    Humanity tried that for a couple of hundred thousand years. It didn’t go so well. Then they discovered vaccines and it was a big improvement. But I guess the Republicans want to try the old way again just to make sure.

      What’s the sad truth is that vaccines are a victim of their own success. We seem to be right at the point in generational die-off where all that wisdom is being lost and a whole lotta dipshits that didn’t watch babies dying of preventable diseases are now taking over…and believe the anti-vaxxer bullshit about how it was “really” because of things like septic systems, clean water, etc…

      (What’s even scarier is that also explains the rise of fascism, too. I know the 80 year cycle theory has supposedly been disproven, but it would explain a lot about the rise of the “alt-right” nonsense among the young)
