We're speed running the destruction of the entire planet.
And the best part is, it's not even to become rich enough to never have to worry about money again. Their great grandparents already made sure that was their reality. It's literally just to make number bigger. 99% of human suffering can be boiled down to "making number bigger" for just like 100 people.
I'm absolutely shocked we haven't already resorted to violence. We could save ourselves 99.99999% of that suffering through just a little bit of sacrifice.
The parents should be charged if they knowingly did not get their kid vaccinated for bullshit reasons.
Hope none were pregnant. Wouldn't want to have a miscarriage in Texas.
At least they don't have autism!... /s
Those poor kids, especially when this was completely preventable.
Measles has a low death rate .1% but some of the long term side effects like brain swelling because you are afraid of a vaccine is not worth it.
Doesn't it also "reset" the immune system?
Examination of child mortality rates in the U.S., U.K., and Denmark in the decades before and after the introduction of the measles vaccine revealed that nearly half of all childhood deaths from infectious disease could be related to MV infection when the disease was prevalent. That means infections other than measles resulted in death, due to the MV effect on the immune system.
MV = measles virus
Well that's way worse than I thought.
Yes, it kills most if not all memory immune cells.
