and water!
VACCINATION
And like, all the diseases being spread around, and the resurgence of polio and measles and all kinds of diseases that we have been BLESSED to not have to deal with in our lifetime…
About 30-years ago people stopped vaccinating their children.
Some celebrity decided that their child’s autism diagnosis was tied to their infant vaccinations and STARTED SPREADING LIES.
They wrote a book. They went on the talk-show circuit. A once credible news network gave them a platform.
And antivaccination became the popular thing to do. It was the crystals of the ’90s, but with dead and disabled children.
Grifters glommed onto the idea of selling vitamins and supplements. They paid people money to write blog posts about "How to use silver mercury to cure pus-filled sores" and "Don’t trust doctors! They’re treating people FOR MONEY! It’s a scam. All they want is to be PAID! (Buy our products.)"
And all I can think about is the now-adult people walking around today WITHOUT basic immunities to things.
Like, that dude that caught the polio… From what I understand, he was not vaccinated against polio. He went to another country(!!!) where they use the oral polio vaccine (OPV) that has the live virus and someone there got vaccinated with the OPV, and they shed the live virus and the dude caught it and ended up with polio.
22-years old, and he wasn’t vaccinated AGAINST POLIO.
What the fuck are you people doing???
And like, all those people with their super sad stories about their "normal healthy babies" that "suddenly have autism*" or other developmental issues…
My dudes: You did not vaccinate your baby.
Flat out: You waved away the NECESSARY vitamin K shot when your baby was born.
At some point, the baby slipped off a bed, bumped their head on the side of a table, whatever.
Without the NECESSARY vitamin K shot that EVERY NEWBORN should receive AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, your baby likely had an invisible brain bleed that resulted in brain damage.
And if you’re asking "What’s a vitamin K shot?" and you have children…
My dudes: Babies are born with a limited amount of vitamin K in their bodies that they received from their host parent. Their bodies do not yet have the capability to produce it on their own.
"But I had my baby at home. How did the baby get a vitamin K shot?"
Well, if you went to a competent midwife, they likely gave your baby a little shot right after you squeezed it out. And if they didn’t, and they didn’t recommend that you get one within a day or two… They’re terrible at their job and you’re lucky you and your baby didn’t die at their hands.
Without the vitamin K shot, the likelihood of a baby dying in its first year is HUGE.
One of the BEST THINGS the modern world ever did was introducing vitamin K shots globally. People in the most backwoods of places have babies that survive into childhood because they receive a vitamin K shot.
MILLIONS if not BILLIONS of babies survived infancy because of the invention of the vitamin K shot.
We have been BLESSED with vaccinations and minor cures for big conditions… and people CHOSE to piss it all away.
They don’t even know what herd immunity is, but they’re sure they have it. Because they’re ignorant as fuck.
And they just keep opening their mouths and spreading the lies they were purposefully fed by TERRIBLE PEOPLE that profit off their misery.
It’s sad.
But also, at some point, you look at them and you look at their children, and you just have to shake your head when they die. Because an ounce of prevention something-something.
It’s sad. It’s wasteful. It’s "tragic". And it was all easily avoidable.
- Some of those kids have never been diagnosed as autistic. The parent, refusing all medical care for them due to distrust of the medical industry, just start saying that their kid has autism or whatever diagnosis they come up with. "My child is a STAR BABY. They are infused with cosmic energy and are an alien being that I have been blessed to show the way of human life. They should not be disciplined or asked to behave in public. They NEED the freedom to be themselves, even if that means dumping plates of food onto the floor in restaurants or using the N-word that they have magically taught themselves."
