Its insane to me how people will essentially brag that they failed high school biology.
Are you just so dumb you dont grasp that youre turning on a neon sign saying "I dont understand common science facts that children know"?
Or is your lack of understanding a sticking point of pride among the stupid?
Do you feel like a big man when you write insulting comments to people on the internet? Are you proud of what you've written?
Sorry, did the guy who is actively trying to argue that the multi year studied vaccines designed to combat the neuron and lung degredation disease isnt safe or worth it just try and act like anyone making fun of him shouldnt be proud?
My comment makes people laugh at you. Yours gets people choking to death on their own breath.
E: oh, sorry, youre not the anti vaxxer, just someone coddling them. Yeah, no, I have no sympathy for anti vaxx dipshits. Coddling these morons killed thousands of thousands of our neighbors literally less than 3 years ago. There is no tolerance for this dangerous willful stupidity in a safe society.
Your comment does nothing but make people angry. It's not helping anything, and will not change the behavior of anyone. When you insult someone, you only make enemies for yourself, and that's nothing to be proud of.
Take some time and think about what you write and how it can realistically affect the world. Would you not rather make a positive contribution, and improve social media?
Making these people think their crackpot kook shit is a respected viewpoint that they can bring to the table as an equal and respectable standing is the reason this shit was spread so far and so pervasively.
Its not a real stance. Its not a respectable opinion. It is killing people.
You are coddling and fostering anti vax acceptance by treating it as anything other than what it is. If you want to lecture someone about affecting the world, look in a mirror. Youre giving this shit a seat at your table, so it can kill the people eating there.
You want a positive improvement to social media? Do not make anti vax idiots welcome. They do not need more help spreading this garbage.
